WOMANS CLUB HOLD
 INTERESTING MEETING

General club meeting on Saturday last brought out the usual number of faithful club members. We use the word faithful" advisedly for out of a membership of one hundred we find as rule only about thirty-five an- swering to roll call. The Advisory Board met in short session at 2:SO and at three o'clock the President called the general meeting to order. Reports of chairmen of the different departments brought out interesting facts concerning their work. One notable report being from the Home Economics-which had turned some twenty odd dollars to the Library Board.
 Committee reports followed. As chairman of the Surgical dressings committee for relief work-Mrs. T.. E. Pollock reported her committee ready for work and ready too for contributions.
 The children's room at the Library will be turned over for this important work and from time to time, days will be devoted to it.
 The chairman of the Library Board is always listened to with great interest for the Library is the pet offspring of the Woman's Club. It is surprising for those not in direct touch with this work to know how the Library is maintained but it is all due to untiring energy on the Boards part.
 After the routine of business it was a great pleasure to listen to a most beautiful rendition of Schum- mans "Traumerei" by Mrs. w. F. Griffin, accompanied by Miss Emma Jones, on the violin. An interesting feature was the demonstration of a correctly laid table by Mrs. c. D.. Thorpe. A paper full of up to date suggestions was first read and pre- vious to the meeting a table with all its appointments was laid-very at- tractive it looked--and carried out in detail the ideas suggested in the talk.
 Later, punch and delicious cake were served by the Household depart ment. Adjournment at o'clock.

Baby pcevcs Profitable

One experiment carried on some

without the silaGe averaged S29
pounds at the end OF the 203 days and
cost $G46 hundred. The third lot
without silage and with oil meal in

Farm Garden
Strawberries Are Profitable.

Seventy-five hundred quarts of pro
grcssive evcr-bearing Strawberries tC
the acre was the record set by A. j
Brown. of Ames. on his small straw
berry plot in 1915:
During his first few years in grow
ing strawberries. DR.. Brown used the
primary commercial matted row sys
tenn. Last year he decided that the
plants were becoming too crowded. He
set off a patch 3 rows wide covering
an area Of onc-half acre. The plants
in this area he planted az feet apart
and the standard distance between
rows. This allowed for cultivation
from all sides of the plant.
Frequent civilizations were given to
keep down the weeds and preserve a
dust mulch. In July light top dress
ing of manure was applied. This fer
tilted and conserved the moisture
during the late hot months.
A close record of the yield on this
plot was kept and it was found that
plants in this area produced during the
season a yield OF ! quart per plant
or an average of 1850 quarts an acre
lie intends to plant his whole area IN
this way next year.
