MULCHING STRAWBERRIES.
An Essential Feature For Success II
Winter Protection.

An Essential Feature For Success 10
Winter Protection.
Winter mulching of strawberries is
one of the essential features for sue
cess, for strawberries are only semi
hardy and suffer from winter injury
Just the same as clover and wheat,
writes M. N. Edgerton in the Orange
Judd Farmer. One phase Of this in
jury is caused by the heaving action of
frost on all moist soils, especially clayey
types, which tends to lift plants, tear
ing loose much Of their fbrous root
system and leaving the crown exposed
to injury. Another injury occurs when
the ground is frozen solid and the
crown and foliage are exposed to
bright winter sunshine. The thawing
and freezing of the foliage cause it to
shrivel and often result in the death
Of plants.
Snow would make an ideal covering,
but it cannot be depended upon. Even
in latitudes where snow falls in gen.
erous quantities sweeping wind often
times leaves the ground bare or so
nearly so that the first few sunny
days Of early spring leave the crowns
of the plants exposed to the INJURY.
When establishing the field of plants
advantage may be taken of the shelter
afforded by wood lots, stretches of
timber and hedges. which check the
winds, permitting the snow to remain
as it falls and holding any drifting
snow. If covering Of straw is spread
over a blanket Of snow the snow will
be out Of reach Of wind and will be
protected from the sunshine. In any
event the snow covering should be
used only as a supplementary cover
ing, even under the most favorable
conditions of sheltering belts.

Acid Phosphate and Soil Aoidity.

Contrary to common opinion that
acid phosphate increases soil acidity.
this material has not been found to
make the land more acid in field and
laboratory tests at the Ohio expert
ment station. Yields Of clover on
Wooster soils treated with acid phos'
phate were larger last season than on
soils receiving no fertilizer.
Unlimed plots to which complete fer
tilizers were applied with phosphorus
in bonemeal and basic Stag in a five
year rotation produced more clover
than soil similarly treated, except that
acid phosphate carried the phosphorus.
However, lime applied on the bone.
meal plot produced larger effects than
on the one receiving acid phosphate.
Laboratcry tests at the experiment
station have likewise indicated that
acid phosphate does not have any Inn
portant influence in increasing soil
acidity.

Since the scene or the disaster was
q thousand miles removed from the Or
binary path of vessels traversing the
Pacific, little or no hope could be enter
ta1ned Of casual rescue. In some way
or other word had to go to the outside
world. One Of the Saginaw's boats,
prepared for this perilous service, was
dispatched under Lieutenant John G.
talbot, with four seamen, to the Ha-
waiian Islands, some 1900 miles away
across wintry ocean. Upon this slen-
des thread hung the salvation of hun
dred and more men.
The difficulties, storms and dangers
encountered, the hardships and suffer-
1ngs endured, make this trip of these
gallant sailors one of the finest among
the countless epics Of the sea. Terri
Oily exhausted by privation and the
ceaseless struggle against old oceans
fury, their oars all lost in heavy
gale of wind, the boat pushed on under
sail, only to be capsized by the surf in
landing on the beach of the island Of
Kauai.
1t is related that Talbot sighted the
very last outlying rocky islet Of the
Hawaiian group. fortunately recog
nized by one Of his crew, and from
there beat up against the trade wind tc
Kauai Had he missed this islet, nc
more, in all probability, would ever
have been heard Of him, and it is
equally likely that his shipmates Oh
Ocean island might not all have sur
v1Ved until success should crown a sec.
ond attempt to communicate with civ.
nization.
In the overturning of the boat four
of its occupants were drowned, the
brave Talbot among the number. Hap.
PLY one seaman got ashore, more than
half dead, to bring Sicard's Dispatch
es to the American minister ITO the
Sandwich Islands, who at <hiE char
tered steamer and sailed the same
day to the relief Of the marooned
ships company of the Saginaw Ex-
cept for the sad ending to Talbot's mis-
sion, this wreck, however unfortunate
in itself, is splendid example Of the
resourcefulness and skill Of the Ameri-
can naval officer and SO may be re-
garded with vastly more pride than re

NAVAL DISASTERS
Their Rarity Is a Tribute to the
Skill of Our Seamen.
THE WRECK OF THE SAGINAW.

snSo ~aeaStroPne 6rou9nt Into Play tho
Wonderful Ability and Energy Of
Commander Sicard end His Officers
and crew-An Epic Of the Sea. :.
American naval officers are noted for
their efficiency, fearlessness and en-
ergy not alone in the stress and tur-
MOL Of war, hut also when emergen-
cies arise where battle with the ele-
ments may be more perilous than
would be the heaviest big gun fire of
an enemy.
Maritime disasters happily have been
rare in our naval history. Their rarity
indeed speaks volumes for the skill of
our navigators, to whom negligence or
incompetence has hardly ever been i'm.
puted. At most an overconf1dence may
be urged in one or two instances; but.
generally speaking, our naval wrecks
have been caused by violent convul-
sions of nature in her angriest mood or
from causes over which our naval CON-
manders had no control,
In the latter class was the wreck of
the United States steamship Saginaw
on Ocean island in the north Pacific
Oct. 20, 1870. This disaster was due to
faulty charts that did not show the ex-
1stence Of an outlying reef upon which
the vessel piled up in the darkness of
the night. Through the energy and
good seamanship Of its commanding of.
fcer, Lieutenant Commander Mont
gomery Sicard, who realized at once
that his ship was a total loss, every
soul was safely landed, together with
such stores and provisions as the time
permitted which elapsed between the
accident and the ships breaking up.
Without delay he organized a camp
on shore, establishing and enforcing
the strictest rules, for upon them de-
pended the lives Of all concerned. He
managed to secure boiler from the
wreck, and he converted it into dis
tiller, thus obtaining a constant sup
ply Of fresh water for drinking. It is
difficult to imagine the sufferings those
poor fellows would otherwise have un-
dergone, since there was no potable wa
ter on the island.
Recognizing the fact that his party
might be detained many weeks, if not
months, and that Ocean island was a
breeding ground for sea fowl, he at
once drew a line around his camp and
forbade any one crossing it without au-
thority, lest the birds be scared away
and the only source Of food disappear
with them.
Raids for obtaining eggs and fowls
were stealthily carried out out at night
under specific orders by selected and
carefully instructed men. In this man
-ner, rejecting great credit on Sicard's
forethought, there was never any lack
of food. such as it was.
