strawberries to your garden and
thereby earned the undying graft
tude of your family and maybe added
a new source of welcome income to
your pocket book.
1t is a comparatively easy matter
to start a bed if you have a good
sunny spot in your garden where
the suitation is open and airy.
How To Make Sure OF Success
Two requirements are necessary
for a successful bed-deep soil and
thorough drainage. You must al
ways have your ground well prepar-
ed, that is, plowed unusually deep
and finely raked or narrowed to get
it into a fine condition. Add to the
soil plenty of fine well rotted ma
nure, or where you haven't suffi
cient manure add a commercial fer
tilizer; the best for this purpose is
ground bone and muriate Of potash.
Apply a light dressing of nitrate
Of soda to the plants just after set
ting and soon after the blossoms op-
en- in the spring.
Before setting out your new plants
get them into good planting shape
by trimming off all dead, broken or
large leaves, and also by trimming
back the roots about one half. This
Will give you good sturdy plant
that Will set" nicely.
The Job Of actually Getting out
the new plant in the soil is one of
the most important Of all in starting
your new berry bed The best time
i'll which TO set your plants is on a
cloudy day or late in the afternoon.
Do not cover up the crown of the
plant. Set the plant in the soil only
deep enough TO we'll cover all the
roots. Set them in extra firmly press
ing down each side Of the newly set
plant with the balls Of the feet
The plants may be set out in rows
about a foot apart and there may be
four or five in bed All runners
are pinched Off from the plant as
soon as they start and the ground
should be kept well hoed and culti-
waited between the rows and hills.
The frequent and thorough culti-
yation must never be neglected if
you wish to receive your reward in
the very largest, reddest and most
delicious berries that 'have ever
come your way. Farm & Fire

In a recent conversation with a
member of the Morgan county fair
BOARD, we learn they will take the
horse barn for cattle and build a
smaller barn for horses. In looking
over the horses of our township
which are above the average we nnd
that close to go per cent of the
horses are in the plug class, ana II a
farmer asks the cost OF raising tor q
first class drafter, folks look at MN
like they think him crazy. Where
are we coming to? While we are at
it we might add that we hear quite a
bit of talk about the races. some
say that unless the board hXGS the
track and brings in race horses, IN
stead Of allowing local owners 10
decide the race 1T stables and dl-
vide the purses, they are done.
Maybe they can fool them again TINS
year though Why not the far
beard and representatives CT the
oranges of the county set together
and make a fair to be proud OF? we
will ha there if aHle anyway. Tut
feel as a rule it is not a farmers
fair. but a place concessions, stands
and hawkers reap a harvest. NOW
don't hmm and shout that the
/ Meigs scribe has it in for the board.
Every man on the board IS a 1rlend
of ours. The only difference be
tween some folks and some folks Is
that some folks wait till they get to
the fair and then cuss because
! things are not different.

Fresh Strawberries Until snow Flies

Fresh Strawberries Until snow EheS
You can never have too many
strawberries! The usual strawberry
season always seems to be too short.
We eat our fill of the delicious fruit
served with cream, try to satisfy
ravenous family with enough short
caEe-and by the time we start pre-
/ serving and canning, the season alb
i ruptly ends and our preserving with
it,
Even where we are lucky enough
or thrifty enough to have straw.
/ berry patch of our own, we never
seem to get enough from it during
/ the season to satisfy our strawberry
appetites and at the same time to
store enough away on the pantry
! shelves for our winter needs.
But this state Of affairs is really
very unnecessary for were we only
wiser in choosing the varieties of
berries which we set out in our beds
we could procure plenty of the finest
and most delicious fruit for our
needs in spring and midsummer,
and even enough and to spare for
fall use right up until the time the
plants are overtaken by the frost.
1t merely requires little extra
care and forethought in the matter
Of choosing and planting just the
right varieties to bring the possi-
bilities of the strawberry festival"
to our household and community
through spring, summer and au-
tumn
There are some strawberry plants
that bear extra early, at the end of
April or beginning of May-still
others that are in their prime in
July and August-while of recent
years a new type has been placed on
the market called the "Eyerbear-
ing" that produces crops of berries
until snow time. 1t is possible to
get crop from the "Everbearing
and fall, but allowing the plants
to bear continuously in this manner
does not procure the very best ber-
ries. To obtain the very finest of
fruit it is better to keep nipping the
blossoms off the "Everbearing" va
rieties through the regular straw
berry season, and let the plants
come into full bearing in the fall
months BY doing this you can get
great juicy plump berries from the
plants, bigger ones than they would
produce if they were allowed to bear
all summer long,
1t is the best plan therefore to
grow the "Everbearine" sorts for
your fall crop and to set other va
rieties in your bed for producing
your early summer yield.
Early Ozark is a fine early va
riety, or Early Jersey Giant For

are Lupton, Fendall, and Chesa-

the "Everbearing" varieties
If you have never even started a
berry patch do not let this spring
pass you by before you have added
