Callan, of the Speech and Drama department of the Catholic University of America, who was guest speaker before the oZnto club here. Dr. Callan said the increased patronage of the past three years at the university's theater demon strated a preference for the classi- cal production over the so-called modern drama.

weather permits preparing the ground. Lay out rows 1-2 feet apart, and set plants Is inches apart in the rows. Do not use commercial fertilizer at the roots. Bonemeal, thoroughly mixed with the soil is best. Soil which has been in cultivation at least year is to be desired.
 Do not set plants with black or rooted roots. Remove all but one or two vigorous leaves from each plant, prune away about one third of the root system and plant so that the crown (where leaves arise) is level with the soil surface. If the crown is planted too deep and covered by soil, or left too shall low, the plants will do poorly or die. Initial plants can be purchas- ed from the nursery but in later years, plants for the new bed can be secured from the outside of the old matted rows. Select young

Two avoid winter injury to the crowns at temperatures lower than IS, strawberries should be mulched by about the first of December, with three or four inches of g. mulch material that does not pack tightly and smother the plants. Most of the mulch should be pulled away from over the plants into the middle of the rows the follow ing spring after danger of frost is past and before the leaves show whitish green. Maintain good mulch between the rows and re- tain as much as possible around the plants in the row to conserve moisture and keep berries clean.
 About a month after planting. the young plants should be fertil. ized with two tablespoons per plant of ammonium sulphate or simi- lar nitrogen carrying fertilizer. It is spread in a ring on the ground surface about three inches from the crown. Another identical fertiliza- tion can be made about mid-August.
 Blossoms which appear during the summer after planting should be removed weekly. Otherwise they stunt the growth of the plants the first year and reduce yield the next. With newly planted ever-bearing varieties, the blossoms can be left for a fall crop after about July 1.
