Bum Strawberry Leaves. Now that the strawberry crop has been gathered is the proper time for mowing the leaves of the plants as low as possible with a scythe or mower, and letting them cure quickly, then raking them together within the rows and nuruing them. Straw should bo added if necessary to make enough, fuel to burn the leaves. This is the common method of the most practical straw beny growers in surpressiug insect pests and plant diseases, and re newing the old strawberry rows or bods, which should also be properly cultivated and hoed. It is for this reasou that otace wo logist H. A. Surface replied, from Ilarrisburg, to one of the ustruc tors in the Pennsylvania School of Horticulture for Women, say ing. "The best method of getting rid of the leaf curler on straw berries is to mow the leaves now, which is just after the harvest, and burn them ns soon as possi ble. Some persons throw a little straw between the vines, and mow the leaves, rake them on to the straw and bum them. This gets rid of both plant disease germs and insects, and I recom mend it as proper. It is prac ticed by some of our best berry growers." GHOST HOLLOW. Rev. Marks, of Philadelphia gaveavry interesting talk on the Anti-saloon League last Sun day night. Everybody enjoyed being there.
