Mulching is one of the essentials
Of successful strawberry culture.
Mulching prevents heaving of the
plants in the spring and keeps the
fruit clean. Among other advantag
es, it conserves moisture during the
spring months, keeps weeds down,
fruiting may be delayed, and the sill
is kept from baking. A good mulch
should be free from weed seed,

AGRICULTURAL NOTES
By II. G. seyforth

This is the last call for the Poul-
try and Grain Show to be held at
River Falls, Thursday and Friday,
December IL and II. A very good
program is in store for evryone on
the evening of December Ii at the
Normal auditorium. Besides talks
on Poultry and Cooperative Egg
Marketing, good program is being
prepared by the Normal. Friday
afternoon, Dec. IL, is Boys and
Girls Day. A number of schools
plan to visit the exhibits at this time
and some of the boys and girls are
planning to take part in the Poultry
and Grain Judging contest. Mr.. Be-
wick, State Club Leader, will give a
talk on Club Work. We also ex-
pect one of our club members who
has just made trip to the Interna-
tional Stock Show and Boys and
Girls Club Congress, at Chicago, to
give report Of her trip. Visit the
Show during the two days it is being
held.

For best results it is best to pur-
chase we'll grown, vigorous one or
two year old trees. Now is a good
time to put projectors or wrappers
around your fruit trees, as the mice
and rabbits can do considerable
damage in a very short time. Wire
window screen or fine chicken wire
may be used with success in case OF
small trees. The protector should be
about two feet high and be allowed
to stand out short distance from
the tree. The tube should be fasten-
ed with wire. "a wooden veneer
strip or some ready made protector
may be used with success. Where
there are only few trees around the
home yard they could be wrapped
with heavy building paper. All pro-
tectors should be removed in the
spring as they make a harboring
place for insects.
Pyrotol or explosive orders placed
now expect to be delivered early in
January. If you plan to use any Of
this explosive next spring it is well
to place your order early.

mon use. Shredded corn stalks and
pine, needles are used when avail
able. The mulch is usually applied
in the fall; most growers wait until
the ground is frozen permanently;
and others apply shortly before
freezing, claiming that there is less
danger of injury to plants due to
alternate freeing and thawing. The
usual depth under Wisconsin condi-
tions is two to four inches after the
mulch has settled.

The collision occurred after the

unattended, on the sidewalk In front
Of her home, and a truck driver had
left his heavy truck standing across
the street. The truck was started
in some way, careened across the
street, mounted the curb and pinned
the baby carriage against the build,
