HOMES OF THE STRAWBERRY
Eight Districts of the Country in
Which the SuccuIent Fruit Is
an important Crop.

A survey of the production and mar
keting of strawberries in the United
States made by the department of az
riculture indicates that the eight most
important commercial strawberry dis
tricts are central California, Tennes-
see. Maryland, Delaware, southern
Louisiana, North and South Carolina,
Virginia and the Ozarks.
Great quantities of strawberries, the
report says. are also grown in the
North in small patches and shipped
to market by trolley, express or in the
producers own wagon.
The first strawberries OF the year
come from central Florida, tie move
ment beginning In December and con-
tinuing until the end of March. BY
the first of March the first sfrawbe
ries from southern Texas and south
ern California find their way TO the
market. About the middle of March
the Louisiana crop begins TO move,
continuing about two months or until
the middle of May.
By that time the season Of carload
shipments is at its height. The greater
part of the Tennessee and virginia
crop is shipped in May, as well as
much of the Delaware. Illinois and
Maryland output.-Good HousalSeep

GOT HIS SPENDING MONEY"
Humorous Incident in the Early ca.
reer Of the Late Comedian, Col
Smith RUSSELL.

When q boy Sol Smith Russell who
later rose to eminence as comedian
and to high material fortune through
combination of large earnings and
ingenious frugaiity, was employed as
member of the celebrated Peak
Family Of Bell Ringers sHe was billed
as Master Solly. His turn was bal
lad singing, and it was stipulated that
he was to receive no compensation
other than board and lodging until ex-
perience should make him more af-
fiFmatively valuable to the organiza.
ton.
When the second season was nearly
at an end Master Solly suddenly was
struck with an idea that he ought to
have some kind of remuneration for
his work, since he was featured" and
really the best drawing card Peak
could boast. So. plucking up courage,
he accosted Peak In these words:
"Mr Peak, have been with you
nearly two years and in all that time
you have paid me nothing for my
work. ! don't ask for much, but you
can afford TO give ne little spending
money every week-just enough to get
along on
Bill looked at him in sorrow, not to
say amazement. How much do you
want, Solly?' he managed to gasp
''Oh, guess about five dollars a
week
The demand almost sent Peak into
commissions: but he rallied. and in a
tone OF melancholy resignation, he
said:
Very we'll. Solly. am your friend
will give You the FIVE dollars: but for
Gods sake don't tell my wife,"
