to better tillage by devoting their energies to the develop ment of fruit instead of useless runners.
 The assumption that one plant is just as good as another for the purpose of propagation is no more true than that one animal of a certain breed is just as good as any other. It does make difference as to how they are bred to develop good qualities. Strawberry plants propagate themselves sexually, or by seeds, and asexually, or by runners. When grown from seeds they receive two parental impress sions just the same as an ani. nal, and may take q greater impression from one parent than the other and so we can never be sure of the kind of fruit or foliage we are going to get. Not one fthese seedlings in ten thousand will equal our standard varieties, because the latter have been culled from hundreds of thousands of seed lings, or found by chance Tn some out-of-the- way place where the seed happened to fall.

THE SCIENTIFIC GROWING OF THE STRAWBERRY

The following article was written by R. M. Kellogg, of Three Rivers ] Mich, for the Special Strawberry /, Number of The Southwest, from which paper it is taken.
 The great Southwest Is loom ing up wonderfully as fruit growing section and rapidly in. troducing modern methods. 1 The North wants your early berries, not only in car lots but train load lots and will pay you a good price to get them If they possess the desired quality, but will not accept in ferior fruit in such quantities at a price which will justify you to grow 1t.
 The difference growing, say, l ,000 bushels of strictly fancy berries and the common Der rIes you are now sending out, Is not so great as you imagine. The express charges, however, are just the same on both lots. There must be a change in the method of growing berries as we'll as a better understanding of the laws of nature in plant life which govern the develop ment of fruit.
 You are setting and cnltivat- ing too many acres for the amount of fruit you are getting. You must concentrate your eff forts on fewer acres, fertilize better, cultivate better and pro pagate your plants in such a manner that they will respond

l: badly deformed. Some on : has prophesied that We shoul soon have seedless berries be <; cause the banana and som oranges and other fruits grov | without seeds. These bay, 1, been propagated asexually, O by buds, so long that they hay,
 lost their habit of seed forma ton and are only freaks, bu ' they serve 10 prove the argu
 ment that l have long advanced that fruitfulness could be large ly increased or decreased by ! good or bad propagation. Nc one has ever yet seen a large luscious strawberry unless the potency Of pollen was strong ana healthful as well as tht plstll and receiving fluid O stigma. The passion of plants Ito breed by seeds (which are only the plants eggs) is as strong as that of any auima and if not held under restric tion by pruning they breed themselves into impotency 1T an incredibly short time, and this is especially true of straw berries.
 It will not do to remove bios. sons year after year and never allow plants to fruit, because il IS we'll understood that whether in plant or animal life physi cal power never exercised will soon be lost. They must be allowed to develop berries tc strengthen their ability Tn this direction, but must no more bt allowed to fruit to excess than you would allow valuable stock animal to breed exces sively. l speak now of the plant for purposes of propoga tion. When a plant becomes exhausted it then multiplies ltss species by producing run ners. Sometimes such plants produce bloom in great profu sion, but at harvest the berries are deformed, small and have many blanks.
 We cannot cut all anlmal in pieces aud grow several ami. mals from him, because he con- talns only one individual life germ, while the tree and plant is not only an individual as a whole, but the protoplasm which Prof. Gray describes as that stuff in which the princi, pie of life resides," Is found ln all the nodes and internodes of tho branches and often the roots of the tree, and it is fol this reason We are able to prop ogate by runners, cuttings, gratis, etc.
 Plants propogated in this way are children of one parent, and receiving but one impress they bear fruit, as a rule very closely resem bling the plant from which they are taken, and ye. when placed under changed conditions the greatest variations often take place.
 Variation is enc of the great laws of nature. No two blades of grass or anything else ever grew were exactly alike Some times these bud variations are so great as to constitute entire ly new varieties.
 In Horticulture the number ol new varieties produced in this way Is very large and cases in fruit go we'll up Into the hun dreds and will become more , numerous when fruit growers understand and begin to look out for them. ""e often find q branch of an apple tree bearing fruit differing widely from oth CT branches, and this may be increased by propogating iron , that branch. So Tn this way , we may greatly improve yarie ties by continuously propogat ing from perfect plants and those which vary in the righr direction. Every fruit grower ' should be constantly on tn. . lookout for such plants and
The Springdale news., 1899-03-24

