'Black Plastic' is
Not Weather-Proof
Madison, Wis. (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.

Editor's note: From re
mote East Pakistan cams
reports of a faquir, or Mos
lem religious man, who wa
able to cure -the incurably
ill. 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.

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.
