legislative committee on minimum
wage last week at Springfield:

all of them crave, and sell large guam
titles of those luxuries for a wage

''It is only fair to say many girls

The three systems of growing straw
berries Ere the hill system, the matted
row, and an intermediate between the
two. sometimes known as the hedge
row system. In the hill system the
plants are set in hills, one plant in
place. and no new plants are allowed
to form, according to the United
States Department of Agriculture's
Farmers Bulletin. No. 664. This makes

large. uniform berries which ripen
evenly. This is the system that Is
followed in Florida. One reason why
the hill system is used in that state
Is undoubtedly because 1t is necessary
to take advantage of as much sunlight
as possible In order to properly color
and mature the berries during the
short days of the ripening season.
The berries would be more shaded II
other systems were used, and with
the short days and the large amount
OF humidity In the air they would not
color well and many would rot on the
vines. The high cost of growing the
fruit in Florida and the heavy trans
portation charges to the northern mar
kets make 1t important to secure the
greatest possible percentage of large.
well ripened berries, and this can be
done under the hill system. The guam
tity OF berries that can be produced by
following this system is not always so
large as under the other systems, but
the quality IL much better, and the
percentage of first-class berries and
the prices received are higher than
under the other systems.
Matted Row System for Quantity.
In the matted row system the run
ners are allowed to set plants 6 to 8
inches on either side of the row. II
the belt of plants is to be as wide as
Is inches, the rows should be at least
BIZ feet apart. in order to allow room
for cultivation. A larger quantity of
berries is grown under this system
than under any other. but the fruit is
usually smaller and does not ripen as
well. The percentage Of high class
fruit is lower in matted rows than
when the hill system is followed, but
the work Of cultivation and thinning is
less than under any of the other sys-
TENS. and for that reason it is used
by most growers. Most of the grow
ers who use this system allow their

ever the soil and weather conditions
are favorable. In the southern Sec
lions of the South Atlantic and Gulf
Coast states the plants are set out in
late summer or autumn. In both cases
the crop is harvested the following
spring. In other sections of the South
the plants are set in late winter or
early spring and the crop is not har-
vested until the following year Plants
set out In the spring and not expected
to carry crop until the following
spring should have the blossoms kept
of during the summer. so that the
vigor of the plants will not be i'm
paired
Many growers use young plants
from the old beds for setting new
plantations, while others buy from
plant dealers. The first method is sat
isfactory II only strong and healthy
young plants are selected; old plants
that have produced fruit do not give
good results and should never be
used. A practice followed in many
the fields after the berries are har-
vested. in order to get a good growth
OF runners. When the young plants
reach the proper size for planting they
are taken up and set out in the new
fields. This is a good practice and
should be generally followed where
plants from the old patch are used.
Plantations that do not produce fruit
make stronger plants for setting than
those that produce both fruit and
plants.
Some varieties Of Strawberries have
both stamens and pistils (male and
female organs) and are called per
feet Powered" while others have only
pistillate (female) flowers. When
planting strawberries the grower
should give careful attention to this
point, for pistillate plants will be I'M
productive when planted alone. When
varieties with only pistillate flowers
are selected they should be planted
with perfect Powered varieties. A
common practice where imperfect va
rieties are used is to plant one row of
perfect fl6wered varieties to three or
four rows of imperfect, or pistillate.
plants. In such planting system the
pollen from the perfect flowers fer
tilizes the imperfect blossoms. When
the flowers are not properly pollinated
the result is a large number of nub-
bins or deformed berries.

JULES BOIS' TRAGIC ROMANCE

When Jules Bots, the distin-
guished man of letters Of France. was
in America last spring those who were
familiar with his life recalled the
tragic romance of his early years that
accounts for his deep interest in the
advancement of woman.
In his youth NJ Bots fell in love

turn, was bound by a marriage un-
fortunate and at the same time, I'M

woman died in reality of a broken

vowed his life to the cause Of the
emancipation of woman. 1t Is from
this standpoint that he views the war
Of the nations, concerning which he
has the idea that the outcome will
be for the woman what the revolution
was for France. II is. he says, the

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 well
stocked with plants. the old rows are
turned under and form the alleys be-
tween the new rows.
Setting the Hedoerows.
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 runners are allowed to

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 CON-
monty practiced In the southern part
Of the lower tier of southern states
with the exception of Florida. In some
cases the field is plowed after one crop
has been produced. and in others 1t
is allowed to bear for two or more
years.
In Florida the hill system gives the
best results, while in most other sec
tions 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
favor these methods, as in Florida.