when 10unQ q part Of the DlCOu should be removed to prevent exhaustion, and the fruiting yield constantly renewed from these perfect and vigorous plants.
 The present custom of taking plants from alongside of the wide matted row is very bad It should never be done. These plants are often the last to form in the fall and they have immature roots and their fruit buds are not fully developed and are easily destroyed in winter by freezing, causing them to remain blank, which discourage fruit bud formation Tie roots being immature and stand alone without protection from the foliage of other plants the frost weakens the roots and so they perish in transplant ing, leaving long vacancies in the TOW of the new plantation. Then again plants lose their habit of fruiting by propoga- ting in densely crowded beds. Experiments show that strong fruit buds will not form where the sun does not shine on the crown. We notice that an isO- lated plant droops in foliage in all directions, fully exposing the fruit buds to the light. A plant cannot asslmilate its food except it's leaves are exposed to sunlight, and as the sub stance which forms the fruit must all first go to the leaves to be digested, this cannot be accomplished in even moderate shade.
 Plants also lose their fruit bud forming habit by being propagated on land especially rich in nitrogen, and low land with quick sand subsoil, which keeps the water near the sur face. The plants become whey, and while they will form millions of plants to the acre, so they can be sold at very low prices, yet when transplanted to the fruiting field they carry this habit with them, and in- stead of berries you get only runners.
 For reasons stated above the wide matted row must be abandoned by all who expect to grow strictly fancy fruit Each plant must have its own room, sunlight and root pastur age.
 In the wide matted row the plants are struggling for exist ence and constantly warning on each other. The surplus plants not only "pump" the water out or the ground, but being unable to cultivate this wide strip the crust forms, excluding the air from the roots, but capillary passages are perfect, so the water draws to the surface and is carried off by the sun and wind, so the ground dries out with great rapidity, and the usual spring drouth prevailing at about the time berries begin to ripen they are often greatly reduced in size for want of moisture.
 The ioeal way of growing berries is strictly in hills or stools. In this way all runners are kept cut off as fast as they appear. If the plant is in full fruit forming vigor when a run. ner is cut a new fruit bud and crown will form and roots will
 
 increase and force their way farther down and spread out in search of food to sustain it un. til they attain wonderful size We have often had single plants grown in this way which could not be covered with a bushel basket without doubling up the foliage, from which over four quarts of berries were pick ed. If, however, the plants have the whey habit, when you cut a runner another will start in its place, and it often re quires the removal of several
The Springdale news., 1899-03-24

runners before new fruit bud
 will form.
 For hill culture the ground
 must be very rich or We cannot
 fully occupy the land. To SC.
 cure the largest yields we must
 have as many plants on the | ground as We can furnish sun. ishlne for and at the same time cultivate and gather the fruit.
 To set them any further apart Is a waste of land, and so if the ground is notvery rich they will not stool u2 enough.
 My fayorite way, and one, involving less labor, is to grow them in hedge row. The rows are set 30 10 36 inches apart and plants 24 to 30 in- ches Tn the Tow. The first run 1 ners are thrown around direct ly Tn line and allowed to root so the plants will stand about ten inches apart, when all the others are chipped of. For  this purpose 1 use the Planet Jr. rolling cutter, which can be attached 10 d eultiyator or to a garden wheel hoe.
 It Is the natural instinct of the plant to spread it's runners out where each new plant will be in full sunshine, and so large majority will be seen trying to cross the row. so that this wheel readily cuts them all off. In thls way the alleys furnish abundant root pasturage and and sunshine finds every leaf. We are able to cultivate nearly the entire surface so as to des. troy weeds and maintain the dust mulch and n fall we mulch heavily between rows with any straw We can buy cheaply and leave It until after the berries are picked, when it Is stirred up and all burned off to destroy insects aud fungi. Another great advantage of this method Is the berries are all large and even Tn size, are easily picked, look very beauti- ful in the box and command a ready sale at the highest price
 The plants, being sustained by an abundant rootage, are not so easily exhausted and we are able to pick at least three years and often four CT five. If the ground is not very rich I would grow i'll narrow matted rows, clipping runners after the row was a foot wide.
 If the ground was not rich enough to grow in any except matted row 1 would no: plant at all but SOW 1t to COW peas and blow under aud apply what manure l could. Mean time l would prepare a small propagating bed and grow my own plants for setting a year hence.
 W hen every body grows Der ries in this way then every body will grow twice as. many berries and every body eat twice as many. The low prices for fruit the last two years can easily be accounted for. For several years past general farming has scarcely paid expenses while berry growing has been profitable and farmers rushed into it without any knowledge of plant life and It's requirements. Conditions are now changed. General farming pays better and these profitless berry fields now over run with weeds are being plowed under so the com ing spring will see fewer berry fields than ever before. There is no question but the country is on the eve of great prosper ity Labor will be fully em- ployed and transportation com. panies are providing ideal con- diuons for distribution. Un- der these conditions the con- sumption of fruit will be some thing enormous and prices must rule high, but to gather the financial harvest you must go at 1t right.
