STRAWBERRIES
FOR HOME use
In Setting Out a Strawberry
Bed for Home Use, Select
Long Fruiting Varieties
USE GREAT CARE IN PLANTING
March and Early April Best Time OF
Year for Starting Young Plants
Can Secure Several Crops.

sion,, University of Tennessee.)
In setting a strawberry bed for home
use, varieties should be used that will
give long fruiting season and fruit
Of fine quality; for preserving, firm
fruit is wanted, but for the table use
this is not essential. Michel's Early,
Lady Thompson, Aroma or 3W, and
Candy, ripen in the order named, and
are excellent for home use. A row
of each, one hundred feet long, should
provide an ample supply for large
family. Choose rich, we'll drained
soil, and plant two feet apart in rows
three feet apart. In setting, be care
full to plant to the exact depth they
stood before, and tramp firmly. March
and early April is the best time for
planting. Cultivate well throughout
the season, turning the runners into
the rows. BY fall the rows should be
well matted and at least eighteen
inches wide. In late October rake out
all loose or lightly rooted plants cross
wise of the rows with a potato hook,
and In December or January cover the
bed very lightly with clean straw.
The straw cover should be so thin that
the strawberries will grow up through
1t in the spring. Its only purpose is
to keep the fruit clean.
As soon as the crop is gathered, bar
of with turning pillow, leaving a row
OF plants six inches wide Distribute
manure in the burrows, then thin the
plants to fifteen inches apart and cul-
tivate well throughout the season. In
this way a strawberry bed can be cul-
tivated for years. though in CONNER
cial culture It is customary to take
not more than two crops from q plan
tation.

Officers Wear Steel Masks.

The Paris Matin publishes the pic.
ture of q gentleman with something
on his :tead that at first sight looks
like a divers helmet, and at the sec.
ond like a cupola in reinforced con
crete, with a couple Of 16-inch guns
p%rotruding. What it really is, is a
French officer wearing the new iron,
or rather steel and nickel, mask, which
there is quite serious question Of
adopting for officers and noncommis-
stoned officers whose duties as OBJ
servers compel them at times to raise
their heads above the protection OF
the trenches. These "observer pro-
tectors" shield the face and neck OF
their wearers, and by a simple, but
very ingenious mechanism, the field
glasses which are fixed TO the helmet
can be focused by cords manipulated
from beneath. Thus chance of in

ly frequent in this sort of work-are

Pierre.-Now that a number of the
counties Of the state are taking UP the
tension associations under the provi-
sions of senate bill 25S. inquiries are
coming in as to the details Of distri-
button Of funds. Each association is
authorized to draw from the funds in
the state treasury, through the Smith
Lever national appropriation, and the
state appropriation, a sum equal to
60 per cent of the local funds raised
either by money appropriated by the
county commissioners, or by private
individuals or associations for such
york. One query comes as to the
manner of handling the local funds,
I'M on this the state legal department
holds that the office and travel eX-
penses of the county agent must be
taken out Of the local funds, and the
amount deposited with the state treas
ury, and not on the whole amount col
lected locally.
1t is also held that there is no fee
under the health laws OF the state
for quarantine. The law provides fees
for doctors visits and inspection. but
nothing for Quarantining a building,
and no claims for such charge can
be allowed according to the state le-
gal department opinion TO the states
