very acid soils. Results obtained,
as to the effect Of lime on straw
berries, indicate that on most soils
upon which strawberries are
grawn lime seems injurious.
Conclusions
We may conclude on the basis
of such experimental evidence % u
available as follows:
I. It is desirable to turn under
green manure crops, preferably
leguminous, prior to the planting
of Strawberries. This improves
the physical condition Of soil and
increases the organic content, the
water-holding capacity and the fer
tility.
2. Since nitrogen and possibly
phosphorus are the most likely
limiting factors, establisher plan
tations will usually benefit by the
annual application of 6 to 8 tons
Of well rotted farm manure per
acre, or its equivalent in legumin-
Gus hay. to 2 tons.)

95 pounds Of actual phosphoric

gen in the fall may be increased II
the soil moisture is adequate.
Composition
Chemically, the nitrogen fertil-
lied berries generally contain more
nitrogen and lower percentage Of
total sugars in most cases.
Firmness of Flesh
Moderation is desirable In the
use of nitrogen fertilizers upon the
strawberry plants. When the
weather is warm during the pick
ing season plants receiving heavy
nitrogen applications produce ber-
ries inclined to be soft.
Rate of Ripening
The average rate of ripening Of
strawberries after harvest seems
to be increased by the application
of nitrogen fertilizer in the spring.
This effect is not SO marked when
the nitrogen is applied in the late
summer or early fall.
Time of Application
Apparently spring applications
of nitrogen do not increase total
yields with as much certainty as
may August or early fall applica-
tions increase yields the suisse
quent spring.
Form of Fertilizers to Use
Farm manure, if available, is de-
sirable. At times when alfalfa hay
is cheap and commercial fertilizers
are high priced, alfalfa may may
be used. Care must be exercised in
applying sodium nitrate, ammon-
ium sufphate, or potassium chlor-
ide closely about the plant. If these
compounds are applied on the fol-
iage are too heavy, it is possible
to kill the plants. The indications
are that physiologically acid fertil-
izers, such as ammonium sulphate,
may be more beneficial to straw
berries on neutral or slightly acid
soils, but that physiologically ak
aline fertilizers, such as nitrate of
soda, may be more favorable on

New "High-Life" Contraption
Just Won't Fit Old Family Bis

The green Hudson car which has
been parked by the lamp post in
front of the printing office most
of the time for the past five or six
years has had one principal fault,
in the eyes of its driver. We have
always felt that the engine de-
veloped too much power-ran too
fast at the road speeds which
seemed safest to travel.
1t seemed that if there was an
extra notch on the high gear shift
that the same speed could be OBJ
tanned at much slower motor
speed. In other words, four
speeds ahead would be just about
right.
When such a contraption was
demonstrated yesterday, the idea

EFFECT OF FERTILI-
ZATION ON BERRIES


Building up soil fertility and In
creasing the organic content Of the
soil upon which Strawberries are to
be grown by the application of
farm manures, by the growing of
green manure crops, or by crop ro-
tation, prior to planting is an eco
nomical, satisfactory procedure.
Flowing under leguminous COW
er crop before the plants are set
subsequently gives marked bene-
fits as to strawberry plant growth
and yield.
One of the reasons why crop ro-
tation has been practiced is because
apparently any one crop continu-
ously grown year after year tends
to exhaust the soil fertility. With
the strawberry there Is another i'm
portant reason and that is that in
sect and disease populations may
be built up until strawberries do
no pay on that particular tract of
ground and another crop must be
grown. Furthermore, after sew
eral years, the crowns may have
grown so high above the ground
that new main roots cannot form,
the plant becomes weak, and the
berries small.
If the soil is good, high in organ
ic matter, adequately supplied with

