enough so that the plant roots are
we'll spread and the crown of the plant,
the point where the roots and the
stems join, is just above the surface
of the soil. Cover the roots deeply,
and tread the soil firmly around the
plants. Pick off the blossoms and dead
leaves and keep the blossoms off the
plants during the first season SO as to
conserve the eeergy of the plant and
get it well established. Be careful not
to allow the roots of the plants to be-
come dry before they are placed in
the ground.
Some of the plants are perfect and
can fertilize the seed, while other
plants in the same bed do not produce
pollen, hence require pollen from 9TH
er plants to produce fruit. For this
reason it is good plan to act one
row of perfect plants for every two
rows of the imperfect plants, although
variation.
AS soon as the plants are set in the
ground, water them well to bring the
soil particles in close contact with the
roots, and then either cultivate the
ground between the rows or cover 1t
with straw to prevent weed growth.
The cultivation is much preferable
during the first season. However,
many successful growers find it ad
visable to cover the ground with
straw until after the fruit is harvested
from a bearing bed, as it not only
prevents the growth Of weeds by
shading them, but it keeps the ripen-
ing fruit from being covered with mud
when it rains during the picking sei-
son.
The plants should be set about Is
inches apart in the row, and the run
ners, or vine-like tendrils, must be
kept back with hoe the first season.

Talks q,
WHAT ADVERTISING &c
BY GEORGE FITCH.

Advertising is the voice of business.
Some business can get along with
out advertising just as some men can
make living, although dumb. But
both are uphill jobs.
Advertising began when the eager
merchant went out on the street and
logged the pedestrian by the elbow to
some work and sometimes the pedes-
trian hit back Nowadays the mer-
chant can jog million men by the
elbow through the public print while
he himself is beating a worried golf
ball out of sand pit.
Advertising is peddler who brings
the wares of the world into the house
each day and tells you how cheap and
good they are Bnt it is more desir-
able than peddlers, because when you
are tired of a peddler you can't fold
| him up and put him on the pantry
shelves.
Advertising formerly consisted Of
the truth. Then imagination and eio-
! quence came to the aid of the truth
and for a while it looked as il they
would crowd it out entirely.
With the aid of imagination man
can sell cactus deserts and colored
water, automobiles and college educa-
lions, hymnbooks and patent crack
ers, tame lions and trained fieas, sky
scrapers and seed potatoes, fountain
IF
gum, corsets and blue sky.
BY advertising a man can dispose
of mountain of sawdust at ST per
ounce, Troy weight. Without adyer-
Using he can offer franlincense and
,myrrh to all corners free OF charge UNI
til the stuff spells on his hands.
Nowadays the live business man
begins by hiring an advertising writer
with the tongue of angels and Sc
ductive way in paragraphs. Then ne
buys $1,000.000 worth of advertising
space, and, lastly, he decides what to
sell.
Advertising makes millionaires and
presidents, makes great actors out OF
fur coats with indifferent filling, sup
Ylies widows with husbands, babies
with homes and deserts with people.
Advertising gets some people into So
ciety and others into jail. Advertls-
ing supports literature and makes ma
tons boom The country which adj
vertises wakes exceeding great and
immigration problems while the Land
which has no press agents crumbles
away and is discovered by archaeoso-
gists in the dim presently.
Advertising made Homer great thou
sands Of years after he was born and
introduced Rameses to admiring
friends 1900 years after he had re-
tired from circulation. Chicago con-
sists of Goshen, Ind, plus advertising.
Advertising has kept Sarah Bernhardt
young and attractive for sixty-several
years-and the lack of it made Poe
starve at forty.
Advertising is the voice OF business.

hoarse shrek and disturb the land

AT FAIR GROUNDS
FOR NEXT YEAR

With the closing Of the Delaware
State Fair at Wawaset Park last even
ing, the executive committee of the
Fair Association began TO plan for the
fair Of 1914 Among the plans to be
acted on at meeting of the executive
committee Of the Fair Association, viii
be that Of removing the large stables
towards Woodlawn avenue II this is
done the present race track will be
moved further east, and the sharp turns
viii be eliminated II has been sug
gested that the track he made a mile
course. This is hardly likely to be done,
however.
The members Of the executive COM
mittee have also considered the erecting
of one large building for exhibition pur
poses. This would bring together under
one roof many OF the displays and the
structure could be used for other pur-
poses in the winter months. That the
need Of such q building is urgent here
is known, the Diamond State Poultry
Association having experienced trouble
in displaying the exhibits Of their show
during the winter months.
Another idea brought up at the
conferences of the Fair Association
members this week was that of NOV
ing the Midway further toward the
western section OF the grounds
These suggestions will be considered
at a meeting of the executive COM
mirtee of the fair in a short time.
