makes them especially valuable for sec

which often destroy the crop in ordi-
nary sorts.
Bear Fruit Almost Continuously
1t is explained that the new everbear-
ing sorts, which are sometimes con-
fused with other varieties showing abb
normal behavior. differ in that they
bear fruit under favorable condltlons
more or less continuously from the sea-
son Of the ordinary varieties until frost.
Certain varieties of the everbearing
type which have been set for a year
bear a fair crop during the regular
strawberry season. For the period i'm
mediately after this early summer crop
the amount of fruit obtained is small.
In August, September, and October it
becomes larger. and under favorable
conditions the late summer and autumn
yield may equal or exceed the early
summer crop. They are not we'll
ADAPTED to sections having long
droughts except when irrigation can
be supplied.
Plants of the everbearing varieties
should be set at the same time as those
of other varieties-as soon as the
ground is in condition in the spring.
Growers Of the Progressive and Ameri-
Gus varieties, which have rather small
fruit agree that a more fertile soil is
required for them than for the ordinary
sorts. III order to increase their size
Another reason for the need of a fer
the soil is that this type of strawberry
requires a larger supply of moisture
than do the sorts which produce only
plant growth after the early summer
fruit crop.

terror. presents information regarding
so domes and anticlnes in this region.
Besides the Greybull. Torchlight, and
Grass Creek anticlineS which are al
ready sufficiently developed to con
tribute largely TO the production of oil
in Wyoming, there are several other
domes and aniclineS in which oil or
gas has been struck but which are not
sufficiently drilled to indicate their val

ticlines described have already proved
TO be productive, and about as many
more anticlines have been tested by
one to four holes, though some of the
holes have not been theoretically well
located. 1t must be borne in mind
that oil development in Wyoming is
still in very early stage, and that
drilling has not yet covered enough
ground to indicate the probable pro-
ductivity Of all the anticines
The probability that the remaining
anticlines and domes described in this
report may contain oil or gas has been
carefully considered by the authors.

ENEMY AIR RAIDERS

But Miss Their Tar
gets

With the American Army in France,
Jan. 15.-(By the Associated Press Enc
my air raiders are showing an increased
interest in the American aviation centers
especially those nearest the lines During
one Of the most recent incursions the
German airplanes descended within 2sy
feet OF the ground, endeavoring to make
sure that the several bombs which they
dropped should hit their targets, which IN
most cases were buildings in which men
were billeted. Luckily the German aim
even at such close range was poor, for no
Americans were killed
Bomb Misses Hangar
Another German machine which flew
over the position later dropped a bomb
from a higher altitude at hangar. The
bomb missed its marx but dug a great
hole in the adjoining field.
At a certain place nearby an enemy
SQUADRON descended within 800 feet of the
earth and sprayed an anti-aircraft ma
chine gun position with hail of bullets
but did not hit any of the gunners, all
of whom were French.
The Americans are the most advanced
aViati0ns camps and have found a novel
mounting for the machine guns used for
defense against enemy airplanes. When
the guns for the newly dug pits arrived
it was discovered that only field carriages
had been provided. These were unsuitable
for aircraft defense work. SO swivels were
constructed from old motor truck springs
These improvised mounts are said to be
as good as any used