Stinson Says Members
Spend Too Much Time
in Making Speeches

We are now entering on the. last
eight days of the session, with only
a remote possibility that one bill
in twenty will be enacted, Senator
C. S. Stimson writes from Olympia
today.
The new highway code is before
the senate. After an entire days
work, we have finally read the tt
tie. 1t is conceded that the code has
the backing of the administration
forces, and apparently has a clear
majority on the roll call, but un-
der our constitution the minority
are entitled to impose endless de-
lays.
The bill to raise revenue to op-
crate the schools and state depart
ments is still over in the house and
has not even been put on the cal
endar. Even the chain store bill
which is expected to raise some
revenue is still sleeping in the
rules committee of the senate. The
people back home are wondering
why the legislation makes such
slow progress. 1t seems to be no
fault of the older members, how
ever, the new members consume
most Of the time making speeches
on various subjects not related to
the problems before us. If bill
comes out on the floor they demand
that it be delayed until they can
have time to study it, full oppor-
tunity having been given them dur
ing the last fifty days, but most
of them were drawing new bills to
introduce, and putting in the time
in every way except what legis-
latures are expected to do.
1t is very doubtful if the legis-
lature will be able to pass on the
important laws by March 18th.
We are still quite sure of hav-
ing the North Bank Highway
adopted as a primary state road,
and other matters of interest to
our district are in q position to
be favorably passed on very soon.

GETTING OUR OWN WAY

A CONDEMNED prisoner at Sing \ Sing prison recently asked the warden for "a few drinks of repeal liquor,' explaining that he had read of such request being granted to a man in another prison who had little time left to enjoy anything on this earth.
 When the warden refused permis- sion for this, the man told guards he would seek the intercession of the governor to get him what he wanted.
 Strange, isn't it. that man about to enter the next world should care so much about getting "a few drinks of repeal liquor"? Stranger, too that he should see nothing in appropriate in taking up the grati fication of his desire with the gov ernor of the state!
 Our first reaction to this Is, Poor devil, he'll have so little time left to enjoy anything why not give him what he wants?" But there Is an interesting moral In this inci- dent-if a moral may once in a very long time be permitted in this column
 If you stop to think about it there is nothing surprising in the fact that a man with such a distort- ed sense of values should end his life in the death house of prison. A man who sees nothing dispropor- tionate in asking the attention of the governor of the state for his own whim or fancy is not likely to count the cost to others of anything he may want.
 People whose monetary desires are of the most supreme importance in their scheme of life are among

WHO IS A "LADY"?

HEAR Mrs. Post: Is the word A> lady" more correct than "wom- an" when telling some one that there is a (blank) calling on the telephone?" The word doesn't seem to have any real significance any longer if am to judge by the many females who are called "lady" and who don't know any more about fol- lowing "the code of lady tor gen. tleman)" than l know about build ing skyscrapers, when my business Is to design draperles for their many windows. Is any woman ''lady" nowadays?
 Answer: The term, which once denoted a person of breeding and cultivation, long ago deteriorated into meaning nothing more than female of respectable appearance. Consequently those who have clear est right to the title speak of them- selves and their friends as women. One should, however, always say "a lady on the telephone" You would also say, T am making curtains for a lady in Chicago"
 Dear Mrs. Post: Our neighbors are very inconsiderate. My husband works every evening until eleven o'clock and would enjoy sleeping un- til eight o'clock next morning But 1t Is next to impossible to get any sleep after six o'clock because their small children are not disciplined at all, and their mother never tells them to be quiet, or keeps them from climbing into our yard. In fact, she herself slams doors and yells. Isn't there anything we can do to mend their habits and yet keep the neighborhood in an ami able state? We can't move. so don't advise that
 Answer: When neighbors are in- considerate nothing can be done ex- cept to call on the board of health Cor whatever local official deals with such matters). I have a friend who owns New York apartment, the sale of which In this city is i'm possible. Overhead live two boys whose only diversions seem to be jumping contests and chopstick pi- ano duets. The misery of my friend, who is an invalid, can hardly be ex- aggerated. Tn this case each note of protest brings note of apology from the mother or the father, and then the noise goes on unabated. Perhaps a visit from representa- tive of the board of health might be effective - depending, of course, upon the efficiency of this particu- lar representative.
