Profits From Everbearing
Strawberries
In late Ajjril, 1913, I set out one dozen Progres
sive Everbearing strawberries which increased to
890 plants that I set out in 1914, says J. K. Capen in
Farm and Home. In 1915, I had about 10,000" plants
on hand. I then selected a plat of ground of 70
square rods and set about 4,500 plants. This land
was fall plowed, top dressed in the spring and dress
ing drilled in and well tended.
We began selling from this field July 14, and
during that month sold $9.39 worth. August, $84.66,
September $152.85, October. $8.88, and then a heavy
frost the 8th took everything total, $255.78. We
shipped the berries in 24-pint cases to Minneapolis,
a distance of 185 miles. They are a rather delicate
berry and require careful handling. This is my first
experience with fall varieties, but I intend putting
out about 15,000 plants this spring.

PEOPLE'S PULPIT
Do not submit manuscript*
with request* that they ,be re­
turned if not uaed. The Courier
will not return them.
fiditor The Courier: Here are some
reasons why I oppose Woman Suf
frage:
Because I believe that the great non
partisan influence of good women
molds public opinion and assists in the
government. With the ballot this influ
ence of the intelligent woman would
be destroyed by the overwhelming
ignorant vote and also by party poli
tics.
Because to use the ballot effectively
one must engage in politics, clean or
otherwise.
While all women might not mingle
in politics, some must do so tr~ else
the votes would be ineffective. It taketf
time and strength to be in the game.
It is not a woman's game. It will take
time, study and thought if we are to
vote intelligently. We do not feel that
we have the extra strength for these
burdens.
Because I believe that the great ma
jority of women do not want suffrage,
less than ten per cent of the women in
Iowa are asking for it.
Because, women already have free
dom of expression, ability to organize
and discuss problems. They^have all
the privileges of higher education and
all this progress has come without the
aid of the woman's ballot. Because 1
believe the woman's national task is to
make the .home and prepare the citi
zens. Child's greatest heritage is a
good mother. Women who have no
children stilL. have all the privileges of
home making and more time for com
munity service and social betterment.
I think a^ woman should have a hob
by, but why not take music, art, liter
ature, btrd life or some other study
that.will not be demoralizing. These
subjects are inexhaustible.
The relative relation of woman to
government has- long been an accept
ed fact by the Anglo-Saxon race she
has not been a separate part, but a
part of the accepted whole, and
whereas laws have been made tor
man the term has been comprehensive
and embraced woman—nay, the "letter
of the ,law, hard and unrelenting/ has
been- applied by man to man, but the
spirit of the law, the lenient interpre
tation, has been by man applied to
woman. Her sex alone has been her
prosecutor, man her defender, and as
her relations as ivy to the oak has
been fallowed, always have the sturdy
branches of the masculine tree pro
tected her.
We were led to look at other coun
tries and their attitude toward wom
en in granting the vote. Oh! sad com
parison. Should Finland be held up to
us, or Denmark, or New Zealand?
These are but pigmies in the giant
growth of circulation and granted that'
Finland had woman suffrage in 1906,
its population is only three-eighths of
the population of one state in this
country. There is a predominance of
women in Finland, 3 per cent more
women than men, 13 per cent more
women in the cities, so that woman's

Mrs. A. T. Gardner.
Editor The Courier:
Having heard the suffragette ques
tion presented by Mrs. Catt. I came
away with a feeling that the cause
had an able defender and champion,
as far as ladylike presentation is con
cerned, but lacked in the- vital appli
cation of the expediency of the vote
for woman. I may be of the old fash
ioned type, but I have never seen a
setting where woman shone as beau
tifully as in the home, the place ap
pointed of God for her protection and
where her position and domestic re
lations make her the queen, and man
the Supporter of her throne. There
Bhe can shine as no where else, there
her influence can be exerted until un
consciously she becomes the wielding
influence of the noblest conditions. It
is not the woman's ballot at the polls
that will reform society and cleanse
politics, but her womanly God given
powers, which if rightly used can
weld the powers of man in harmony
with her own ideal., lofty or other
wise. By nature God has fitted her
for that position holding within itself
the greatest possibilities for the hu
man race. Man may impart the seed
of life, but woman stamps the soul
with the birth mark of destiny.
