HOW TO PRODUCE
GOOD STRAWBERRIES

Clemson College, S. c., Oct.-Cul-
tivation is the secert of success in
strawberry growing. 1t should be
thorough and clean. A frequent mis-
take made by many growers is allow
ing the bed to grow up in weeds af-
ter the berries are harvested. At
the end of harvest the mulch should
be removed or incorporated into the
soil, depending upon the amount and
the condition of the mulching mater
ial, and then the plants cultivated
thoroughly. Frequent shallow cult
walton should continue throughout
the summer
Ordinarily, fertilizer will not be
needed until early fall, at which time
liberal amount of commercial fer
tiliZcr or decomposed stable manure
may be applied preparatory to mulch
ing.
The plants should be grown in
narrow matted rows or by the single
crown method. Better and larger
berries are produced by the single
crown method. Plants that were
set last fall or last spring should
not be allowed to form runners or
new plants, as it is very necessary
that the growth be concentrated in
the parent plant for maximum crop
next spring.
The bed is Improbable after the
third season, and should be plowcd
up unless plants are needed for fall
planting.
Furthur information concerning
strawberry culture can be obtained
by writing the Extension Division,

WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply a few drops then lift corn. or
calluses off with fingers
no pain.

No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, without a
particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called frsezone and is
a compound of ether discovered by a
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small!
bottle of freezonc, which will cost but
a trifle, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet Of every corn or callus.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callus will loose.
and can be lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone dosen't eat ou,
the corns or calluses but shrivels them
without even irritating the surround
ing skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying it or
afterwards. If your druggist don't
have freezone have him order IL for
you.

LEMONS MAKE SKIN
WHITE, SOFT, CLEAR
Make this beauty lotion for a few
cents and see for yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard Of
lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to whiten the skin and to
BRING out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
alone is acid, therefore irrating. and
should be mixed with orchard white
this way. Strain through a fine cloth
the juice of two fresh lemons into
a bottle containing about three ounces
of orchard white, then shake well and
you have a whole quarter pint of skin
and complexion lotion at about the
cost one usually pays for small Jar
of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to
strain the lemon juice so no pulp
gets into the bottle, then this lotion
Will remain pure and fresh for
months. When applied daily to the
face, neck, arms and hands it should
help to bleach, smoother and beauti-
fy the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.

PLEASANTVILLE CONTINUES
IT'S WINNING STREAK.
Put Tuckerton on the Sliding Board
Saturday.

In last Saturdays mix-up at Tuck
erton our Pleasantville ball team
came out on top. defeating the Ocean
County cracks by 11-5. In the early
innings it didn't look a whole lot like
a ball came as far as Pleasantville
was concerned, for the up-shore lads
were leading by four runs to our boys
nothing. Culver seemed to have ev-
erything on the ball and was holding
his own until our boys shook them
selves up. Then things happened
which resulted in a victory. Pleasant
vile went at Culver in real true
wrecking style. Everybody got good
all of a sudden and pounded his deliv-
cry for a total of fourteen hits, which
resulted in eleven runs being scored.
This put the game on Pleasantville's
side of the ledger.
Young BADGER, one of our High
School pitchers, was sent in to face
Tuckerton. 1t was his first game with
the regulars and as a result he was
somewhat wild and uncertain. He
has the goods, though, which shows he
is going to be a valuable asset to our
team as soon as he settles down and
becomes better acquainted.
In the third Iron-man Dump Adams
vas sent in to stop the heavy assault
of the Tuckerton barn-burners, and
for five innings there was an awful
lot Of atmosphere disturbed. Dump
banked on his gin-ball. which seems
20 duck the bat as it passes the bat
ter. Just to show Tuckerton he is a
mighty good man on the pitching
mound, he struck out the first five men
tn faoa him fhap LOT dnv,o CO tha ract
of the Pleasantville boys could get in
the game by chasing an occasional
pop-fy.
To top off the afternoons entertain
ment Manager Risley allowed Reeves.
our shut-out artist, to tWirl the last
two innings for Pleasantville. OF the
six men to face him he also struck out
the first five. Some classy boy! It's
a good guess Dump and Reeves arc
not going to let many games slip this
season.
The boys gave an excellent example
of a good uphill GGht in this Tucker
ton game. 1t is this spirit that wins
ball games. Great credit must be
given them, as so far they have won
every game and there isn't one error
chalked against any player. Good
spirit and air-tight playing, and after
that Goodnight"
Today Saturday we have with US
the fast Indiana Field Club, of Phila-
delphia. 1t is needless to say there
will be a good game, for Indiana's
good pitcher by the name of Packey
Of the Main Line League alone makes
them a contender. Game to be play
ed at Adams Park starting at $3.50.
