Fla. Soldier in France
Says He Hopes to
Hear Good News
Of Liberty Loan

Mr.. E. Wichman, of this city, has
received the following letter from his
brother, who is with the artillery d.
vision in France:
Dear Brother and Sister: Well, how
are you? Hope you are fine and do
ing just like | am. I'm feeling fine
and fighting hard, while the meals
are the best of everything, so that !
am getting fatter all the time.
France is some country but II has
nothing on old U. s. A., especially
II 1t comes down to old Tampa Bay.
How about that?
How do you like that last big
drive? Will have another one soon
and hope to hear some good news for
a Christmas present and then I'll
come marching home amongst the
flowers Of spring We are certainly
keeping them humping now al
though it keeps us a humping. too.
But we don't mind that for the soon
er it'll be all over. The Germans
have nothing but boys from IA to IS
years and old men in the trenches
row and prisoners of these ages are
coming in by the thousands.
They say that the most of the sol
diers would let themselves be cap
tured but as they were told the Amer
leans kill every German they capture
they are afraid to do so and keen or
fighting, OF course there are many
who are disgusted and just as soon
let themselves be captured, figuring
to end 1t all.
Aeroplanes circle the afr in great
numbers and battles are going on
constantly. They will certainly have
enough of them in the States after
the war. Some day I'll take 4 ride
in one Of them and visit you.
Until that time may the Lord keen
and protect us all.
Hoping this will find you well and
happy, / remain
Your brother,
LAWRENCE.

ATTENTION TO STRAWBERRIES
December Is Proper Month to Provids
Protection for Winter, Says Col
orado Expert.

(By J. J. GARDNER, Colorado Agrioai
tural College, Fort Coillns)
December is the month in which
strawberries are usually given winter
protection. There are. several reo'
sons why this protection Is necessary'
First, to protect the plants from the
severe cold and drying winds In this
climate, and, second, to prevent In
Jury to the roots caused by freezing
and thawing throughout the winter,
and especially In early spring. The
heaving of the ground In early spring,
due to frost action, is very frequently
the cause of there being no crop that
year.
Any time after the ground Is froz-
en-, a mulch of leaves, straw, strawy
manure, chaff or any other such avail
able material should be distributed
evenly three or four inches deep over
the bed. In cases where fine straw,
chaff, or strawy manure is used, the
work may be most economically done
by using q manure-spreader strad-
ding the rows. With coarser ma
nure, hand labor will be necessary to
distribute IL.
The mulch is partially removed
from the plant rows In the spring
about blooming time, sufficient
amount being worked under the plants
to keep the berries clean during the
irulting season. 1t also assists I'm
conserving moisture.
Care should be taken not to cover
the beds too deeply nor allow the
mulch to remain on the pant rows
too long, else the plants may be smooth
cred.
