Spiders Web Yields Substitute fol
Silk.

In Madagascar experiments have
been made with spiders web as sub.
stitute for silk, says Parsons Weekly
and the results are SO encouraging that
Henri Bin expresses the hope that a
great and lucrative industry win re-
suit.
The female halabe is about two and
three quarters inches long, heavily
built, feeds on other insects and lives
in sedentary manner, There are mil
lions of these spiders in the woods
around Tananariyo.
M. Nogue, assistant director Of the
professional school there, buys them
for about eight cents apiece and puts
them to work. About four or five
times every ten days they start to
spin and continue until exhausted.
Their product is wound on spools as
fast as they spin il, and at each spin
ming 800 or 400 yards are obtained.
The threads of a dozen spiders are
twisted together, and two of these
twisted strands are again twisted so

$4,000 FOR strawberry PLANT.
Frank E. Beatty Tells How He Hap
pened to Do 1t.

Three Rivers. Mich, Dec IA, tBy the
| Associated Press Frank e, Beatty
of Three Rivers, who startled the
horticultural world by paying $4,000
in cash for the privilege Of developing
a single variety Of strawberry, admits
that he owes his present position as
one Of the acknowledged leaders in the
art of strawberry culture to fondness
for his family.
Thirty years ago Mr.. Beatty sold oil
pumps in the intermountain and Paci-
fic coast states. He resigned to come
back to Michigan and to the family, al
though his business was highly re Z
muneratiye. Interested in straw berries.
Mr. Beatty turned to their culture.
After 30 years in this business he has
this to say: 4 delight in developing or
introducing new variety of straw
berry. Whatever success have had
is due largely to the cooperation be-
tween agricultural colleges and fruit
growers.
The new variety il the sRockhill',
bred by Harley Rockhill of Conrad.
Iowa. 1t should rcvollrtionize the
strawberry industry of the world, as it
produces more and larger berries and
fruit of a higher quality in the summer
than any Of the best summer varieties.
again bear. The fruiting continues
During the fall months the plants
until snowfall and the plants do wen
in any climate.
''The plants root deeply, grow
luxuriantIy, single hill almost as large
as bushel basket, and their great
vitality and vigor enable them to
produce abundantly. The plants have
tough leaf tissues and are not affected
by any plant disease. The Roc<hill is
a direct cross of Progressive Everberer
and Early Jersey Giant"
Asked why he paid heretofore nm
heard of price for strawberry plant,
MIR. Beatty said
II wanted to establish standard OF
that / expect to result |
In greater horticultural development |
Than has resulted before, | wanted to |
awaken the public to an interest in |
horticulture and stimulate plant breed
RS to greater development. Money be- /
zones secondary consideration when
we consider the well being OF all peo-
ole.'
MIR. Beatty has introduced four 9TH |
n varieties of straw berries that have /
become standard crops in many parts
If the country. Mr.. Beatty said that |
$500 was the largest amount !
ne had paid for any one variety.
