the plants are set the proper depth

roots is satisfactory.
The roots Of the plant should be
cut back about one-half before setting
Care must be taken to see that the
crown or growing bud of the plant IL
placed at the proper depth. If planted

Strawberry Culture


The necessity Of such crop and the
adaptability of strawberries to the
soils of the hill sections of Randolph
county have prompted me to write this
article that it may benefit some farm
ers who have or contemplate having a
strawberry crop.
The strawberry ranks first in the
list of small fruits. In many sections
of this state the strawberry has long
been source of income on many
farms. White county, one of our neigh
Dor counties, leads in the production
of strawberries in the state. Those
of you who have been to Searcy, Bald
Knob or Beebe know something of the
strawberry industry in that section.
Every farm in Randolph county
should have small patch of straw,
berries and especially those farms in
the hill section. The farmer, however,
should consider several. things before
he grows this crop, commercially and
the market should be studied with a
view TO finding how and where to
market the crop when ready. The har-
vest time and the varieties grown in
other sections should be studied, so
that in so far as possible no competi-
tion in the market will be encountered.
Don't plant more than can be properly
harvested and marketed and do not
plant too large an acreage especially
the first year
Location And Soil
Most varieties of strawberries can be
grown on ordinary soils suitable for
other crops. Light sandy or gravelly
loans are preferable. New lands pro-
duce good yields because of the abun-
dant supply Of organic matter. Most
soils however with the proper fertiliza-
tion may be made to produce good
crops. A light sandy soil with a south
ern exposure will produce early fruit
while heavy, moist soil, with north
ern exposure will retard early matur-
ity. Low lands should never be plant
ed to strawberries as they are more
liable to frost injury than higher
ground with good drainage.
Preparation of the Soil
Plow the land to be planted TO straw
berries in the fall if possible. On soil
that is apt TO wash, cover crop
should be sowed to keep the soil from
washing and to be turned under in the
spring before setting the plants. Pre-
pare the land at least week before

 'I wish you'd see a doctor, Mort" I said at one of these times.
 What would I see doctor for?"
 You are terribly nervous-jumpy. I wish you would go and see Dr. Lee in the morning. One would think you ex- pected something to happen and that you were-afraid."
 He gave me one quick searching glance, then turned away, saying You don't go out enough, Stella. One gets notional sitting in the house as you do."

Little Stories For Bedtime
By TMoRNToN W. BuRaEi
Buster eBar Waits In Vain Patience, be you young or old, Brings its own reward, we're told.

DUSTHR BEAR doesn't believe it. n He doesn't see it that way at all.
 He is willing to admit that it does sometimes, but not always. No, in deed, not always! Perhaps that is be- cause the reward isn't always what Buster wants it to be. You know how it is when we set our heartsSon thing an dthen don't get it. The disappoint- ment makes us overlook some of the good things we do get. suspect that it was this way with Buster Bear that day when he discovered Busy Bee in the Green Forest.
 Buster had heard the hum of Busy Bee and then had discovered her at work among some flowers in a little opening among the trees right back of where he was sitting. Then she flew away. Now the sight and the sound of Busy Bee had awakened pleasant thoughts in Buster Bear---thoughts of honey.\ Can you imagine any sweeter thoughts? Buster knows great deal about Busy Bee. Ever since he was a little cub he has been interested in Busy Bee. I am afraid it has been a selfish interest, but none the less it has been real interest. It has led him to find out a very great deal about Busy Bee. He knows that Busy Bee makes honey. He knows that she gath CTS the sweets from the flowers of the Green Meadows and the Green Forest and that in a secret storehouse she packs these sweets away in the form of honey. He knows that sometimes this secret storehouse is in hollow tree, sometimes in a hollow log, and some times even in a cave among the rocks. He knows that Busy Bee never wastes any time, not a single minute, but from morning till night is at work gathering the sweets of the flowers and making them into honey. He knows, too, that she isn't a safe person to in- terfere with, that she carries the sharp est of little lances with her all the time, and little as she is isn't the least bit afraid to use it on even such big fellow as he is. Yes, indeed, Buster Bear knows great deal about Busy Bee.
 When she flew away from those flow CTS in the little opening among the trees in the Green Forest, she went

 they were very pleasant dreams. They were sweet dreams, the very sweetst of dreams, for they were all of honey. He dreamed of great hollow tree and that he had climbed it and with his great strong claws had torn it open and found more honey than he could eat all at once, and Buster can eat a great deal.- He smacked his lips quite as if the honey were real, and not just dream honey.
 i. So Buster smt and dreamed and watched the flowers and waited for Busy Bee to return. He waited and waited. He was very patient, was Bus ter Bear. With such pleasant dreams 1t wasn't hard to be patient. You see, he felt that patience might make those dreams come true. When Busy

