(UPD A small-fruit specialist at the University of Wisconsin re ports that "black plastic" used as mulch in strawberry beds will not stand up in severe weather. George Klingbeil said the plastic sheets must be well anchored against the wind. The sheets are cut so that the L plants can be pulled through and cover the ground, smoth ering weeds and helping to hold moisture. He said that most growers prefer establishing runner plants in a strawberry bed stead of the plastic.

United Press Interna tional correspondent A. G. Hazari travelled hundreds of miles, mostly by country boat, to find out about it.) By A. G. HAZARI Dacca, East Pakistan (TPD Each day on a hillock five miles from here a young faquir sits beneath a banyan tree and bids hundreds of weary old men, lame beggars and palsied women to drink the 'curative" waters of a waist-deep mudoV pond. The faqir, a 20-year-old, un impressive looking ex-boatman, squats restlessly near his bamboo hut, waving his hands nervously at the crowd without saying a word. A small sign, written in Bangali, hangs on the side of the hut: . "We all depend on Allah. He who comes the first day shall wish in his mind what ever he has to and then come tomorrow for the water. After that come every alternate day for a week, then twice a week. After that, if not cured there will be 110 cure for him." A two-mile-long column of men and women weaves to ward the hut through the green fields. These pilgrims have come to he headquarters of a hew Moslem religious man who, they are told, can cure them of blindness, acute stomach pains, tuberculosis and leprosy. 'All carry small bottles to be filled with dirty water from the pond where the faqir daily pitches in vast quanti ties of fruit which his fol lowers have brought him. Along the way, I found small shops which had shot up overnight to sell food and drink to the pilgrims. I saw the exposed food stuffs, the lepers, the carrion birds, the mongrel dogs and the flies which inevitably accompany such road-side places. ' Is a modern miracle taking ! M M IIIUMV ? !

Cures All place or is this some more Himalayan humbug with which this sub-continent has been long familiar? Reports have it that an old man now can see hazily through his formerly sightless eyes and that his wife was cured of her terrible itching. Stories were many but none could be con firmed. Fraud or not, the faqir does not charge any fees and has refused many presents offer ed him by '"cured patients." He eats fruit sparingly at night and rarely speaks ex cept when a photographer levels a camera at him. '"Don't photograph me. It will harm you," he shouts and hurries inside his hut. According to a neighbor, the faqir, who is known as Farvish Akmal, was a quiet, meditative youth w'ho lost his mind two years ago and wan dered off. Last November he returned and sat beneath the banyan tree for more than a month. Word went around that he had a mysterious stone which he ordered cast into the pond. He then asked people to drink from the waters to cure their incurable diseases and to ful- 1 fill their unfulfilled desires. Now they come from . all j over, the poor and rich, the j ignorant and the educated, to ! make a pilgrimage to the dirty pond alongside the ban yan tree. Buckhorn Mineral Springs Ashland, Ore.
