The Strawberry Patch

Very few gardeners who have space
to spare will do without strawberry
patch. The everbearing variety has
come into favor. and in most instances
Is satisfactory. However, the crop,
being continuous throughout most of
the growing season, is seldom as
large at any time as the regular kind.
Better results will be had by pinching

The poultryman who desires chicks
for next spring delivery should be
looking around for a poultry breeder
who sells chicks of good quality.
Many a man is forced TO go without

been too slow in placing his order.
