Strawberry Cultivation
Subject For Discussion
Preparation Of Soil Emphasized Al
Necessary For Good And
Productive Crop

One hundred and fifty strawberry
growers from Berlin vicinity as
sembled in the Globe Theater on last
Saturday afternoon to discuss the
strawberry growing for that section.
The meeting was called to order by
Hale Harrison, who after stating the
purpose of the meeting, introduced
w. F. Allen from Salisbury, one of
the largest and best known growers
of this section Of the Peninsula
Mr.. Allen emphasized the import
ance of thorough preparation before
planting the strawberry crop. He
stated that it would pay every grower
who anticipated planting a straw
berry bed, to precede this planting
with crop of cow peas or soy beans,
it would not only supply some of the
plant food necessary for the berry
crep, but aid very materially in pre-
pairing the land prior to planting. He
also stated that stable manure was
without a doubt one Of the best
sources of fertilizer, providing the
same was free from weed seeds. A
great many questions regarding va
rieties and local problems were also
asked Mr.. Allen.
County Agent Cobb was then asked
to discuss some of the demonstrations
conducted in Wicomico county with
the use of lime on Strawberries. He
stated that while Strawberries did not
require an alkali soil, demonstrations
had proven that where just enough
lime had been used to prevent the soil
being very acid, the yield was not only
greater, but the quality of fruit was
better.
County Agent Oswald spoke en-
couragingly Of the strawberry indus
try of the county and emphasized
thorougkness on small acreage rath-
or than q large acreage with lack of
attention.
In order to get. the sentiment of the
audience regarding the industry a
canvass was made of the number of
acres growers expected to plant to
strawberries in the spring. This can
vass showed an increase in planting
for the coming season of from 225 to
250 acres for that vicinity.

MILLION DOLLAR
25-YEAR SUIT

The famous million-dollar suit

cial set, against Walter. Hubbard
Bradley, Meriden manufacturer,
was ended today. The State SUI
preme Court in its final decision
filed today found Robert Bradley
had not established fraud and
Boston business men brought
against the Connecticut man.
Papers were recorded in Meri
den and Milford, releasing all
claims and attachments on real
estate and on securities owned by
Walter Bradley in various parts
of the country.
Justice Burpee wrote the opin-
ion. his associates concurring.
Ever since the sale of the
Bradley Salt Company, of War
saw. N. Y, in 1898, the suit,
which abounded in sensations, has
been carried on with undated
fury. Losing in one court after
another, the wealthy Boston So
ciety men carried the suit to still
others on appeals, claims of errors
and similar grounds.
1t appears the plant was sold
by the two men for $650,000 but
their Connecticut cousin, having
a third interest. claimed the plant
was worth .$1,OO0,000, and received
payment at that rate for his
share.

The climax of the dramatic
fight came with the arrest about

until today more than $1,000.000

Buck Indian Equals
Six Chinese In
Cafe Fight

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.--The
coefficient of resistance Of a
Cherokee Indian is six Chinese,
according to an interesting an
thropologicai formula worked
out in George Suzki's restau-
rant and expostulated before
Magistrate Sweetser in the
West Side court. The Indian
responsible for the absorbing
experiment is plain Sherman
Richardson, who, despite ais
name, says he is pure Cherokee.
1t seems that the poor Indian
became confused at the variety
of the New York cuisine. He
walked into Suzki's, which is a
Chinese restaurant, and despite
his aboriginal blood ordered
spaghetti. Furthermore, he
thought spaghetti was 10 cents
and went on the war path when
a bill for 25 was showed at him.
Then it was that it took the
six Chinese to hold him, @. E.

mark.

SAD DAYS FOR DOGS
Owners Also to Have Trouble II Com
piaint Filed Against Canine.

Fire and Police Commissioner
Wright has q scheme to abate what
he terms the dog nuisance in San
Antonio.
He issued instructions TO the police
Thursday TO file charges against the
owner where dog causes trouble.
Failing TO pay dog license" or
permitting dog to run at large
will constitute the principal basis tor
such action.
Growing poetic. Commissioner
Wright said Twas a dogs delight 10
bark and bite" but that the dog prob
lem has reached point where MANY
folk are on the verge Of prostration
as result of barking and bowling
dogs and that police were on the verge
of collapse because of continually re-
spending to dog calls" throughout
the daX and night.
Its the greatest nuisance in San
Antonio" declared the commissioner.
There are TOO many mOngrels, too
many worthless CANNES here. One
third of the telephone calls and com
plants to police are caused by dogs.
There is no law that will punish n
dog for barking or biting. but there
is a law by which the owner may BE
punished and am going to use it,"
Hereafter when complaint is filed
about vicious dog running at large,
an officer will investigate and if the
complaint is true the officer will ar
rest the owner. If bowling dog
causes complaint the OFFICER will in
vestigate and should the dog be found
minus license tag around his neck
the owner will be hailed into court.
