The Earth,s Surface.

Sir John Murray. in the course OF an
article on "The Deep Places in the Sea-"
in The Youths Companion, says that
more than three-fourths OF the ocean
floor and more than one-half of the sur-
tace of the globe is covered by water
that varies in depth from 1000 to 5000
fathoms, namely. one TO three miles.
The highest mountain on the face OF
the globe is Mount Everest in the Him
alaya range, The summit OF which, &C
cording 10 the latest measurements, is
290O2 feet above the level OF the sea.
If Mount Everest we're to be placed in
the Swire Deep, where the Planet took
its soundings off Mindanao. there would
be 3,0S7 feet OF water flowing over its
summit. Ii we add the height OF Mount
Everest, 29,002 feet, to the depth OF the
Planets deepest sounding, 32,0S9 feet,
we get 81 OCT feet, or over eleven and a
hell miles, as the extreme range OF varla-
ton in the level of the earth's crust. We
must remember, however, that the Oh
ameter of the earth is 900 miles, or nearly
700 times greater than that variation.
Thus, We might compare the terrestrial
globe TO an orange, and the roughness OF
the orange skin TO the mountain heights
and ocean depths on the surface OF the
earth. II We could be transported some
little distarl, ITO space, so that we could
view our globe as whole from the out
side, the earth would appear as a viz
tuaIly smooth ball.

Democratic Congressman have been
criticised in some quarters for not turning
out fourth class postmasters more rapidly.
This delay cannot be charged to the
Democratic Representatives from West
Virginia. The law required all fourth
class postmasters to be examined, and
il is impossible TO examine hundreds OF
thousands of applicants in short while.
The Postoffice Department had to take
this matter up Systematically and do it
by States. The work is going on rapidly
and just as soon as they can get TO West
Virginia the examinations will be made
and an eligible list established, and then
Senator Chiffon and Congressman Nicely
and Brown can make their selections
from the eligible list. This is the law

The new strawberry catalogues on
my desk remind me that planting time
is coming There will be thousands OF
home gardens in West Virginia where
the strawberry will be planted. To
those who are not planning the straw
berry patch, l should say "the way to
begin is to begin"
Cost and Profits In Strawberries.
There are twice as many strawber-
ries consumed by West Virginians as
are produced in the state. We have
the best of markets here at home.
Letters from growers show that the
wholesale price at Charleston aver
ages 10 cents per quart, or 50 per S2-
quart crate; Shinnston, 10 cents; Graf
ton, 1914 cents; Fairmont 10 to Is
cents. Professor Wilkinson says, THE
cost Of production averages about Sl.O7
per crate. A good yield in normal
year Is 5000 quarts, and the fellow
who can not produce 5000 quarts, or
100 bushels, per acre, should go out OF
business" Mr.. Bicycle, in his berry
book, gives 200 bushels as a good av-
erage yield. Suppose that we take
the minimum yield and increase the
cost Of production to $3.50 per crate,
leaving the net profit $3.50 per crate,
we would have a net profit of $3.50 per
acre. This is a greater profit than
from ten acres of corn.
Varieties.
The net profit depends as much on
the variety as any other one factor.
In a variety test, SO varieties showed
variation from 14,409 quarts per acre
down TO 622 quarts. Other valuable
data show similar differences OF yields
Of varieties. The following varieties
are perhaps the most suited and best
tested for West Virginia conditions:
Extra early varieties-August Luther
(perfect), st. Louis (perfecD, and
Golden Gate (perfecD. Extra early
are not usually as satisfactory as the
later. Medium early varieties-Sena-
tor Dunlap (perfect), Aroma (perfecD,
Haverland QmperfecD, and Chesa-
peake (perfecD, followed by Candy
Cperfect), Paul Jones (imperfect), and
Sample QmperfecD. In selecting va
rieties, be sure to get some Of those
marked perfect, to insure pollination
Of those marked imperfect, which pro-
duce no pollen. If the imperfect have
been selected, plant two rows OF them
and one or two rows Of perfect.
Soil.
Any clay loan or sandy loan
well drained and containing an abund-
ance of organic matter can be made to
produces strawberries. Newly cleaned
ground is especially we'll suited for
strawberry production. Fifteen to
thirty loads of manure per acre will
supply plant food, humus and increase
the water-holding capacity, thus in
surfing greater yields.
Preparation of Ground.
Fields having been in sod for years
should be cultivated in corn or pota-
toes a year or two to kill weed seeds,
and especially to get rid of cut-worms
and white grubs. Newly-cleared land
should be cultivated to corn one year
to prepare seed bed. Fields having
been cropped until they are unproduc-
tive should not be planted to straw
berries until fertility and humus are
restored. Thorough preparation Of
the plant bed is necessary for best re-
turns.

and asked him when he could start
the business.
He brought her plate of chopped
meat, loaf of bread and laid dollar
on the table,
OF course, that was kind of him
and so charitable, but you see, the
little woman didn't want charity. She
told him so, He was very much Of
Tended. He informed her the contract
she had made with him wasn't legal;
she couldn't hold him to it; he didn't
intend to let her in on the advertising
scheme; but if she would take $3.50
and sign a release Of the contract,
she would be getting out fine.
What would you have her do? If
she went to a lawyer and took the
matter to court, she would be lucky
to have 500 left when she got out of
it She took the $3.50.
Then, remembering the little store,
she answered an ad for another little
store.
Chivalrous Knight No., is i'm

not say to his conscience: 81 was

She wasn't big game-the little
woman, she only had $3.50. But one
of the stores she looked at had been
bought by young couple who had
paid the Chivalrous Knight No. the
sum of $500 in cash and had given
him a mortgage on the. place Of $500
more dollars, though it is said he
originally bought the store for $275.
There wasn't any business. It was
a bunco game. But the young people
seemed somehow not to have very
good principles, for they lent them
selves to misrepresentation in order
to get $1O0 out of the little woman,
and having secured the $100, they

ed the confidence game-for under
the guise Of wanting to assist her, he
spent all of his time at the little store.
And from what the little woman told
me of him, l would not think it
wild dream that he robbed the cash
box. He seems capable of it.
At any rate, though the little wO-
man was taking in about SIS day,
it seemed it all went out in replenish

And then No. 2 had a clever idea.
He had some sort of an advertising

he knew it would bring in profit to

Ali she would have to do would be
to get a fiat, say on a car line street
like Madison, so they would have Of

she could sit at home and take care
of her mother.
Oh, yes, she believed him. She
spent all the money she had in the
bank furnishing the fiat that was to
be the headquarters; she permitted
No. 2 to sell her little store so she
would have the money to pay for her
partnership.

he got it, since though it was hers, he
conducted the sale-he returned less
