Akron's Soldiers Favor Fight

The possibility that the local militia
companies may be called to Cincin-
natl to prevent the prize fight, has
caused great deal of comment among
local soldiers. 1t is well known that
the authorities followe a policy of not
using home troops for trouble in any
town, and that removes the possibil-
ity that Cincinnati troops will be used
to prevent the fight, in case it is
found necessary to call out the militia.
This being decided, the Sixth and

careful attention. Some of the requi-
sites to success and methods used have
BEEN stated by the Geneva IN. " sta
ton, as follows:
The grower must have vigorous,
healthy plants to withstand the artifi-
cial conditions of forcing house life,
but he must not feed his charges too
richly or too heavily lest his harvest
prove nothing but leaves" until the
oncoming of Florida grown tomatoes
makes his ripening crop a proftless
one The problem he must solve is to
check growth sufficiently to cause ear
ly setting and ripening of fruit without
lesseIting the vigor necessary for a full
crop.
Various plans are used by growers to
accomplish these purposes. Some set
the plants in limited amounts of soil to
retard their growth until fruit is set,
then stimulate with commercial ferti-
lzers or liquid manure, others limit
root development by growing the
plants in pots or small boxes, and 9TH
ers check the growth of the main stem
by leading out the first shoot upon
each side.
From tests at the station mentioned
1t has been concluded that single stem
training is clearly superior to three
stem training for winter forcing of to-
matdes. The fruits on the single stem
p1a1FsS- are heavier and greater m 'nGn-
Der FLOR equal areas, so that the total
yiell per square foot Of bench surface
is decidedly larger. 1t was found also
that the amount of fruit ripened dur
ing the first six weeks of fruiting is
UGeh greater for the single stem
plants, although in many instances the
first fruits ripened were upon the three
stem plants.
In comparing plants grown in pots
and on bencbes very slight differences
were found when the plants were
trained to single stem, but with the
three stem system retaining the pots

Trout Without a Name,

Superintendent John W. Titcomh
received consignment of Canadian
red trout from Maskinonge County,
?. Q Saturday. The trout weigh
from X pound to two pounds each
and will be used for propagation pur-
poses. These trout are of the same
species that Mr.. Titcomb had at the
Pan.American exposition for com
parisOn with the aureolus trout of
Averill, which are identical with the
saibling trout of Sunapee, N. Fl. The
only difference discovered was that
the two latter have square tails while
the Canadian trout has a iorked tail.
Up to the time Of the comparison
at Buffalo ichthyologists believed
that the three were the same, and
now that a distinct difference has
been discovered the red trout of Can
ada are awaiting a name.-CaIe-
