GOOD HINTS ON STRAWBERRY
Most Profitable Varieties are Those
Not Influenced by Differences in
Soil and Climate.

Professor Lazenby gives the follow.
ing summary Of essential points to be
kept in mind:
The most profitable varieties for the
commercial grower are those not cas-:
iiy influenced by differences Of soil
and climate. Those which succeed
well on wide areas are usually better
than those which have mere local
reputation.
Pistillate varieties when properly
fertilized are more productive than
the sorts with perfect flowers.
The value Of a variety for fertiazlng
pistillate flowers does not depend so
much upon the amount as upon the
potency Of the pollen.
- The flowers of pistillate varieties
are less liable to be injured by frost
than the flowers Of perfect varieties.
Varieties that are neither very ear.
ly nor very late In point Of maturity

TO STUDY VITAL PROBLEMS
Southern comme. ii Congress Is
Called to Meet in Norfolk Decer1-
Der 11-14, by e. j. Watson.

Columbia.-E. j. Watson, president
Of the National Association Of Com
missioners of Agriculture, has called
a general conference of the members
to be held in Norfolk, December IL
IA, during the convention Of the

Mr.. Watson, in making the call,
said to the members:
Il have the pleasure to announce
to you that the Southern Commercial
congress. which is to hold its eighth
annual convention in the city of Nor
folk, Va, on December lila, has sug-
gested to our association the advisa-
bility of holding a conference OF the
members of our association at Nor
folk during this convention.
1T is the purpose Of the gathering
in Norfolk to devote its sessions to
the practical consideration of vital
questions relating to agriculture and
education, and the industries, to COM
merce, and most particularly to an in
terpretation of the relation Of the
United States economically to interna-
tional reconstruction and readjust-
ment, following the close Of the world
war. 1t is the general purpose to re.
view existing conditions as brought
about by the world war situation and
10 endeavor to outline a program that
will meet the demands of the future.
The suggestion having appealed to
me most strongly particularly in view
O fthe fact that present day conditions
are thoroughly abnormal, and read
justments will be forced, I have deem
ed it wise and timely that such an in
formal conference Re held. While
this is not intended to call a regular
meeting Of our association, / do here
by call a general conference of the
members of our association, for the
purpose Of discussing these things
among ourselves, and participating in
the general sessions dealing with the
general subject. In doing so, l wish
to earnestly impress the hoCc t-.,t
each one of you will make every pos
sible enGeayor to be in Norfolk in at
tendance upon this general conference,
which will be held on the afternoon
OF December II, and also of partlci-
pating in the general sessions cover

Lost Liners.

f seems incredible that a ship could
utterly vanish, but that such an oc-
eurrence is possible is shown by the
long list of liners that have been lost
with all hands in the wide Atlantic.
There was the President, with 1876
souls on board, which utterly vanished
in 1s41; then the City of Glasgow,
with her $50 passengers and crew,
which disappeared without trace In
1874. and two years later the Pacific,

aboard and was nevermore heard Oh.
