Preparation of land for planting strawberries should be complete and imflu:h. Fallure in this respect be- fere setting the plants is likely to l wve costly. If the soll does not /Bave abundant humus, it should be |supplied before planting, either by ‘making heavy applications of manure ior by growing and turning under one er more green-manure crops, prefer- ‘ably a legume. If nematodes are present in the soil, they may be starv- trrigated regions. Where the soll is Deavy and rather impervious to water, marrow beds must be made and the Al system should be adopted. In .cases where the sofl is penetrated ‘seadily to some distance by irrigated water, the beds may be wider and the which may be secured free, so long @» the supply lasts, on application to the United States department of ag- riculture, Washington, D.

RODENTS HARM FRUIT TREES Rabbits and Mice Gnaw Bark Near 8urface of Ground and in Some Cases Girdle Trees. Bach winter considerable damage 1is done to young fruit trees by rabbits and field mice. They gnaw the bark near the surface of the ground and in extreme cases the trees are entirely girdled. Often such injured trees may be saved if suitable measures are taken promptly; but a much bet- ter plan Is to protect the trees from injury in the first place. This can be done by placing around each one a tree protector, made of closely-woven galvanized Iron wire or of thin wood vencer. The wire cheaper and are erally used, protectors are riuch more gen- says V. R.

They can be obtained from almost any firm deal- | ing in berry hoxes o# haskets or gen- | eral horticnltural supplies. They cost from $1 to $1.25 a hundred and last | for several years. A few trees in the | home orchard can be protected from rabbits and mice by wrapping their trunks with heavy paper and tying it in place. This, however, is too slow and expensive to be practicable in large commercial plantations. SMALL ORCHARD IS FAVORED Every Farm Should Have at Least Twenty Fruit Trees and Some Berry Bushes. Every man who lives on his own farm should have a few fruit trees and in a fenced orchard or yard. An acre it ,llttle enough, but at least any farm should have ten apple, five peach and five cherry trees. These cost but @ trifle, but if cared for properly will supply a family with fruit in some form for the entire year. Then a row and. gooseberries and a square row of strawberries will add much to the happiness of the family.—Fxtension Latin America Wants the Monroe Doctrine Defined ASHINGTON.—Latin American countries which participated in the peace conference and also those invited to join the League of Nations are watch- ing the request of Salvador that the United States define the Monroe doctrine 80 that they will know just what they are agreeing to if they join the league. The state department has acknowl- edged receipt of the request from Juan Franco Paredes, minister for foreign affairs of Salvador. His note says, among other things: i “The text of the treaty contains one article which has awakened warm discussion throughout the whole Amer- ican continent, including the United ' States, due no doubt to its brevity and iack of clearness. I refer to article 21: ““Nothing in this covenant shall be deemed to affest the validity of in- ternational engagements, such as treaties of arbitration or regional under- standings like the Monroe doctrine, for securing the maintenance of peace’ “My government recognizes that the Monroe doctrine consolidates the independence of the continental states of Latin America and saved them from the great danger of a Burepean intervention. It realizes that it is a powerful factor in the existence of the democratic form of government in this conti- nent and that it raised a barrier to Buropean colonization. “Since however, the covenant oZ the League of Nations does not deter- mine the purposes nor fix a definite criterion of international relationship in America, and since, on the other hand, the doctrine will be forthwith trans- formed—in view of the full sanction of the nations of the world—into a prin- ciple of universal public law, juris et de jure, I request that your excellency will be good emough to give the authentic interpretation of the Monroe doc- trine, as it s understood in the present historical moment.” yow systems are used extensively In | T SHALE ACCEPTABLE AS FUEL Gatiefacterity Used New In Esthonia, it May Be Taken Up by Other Osuntries. Rallroads ia Esthonia seem in a falr way to discard coal in favor of bitu- mineus shale, a substance common eneugh in geological formations to make the Esthonian experiment widely interesting. Lacking coal, the Estho- nian provisional government has been investigating the possibilities of shale, and, as the report comes by way of Helsingfors, shale is now belng used for a good many purposes. The gas factory at Reval, for example, is using shale exclusively for making gus. But, so far, shale has not been adopted as a fuel, and wood is being burned in the fireboxes. The factory prob- ably waits to see how completely shale can be used to run rallway trains, and the raiflway factory in Reval is now experimenting with fire-boxes suitable to using shale in a locomotive. That it can be successfully used, how- ever, seems to have been proved. Cost is a strong argument for the use of shale, and 3 marks for a pood, or some 80 or 40 pounds, of shale, as against 30 marks for the same meas- ure of coal makes it very much cheap- er. It would be odd, but not impos- sible, if later events should show that in using shale for fuel the little-known country of Esthonia is leading the world.

Ginghams prevail at Palm Beach for morning wear. One of the, prettiest seen recently was of medium size blue and white check, buttoned up the back with pearl buttons and sashed with gingham, the ends tying in the back, apron fashion. The long sleeves had cuffs of sheer white lawn, hemstitched in blue thread, and the collar, of the same material, was round in the front and came to two points in the back on either side of the buttons. Twe small pockets in the fromt of the skirt were also trimmed with white. With this was worn an attrac tive blue straw hat, with a- wide brim, and on the large crown were several flowers in yellow and old rose, made from threads of wool yarn cut at the ends. : HARD EFFORTS [} 1 “How did you catch that cold?” “Oh I just ran after it in & cou- ple of Marathon sprints and finally racing car.” FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 5, 1920 Brewing Tea in Tibet.

Our grand- mother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, uses only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mix- ture improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,” which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By mourn the gray hair disappears; but what deiights the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, besides beautifully darken- ing the hair after a few applica- tions, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance..
