DAY ANNIVERSARY

CONCORD, Mass, April 19.-
Historic Concord is observing
again today its anniversary of the
battle of Isl years ago which
made this nation free. The town
is jammed with thousands of ipeo-
pie from every quarter of eastern
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island and
Southern New Hampshire and the
day has been one of feasting and
celebration SINCE hoarse guns
awoke the countryside at dawn.
The graves of the 72 Revo-
lutionary soldiers buried in the
town were decorated with flags,
and at the famed old North Bridge
where the first shot was fired, the
graves of the British who died on
its eastern shore were dressed
with festoons of flowers.
The school children of the town
placed the flags on the varioous
graves during the forenoon, first
in the Main-st burying ground
and then at Sleepy Hollow Gene
terry, wherein also lie many of the
men and women whose writings
have made Massachusetts, famous.
At each place '.taps" was blown
by bugler. Sports formed the
afternoon program, and in the
evening there will be dinner at
which the speaker Is to he w.

STRAWBERRIES

1t is nearly time to begin thinking
about the strawberry bed. Pull off
the Winter mulch as soon as growth
starts. If straw was used as Il Win
ter mulching material it should be
worked down under the leaves. for
there it will keep the fruit out of the
dirt and it also helps to prevent the
growth Of weeds. If a heavy coarse
mulch was used. the material should
be drawn to the alleys between the
rows of plants.
The bed should be kept weeded to
allow all of the plant food in the
soil to go into the plants. Few crops
give a greater return for the use of
water than do strawberries. Water
ing should begin az soon as the bios
SONS have set and the young fruit
begins to form. This watering should
not be q daily sprinllling of the top
foliage. but should consist of weekly
flooding the bed, with the hose lying

LIMITING THE SOIL.

Most of our garden crops had their
origin in soils which had a lime char
acter. Many Of the soils around Wash
ington possess an acid reaction. These
must be neutralized in order that the
farmer and gardener may secure
profitable crops which naturally grow
in a limestone country.
Lime has other important functions.
1t will improve the physical condition
Of heavy, compacted soils. 1t ma
terially assists in breaking down the
lumpy nature of heavy clay soils.
which are especially prevalent in
those new residential sections where
the subsoil has been exposed in grad
ing operations. The gardener needs
this crumbling effect Of lime in pre-
pairing the seed bed for plants or
lawns. Lining assists in the decom-
position of organic matter in the soil.
The garden editor will be insistent in
his remarks to all home gardeners to
make the fullest use of every bit of
on your place and to the planting of
green cover crops to be turned under
into the soil. Applications of lime
will materially aid in making these
organic foods available as plant food

Many people. however, secure their
plants from the seed and plant stores,
but there is a chance Of introducing
the disease known as "club root into
the garden. These purchased plants
should be secured before the best or
the stock has been picked over and
can be held in the home cold frame
until the ground Is ready for planting.
Cabbages require deep and rlcn
soil and one that holds moisture well.
The plants should be set 1S to "a
inches apart in the row, the rows be-
ing feet apart for the garden cul'
ture.
Seed of the late cabbage is sown
outdoors, Danish Ballhead being a
favorite variety. The seed bed should
be made mellow and rich and the seed
is sown in rows 3 to inches apart.
The plants will well repay prompt
thinning and weeding~and attention
to watering. These should be started
3 weeks before they are needed in
the garden. They are one of the type
called succession crops" being plant
ed in the rows formerly occupied by
the early radishes. lettuce, spinach,

chased from the stores.

Applications in the home garden
most likely will be made broadcast.
Probably the best use will be obtained
by scattering the lime after plOwing
or spading in order that the lime may
be completely mixed in the soil in the
further operations of preparing the
soil for planting. Ground burned
lime might well be spread on the
rough land after plowing in the Fall.
The length of time between the appli-
cations of lime will vary from one to
three years, depending upon the guam
tity used at one time and the positive
effects of the lime itself. When the
conditions which required the first
application of lime recur the soil
should be given another treatment

TREE PLANTING

I. Do not permit the roots of the
plants to be exposed to the sun, dry
ing winds or frosts. Puddle the roots
with muddy water.
.. Remove with a sharp, clean cut
any broken or injured roots.
3. Make the holes large enough to
admit all of the roots without cramp-
ing any of them.
4. Use special soil if your garden
soil is not good. enriching it with
completely rotted compost.
). Avoid the use of any green. un-
fermented manure, for the roots are
liable to rot when in contact with
such materials. If special fertilizer
is to be used. work in a little hone

the tree is planted.

BETHEL RADIO MAN LOST SINCE FRIDAY
 RETURNS STATION
PAUL ESTLE BACK ON JOB, LO. CAL OFFICE IS NOTlFlED;
 DETAILS LACKING

From far away Bethel, down the winter clothed Yukon river, came a message late yesterday to the local radio and cable office headquarters that at o'clock yesterday afternoon, Private Paul Estle, Signal Corps op- orator, had returned after his mys- terious disappearance since last Fri day, almost a week ago. Captain Guthrie, commander of the second Alaska division headquarters, who au- thorized search parties to be dispatch ed for the missing soldier, has been notified a full account of the affair is being mailed to him. Therefore, de- tails are at this time lacking.
 Private Estle left his station at Bethel last Friday at 1 o'clock in the afternoon in an open scow powered with a Ford engine. He left in the face of a heavy North wind, with the temperature below freezing point. He had engine trouble prior to his depar' ture. hence he was late in getting away for Akiak where he was to ln
