Striking Example of Expan-
sion of So-Called Lux
ury Crops.

tPrepared bv the United states Departmt nv
of Agriculture.l
The growth of the strawberry in
duStry is a striking example of the
great expansion of the so-called lux
ury crops in recent years, says the
bureau of agricultural economics
United States Department of Agricul.
ture Time was when the strawberry
season was limited practically To the
season of locally grown berries
Fast transportation and refrigeration
changed this until now consumers
may enjoy strawberries practically
the year round Within ten years the
commercial acreage of strawberries
has increased from 1920 acres in
1920 To ,021S0 acres in 1929. and a
projected area of lS3,6SO acres this
year.
Descendant of Wild Meadow Berry
1.-The commercial strawberry" says
j. ". Strowbridge in technical bull
letin on the origin and distribution
of the commercial strawberry crop,
just issued by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. ''is believed
TO be descendant of the wild meadow
strawberry native TO the country. The
crossing of this wild strawberry OF
the eastern part of the United States
with the cultivated varieties from
Chill resulted in hybrids from which
the strawberry grown at the present
time developed.
Market production began about
1900. but. because of the perishable
nature of the varieties then grown.
only small quantities were produced
and those in localities near points of
consumption. The expansion of the
industry as commercial proposition
began about 1860 and has been en-
cOuraged by Improvement in methods
of culture and by the development of
varieties which are adapted TO meet
the variety of growing conditions in
many producing sections and which
have qualities that give reasonable
assurance of delivery in good cOndi,
tion to distant markets. Refrigera
tion and other improvements in trans
portation have aided the development

Much Game Being Slain
by Autos on Highways

Hundreds of thousands OF rabbits
are being slaughtered by automobiles
on highways. with the result that
sportsmen's organizations and game
wardens are urging drivers to eXer-
else the utmost care to reduce the
mortality. Estimates of the kill in a
number of states lead authorities to
believe that an average of a rabbit
a mile is run down on every highway
of the country.
Most of the fatalities occur at night
when rabbits. especially young ones,
are blinded by the headlights of cars
and become ready victims of speeding
machines.
Ring-necked pheasants also are be-
ing killed in considerable numbers in
sections where these game birds are
plentiful. A Pennsylvania sportsman
reported the running down of three
half-grown birds within less than G
month in the vicinity of his farm.
Small fur-bearing animals likewise
are being killed on highways running
through woods and forests. Minks,
'pOssums and racOons are numbered
among those that are slain by auto
mobiles.

Use of Sweet Clover for
Green Manure Is Urged

Allowing sweet clover to stand the
second year ordinarily does not pay,
according TO c. NJ Linsley, University
of Illinois. A seed crop or pasture
may justify keeping the second year
growth but not otherwise.
Sweet clover if thick and vigorous
will. yield l50 pounds of nitrogen per
acre, enough for 100 bushels corn
crop. There is no point to allowing
clover TO stand late in the second year
for plowing il under. Ii contains prac
tically as much nitrogen early, as late.
and it is better to plant corn as early
as possible. Linsley says. The nitro
gen in the early spring growth is all
moved up from the roots and not gath
cred from the atmosphere.

Hail Harold Andres at
Dartmouth as TODnOtch

The "three-sport" athlete at Dart
mouth has become very prominent
this year, following a period when no
one appeared to step into the shoes
of Myles Lane. one of the greatest all
round athletes in Green sports dur
ing recent years.
Harold Andres is probably the out
standing star in sports at Dartmouth
at the present time. He is junior in
the college and was elected to captain
the 1880 Indian football team last fall
after giving a consistently brilliant
performance at center During the
winter he was one of the mainstayS
of the Dartmouth hockey team, and
this spring played regularly on the
Green baseball team in the left field
berth.
Next to Andres in brilliance is Ed
jeremiah of Somerville, Mass, who is
also a star in football, hockey and
baseball. A clever backfield player
in football, Jeremiah's flashy work in
hockey won him All-American honors
last winter This spring he played Sec
ond base for the league-leading Dart
mouth nine.

departm ent of the state college OF

Tomato vines may be pulled up by
the roots and hung TO the rafterS in

number of well-develOped green fruits.
These will ripen slowly and prOlQng
the season of fresh tomatoes. Some
people have served tomatoes for

All vegetables to be stored must be

root vegetables like carrots, beets.
turnips and parsnips should be dug
and allowed TO dry in the sun few
hours before placing them in storage.
Boxes of clean sand are the best for
these vegetables. Onions and cabbage
keep best on open Slated racks and
potatoes in Slated bins that allow a
circulation of air.
Not many family gardens supply all
the vegetables which one may store
for winter use. AT this season when

League Standing

With the Corbin team facing it's second stiff test in as many days in the Industrial baseball league, the league leaders are favored tonight to defeat the Gascos because of tho weakened condition of the opposi- tion to be afforded tonight The Gascos have been crippled because of the fact that most of the mem- bers of their team have been suf- fering from a poison ivy affliction. contracted while at the "ole swim- min hole" in Canaan two weeks ago last Saturday.
 George Fields, regular third base man. will not be with the team to- night again because Of this afflic- tion. His legs are covered with the poison and he has been unable to don a uniform for the last few games of the Gascos. Wally Kopec, catcher, is also suffering from a bad scourge of the itch but he will try to be in uniform and in shape for battle tonight.
 Following the defeat of the Cor bin team by Fafnirs last Tuesday night, rivals of P. & F. have been hoping that the Gascos might be able 10 develop enough strength 10 hand the league leaders their fourth defeat and thereby keep the other teams Tn the running for the per- nant.
