BERRIES FOR HOME GARDENS.
Strawberries and Raspberries Easy to
Grow-Take Up Little Room

The small nome gardener will find
much satisfaction in raspberries and
Strawberries. They take up little room,
are easy to grow, and produce We'll
Many prefer the red raspberries. and
OF these, Early Jure and Cutnerbert
are excellent varieties. For hardness.
Weld and good quality. however. the Co
lumbian is hard to beat. Plants should
be set out now. allowing five feet or
more between rows for cultivation A
light two-wire trellis for the support of
the canes Is excellent, and makes for
ueatness in garden effect
Of Strawberries there Is none more
popular in this section than the - How
ard IT, - This is a native strawberry
originated in Belchertown some years
ago by A B. Howard & Son. Other
varieties grown and suitable for the
home garden are Marshall. Glen Mary
and Sample The last is a pistillate
variety and needs another pollen carrier
beside it to insure n crop.
Strawberry plants also should be set
out now. They should be planted in
well-manured and fertilized land that
gave a cultured crop last year so as to
have the plot free from witch grass and
bad weeds. Plants are usually set about
two feet apart in the row with the rows
snaced three to four feet Keep the
plants well hoed throughout the season
and allow the runners to form and root.

Contract. Not Yet Signed, Is for Five
Year Term, Cost of $50 Candle Power
Lights to Be $50 Yearly Instead of
S45 as Now.
Although no contract has been signed,
an agreement has been reached between
the village and town and the Twin State
Gas & Electric Co. on terms for lighting
the streets. This is a matter which has
been hanging fire for some time, the old
contract which was for 10 years, having
expired some time ago.
The agreement is for slight increase
in cost to the town and village, affecting
only the 2J0-candle-power lamps, of
which there are y, the price of which is
increased from $40 a year to $50.
The old contract called for S0-candle-
power lights. but soon after the contract
was executed the Twin State Co put in
100-candle-power lights as the new and
improved lights did not consume any
more current than the old ones. These
lights have been used ever since
Recently the Twin State Co. asked Tor
a new contract at an increased rate,
which the village and town officers
thought was too much. Conferences We're
held, and at the last one a new contract
was agreed upon. This conference was
attended By Vice President w. y. But
trick of the Twin State Co, Man
ager w. H.. Richardson of the local
branch of the company. Village Commits
sioners Il. w. Gibson and John T. Kaine
and Selectman Freeman Scott. -
The old contract called for 35T 100
candle power lamps at $40 a year and Il
2JO-candle-power lamps at $40 a year.
The new contract Is the same except that
for the more powerful lamps the price is
raised 50 each
In the annual report of the village COM
missioners. issued few days ago, it was
said that suggestions had been made that
the village could well afford to install a
municipal distributing system, in view of
the close proximity to the Connecticut
River Power Co. plant at Vernon, but it
is doubtful if such Il plan would have
been adopted.

Lightning Protection.

IN order to put the mark of official
and scientific sanction on lightning pro-
lection methods. there was recently ap-
pointed. through the collaboration of
the bureau of standards, the weather
bureau and the American Institute Of
Electrical Engineers, committee to
prepare code and TO institute fool
proof methods and appliances for pro-
lection against lightning. There are
practical methods, practices and appH-
ances for protecting buildings against
lightning, but because of unscrupulous
agents who a score or more years ago
succeeded in selling equipment that did
not protect, virtually all methods and
equipment came into disrepute among
farmers and others.
Progress has already been made by the
committee in the solution of this prob
lem and many well-eStabliShed princi-
pies have been made known to interested
cientists and workers. 1t is hoped that
the work of this committee. declares a
hulletin cmanating from the United
States department of agriculture, will
result in developing practical methods,
practices and appliances and make farm
buildings and other structures safer.
