RETAIN THE SOIL MOISTURE
Most Important Factor In the Prodvs-
tion VI Large Crops Of Fruits-
Few Good Methods.

Conservation OF soil moisture re-
gard ~ the most Important Of all the
factors having to do with the produc-
ION Of farge crops Of small fruits. Un-
Ter present methods the questions Of
weeds does not concern me at all. for
In the process Of ideal maintenance
tinage weed growth is suppressed In
lts infancy. The only time that weed
growth II likely to prove . factor Of
any considerable consequence IL dur
ing seasons Of extremes in precipita-
ion. and. In the case of strawberries.
during the blooming and fruiting sea
sons. says . writer In The Horticul-
turist.
During the FIRST years Of my expert
ence a. grower of strawberries
thought that the one great purpose of
cultivation was to kill weeds. Since
that time the weed question has been
eliminated as factor of importance
In fruit-growing operations.
Where the dust mulch is zealously
maintained there is little chance for
weeds A few may escape. but such
are easily disposed of.
The plan or method OF culture fol-
lowed has much to do with the ease or
difficulty of maintaining an efficient
earth mulch. That method which per-
mits of the stirring of the greatest
amount of surface with horse-drawn
tools 10 the method the most to be de-
sired,
1t is essential that this mulch be
maintained close around each individ-
ual plant, for II this is not done the
aggregate area thus left open to sur
face evaporation 10 considerable. Then.
too. the moisture content OF the soil
directly under the mulched surface is
considerably reduced by capillary &c
ton of water toward the dried soil un-
der the unmulched surface.
Close around the plants the soil
should not be stirred to greater
depth than one inch. One-half even
will work wonders in conserving soil
moisture.
How frequently should cultivation
be givenf This depends somewhat
upon the nature Of the soil. and ire
quency Of showers. As = rule. once
. week will be sunlcient- In case OF
showers. the ground should be gone
over a. soon ~ the soil is dry enough
to permit Of cultivation. Where show
ers are of daily or frequent occurrence
this rule cannot be followed. It then
becomes question Of judgment. with
an element Of luck. perhaps, ~ to
which thower II to be the last.

tragedy that occurred at post OF the
Hudson bay copany.
Boys Marrow. Escape.
The four-year-old son of the agent.
well wrapped In fur, left the post house
one day to play about the door. With
him was his faithful companion and
protector, big mastif that the agent
had brought from England. The hus-
kies that composed the post team Of
sledge haulers at first had attempted
to welcome the masti1 to their midst
In the very literal sense of chewing
him up: but. BY dint Of giving two or
three Of the pack good mauling. the
mastin had established 1t. once and
for all, that he was not their meat So
now while the little boy romped in
the snow the huskies skulked about at
q safe distance. From out of the win
dow the child's mother. glanced occa-
sionally to see that all was we'll.
Suddenly there was . commotion
that sent the mother to the door in .
frenzy Of fear. One piercing scream
had come from the child. to be suc-
-csedsd by-l riot or yeips, snarls and
howls. The sight that greeted the
mother was appalling. Her boy was
down. with the pack Of huskies tum-
bling over one another to get to him.
while the big mastiR gallantly fought
to save his young charge from their
dripping fangs. The child. 1t was later
learned. had fallen on patch Of ice
and the huskies. ever ON the alert for
an advantage to attack, had set upon
him in an Instant The big mastif
.sprang Immediately to the rescue.
Their lust for human nesh had over
come the huskies' fear Of the .mastiR;
but while he could not save his charge
from being shockingly bitten, his
heroic onslaught upon the pack Of
maddened brutes prevented them from
tearing the boy to pieces on the spot
and thus enabled the mother to reach
her child before It was too late.
The next day the frosty air about
the post rang repeatedly to the reports

that broods over the wilderness had

Gardner's wireless is not Of the sort Of
which the world has heard 90 much.
John Gardner has fame not only in
his home; he is much esteemed within
the inner circles Of the British ad-
miralty. Over in England they have
what 10 termed the oncial secrets act,
and prosecution and possibly prison
walls are the penalties one may incur

This is all by way Of introduction to
-teat4 Wade . short while back BY the
Bfi31sh natal authorities upon one Of
the old royal cruisers. According to
the meager accounts that have reached
the public H. N. 8. Terpsichore was
towed out into Stokes bay after q mys-
teeious metal box had been attached to
her bottom away below the water line.
Once there she was anchored and
abandoned by her temporary crew.
When these had reached safe dis
tance something happened. There was
. great geyser Of water sent skyward
right alongside the ship. and before
she could recover from her violent
lurch down upon her deck fell the
laundering tons Of that upheaval. The
mysterious box had functioned per
fectly In obedience to the silent and
invisible command of the battleship
eight miles away.
A great rent was torn in the steel
skin of the Terpsichore. and 1t was all

could do to arrest the inundation and
keep the craft ahoat until she could
be towed back to port and dry docked
Some years ago John Gardner built
q small submarine which he was able
to guide by means of submarine sound
signals. He built that boat after he
had made extensive laboratory expert

Since then John Gardner has gone
steadily on improving his system. and
he was prompted to do this because he

was the fear OF Interference on the
