II NJ Cit Is the universal rule almost
to start a bed Of asparagus by planting
out either one or two-year old roots. These
can b. procured from a number OF grow
ers who make IL a business to supply
plants. Ono-ycar-old roots can BE- had
from s. 20 10 81 per 600 TO- TO 75c per 100
These roots can be set out In the South
any time from November 20 March The
plants should be set fifteen 20 twenty
inches apart In the row. and where there
Is more than one row the distance be-
tween the rows should be a. or feet
apart 4 broad furrow six inches dseD
should b. made. and when the plants are
received tho roots should be- pruned back
10 a length OF three or four Inches all
around In setting. the ROOFS should be
spread evenly Ia the furrow, Some soil
thrown on and pressed nrmly to them.
Then add some ground bone and ashes.
double handful OF the mixture 60 each
plant ON the furrow can be filled In with
any good old compost free from weed or
gruss seeds
The plants viii start into growth as
soon as the ground begins 90 warm up
IN March or April IL should not be cut
the first year. and very ltttle the second
year unless 2-ycar-old roots arc planted.
In that case IL can b. cut quite freely the
second year Conovcrs Colossal Is
standard kind and good enough. but there
are other kinds. such as Palmetto.
Bars Moore's. They all dame from the
same source and there Is very little diff
ference in kinds High culture viii make
any roots produce large shoots
As q rule. cutting should not extend
much over three weeks.
The plants should be well cultivated the
hrst year. and through the second sum
mer also hut the cultivation should be
shallow. Every year the weeds should
Be kept down during the year until the
blooming season anyhow. II 10 not difii-

ABSURD STATEMENT.

One of the most absurd and mis-
leading statements ever made by an
Iowa newspaper is the following
from the Newton American:
1.-THE fall of the Ottumwa Press is
an evidence of the unpopularity of
Imperialism. The people are not
giving hearty support to newspa-
pers that are continually thrusting the
knife into the Declaration of Inde-
pendence and whooping it up for
monarchial principles. Years ago
the Press was money maker, but it
was>a very different paper then from
what it is now"
So-called imperialism" had no
more to do with the financial trou-
bles of the Ottumwa Press than the
editor of the American has had to do
with the war in South Africa.
The Weekly Press was for years a
successful paper and might have
continued so if it had not been
weighted down with daily edition
in field already covered by an old
and established paper. It costs
money-piles of it to get out a
daily paper, and when there is no
demand for the same it is up against
a proposition that brighter minds
than the fellow who spenned the
above paragraph have been unable
to solve. Comparisons are odious,
but if the American will just turn its
field glass on thelCourier it will see
one Of the most successful tnewspa-
pers in Iowa and property that is
growing.more valuable daily without
the aid or consent of the Newton
American or any other calamity
sheet on earth.
