Preservative method for wood silos urged
The United States Department of Agriculture recommends coal tar creosote as a timber preservative and says brush, dip, or spray methods are inadequate. The best durability comes from pressure treatment in a closed retort, after which timber can last indefinitely. Purchasers should verify pressure treatment for permanence.

Mulching Strawberries for Winter Protection
Winter mulching is essential for strawberries to prevent frost heaving and sunburn. Frost lift and thaw damage on exposed crowns cause plant loss, while sun exposure after thawing shrivels foliage. Snow helps but is unreliable. straw over snow can shield crowns, while shelter belts and hedges aid snow retention. An added note describes a new manually adjustable fence wire stretcher with a one handed drum rotation feature.

The device mounts to a fencepost with a chain anchored frame and uses a crank driven drum with a pawl to prevent backward rotation. A slot in the frame accepts a chain to tighten wires, while a side handle shifts tension during winding. For ground work a removable crank and bar in the drum axle allow operation.

Lime on bone meal plots gave greater effects than acid phosphate, while complete fertilizers with phosphorus also increased yields. Mrs. William R. Willis and Mrs. Nettie Ryan travel to Strasburg Virginia for Bridgers evangelistic services.
