mulcalNc STRAWBERRIES

The object OF mulching strawbers
ries in The fall ia to prevent winter
killing
Winter killing is usually caused by
the plants dying out too much during
the winter months or by alternate
freezing and thawing.
The best mulch material 10 use is
clean straw. This Is placed on the
plants four to six inches deep after
the ground has been frozen.
In the spring after the ground is
thawed the straw Is worked around
the plants. This serves several pur-
poses. such as keeping the patch free
from weeds. conserving the moisture
and forming clean mat for the ber.
Ties to ripen on.
After the fruit has ripened the
istraw should be removed.--E. F. Nc.

CONVICT ROAD BUILDIEG
IS RECEIvlM6 SERIOUS
COLLEGE CONSIDERATION

Washington. Oct 23.-"The use of
convicts on the public roads has pass
ed through the period Of hysterical
vransle into a period of actually sue
cessful accomplishments and almost
universal acceptation." stated E. Stage
Within. whose new course In practi-
cal penal problems at Columbia Uni
versity was recently announced.
DIR. Within holds that the underiy-
ing motive in convict road build
ing must be to secure the great eff
cheney for the state out of its posses
sions. Both the convicts and the
roads are property of the state, and
the working OF convicts upon the
roads should eliminate many elements
OF waste in the administration of road
ard prison departments.
The efficiency of the convict on
the road gang he continued, "dif-
fers greatly in different gangs. There
is no doubt in my mind that the ap-
phcation Of, the efficiency records in
use at the present time in the Wis
consin road camps for free labor will
tend even more percepubly to raise
the efficiency OF convict labor.

The graduate department OF high

versity has been in close touch with
the national committee on prisons and

for the highway engineer In develop

Those deficiency penitentiary vouch-

guards and people of Canon City in
general
These vouchers, about $4,000 in
all, were for salaries and supplies
used at the penitentiary during the
last biennial period They have been
held up because it seems to be the
duty of the Auditor of State to be
sure all the appropriations for the
present biennial period can be met by
revenues in hand before any money
is paid out for debts contracted dur
ing forme administrations or biennial
periods
Mr.. Mulnix has recently been satis-
fed that he can meet all appropria-
tions. including those for deficiency
vouchers, so at the first possible time
he is issuing warrants on the State
Treasurer for their payment
All who hold these deficiency vouck-
ers should send them in or take them
TO the bank at once.
Here is a personal letter from Mr..
Mulnix which tells of his pleasure in
raying these vouchers at this time:

Guy U. Hardy.
Canon City. Colo.
My dear Mr.. Hardy: AS Au.;tor
of the State of Colorado. can think
! of no experience that has been mine
which has given me quite so much
pleasure as to be able to inform you,
as well as the $50 others who are
kclding penitentiary deficiency vouch.
ers. that we are now in a position
whereby we can issue warrants to
cover these vouchers, amounting to
practically $s5,ooo.
am sure that you understand the
situation perfectly; that this office
inherited these claims from the for
mer administration and the former
biennial period after all funds appro-
rriated for the State Penitentiary, for
the biennial period referred to. had
been exhausted, and now il is only
because OF the most rigid economy and
most constant watchfuiness and care
of all State funds that we are able to
say to YOU that we are now in e po-
sition to take care of these claims.
As you may perhaps know. we are
paving these claims out of the revenue
and the funds of the present biennial
period. and we feel justified in so do
ing because we are confident that the
revenues of the present fiscal year
will take care of them.
Since assuming this office in Janu-
airy last, there is no one class of
claims that | have given as much
attention to. with the view of devising
some way whereby we could pay
Them. as we have these penitentiary
deficiency vouchers. believing that
the people were entitled to their
money. and want to assure you that
your pleasure in receiving a warrant
for your voucher is no greater than
is mine in issuing it.
Yours very truly.

STOP EXPORTS
Government Report Says Too Much
Wheat is Being Shipped Out of
the Country.

Washington, March 22.-Warning
that the present heavy exports to
European nations of American wheat
and -four cannot be continued without
endangering the wheat supplies for
food and seeding requirements at
home, was contained to day in the de-
partment of Agriculture's agricultur-
al outlook. In the opinion of the de-
partment experts, expectation at the
same rate as during December, jan
uary and February until the coming
of the new wheat crop would encroach
upon the normal domestic needs.
Investigation has disclosed that
there was on March 1 an apparent
surplus of 100000 bushels of wheat
over the domestic requirements for
food and seed that was available for
export in the four months from
March 1 to July 1. While the exports
of wheat, including flour, during those
four months last year were 100000
bushels, it is pointed out that those
exports during December, January
and February averaged almost 3d.
100000 per month. If that rate of
export continues until the new crop
is available it will amount to 100000
900 bushels.

Most of the teachers will spend
their vacation at home.
Maud Gingery is back to school af-
ter an extended visit at Lincoln, Neb.
Spring vacation starts next week;
we pray for lots of sunshine and out

The boys are congratulating them
selves on the new gym apparatus.
Surely good use is made of it.
The arguments in Commercial Law
are very interesting and it sometimes
takes the greater part of period to
settle a question to the entire salts
faction of all.
The children and the teachers of
the grade building are wondering
when their play ground apparatus
will arrive, and when it does come we
will see real play on the school
81 ounds. This cannot be denied them.
Ben. F. Dubois gives the first ten
dollars toward the corn contest. Ov-
er forty boys have entered the con-
test and say they are going to win
part of the 500 offered by the bust
ness men of Sank Centre. This will
bring on the greatest contest ever
witnessed in our community.
The fly trap and fight the fly is
surely working a hit with the boys in
the Manual Training department. The
first hundred and then one hundred
more will complete the equipment for
thorough spring campaign. The
boys, of course, looking for the city
council to finance the undertaking.
We need volunteers from all the
