The New Strawberries.

Fifty varieties Of strawberries were
planted at the university fruit>farm last
spring, including the principal noyel-
ties offered during the past two years,
as we'll as sorts of proven excellence.
They were set in land cleared few
weeks before, on the crest of ridge.
The forest cover was varied and vigor-
Gus, indicating rich soil, and the
great majority of the plants have grown
very well. They have been we'll cult
waited and enough new plants have al
ready formed to make matted rows,
The most interesting observation
thus far made upon the strawberry
plants, is the variation in vigor and in
the amount of rust. Almost every new
variety that is introduced is sent out as
being ''rust proof" and every investor
in rust proof" strawberry plants, is
doomed to more or less disappointment.
In fact. the leaf rust varieties to q con-
siderable extent in different varieties,
but high culture and good soil are
much more apt to give healthy foliage
and strong plants than any inherent
power in variety to withstand rust.
Climatic conditions also have much to
do with the development of rust, and
the same plantation may be almost free
from it one season and badly infested
the next. 1t is we'll known, too that
the strawberry is peculiarly subject to
local conditions, and very few kinds
succeed uniformly over wide range of
territory.
Here at the university fruit farm
only one variety has thus far shown no
rust-Glen Mary. Among the newer
kinds in which very little rust has de-
veloped, the most vigorous are-Samp-
son, Bennett, Emperor, Morgan, Sena-
tor Dunlop, W. J. Bryan, Downing's s
Bride, Empress, Stones No. 1870. None
of these have fruited at the station, but
the plants are very satisfactory.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale OF any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system, and stop fermentation of undi-
gested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nerves and organic
action Of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses of Green's An.
gust Flower, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious
the matter with you. For sale by deal

Cow Peas in Hill Side Orchard

The experimental orchard of the
University of Tennessee occupies the
crest and northern slope of ridge.
The lower part of the slope had been
IN cultivation several years, and, as is
common in East Tennessee, the soil
washes quite badly. Glover had been
sown with oats last year, and when the
land was planted to orchard this spring
the young clover was not disturbed. 1t
came on very weedy, and during the
first week in July the orchard was
plowed, turning under the young clover
and weeds, After repeated discing and
narrowing all the old land was sown
broadcast with COW peas at the late of
five pecks per acre. The peas we're
covered with the disc harrow. The
peas came well, but were slightly check
ed by dry weather. The heavy rain of
July eth, brought them forward rapid
ly, and they are now foot high, COW
ering the ground completely. On July
3ist the tree rows were cultivated, a
distance of three feet on either side of
the row being cleared of peas. About
the first light frost, when the peas have
their growth for the season, they will
be plowed under and cover crop of
rye will be sown. Peas not only enrich
the ground with supply of nitrogen,
but on lands that wash badly, they
should be Of the greatest utility in ad-
ding humus to the soil, thus making it
less liable to wash.

INCLUDE ALL OFFICIALS.

Mr.. Richardson said the declaration
for constitutional amendment to elect
United States senator's by direct vote
of the people was no reason why q state
primary should be called. To wipe out
the action taken throughout the state
and order general primary would put
the candidates to enormous expense.
Why not include every state officer, the
secretary Of state, the comotroller and
librarian, and have a primary for all
state officers.
Mr.. Caldwell said harmony now pre-
vailed over the state. Primaries would
disorganize and ruin the party. The
committee should leave the settlement
Of the primary question to the counties.
Mr.. Everett said the question was as
to authority. That action should be
taken which was to the best interest OF
the party, regardless of candidates.
For the committee to order a primary
would be usurpation of power. The
counties were able to take care of the
matter 1t was the business of commit
tee to take care Of the nominees, and
not to lend itself to the interests Of any
candidate.
The roll was called and Mr. Mount
castles motion was rejected ayes 2
nays 13. Those voting for the primary
were Messrs. Mountcastle and Cox.

FAyoRs PRIMARY.

Mr.. Mountcastle said the argument
that there was no precedent was illogi'
cal If primaries were corrupt the re-
suits secured by primaries already held
were secured by corrupt primaries. In
some cases a single county in sena
torial district had given instructions
Lincoln had instructed the nominee
where Marshall had as much right tC
instruct. In Moore county instructions
had been given, when two other coun
ties had a voice. The United States
senator represented not only the couu
ties that sent democratic senators atC
representatives, but the people in cou.
ties that sentrepublicansas as well, whel'
democrats had no voice. A genera
primary would give them ,oice III TIA,
selection of United States senate
where they now had none. There wa
no reason to believe any county woul(
change its instructions except for goot
cause. He believed that there shoul,
be a general primary.

NO PRIMARY
State Committee Decides Against it by a
Vot, of Thirteen to Two.

Nashville, Aug. 11.-By a vote of l3
to the state democratic committee at
it's session today rejected the PROPOSE
tion to call general senatorial pri-
mary.
The committee met at the Tulane
headquarters and after transacting con-
considerable business took up the
primary matter.
Judge Snodgrass communication re-
questing a general state primary on the
senatorship was then read by the chair
man.
Mr.. Mountcastle, in order to get the
question before the committee, moved
that the committee call a general pri-
mary to settle the question as to who
should be the democratic nominee for
United States senator.
Mr. Richardson said such action
would be unauthorized and unprece-
NGulttl' II uuu DtCu SuSSCotSh ShI y
in the race that general primary
should be called, but not member of
the committee had taken any action.
The counties had proceeded in the
usual manner and Mr.. Carmack had
been virtually nominated by the coun-
ties that had acted so far, and now
Judge Snodgrass wanted to change the
plan. In his judgment, the committee
had no right to order primaries in coun-
ties that had not acted nor to vacate
the instructions already given. he
doubted the authority of the state com
mittee to order a primary. Primaries
that were not legalized were corrupt
and the action proposed would raise
such u storm as would compel the COM
mittee to rescind the action. He NOV
ed to table the motion.
