' .1 What more can be said on the Question of . strawberry . culture Vb we have already heard? With - slight variation all growers pursue the same general method J plant Vas early as the ground can be pre- pared in spring; cultivate .with feither five or s seven point one horse cultivator. 4 If raising for frait only, keep runners cut off. TJse the hoe freely, to keep down weeds and grass in the hills. As Hhe season advances and signs of i drouth appear. follow cultivation with float. When bloom appear, eome think best' to keep further away from plants, but all agree that from now on till fruiting sea wson Is over that shallow cultiva tion is the proper course to purr sue. After cutting tops, and. re moving and burning y the vines, -A cultivation should' be deeper, and as frequent . as. seven to ten days A fepart. Each operation should be followed by the float very closely. Jt is probably best with large acre l age to plant .in checks so as to cul tivate both ways. . This plan saves expense In hoeing, as it requires X much less than in the ope way method,-but will not produce as much tonnage to the acre as the mated row, and where land Is valuable and taxes high, It is. well to keep this in mind. . 'y Should you' need plants for the good results both ways, fruit and plants by. letting the runners go till they begin to take root,; then with some sharp tool cut them free from the parent plant. " This method applies more particularly to: one way- cultivation. - . Watching An Experiment X am watching with much inter est one of my neighbors, (an ama teur grower) who rejects the idea that tops should be cut off. . His variety is 121, cultivated both ways on well drained clover ground, and they certainly do look good ' now. In our neighborhood we have had no trouble with weevil. The crown borer does some damage as the plants age. I In our bailiwick we! all use the Ettersburg lzi, and I have i a small patch that has been in bearing: six years, and wilt bear again this year. I have found a new enemy the past season. He looks like an old fashioned grub worm, only much larger, and after eat lng: the roots from one hill, he tacklea the next one, and. if not found and destroyed, he soon leav es Quite a bare; spot. ; Has any other grower met with this gentle man?

RUSSIAN CITY IS HIT Br HARD UPHEAVAL Melancholy Reigns in Kazan of Tartary, Once Thriv ing City of Wealth ; KAZAN, Tartar Republic, Rus sia, Nov. 11 (AP) Nowhere In Russia is the blighting influence of the Russian revolution . seen more strikingly than in Kazan capital of the newly-created Tar tar Republic and once One of the most prosperous cities in Europe. It death itself had overtaken the city, the ravages could have not been greater. The great factories are idle, the stores are empty and abandoned, the homes are crumb ling to ruins, and. the people seem stricken with hopelessness and despair." ' The granite and - bronze monu ments ; to Alexander the Second and other historical ' figures of Russia have .been wrecked and replaced with harsh Communistic figures u of workmen. From all flagpoles the red flag of the rev olution flies. To many it is only the -grim reminder of the spiritu al death of the city, which has been in Russia's possession since the days of Ivan the Terrible. The commercial life of Kazan Is at a standstills Half of the population, finding conditions In tolerable, have left for neighbor ing cities which promise a better existence.' The roadways are bo little used that grass and weeds are growing in the crevices be tween the paving-stones. Many of the stores are eithvr sputtered or windowless.

(AP.J More than ; a quarter-million men. received some, degree of in tensive military . training under War Department -supervisio'n last summer. The exact number was shown in -reports now before Ma jor General John L. Hines, chief of staff, was 275,630, of whom 23, 250 were officers and the remaind er enlisted personnel. The period of training ranged. from 15 days for the national sruard . and or ganized. reserves to three months of concentrated activity for the regulars who compose the instruc tor t and - demonstration . force around which work of the civlllon soldiera was centered. The bulk of the training was in the national guard camps where a total of 156,515 men and offic ers were in attendance. The turn oat of brgani2t2r reserves amount ed to 8,705, of whom all but 492 were officers; The reserve offi cers training corps contributed 7,012 to the grand total, and the citizens military training camps 33,983 bringing the total number of men to be graduated from these camps since they were first .es tablished on a post-war bass up to 70,000. Of. particular Importance in the summer training to the new na tional : defense--policy is the an nual product of ; the reserve off I cers training Scorps and the civil ian military training camps in sec ond lieutenants for the mainten ance of the officers reserve corps. These two branches of the train ing establishment afford practi cally the only, source for replace ments-; and new blood for the reserve officers organization, which now numbers 82,240" men oh war "department rolls. .

Salem's Progressive Newspaper if 000 young men must' come ' into the corps annually as second lieu tenants if it is to be kept at ade quate strength and -the reserve of ficers training corps is expected ultimately to produce 7,000 of these young reserve officers a year, the other 3,000 to come from the citizen , camps, regular army, national guard and other sources. There are in the colleges and schools of the country 325 units of the reserve officers training corps with a total enrollment at the close of the last school year of 103,934 under Walhing. From this source .in the last five years up to September 4 of this year, a total of 9,817 second lieutenants had been commissioned in the re serve corps. The reports show, that in the 29 j civilian training camps held this year the attendance was the maximum which could be ad mitted and cared for with funds available to the war department for the purpose. The number ac tually at the' camps, 33.983 for 30 days, was a big Increase over last year, while the number of applications received amounted to 53,000. Of that number, 44.000 proved to have the physical and other qualifications necessary for admission, so .that approximately 10,000 youngstrs were disappoint ed in their hope to go through a" training camp coarse last summer. Recruiting ior the camps was shut down some weeks before the camps themselves were opened and it is the judgment of officers in various corps areas In charge of the work that . 7 5 ,0 0 0 . applica tions at least would have been re ceived except for this fact. -The ultimate goal set' in army ' plans for the training camps is to put 100,000 boys a year through the courses and" from graduates who attend the cam pa for three succes sive years to draw a substantial number of; recruits for the offic ers reserve corps to 1 ' supplement the output ,of the reserve officers training corps. - Vl ' ; A phase of the organized reserve corps work during the summer to which; the war department at taches particular importance is the application for the first time of the principle , of unit training to these organizations. Under that practice a very considerable num ber of reserve officers assigned to specific units of, the organized re serve were giveir the opportunity to get together j with "their com rade officers' of the same units and to function as a team under their own officers in dealing with mob ilization problems such as redemp tion; organization.- equipment and preliminary training of the ; men they would command in war. The defense day test, on the face of official reports from all over the country, served to bring out sharply the benefit of this unit training scheme; war depart ment officials- say. , The striking success of that test, from a pure ly military point if view, it is stated, lay in the efficiency die played by these groups of reserve Officers in handling . the limited mobilization in their own areas and also In the great interest they manifested themselves! and suc ceeded in awakening, among their neighbors in what-was going on. .
