how they are beginning to grow strawberries sue
cessfuly.
About seven years ago, Prof. 6. G. George
son. special agent Of the agricultural department. in
charge OF the Alaska experiment stations, began
pant-breeding experiments in hybridzing straw
berries with view TO developing hardy straw
berry suited TO the climate of southeastern Alaska.
BY crossing cultivated varieties of strawberry
coast region (or the wild berries grow in great pro-
fusion along the coast) Prof Georgeson produced
more than a hundred varieties which would yield
more and larger berries than either of the parent
kinds.
There are at least two varieties of the wild
Alaska berries, one growing in the coast region and
the other in the interior; both very hardy but
differing considerably. The interior species pro-
duces little round berries the size of peas. The
coast plants produce moderately large berries of
very high quality. The hybridization work has
been confined to crossing the coast species with
cultivated berries.
Here's how they do il: They take flower
from the bush of one kind of berry, perhaps male
flower with "stamens," and tie il with a muslin
strip to,the flower of a female plant of the other
kind of berry. The union produces berry from
the seeds of which come hybrid plants. There
may be hundreds of plants from the seed of the

THE American note TO Germany laid much stress
l. on the demand that American lives in merchant
vessels be not jeopardized without warning In the
Leelanaw case Germany gave ample warning, even
to the extent of permitting the crew to gather their
personal effects before being taken off by the sub.
marine.
Uncle Sam must stand upon some definite con.
tention in the submarine controversy. The TIME
for antiquities is past. If that contention be, as
the correspondence with Germany would indicate
that proper warning be given to the crew and pas
sengers of vessels sunk, then in the Leelanaw case
Germany has met our demands in full, and its act
is decidedly friendly rather than unfrendy one,
inasmuch as il evidences disposition to yield
