CONCERNING STRAWBER-
RIES.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

Strawberries, strawberries, red ripe
lstrawberries!" is q street cry that her
aids tho advent OF spring in most east
ern American cities. The street hawk
ers' wares are boxes of berries which
have como up from the south. been dis
played in the best markets at high
prices. and then. after becoming some
what passe. are sold off to the hawker
at a fraction of their cost. He will
pick them over, deftly selecting the
sound berries and discarding the others.
and have them upon the street at an
early hour. crying them out loudly. SO
that tho housewife may have an op-
portunfty to mako strawberry short
cake at least a month earlier than If
she waited for the homegrown fruit.
tnd yet she will not have to pay a
fancy price.
The. first good domestic variety. of
strawberry produced in the Inlteu
States was raised in 1887 by c. NJ
Hovey of Boston. although before that
the wild fruit had become popular in
this country. Today tt least 5000 dis
tfnct varieties of strawberry are pro-
duced In this country. Strawberry cul-
ttvation has increased tremendously and
| Is growing each year, moro and more
acreage being devoted to the produc-
tion Of this luscious red fruit.
The estimated strawberry crop this
season will amount to fully 100000 .000
quarts which will

800, 900 Quarts. I'm ,na,s value accord Accord
ing to the last census. the strawberry
acreage of the country is 151.363 acres,
but this has been greatly increased
especially in Louisiana, Arkansas and
Texas, where it has doubled in many
localities within the last three years
The shipments of Florida strawberries
begin early in January. They are put
up In small pint boxes and retail at
so cents a pint although in some ex-
ceptional cases a dollar pint has
been received for selected, perfect ber-

the market until March. By that time
they are practically superseded by Der
ries from Louisiana, Alabama and the
Carolinas. The North Carolina berries
are an important feature of the ma
tional crop. From one town alone m
North Carolina have been shipped 2,4OO
carloads of 300 crates to the car. Each
crate contains thirty-two quarts OF
berries, which, at 10 cents a quart.
fair price for early fruit, means large
amount of money from a short-season
crop.
Little by little strawberry growers
are extending the season, SO that with
in a few years it will be possible fof
the devotees of this crimson delicacy
to obtain it every month in the year In
their home cities. rather than follow
it's course from southern Florida te
the coast of Labrador, as New YORK
yachtsman and his family had the hao-
it of doing a few years ago. The I'M
proved transportation facilities as well
as the increased cultivation OF the
fruit make 1t possible to secure 1t IN
most of the eastern cities from Janu'
ary until late in August.

LESSON FROM THE STORY
OF DAVID AND GOLIATH
Secretary Bryan's Theme in Address
at the Fourth Presbyterian
Church.

The story of David and Goliath as an
instance OF the power of God to deliver
from danger and as a lesson in pre-
William Jennings Bryan. Secretary OF
State. in his address delivered last
evening at the Fourth Presbyterian
Church. 18th and Fairmont streets. The
church was crowded and a number OF
persons were unable to gain admission.
Fit Into Present Life.
These Old Testament characters At
into life,. said Mr.. Bryan. in part, for
as we read of their frailties we are in
spired to realize that there is no real
hopelessness in the case of each one
of US. God takes frafl human beings
and remakes them. David was weak in
himself. but drew power from God. No
other story, sacred or profane, gives
such bold contrasts between truth and
error. Goliath was a type of inSolent
bigness. Too often Christians are cow
ardly instead of confronting error bold
ly. The lesson gives a story of faith
and courage and of the influence OF
circumstances upon life. Saul was
afraid to enter the contest. but he was
willing to lend his armor. David was
prepared for his opportunity. That is
the lesson Of history. out of great and
small events alike arise such epochal
opportunities. Little circumstances
shape life. Somebody present at GER
tain place, at a certain time-that
makes history. We know not what mo-
ment will be the supreme one of our
lives. Imitation cannot make men.
Faith in God and the working out of
ones individual destiny is the power
behind a really successful life.

Estimate Of Spiritual Power.

NO one can measure spiritual power.
1t is more than bone, muscle or brain.
These it grips and masters. The world
needs moral courage. The source of
this is God. Man shares this attribute
with his Maker. 1t is not so often that
supreme physical courage is needed, but
there is never a time when moral cour-
age is not necessary in daily living"
The Secretary was introduced by Rev
DR.. Joseph I. Kelly, pastor of the
church. who conducted the devotional
exercises.

Strawberries from these northern states
for the late summer trade are only be-
ginning to be recognized. This trade
will doubtless become commercially
important within a few years. After
the crop from these centers has been
exhausted, the strawberry lover may
look for the fall strawberry. This is a
new development, not yet of CONNER
cial Importance. but likely to become
so. The fall strawberry is being pro-
duced by removing the buds and blos-
some from the plants, in the spring,
with the result that they bloom sec
ond time in late summer. The first
fall strawberry was exhibited at the
Buffalo exposition in 1900. Since then
many growers have been experimenting
with it, and each year a few of these
berries are sent to the larger cities,
usually about the middle of September.
In the irrigated districts of the south
west Strawberries may be produced
practically throughout the year. This
is achieved by special methods of irri-
CATION. Around Los Angeles crop
will be brought forward in the early
spring, and then the plants will be per-
mftted to rest for several months, dur
ing which time they are scantily sup
the next crop consists in liberal irri-
CATION, together with cultivation and
fertilization. The Oregon "ever-bear-
ing" variety has given some phenom-
email crop records in number of irri-
gated states Native Mexican berries
have also been introduced with good
results in California and Arizona.
At present no strawberries are
brought across the continent. The
straw berries for the eastern cities are
all produced east of the Tooth meridian
1t is claimed that the cost of shipment
will never make it profitable to at
tempt to sell western berries in the
east Notwithstanding the fact that GER
tain epicures claim the western berry
has peculiar flavor, distinctly differ
ent from that of the eastern fruit.

ed shortcake is hard to obtain, and a
modern writer facetiously claims that
the present social unrest. so much in
evidence in Americans of this genera
tfon, Is due chiefly to the decadence of
the strawberry shortcake and the sub
stitution of soggy yellow sponge cake
in which two or three half-ripe berries
are lost in a lavish decoration of
sticky, sweet icing.
Why the average restaurant prefers
to serve this yellow sweet cake instead
of the biscuit dough, which is the legi-
innate foundation for the true straw
berry shortcake. is a question which
many a hungry business man has asked
of the mana ger of his lunch counter in
vain. A few years ago Il small restau-
rant opened up in Philadelphia one
spring, and boldly announced that it
would serve it's patrons with the real
straw berry shortcake such as mother
used to bake" 1t was nearly swamped
with customers. Men and women from
all parts of the city thronged the place,
and if only the strawberry season had
been longer the proprietor might have
retired a bloated bondholder. But after
the Strawberries were exhausted. he
could supply no attraction to equal his
shortcake, so his business was short
lived.

COTTON SHOULD BE
 MARKETED SLOWLY
Rush To Sell Would Immediate ly Force Prices Down, Says Banker Hirsch.-ShOuld not Dump Cotton on Market.

San Antonio Tex, Sept. 30.-Farm- CTS of Texas and of the South should market their cotton gradually. If it Is worth F cents pound today, they should see that it remains at this price or goes higher. They should not dump all of their cotton on the market at this time and thereby cause slump in the price.
 This advice was given here today by Joseph Hirsch of Corpus Christi, pres ident of the Texas Bankers Associa- tion, president of the Cotton States Bankers Conference and a member of the Agricultural Committee of the American Bankers Association.
 MT. Hirsch does not advise farmers to refuse to take advantage of the prevailing high price, but urges that they use sound judgement in market ing the crop. He says a great rush by the farmers all over the South to dispose of their cotton at the present market price would send the market down in a rush and this despite the fact that the crop will be only between 11,000,000 and 12,000,0O0 bales.
