KV HAIMIY HTKlWIIKIUtY Strawberries In almost continuous upply I'rniii early summer until frost occurs art- now a possibility for truckers and home gardeners In the Northern Stated. "Everbearing" varieties developed by growers In re vent years from long-fruiting plants of short reason types and from hy brids havo passed a successful trial period, and now recommended by specialists of the United States De partment of Agriculture for planting. The best varieties and culture prac tices somewhut different from the culture of common strawberries are described In a publication which haH Just appeared from the Depart ment of Agriculture, Farmers' Ilul- letln 001, "Kverbcarlng Strawber ries." Iteslstiint to IHsra-c llesldes their long fruiting stason, some of the new varieties are very hardy and resistant to disease. The southern boundury of the territory in which the everbeurlng types can lie grown most successfully Is de.icrl bed by the specialists as the northern part-t of Virginia, Kentucky, Arkan sas, and Kansas. South of these Urn Its points may be found where they will grow with some degree of suc cess, it is said, but they are not defi nitely known to thrive there. The two leading varieties of the everbearing types are the Progressive and the Suberb. The progressive has been found to with stand the winters of the Middle West better than most other varieties ex cept the Dunlup, one of its parents. The Superb also Is hardier than most of hogs especially declined, due to the fact that the heavy feeders have been practically exhausted and the lighter animals are being pushed onto the market. At a meeting of food administra tors of a number of states recently was the unanimous decision, after surveying the situation carefully, that a concerted effort must be made to Increase the breeding hogs and cattle, and each state represented In the conference was given Its per cent of Increase to be attained. But It Is right at this point that the difficulty Is encountered. The high prices have not only caused tho immature animals to be sacrificed hut thousands of valuable females have also been slaughtered which should have been kept on tho farms. There Is not a particle of doubt that the country Is alarmingly short of breeders There Is but one remedy. No owner of hogs or cattle should sell or kill females capable of reproiluc lug their kind. This should be made an Iron-clad rule on the farms and randies of this country for some time to come. Certain It is that If the past, or even the present rate of consumption of females Is con tinued for another twelve months, the country will face something lit sn i i; CREEK ITKMH. Mr. and Mrs, W. B.
