The strawberry IL cultivated com
mercially to the mediterranean paEtI
OF the United States, in a great var
iety OF soils, the moisture supply be
ing the principal factor in limiting the
range Of profitable production.
AS truckers crop it is most i'm
portant in Tennessee, Louisiana and
Arkansas, Tennessee shipping more
strawberries in carload lots than any
state in the Union.
The refrigerator car and the ex-
press have elaborated latitudinal
lines. and fresh, ield-grown strawber.
ries may be had in our large cities
from January to August, Florida sup
plying the earliest fruits, and the rip.
snins period moving northward with
the season.
West Tennessee is a little earlier
than East Tennessee, tho the crops OF
these sections overlap, competing in
the northern market. Tennessee's
principal competitors are Arkansas,
Kentucky and the Norfolk and Cape
Charles regions OF Virginia.
The strawberry succeeds in a great
variety of soils, but everywhere it
does best In a soil rich in vegetable
matter. The silt soils OF West Ten
nessee, the bluegrass limestone soils
Of the central basin, and the muliato
lands and the dolomite ridges of the
Eastern section of the state all pro-
ducs splendid crops Of strawberries.
The highland rim soils and the sandy
soils of the Cumberland Plateau are
less favorable, but even here an
abundant crop is easily grown.
New land presents the most favor
able conditions, not only because of
its food supply, but because OF it's
freedom from weeds and the weed
grasses. The best preparation Of old
hand for strawberries is to I'LL the soil
With humus by blowing under green
crops. II the land Is very poor sever
al years will be needed to fit It to
produce bumper crops. Rye, plowed
under when about foot high, may be
followed by cowpeas, the seed to be
hand picked and the plants then plow-
cd under Or the peas can be turned
under In August followed by crimson
clover to be slightly pastured during
the winter and plowed In when in
bloom. A crop Of sorghum for hay, !
cut early, would then yield heavy az
termath, to be plowed under with sub
soiler following the turning plow in
late autumn. A crop Of early pota-
toes, to be dug in July, would per-
nit following crop of crimson clover
which could be plowed under in late
March and strawberries would then be
planted early in April.
Few growers attempt such previous
preparation as is here indicated, but
II these crops are each given an
application of acid phosphate, two
hundred to three hundred pounds per
,cre, the resultant yield of strawber-
les would approximate three hundred
rates per acre, instead of a crop Of
,ne hundred crates, which is above
he average for Tenpcssee.-C. A.

He taught me by word and example
To follow the path Christ trod.
He often tried to-...show me, 80 -- :.
A true disciple to be,

That were verv dear to me.
He asked me to read the Bible :.
A thing l did not heed,
And to seek to follow its teachings. a..
Instead of some dOctrinal..creed.
It sometimes brings a sadness
When l think of the life he-lived,then
To get us children to see the need
OF being horn again.
He taught me, too, how Jesus,
Came to be light to men,
But few have ever allowed,
That light to enter in.
He often spoke of how little,
We valued Gods mercy and love.
Then he'd talk of things.eternal,
And the joys of heaven above.
He often prayed that us children,
Both morning and..at night,
Might live to see the need, -
OF walking in that light.
I've heard him reading John fifteen,
OF Jesus. the true..vine,
And of its fruitful branches
l wish that joy was mine.
Jesus said if we would be fruitful
We must abide in him,
And then my father turned and sang.
That loyal, faithful hymn,
"Oh, Jesus, l have promised,
To serve Thee to the end,
Be Thou forever near me,
My Master and my friend

And every false way,

Than twas in Jesus day.

But judging from their daily walks,
The devil is their lord.
Jesus said to all men,
"If thou would st my disciple be,
Deny myself. take up thy cross.
And humbly follow me-"

Not all who cast out devils
Nor prophecy in His name,
Will enter the kingdom of heaven.

Some start to follow Jesus,
And heed what they have heard,
But the lusts Of the flesh,

London, Feb. 20.-For the third time

London. No casualties or damage

An official statement says:
Hostile aircraft crossed the coast

London Growing Indifferent.
London is growing Indifferent to air
raids. On both Saturday and Sunday
nights, when the bright moon caused
the people of the metropolis to be-
lieve that beyond peradventure an ae-
rial attack would be made on the cap
ital, the people went about their bust
ness and their pleasures as usual.
Nothing out of the ordinary happened

the theaters although the guntire
could be plainly heard. Sunday night
the big restaurants were filled with
diners, who calmly finished their
meals and then quietly waited for
the "all clear" signal to be given, al
ter which they returned to their
homes.
Large numbers of persons still take
shelter in the subways and other
places, which are better able to re-
sist bombs than their flimsily built
houses, but in the more substantially
constructed hotels and residences the
people remain indoors, listening to
the gunfire and the bursting of bombs.

SUGGEST PEACE
WITH AMERICA
Two German Newspapers See
Chance To Split Allies BY
Treating With U. S.
PRAISE WILSON POLICY
President Admitted To Be Right In
Many Points And At Variance
With Aliies-Wou!d Con-
tinue Discussions.

Washington, Feb. 20-The Neuste
Post, two of the largest newspapers
in South germany, interpret Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson's address
to congress last, week, as showing
desire to continue public peace dis
cussions. Editorials from issues of
those papers of February IS received
here by cable and made public by the
committee on public information, urge
the statesmen of the Teuton powers
to endeavor to come to an under
standing with the United States.
The Neuste Nachrichten says:
'The Presidents speech shows a
clear desire to continue the public
discussion between Washington and
Germany.
See Wilson Different.
1T is important to observe how
greatly Wilson differs in tone and
substance from the declarations OF
other Allied statesmen Today it is
easily understood why America is
not politically represented at Yer
sailles. 1t is because Wilson's pres
ent policy is not the policy Of Gle
menceau and Lloyd George. :.
at should not be difficult for Hert-
ling and Czernin, by defining more
closely their former declarations, to
come to an agreement in principle
with Wilson. But the latter should
also see the justice of applying this
beautiful principle to the Allies.
Altogether, Wilson shows himself
as the only opponent with whom dis
cussion is possible. Therefore, it is
the duty Of German statesmen to Sc
cure the greatest possible benefit from
this discussion.
Admit President Right.
"If agreement with America can
succeed before it's war machine as
sumes irresistible momentum, the
whole Ally combination would be un-
hinged.
Wilson's reply to Hertling and
Czernin shows the strong desire for a
general peace" says the Muenchener
Post. ct must be admitted that the
President is entirely right in many
points of his solemic against Hert-
ling. The latter spoke, but formulat-
ed no positive program.
"The President places himself on
the basis of the Reichstag resolution
in July, and thus a general peace and
reconciliation becomes possible. This
newspaper expects the chancellor to
build now binding bridge to Amer
ica"
