COVE COMMENTS
By G. A. Renouf

Here's feather in the cap of
Puget Sound. A recent visitor
from old Guernsey said that Seat
tie was the best and most beauti-
full city he had seen. When he
gets back to his old Guernsey town
he will no doubt. be stuck by its
shabbiness and dullness. Perhaps
L can convey word picture of
the old place that will help you
to visualize a town so very differ
ent from any you possibly may
have seen. Picture a town built
of dark blue granite with some
of the houses plastered with stuc-
co, very steep, narrow streets and
many lanes, both blind and other
wise, high stone walls everywhere
with an occasional door here and
there. Many of the houses on the
waterfront are five stories and
you may go in at the front door,
climb up five flights of stairs and
emerge through the back door on
another road or lane. When the
wife and | first lived there we
used to amuse ourselves on Sun
day afternoons exploring all the
back alleys we could find, climb
ing imumerable stone steps and
opening sundry doors in said walls
which disclosed fine gardens with
a house at the far end.
The Guernsey folk are very re-
firing people, and love privacy.
Many of the houses in town are
built cat-a-corner to the road so
that folks living in them could
keep tabs on what was transpir-
ing from windows set in the pre-
iecting gables. There are very
steep roads where the houses are
built with each story projecting
over the other so that folks in the
top story could shake hands across
the street This must have been
convenience in past times as a
short plank would bridge the gap
and save negotiating several long
flights Of stairs when visiting or
perhaps when counting some fair
lady opposite.
There is an old church which
was dedicated to Saint Peter and
you can see the cross, keys and
Bishops mitre on the steeple. No
doubt the town was built around
the church or rather back Of it,
because the church is ON the i'm
mediate waterfront and like all
of them-twelve in number-they
were built by the Roman Catho-
flies. The oldest one dates back
from the year I'LL, and eleven
walls, roof and everything are
of solid masonaly and built to lasi
till the crack of doom.
One of the old stone wharfs
dates back to the time of Henry
VII. 1t is built of great bould
ers from the beach, without NOR
tar or other binding and still
stands defiant of the storms Of
centuries. 1t is the happy hunt
ing ground of swarms of great
rats which weave in and out Of
the crevices as the rising tides
/ drive them upwards.
One wonders why the old timer;
always chose a hill to build then
town on when in this case Their,
is plenty of good level land within
a mile | have often thought i
a bunch of Americans owned the
old place they would first builf
an up-to-date city on the leve

town and use the debris for fill

Fertilizer Increases Strawberry

Use of superphosphate on straw

WHEAT GOOD,
SAYS EXPERT
Severe Winter Has Not
Harmed Crop.

BIZ Times special
PHILADELPHIA. April 29.-Al-
though the great midWeStern farm
ing belt has just passed through
its most severe winter in several
years. the damage to wheat, clover
and meadow crops has been much
less than usual, and the outlook is
bright for a record drop in many sec
lions.
This is the forecast Of B. W. Snow,
crop expert of the Farm Journal,
who explains in the current issue OF
that national agricultural maya
zine how a constantly severe win
ter is really favorable to heavy
wheat crops
while temperatures were very
low. the cold waves followed each
other so rapidly that there was very
little of the mechanical effect Of
alternate freezing and thawing,'
Snow points out. The plants re-
NAMED in a state of complete Sus-
pension of growth and there was
a minimum of heaving to break the
roots.
THE soft wheat territory from
Ohio to the Missouri river has SUI
fered' but little winter killing and
the condition of the plant is ex
cellent. The hard wheat territory,
especially western Nebraska and
Kansas, is not quite so good, since
Growth was small last fall and the
plant did not get quite enough
root"
