SETTING OUT STRAWBERRIES
August Planting Will Give Reasonably
Good Yield Next Sprng-Oats
Make Good Mulch.

Many farmers last spring were not
able to set out as many Strawberries
as they needed. 1t is not too late Vet
TO set out plants that will bear fruit
next year. August planting. although
not giving as good results as spring
planting, will yield a reasonably good
crop next spring. The plants Will not
spread much, but they may be set
closer in the row.
In some cases small planting was
made last spring. Now these SPRING
set plants are large and have formed
many runners and new plants, maxi
Ing wide and dense rows. Some of
these new plants formed this summer
may be lifted early in August and
set out to be cultivated for a new
patch. They will grow wonderfully
fast and strong with good cultivation,
and they will bear fruit next spring.
A good way, If you happen to have
small flower pots or can secure some

ners where new plants are to form.
The runners may be held directly over
the pots with sharp-forked sticks. As
soon as the new plants have made
good root growth In the submerged
small flower pots they are severed
from the runners and the pots lifted
when the new potted strawberry
plants are ready to be set out in the
permanent bed or row. Grown and
set out in this way they are sure to
live and grow right off without check,
as their roots are protected with the
ball of soil from the pot. This method
IS excellent for small planting.
On farms where straw is scarce for

artificial straw mulch can be had
cheaply by sowing oats between the

Louisiana Lad, Cantigny Hero
Rests at Home.

Mrs W. R. Brumfeld of Gloster,
Miss, sends this touching story of
a Louisiana hero in the world war
whose body has just been brought
home to Mt. Hermon, Washing
ton, Parish, La,
From across the deep comes the
body of Virgil Varnado, wrapped
in the soft folds of Old Glory.
Early in March, 1917, a fail
complected, curly headed boy, at
the tender age of eighteen years,
heard the call of his country.
He hastened to the nearest re-
cruiting station, at New Orleans,
to enlist.
His mother could not make up
her mind to give up one so fair
and young. SO she called the re-
cruiting officer over long distance
telephone, and asked that he not
be taken in, But the boys heart
was so filed with patriotism that
he hastened on to New Orleans
and enlisted.
Somehow he was put in with
the Regular Army, and went over
with the first contingent of sea.
soned soldiers, just two weeks be-.
hind General Pershing's staff.
And we all remember how they
were rushed to the front.
Virgil had special honor be-
slowed on him, for he participated
with the first division in the Bat.
tie of Cantigny-the first Ameri.
can battle.
How wonderful, how great and
how terrible it must have been
that first night, when the heavens
and the earth were brighter than
the MONDAY sun-and horrible |
But the boys were commanded
to hold, to the last man. They |
knew the location of each cellar
in the small French town, too, they
well understood it was filed with
enemy machine guns. So with
faces like flint, and fixed purpose
they held.
Be it said to their glory, only
about six of them were left the
next morning. A friend and
comrade saw Virgil's back blown
out by German "whiz- z-bang."
On that morning, just before
the battle from dugout, or some.
where. a note, a last message was
hurriedly scribbled to mother.
Oh Virgil, how proud we feel of !
you, that you went for US and
ours, for your country, and to s
save civilization. II
May your soul rest in peace in
the Great Beyond.
The body of this brave lad now
lies in the family hurying ground,
at MT. Herman, Washington :
Parish, La.-Daily States.

For the past several years Mr.. sauel
has been increasing his herd Of pure

herd ranks among the. finest in the
county among the dairymen. With
this new barn Mr. Sauer can develop
his herd even more as he will have the
facilities to care. for the cattle.

Pastor And Family:
Given FarcWellS

Rev. Alfred Breivick and family
were given two farewell dinners and
parties by the members of the Lu-
theran congregations for which Rev.
Breivik was pastor, Sunday and
Thursday of last week. T.,
Sunday week ago, the good people
of the Painted Woods neighborhood
gathered at the home Anton Same
where they all enjoyed a farewell
dinner in honor of Rev. Breivik and
fammliy. The afternoon was greatly
enjoyed by all. The only thought
that marred it at all was the thought
of the leaving of Rev., Breivik. Since
Rev. Breivik's two years stay here he
has been the pastor for the congre-
CATION in the Painted Woods neighbor-
hood and in that time he gained a
wide circle Of friends. To show their
appreciation of this friendship a purse
was taken up and presented to him
which amounted to $500. e
Another surprise and farewell din
ner and party was given Rev. Breivik
and his family Thursday evening OF
last week at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ben Johnson, where the members of
the church here at Washburn gathered
and made merry for the evening" in
spite of the. leaving Of Rev. BYeivik.
Games were played and dinner
served that would command the ap-
proyal,of anyone. Prof A. E. Thomp;
son made very appropriate speech
for the occasion. AS a last act to show
their appreciation Of the friendship
Of Rev. Breivik the circle of friends
took up a purse Of s124.oo and pre-:
sented it to him and his family. q.

WEEK TO BOOST
THE HOME PAPER

Subscribe to your home town pa
per-" '5 70. ~tl..
This is the slogan of new nation
wide movement backed by the Nation
al Editorial Association and other
agencies. .'. T..
The movement has back of it far
more than a selfish desire on the part
of newspapers to Acquire increased
circulation, for it is, in effect, a step
toward the perfect unifcation of
America by the strengthening Of ties
that bind everyone to his native soil.
The campaign is, moreover, an ex-
cellent opportunity to boost the home
town. The men and women who were
born and reared here have, some Of
them, been away for many years and
many important changes have taken
place-changes in, which they would
be greatly interested. 1t is more often
the case than not that private cores
pondence overlooks these changes,
however carefully one might attempt
to write "the news" in a letter.
The newspaper, on the otl er hand.
prints all the items of interest, large
and small, and it is the ideal medium
through which to keep in touch with
in the old home town.
In order to stimulate this movement
we are offering this week an extra
copy Of The Washburn Leader to
every subscriber. who calls or, writes
for it. This extra can be sent, with
a special subscription blank which we
will furnish, to any member of the
family who is away from home. Or,
If preferred, we will mail copy free
of charge to anyone you designate

LOW PRICED cows
AN OPPORTUNITY

In no time curing the last ten
years has the sentiment on the part
of the farmers for more and better
dairy cows been so pronounced as it
is this fall And no time in the same
space of years have the farmers had
the opportunity to buy good high grade
dairy cows SO cheaply. .psr
For these reasons it seems probable
that number of farmers in this state
will replace their low grade, low pro-
ducing cows with the higher grade,
better producing cows which can now
be bought at very low price.
1t is likely that If each farmer we're
to test the production of his cows the
average farmer would find that some
of his COWS were not producing enough
to pay feed costs. These cows are a
liability to a farmer and there can be
no reason for keeping them about, the
place and especially when they can
be replaced at very low cost with a
cow which will pay for it's feed and
also return profit to it's owner.
Few farmers dispute the fact that
eight or ten good high producing COWS
well cared for which will return a
profit each month above feed costs,
will help the farmer to put his farm
ON better paying basis. Cows. with
a few hogs, will provide a market for
corn and sweet clover, crops which
should be used in rotation to in-
prove soil conditions for a wheat crop.
A number of farmers in Mclean
county are interested in buying a few
high grade cows this fall and as the
COWS can be bought cheaper in car
lots the County Agent is making ar
rangements to assemble the orders
so that the farmers may have the adj
vantage Of buying and shipping in car
lots. Farmers who are interested in
buying few cows or replacing some
low producing COWS should get In
touch with County Agent, A. L. Nor
ling, at once.
