Care of Strawberry Bed.

1t is advisable to set new straw
berry bed every spring, but IN the
small home garden, at least, it will
often pay to continue the bed for a
second and possibly third season.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture advises that if the bed is
to be saved for another year any
mulch and other refuse, such as
weeds and strawy manure that may
have accumulated through the sum-
mer, should be raked off as soon as
the crop is gathered. Then the older
plants should be pulled out or re-
moved with hoe, leaving only
enough of the younger ones to send
out runners to make a new narrow
or wide matted row, as desired. If
the leaves on the plants left are
spotted with disease, cut or NOW
them off and burn them.
A pound of nitrate of soda per
square rod of ground scattered
around the plants will start vigor-
Gus growth. Put this fertilizer on
when the plants are dry, for it will
injure any damp parts of the plant it
touches. Handled in this way a bed
may be kept for several years, be-
cause the new plants of one year are
saved for fruiting the next. Old beds
may be cleaned up, as just men
toned, by hoeing or blowing the
spaces between rows and leaving the
youngest plants in the row.

price lOl HIS WOOl
1T is interesting to report that a
large per cent. of the finished goods
is shipped to customers out of the
State and this is creating a growing
demand.
THE net gain in price to the mem
bers, over the price paid by the local
buyers for the years 1922 and 1928
was ST. ,393.74.
"The amount of wool received and
on hand, for this season of 1924, is
Co. 1922 pounds. Due to an unsatis-
factory wool market, none of this
seasons wool has been sold, but plans
are being made to have manu-
featured sufficient amount to fill the
needs of our customers. At present
the wool market is more steady and
with better demand for wool.
Prices will doubtless find a more sat
isfactory level in a few weeks when
all surplus wool will be sold.
I'm view of the fact that the Maine
Sheep and Wool Growers Association
has grown in membership as we'll as
financially each year, while hundreds
of other cooperative marketing or
CARNATIONS have been forced to quit,
feel that the work merits the sup
port, both morally and financially, of
everyone interested in one of Names
profitable industries.
more and better sheep will make
more profits and more contented,
prosperous families on Maine farms"

Jamestown Resident Carries
$25 Case to High Court

John Canham, prominent business
man of Jamestown, has lived in his
community over 40 years without
being charged with violation of law,
and he doesn't intend to be convict
ed of it now, if he can help it. Cam
ham has appealed to the supreme
court his fine of $25.0o and costs
for alleged violation Of the state
game laws.
Canham, the record shows, was
fined by Judge f. G. Mcfarland in
jamestown, November IL, 1928, on
a charge of running a bird dog dur
ing the prairie chicken season. H.
A. Brown, game warden, was wit
ness.
The facts, according to Canham's
attorney, were that he was driving
along the road with a dog tied to
the running board of the machine.
He shot prairie chickens. Unable to
find one, he loosed the dog to give
IT chance to find wounded or
dead bird. The dog failed. Canham
was arrested.
The dog, Canham maintains, was
duck retriever, and not bird
dog. He wasn't violating the law, in
his belief, and his attorney, in the
brief, declared that Canham, after
living in community for 40 years,
does not want to be held q law vio-
lator."
