This was not a good year for straw
berries, as the driving rains anne just
when the plants were blossoming, and
it is safe to say that in ordinary years
this crop will pay at least $500 per acre
net profit. There is considerable work
to this kind of farming though, and Mr..
Chichester has taken unusually good
care of his beds.

assign another army officer for duty

ever been stationed at the college, and
the many friends he has made in

parture.
