Check Your
Strawberry Bed

If you plan to keep your straw
berry bed another year, it will
need attention right after harvest,
county agent William H. Hendeson
says. He listed several steps to
take in renewing a strawberry bed /:
Remove mulch if necessary.
Cut off leaves with a hand sickle
or mower with blade set high so
it won't injure plant crowns.
Narrow the matted row of plants
with spade or tiller, leaving a
row of plants six inches wide.
Make the row 8 to 10 inches wide
if its midsummer.
Cultivate the middles thoroughly
and weed the row. Get every weed,
Henderson said.
Fertilizer, especially if the plants
don't appear vigorous and berries
harvested earlier were small. For
complete fertilizer, such as 10
1910, the rate should be about
three pounds for every so feet of
row, according to the agent. Apply
the fertilizer along each side of the
row and in each row. Brush off
plant leaves and crowns with a
broom afterward.
If you have dry weather and
water is available, water the plants
thoroughly. Wet the soil 5 to
inches deep each time it is Dece-
ssary. This usually takes about an
inch of water, depending on the
soil.
Large paintings may justify the
use of weed sprays. Apply accor-
ding to manufacturers directions.
They work best when the soil is
moist, Henderson said.
If single plant system is used
instead of matted rows for grow
ing strawberries, cut off the rum
ners and keep the planting culti-
vated so runners won't take root.

Flies Wrong Flag
For Guinea Chief

NEW YORK, Nov. S (AP).-
New York yesterday broke out
the red carpet-and the wrong
flag-for Sekou Toure, Presi-
dent of the young African Re-
public of Guinea.
The city gave him its tradi-
tional welcome for visiting no
tables-a ticker-tape parade
along lower Broadway. The
route was lined with Old Glory
and the flag of another young
African country, Ghana.
A red-faced Department Of
Commerce and Public Events,
which handles such things,
sheepishly explained that a
flagmaker delivered the wrong
ones and nobody recognized the
error until too late.
Guinea's flag is a tri-color of
red, yellow and green. Ghana's
flag is similar but with a star
in the center bar.
President Toure took it all
in diplomatic stride. He stood
in the car and waved to more
than 100000 greeters as though
the flags were his.

his Washington news confer

Asian observers as hardly likely
to soothe Pakistan's sensitivity
He started to say the visit to
India would make q stop in
Pakistan almost necessary, then
corrected himself to say he
would be missing a chance not
to visit other countries in the
