"A vl"teF lor strawberry Growers.
1t is about time the strawberry
growers of the South are giving close
attention to one point that is often
overlooked says Prof. Van Deman. We
all know how determined many vari-
cites of Strawberries are to set plants
if the conditions are favorable to their
growth. This is all very well, within
reason but there often comes a time
when they set unreasonably Well This
we must not allow if we want to get
big berries, and those are really the
only ones that pay to gather. 1t is
berries that we want and not plants
Six inches is close enough to let plants
set in the matted rows, and these
should not be more than twenty
inches or two feet wide.
In cultivating, the runners that are
long enough to be in the way and be
dragged along in line with the rows
should not all be allowed to root as
they are left by the cultivator, but
placed where they are really needed
so as to make an even stand over
the matted row. After this is done
so there are enough plants, no more
should be allowed to set in that space
If possible to prevent it. Instead of
giving the attention to the space he
lNN6H the IONS, where no plants are
desired, let it alone for almost two
months, unless it is likely to get very
weedy or grassy, and give the atten-
ton to the bearing rows. Use fork

used to pull loose, dig up or drag the
runners toward the open spaces be-
tween the rows. If they are cut off.
others will come, but this may be
necessary sometimes. The plants that
set in the middles will do no harm
and will be destroyed in due time.
When fall weather comes and the
runners are about done starting out
from the main plants the plows and
cultivators should be set to work in the
middles and the bearing rows trim
med down to two feet wide, or less
These middles should be kept perfect
ly clean until growth stops. If a light
mulch or prairie hay or something
that has little weed seed in it is APP
piled over the plants they Will repay
the cost in clean berries when the
fruiting season comes.

Probably three-fourths of all straw
berries are grown in this way, but
progressive fruit growers are fast find
ing out that It is a mistake. 1t is
only justifiable when the land is too
poor to grow them in other ways.
Make rows four feet apart, and set
plants Is to "A inches in the row. Let
the cultivator go in the same direc-
ton every time. so as to throw the
runners around without tanglng them,
and as they root. narrow UP the Gull
tiVator.
The objections to the fulI-matted
row are that when the row is full, a
strip of ground some twenty inches
wide is left around the plants which
cannot be cultivated. The crust forms
over this excluding the air from the
roots and soil, and the water draws up
to the surface so the roots are dried
out and injured. If the top of the
ground is dry, the runners will not
send down their shoots, but continue
TO live on the mother plant, forming
several plants around in the wind and
does not take root until the fall rains
come, and then it has no time to make
and perfect the fruit buds and roots.
and so the next season cannot bring
its berries to full size and maturity.
If the ground is rich the plants will
mat so thickly that sunlight is exclud-
ed from the lower foliage and the
crowns. Fruit buds which will not
form in dense shade will be lacking
Many of the berries are too small to
pick and ro- on the vines and sap the
vitality of the plant. thus preventing
the better berries from growing to fun

The true cOllard belt in the South

NEW
COPPER
MINE
w. L. Ingram and W. H.
Ramsey Make a Strike
Mineral Hitherto Unknown in
Oregon Found in Josephine

(From the Grants Pass Observer
w. l.. Ingram and w. II. Ramsey
two miners of the Slate Creek dis
trict have added another important
copper discovery to Josephine county
by an extensive find Of that metal in
their district. On high mountain
ridge overlooking Slate Creek an 80
foot ledge of copper has been uncov-
cred by these miners. The big vein
extends entirely through the noun
tain, as outcroppings and prospect
tunnels on each side prove. The
great ledge lies in contact Of ser
pentine; in fact, the whole mountain,
aside from the copper groupings, is
serpentine. The values of the vein
on the surface show a high per cent
of copper over the summit of the
mountain above the ledge great rocks
OF gossan rise many feet in height.
The discovery is one of considerable
Importance.
The new find is directly on a line
with the noted Preston peak and
Waldo copper mines, and without
question is a northerly extension OF
the same mineral belt, though it Is
located twenty miles north of any oI
the Waldo mines and in the north
western corner of the county.

greater ones which socialism would
imply. should conditions so shape
themselves as to allow no middle
ground to stand.upon.
Socialism at best is a vague and un-
tried theory, based on untenable prem
ises-a string of airy nothings, with
out a habitation or a name that as
sures the possibility of conditions on
earth that can be brought about only
when mankind are fitted for heaven
and get there.
The trust system means financial
feudalism. in which all the interests
OF one vocation are unified in the
struggle for existence, IL that term
may be employed, against the unified
interests Of another, just as the feud-
al lords of other days marshalled their
retainers around the rights and priyi-
leges they assumed to possess.
The individual will be lost in the
shuttle, being merely a unit in the
combination to which he belongs, we'd
ded to it's purpose for his daily bread
and looking forward to the day when
economic conditions will force the dis
solution of the combines, and inde-
pendent activities again command the
energies of the progressive man.
Socialism, on the other hand, would
introduce a radical and untried change
in the conditions of civilization that
would perpetually bury the Individual
under a so-called community of inter
ests, and rob ambition of the possi
bility of independent achievement in
any walk of life.
Between these two extremes-thC
Republican party that would enthronC
the trusts and the proposed new party
that would introduce the vagaries o.
socialism-is the organized democracy

erty, and which stands for the rule

That the labor convention in Den
yer should show marked tendencies
along the lines of socialism, and af-
ford encouragement to a new political
movement with that idea for its OBJ
jective point, is not at all surprising
to one who realizes that an extreme in
one direction will always produce an
extreme in another.
An era of combinations Of capital in
restraint Of trade, of trusts concern
ing the food markets of the world and
regulating the supply and price, of po-
lltical manipulation subversive Of the
rights of man, and calculated to de
stroy the principle of equality before
the law, breed a spirit of resenting
against the existing order of things
from which another extreme is born.
The Republican party, through its
policy of high protection and special
privileges to the few, has builded into
the political structure of our country
condition of affairs that is rapidly
destroying that which is known as
the middle classes, making the trades
man and the professional man and
the mechanic servants to the aims
and purposes Of the trust--human ma
