he considered once more the course
to take. And he had to see his
dentist, too. Across the square, re-
lieving the uniform blackness Of
the house fronts, lights we're burn

best bedroom. He wondered what
that light meant. A light at half
past three in the morning? Death?
Love? Disease? The composition
of an immortal poem? Or Just n
light forgotten by a housemaid?
In his present mood, when his
legal dryness was torn away by this
intense adventure, Britford found
himself sensitive and philosophic.

which, perhaps, nothing is happen.

With a sense of discovery he told
himself, There is no top" All the

and he wouldn't let Britford go. He
ground his teeth and thought, "I'll

listened for voices and footsteps.
He heard nothing. What were they
doing? Perhaps they hadn't all

He felt madly impatient; his
nerves were pulling him as strings

forehead persistently beat. Why
didn't they come up? He was ter
rifed and enraged. He wanted
them to come up, If only to make
an end of this strain. 1t was only
some minutes later that he remem-
bered the exactly rehearsed plan;
when four o'clock struck and not
before.
In the hall Caldecot turned to
the two men who had followed
him, one a young fellow in blue

beaked, with a yellow mustache,
like a dying and drunken Gaul.

One Of the principal reasons for the
lack of production in the commercial
varieties of sweet sherries is the
fact that many Of them are not self
pollinating. We have located and will
be able to secure quite supply of sat

the growers wish to secure buds for
the budding in of satisfactory pollin-
izing varieties. The orchardist from
whom we will be able to secure these
buds is very DESTROYS of having the
order placed in the near future as he
has many other calls and does not
want to refuse orders at such a late
date that we will be unable to Sc
cure them in other places. The buds
will cost about fifty or sixty cents
per 100 buds, if we secure enough
orders to warrant our buying quaint

MONEY FROM
STRAWBERRIES
Well Nourished Plants Give High
Yields

The practice of using commercial
fertilizer on Strawberries makes prof
liable returns possible. Successful
growers in every producing section use
fertilizer because by so doing they in
crease their profits. The kinds of
fertilizers used are not the same in
the Carolinas or Ohio as in Hood River
or on Puget Sound, but the point is
that growers in all these sections find
it pays well to fertilize their beds.
Our concern is what to use here in
Benton county.
On young beds planted in new land
without green manure crop or stable
manure being turned under before
planting, about 600 to 800 pounds of
fertilizer per acre might well be used.
This should be put on in two applica-
tions about half each time. The first
lot being put on about July first and
the second lot late in the fall or dur
ing the winter.
For the first application use any
good grade tankage slaughter house
refuse, dried and ground). This should
be applied around the plants where
the runners are to take root in order
to have them thrifty and strong.
Working the fertilizer into the ground
by hand will undoubtedly give the best
results, but any method of application
that puts it where the new runners
are to take root will give satisfaction.
This requires that it be put between
the plants in the row as well as along
each side of the row.
For the late fall or winter applica
ton, use 800 or 400 pounds per acre
as before, but this time use a COM
plete fertilizer carrying about 2 per
cent of nitrogen, 6 to per- cent of
phosphoric acid and 6 to 8 per cent of
potash. This may simply be broad
casted over the bed and left to be
washed into the soil by rain and snow
and by the spring cultivation.
For old beds use about the same
amount Of fertilizer as for young and
apply half in July and half in late
fall or winter as before, but this time
use one containing more nitrogen
(about 4 per cent? and perhaps 10

per cent of phophoric acid and 10 per
cent of potash.
For beds that have been planted in
the ground that was supplied before
hand with humus, the amount of phos-
phoric acid and potash may be re-
duced as the amount rendered avail
able from the soil by the decomposing
humus will be larger.
Where possible the nitrogen should
be in the organic form.
