STRAWBERRIES FROM SUMMER TO FROST Strawberries from your graden throughout summer and autumn are now a possibility as the result of the perfection of "overbearing" varieties of this delicious berry. Everbearing strawberries are not a brand new dis covery, but heretofore they have been grown chiefly by amateurs and com mercial growers who have tested them in comparison with ordinary sorts. In a recent publication of the United States Department of Agriculture an nouncement is. made that a sufficient number of trials of these varieties now have been completed to indicate their real value for home use and for market in certain sections of the coun try. Primarily a Northern Type The regions where it is known that overbearing varieties can be grown extend as far south as the northern narts of Virginia, Kentucky, Arkan sas, and Kansas. South of these lim its there are probably points where they may be grown with some degree of success, but they are not definitely known to succeed there. The two leading varietics of this type of strawberry, the Progressive and the Superb, are notable not only because they produce fruit from the time of the usual crop until late sun mer or autumn, but also because they are exceptionally resistant to leaf-spot diseases. They are also very hardy. The Progressive has been found to withstand the winters of the Middle West better than any other variety except the Dunlap, one of its parents. The Superb also is hardier than most varieties of strawberries. Another re markable characteristic of these vari eties is that if their blooms are killed by frost they soon flower again. Therefore in many sections subject to late spring frosts, which often destroy the crop, these varieties are particu larly valuable. If plants of the everbearing type set early in the spring, a small crop can be had the first season. Plants which have been set for a year give a fair yield at the time the usual strawberry crop is borne. For the period immediately after this early summer crop the amount of fruit se cured is small. In August, September and Octover it becomes larger and un der favorable conditions the late sum mer or autumn crop from certain va rieties may equal or exceed the early summer crop. Thus instead of a con stant supply throughout the season there is a distinct early summer crop, then a period of comparative rest when little fruit is produced, followed by a long period when a fairly uni form amount of fruit is borne. Weather conditions play an .impor tant part in the amount of fruit pro duced during the summer and autumn. Only when the moisture supply and other climatic conditions are favorable ca'ni the yield be constant. For this reason the results obtained from the everbearing varieties have varied greatly in the different sections of the country and in different years. If a long dilought occurs while the plants are fruiting, the berries become small and the plants finally cease to bear. Therefore they are not too well adapt ed to sections having long droughts e'-cent when irrigation can be sup plied. 0 TERRITORIES PRODUCE MORE The two million people in Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico, and Guam are trying to do their pert for the food supply. Through its experiment sta tions in these possessions the United States Department of Agiiculture ear ly in the emergency started cam paigns to increase food production. To make the territories less dependent upon the mainland of this country for their supplies is the aim of the Fed eral wvorkers. Important results al readly haev been obtained. Porto Rico wvhich formerly imported more than $800,000 worth of beans annually from the mainland now is in a position to export this prodluct. The Alaska stations have greatly increas ed the areas sown to grains and now are able to meet increased dlemandls for seedl grains locally adlapted. The Guam station is dlistributing larger quantities of seedls and plants for cul tivation by the natives, with pros pects of an increasedl prodaction of food. Hawvaii also has materially in creased its prodluction of food crops. Before the war Hawaii and Porto Rico imported some $20,000,000 worth of food supplies from this country an nually. Many of the articles inmportedl can be grown successfully in these islnands.

THE world shortage of farm products means continued high prices for everything your land can produce. Plant more acreage this year and make each acre produce, more. Now is the time to use Manure-the cheapest fertilizer. The following comparison of the plant food value in commercial fer tilizer and manure bears evidence that it is to your interest from a cost standpoint to use Manure on your land.

Manure will show results for three years, and its cost divided through this period will show a much lower cost per unit of plant food than any other fertilizer on the market. Car Lots a Snecialty.

It contains no objectionable matter such as trash, dirt, obnoxious grass seeds, etc.; oat straw is the only bedding used, and the Manure naturally contains a small quantity, but not sufficient to make it objec tionable. As a matter of fact, it is worth more than its weight, on ac count of its high value of potash, which makes it more valuable as a fer tilizer.
