WOMAN'S WORK AT THE

Editor The Pulaskian:

EQ1JOf The HulaSKlan.
 The Woman's Department at fair! Such a lovely place to visit! It is here we see the worlds most wonderful work. Patience tied in thousands of little knots and stitches, called lace, wonderful lace. Just think what this lace and crochet work means-a great piece of work measuring many inches square, and made from one thread The spider long ago lost all claim to weaving when woman is consid- cred.
 Now, if it were bread, pies or preserves we men were to pass judgment on we might be ex- pected to know something about that; but when it is this marvel ous one thread, made into pieces of art work, then we are stump ed good and hard.
 It makes one wonder how and when and where women learned to make these handed-down
The Pulaskian., 1915-09-03

stitches, some of them probably thousands of years old; but when we stop to think that the sewing machine is new inven- tlon, just yesterday it might seem, when we compare the great length of time that woman has had to make clothes for the world, that she has learned about all that thread will do. She not only made the cloth, but she made the thread to make the cloth with, and thread to wom- ankind is the same that guns and swords are to man. She has used them always.
 Bring your wonderful work to the fair, that you may marvel, and perhaps some day he will wake up and regard you as you should be regarded, and give you the privileges you should have; ]; and some time maybe will let you weave into our laws your wonderful thread of smoothness and virtue, benevolence, truth and justice that will forever make his 45 centimeters silent, and his rotten politics impossi- ble.

GRANITE MOUNTAIN
 BERRY GROWERS
By Victor H. Schoffelmayer,
 in the Western Trail.


 A settlement along Sweet Home pike extending several miles over the slopes of Granite mountain about five miles from Little Rock, has devoted atten- tlon to strawberry growing with financial success. Almost every dairyman and farmer along this pike finds the berries a profit able side line. The acreage has been increased largely this year.
 For sixteen years w. P. Dixon of Sweet Home pike has raised strawberries without recording one failure. The profits have varied in different years. The variety grown chiefly is Klon- dyke, large red early berry and a good shipper. pr. Dixon has found that the public does not appreciate berries of high flavor and smaller size. It pre- fers large berries, no matter what the flavor. One hundred to 200 crates an acre is a com mon yield on upland, says MT. Dixon. Early homegrown strawberries reaching Little Rock before the middle of April command as high as S5 a crate. Later in the season they bring as low as $1.75 a crate, average income. In ten years, according to MT. Dixon's records, straw berries sold for an average of about $1.80 a crate, the lowest price being $1.18 and the high est average for one year S2.35. New land is best for strawber- ries. Both hill and lowland are heavily fertilized with we'll rot ted stable manure, often as high as fifteen tons being ap- piled on an acre. Strawberry beds yield productively for two years, occasionally three years, after which they are plowed up and planted to potatoes, corn or some other crop requiring ire quent cultivation. We'll cared for beds have been known to yield profitably for four years. The plants are set out in March when the ground is warm. Gull tivation is with Planet Jr. horse hoe, although a cultivator or small blow can be used.
 MT. Dixon, like dozens of oth- CTS in his community, stopped raising cotton twenty years ago and went to berry raising.
 Land which can be bought for $30 to S35 an acre some dis tance from Little Rock or Ben ton is ideally adapted to the raising of strawberries, garden truck or fruit in general.
 Nearly all the strawberry growers of Granite mountain also are engaged in dairying. All of them have from ten to fifty cows. They are members of an organization which pro tects them in price of cream and milk. MT. Dixon was one of the pioneers in the berry business, having gone into it with the idea of utilizing the large quan- titles of stable manure from his dairy herd.