Bee should come back for more sweets he would follow her straight to her se- cret storehouse. So he waited and waited.
 The Jolly Little Sunbeams were very comforting and pleasant. 1t was very, very still and beautiful there. His stom- ach was reasonably full.t- Altogether Buster Bear was very, very comfort able. He blinked at the flowers. He nodded. Presently he lay down, and then-well, then those sweet day dreams became still ssweeter sleep dreams. Yes, sir, Buster Bear fell asleep. And while he slept Busy Bee returned and went away again, not once, but several times. The Black Shadows had begun to creep through out the Green Forest when at last Bus ter opened his eyes.

Without further argument the girl turned away. Goodnight !" she said.
 Goodnight" Roscoe rejoined. Think seriously of what I have said"
 Think seriously! !" She repeated the two words softly to herself as she hur- ried towards her Lexington avenue lodg- ing. Did she ever think in any other way nowadays? Today the outlook seemed darker than ever. She had a good position, but she doubted if she could retain it unless she sacrificed principle to policy. She could not af- ford to antagonize her employer. For she must make money.
 Lois wrote to her only once a week, but every letter mentioned the fact that 1 she was economizing as much as pOs- sible-for- prices were high. She also said that, while her fathers coAdition remained unchanged, she was always anxious about him.
 So was Marian-terribly anxious about him and about her own success. Failure meant that her beloved par ent would suffer.
 She sighed wearily as she entered her little room. ,~On her bureau was an envelope addressed to her in Frederic Parker's hand. Eagerly she opened it. She hoped for a word of encouragement from him.
 Instead the envelope contained an engraved invitation to an art exhibition in a club on lower Fifth avenue. At the top of the invitation Parker had written-"I hope you may be able to attend this. Perhaps you can make time for it Sunday afternoon"
 Yes, she might go tomorrow. Sun day afternoon. Her inherited conscience did not protest against her looking at pictures on Sunday.
 She wondered if, by any chance Parker would be there. She longed to see him. She remembered that he had spoken of another card up his sleeve, in case she did not make good at Roscoe's.
 But she could not put herself under more obligations to this man. She must not admit to him that she was not satisfied with her present position, then

 was spending the afternoon with me and sudden silence had fall en between us. I was conscious that she was watching me intently in her half grave, half serious but wholly un- sympathetic way. ''ls it anything you can tell me? ?"
 "Why do you think am troubled ?" parried.
 'i He who runs may read" she quoted, "and you haven't been yourself for some time. There is an anxious look in your eyes when you think no one is looking at you. Is it Lucile?"
 T guess I am a fussy old hen about her, Dorian, but am worried. know she tells the truth when she says the other girls go and do as she does, yet 1 cant understand the way girls now adays have taken things into their own hands. Fathers and mothers used to be obeyed, but now all authority seems to have vanished. Lucille says I am an old fOgy,' and perhaps I am. But drinking, betting parties staying out nights without chaperon-to what will it lead? NLueile says she can take care of herself-perhaps she can. But can they all? And are fathers and mothers just careless? Done see the danger, or are they like me, helpless ?''
 T think you can trust Lucille, Stella. Girls seem to be made of different stuff than we were and are more capable of handling themselves. What they dc looks silly to us, but perhaps what we did looked just as foolish to older peo. pie when we were young. When boys made love to us we took it seriously, felt very important, and either sent them away or promised to marry them Now the girls laugh at them, keep them from becoming serious, and I don't know but they are safer than we were They are wiser than we were at their age, [" she went on slowly.

 ''Is that all that is worrying you. Stella? Mort is evidently on his feet again, and pretty sQuarely. You have nice home once more, clothes, things for the children, yet you-you aren't happy"
 There is nothing worrying me, Dorian-that is, nothing tangible" 1 amended.

His patience had brought no reward, he thought. You see he quite overlooked the nice long rest and the beautiful sweet dreams. He had wanted differ. ent reward, so he thought he hadn't had any.
