SET STRAWBERRIES EARLY
TO GET FRUIT FIRST YEAR

Early spring-as soon as you
can get into the garden-ls the
time to set "everbearing" straw
berries, or. In fact, any straw
berries. With such an early
start a larger crop of fruit can
be obtained the first year. The
plants also have opportunity to
become established and to de-
velop better root systems before
beginning to fruit. The mark
eddy different behavior Of the
lOng-seasOn varieties has led to
the development of cultural
practices differing In special de-
tails from those followed In the
production of standard sorts.
Directions for the culture of the
everbearing types, In so far as
the methods differ from ordi-
nary practices with strawber-
rles, are given in Farmers Bull
letin 901 Of the U. s. depart
ment Of agriculture.

CARTER GLASS FOR THE

1t was the good fortune OF the Presi-
dent that when MIR. McAdoo resigned
the Office OF Secretary of the Treasury,
his successor was clearly indicated by
what we may call the forces of nat

IN this ease operated with the certainty
OF those which guide the action of the
British Sovereign IN sending for the
party leader who is to form Ministry.
The country at once began TO discuss
the qualifications Of Representative
Carter Glass; the belief was general that
he would be chosen, 1t was confirmed
BY daily reports from Washington.
The appointment of Mr.. Glass as
Secretary of the Treasury, therefore,
may be said TO have received public
approval in advance. Those who are
familiar with the financial history Of
the country have already recalled his

authors of that bill proflted by the in

labors OF Nelson W Aldrich, a man to
whom the country is under obligations

PRESS COMMENT.
"SCRAPPING THE SLUM."

A shifting of concern from the new
industrial town back to the city slum
was evident at the National Council
on Housing in Boston last week. Peace
has checked the springing up of mush-
room centres, and will depopulate some
in existence. Various forces have united
to make it certain that new building
enterprises will give due attention to
modern requirements. John Nolen dis
cussed set Of recommended housing

of Industrial Housing and Transpor-
tation. A representative of the Fedora
tlon of Labor outlined definite views as
to what workers should demand in
new towns. The employers interest
In good housing was shown by delegates
between it and labor turnover. But
outlying workers may soon be stream
ing into old city quarters for employ
ment, and other factors may acceler-
ate this tendency. Ralph Adams Cram
startled his hearers by expressing fear
that Boston's new Scent transit fare

Mr.. Cram, whose paper was called
"Scrapplng the Sum-" spoke out Of
practical experience as one of those
who carried through Boston's recent
"Morton Street Improvement" BY
spending $500, 600, Boston plunged into
the heart of one OF her most congested
areas, tore down more than score Of
buildings, let sunshine into an area
without it for fifty years, and made
a much-needed playground. Boston's
City Planning Board, of which Mr.
Cram is chairman, Ia 8 meanwhile laid
plans for remaking tn whole North
End slum area by cutting new streets,
widening old ones, and eliminating the
dead interior areas of crowded blocks
by opening them to light and air. It
promises that the original character

What About Legislation?

In less than q month the Legislature
of Delaware will assemble i'll biennial
session at Dover What about legislation?
Have our people been giving any atten-
ton 10 this important matter. or Will they,
as usual. wait until the time comes and
then take chances?
At tins time il docs not appear that
there will be any demand for legislation
other than that necessary to keep the
wheels of State government moving.

for Wilmington and it Is idle 10 hope for
such 4 boon at this time, because no new
charter has been prepared and none, IN
all probability, will be IN tune for action
