Waiter Tells Experiences n France
Natchez.-vtctor Paul, native of In
dia, and British subject, has no desire
whatever to return to the scene Of the
world strife. He says the act that he
is alive is due entirely to his sprint
ing ability. In speaking of his expe-
rience he said:

payne, where there were many others
of different n~ationalities. One day we
heard sounds like thunder rolling in

went eight miles further, arriving at
the lines OF the French, where an Eng

Paul obtained passage On a mule ship
to New Orleans and came from there

found in his pocket that he was broke,

fields tt bear for two or more years,
and in order to renew the patch they
often cultivate the middles and induce
new runner plants to take possession
of them. After the middles are we'll
stocked with plants. the old rows are
turned under and form the alleys be-
tween the new rows
Setting the Hedaerows.
The hedgerow system is interme-
date between the hill and the matted
row systems, and has some of the ad-
vantages OF both. In the hedgerow
system the n are allowed to
form plants along the row in a strip
q few inches wide. After this strip is
we'll stocked with plants the runners
are cut of. The advantage of this
over the matted row system Is that
more air and sunlight reach the fruit,
resulting In larger and more uniform
berries. More berries are produced by
using the hedgerow than by the hill
system. This is the system most COM
monty practiced in the southern part
of the lower tier of southern states
with the exception OF. Florida. In some
cases tue IcIu 10 pAOWSu o4ISI Quo CIOp
has been produced. and in others 1t
is allowed to bear for two or morn
years.
In Florida the hill system gives the
best results, while In most other sec
lions either the hedgerow or matted
row system Is preferred. Where large
berries with the best table qualities
are more important than heavy yields,
the hill system should be used. In
most commercial paintings a heavy
yield is Of prime Importance, and the
hedgerow or matted row system
should then be employed. except where
climatic and other conditions do not

In selecting DR.. Dudley Jones, OF
BrOokhaven, to succeed DR.. Valley,
the members of the board. of health
are satisfied that they have secured
one of the most competent medical

was the resignation of DR.. c. E. Catch.
ings as a member of the board from
the Seventh district, upon his election
as health officer for Wilkinson county.
This action followed his resignation
of the presidency on sthe first day of
the meeting, which was prompted by
professional and business reasons, and
as this will probably be the last meet
ing Of the state board until the fall,
it Is believed that no material inter.
ests will suffer by aso of the
change.
Just before the adjournment Of the
board DR.. Catchings gave notice OF
his resignation, which he later trans.
mitted to the governor, which was &C.
cepted, and DR.. ]. H. Johnson OF
Brookhaven was appointed as the
Seventh district member.
DR.. Galloway, executive secretary,
announced the following appointees
as health officers for the Seventh dis.
trict, which completes the list through
out the state:
