With the big game with Washington

pafatiyelys easy games in sight, the
tension which has existed in the West
Virginia football camp since the sea-
son opened will be somewhat relaxed.
Bethany College will be the next at

Buffalo creek lads coming here next
Saturday for the annual battle. TO

wonderful in the way OF strength, but
1t is a known fact here that Coach

Park Today.

There should be rejoicing tonight
In Fairmont. for the Fairmont Nor.
NAL School football team is going to
win today's game against the Keyser
Prep. School. AT least that is the
opinion of the majority OF the players
after yesterdays signal drill. The
keyser Prep. team arrived in the city
on train 65 last night from Keyser.
The visitors wished to see Fairmont
and the roads leading out OF the city
before the game so that they could
find the way home after assaulting
the Normal's eleven. Ii is generally
thought, however, that the keyser
team will not have to run very last,
in fact they will be either escorted
out or shown the way home.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The three systems Of growing straw
berries ere the hill system, the matted
row, and an intermediate between the
two, sometimes known as the hedge
row system. In the hill system the
plants are set In hills, one plant In
place, and no new plants are allowed
to form, according to the United
States Department of Agriculture's
Farmers Bulletin, No. 664. This makes
a large, vigorous plant, producing
large, uniform berries which ripen
evenly. This Is the system that Is
followed In Florida. One reason why
the hill system is used in that state
is undoubtedly because it is necessary
to take advantage of as much sunlight
as possible In order to properly color
and mature the berries during the
short days of the ripening season
other systems were used, and with
the short days and the large amount
of humidity In the air they would not
color well and many would rot on the
vines. The high cost of growing the
fruit in Florida and the heavy trans
portation charges to the northern mar
kets make it important to secure the
greatest possible percentage of large,
well ripened berries, and this can be
done under the hill system. The guam
tity Of berries that can be produced by
following this system is not always SO
large as under the other systems, bat
the quality Is much better, and the
percentage of f1rst-class berries and
the prices received are higher than
under the other systems.
Matted Row System for Quantity.
In the matted row system the run
ners are allowed to set plants to
inches on either side of the row. If
the belt of plants Is to be as wide as
IS inches. the rows should be at least
3h feet apart, in order to allow room
for cultivation. A larger quantity OF
berries is grown under this system
than under any other, but the fruit Is
usually smaller and does not rfpen as
well. The percentage Of high class
fruit is lower in matted rows than
when the hill system Is followed, but
the work of cultivation and thinning Is
less than under any Of the other sys-
TENS, and for that reason 1t is used
by most growers. Most of the grow
ers who use this system allow their

ever the soil and weather conditions
are favorable. In the southern sec
lions Of the South Atlantic and Gulf
Coast states the plants are set out in
late summer or autumn In both cases
the crop Is harvested the following
spring. In other sections of the South
the plants are set in late winter or
early spring and the crop is not har-
vested until the following year. Plants
set out in the spring and not expected
to carry a crop until the following
spring should have the blossoms kept
of during the summer, so that the
vigor of the plants win not be Inn
paired.
Many growers use young plants
from the old beds for setting new
plantations, while others buy from
plant dealers. The first method Is sat
isfactory If only strong and healthy
young plants are selected old plants
that have produced fruit do not give
good results and should never be
used A practice followed in many
sections is to cultivate and fertilize
the fields after the berries are har-
vested, in order to get a good growth
of runners. When the young plants
reach the proper size for planting they
are taken up and set out in the new
fields. This is good practice and
should be generally followed where
plants from the old patch are used.
Plantations that 10 mt Drnduce frIIiE
make stronger plants for setting than
those that produce both fruit and
plants.
Some varieties Of strawberries have
both stamens and pfstfls (male and
female organs) and are called "per-
feet Powered" while others have only
pistillate (female) flowers. When
planting Strawberries the grower
should give careful attention to this
point, for pfstfllate plants will be un-
productive when planted alone. When
varieties with only pistfffate flowers
are selected they should be planted
with perfect lowered varieties: a
common practice where imperfect va
rieties are used is to plant one row of
perfect lowered varieties to three or
four rows of imperfect, or pistillate.
plants. In such planting system the
pollen from the perfect flowers fer
tilizes the imperfect blossoms When
the flowers are not properly pollinated
the result Is large number of nub
bins or deformed berries.

turned his head slowly, and Elsa, who
had not dropped her hand, could feel
the muscles of his arm stiffen under
the sleeve. He held the strangers eye
defiantly for space. The latter
laughed insolently If silently. 1t was
more for Elsa's sake than for his own
that Warrington allowed the other to
stare him down. The flame passed,
leaving him as cold as ashes. 81 shall
tell you who he Is later; not here"
For the second time since that night
on the Irrawaddy, Elsa recorded a dis
agreeable sensation. It proved to be
transitory, but at the time it served to
establish stronger doubt in regard to
her independence, so justifiable in her
own eyes. 1t might be insidiously lead
ing her too far away from the step

those hateful eyes! The man knew
Warrington, knew him perhaps as a
malefactor, and judged his associates
accordingly. She thus readily saw the
place she occupied in the mans esti-
nation. She experienced shiver of
dread as she observed that he stepped
on board the tender. She even heard
him call back to his friend to expect
him in from Singapore during the sec
ond week in March. But the dread
went away, and pride and anger grew
instead. All the way back to the ship
she held her chin in the air, and from
time to time her nostrils dilated. That
look! If she had been nearer she was
certain that she would have struck
him across the face.
There will be no one up in the
bow" said Warrington. "Will you go
up there with me?"
After a moments hesitation, she
nodded. A moment after she felt the
old familiar throb under her feet, and
the ship moved slowly out of the bay.

"And how long is it since you were
here?"
-Four years." he answered without
enthusiasm. He would not have come
ashore at all but for the fact that Elsa
had ordered the expedition.
There was no inclination to explore
the shops; SO they hired landau and
rode about town. climbed up to the
quaint temple in the hills, and made a
tour of the botanical gardens.

taking In deep breaths Of the warm
