An Expensive Method of Fighting Disease
We will now mention some of the
disadvantages in growing dewber-
ries in this section which add greatly
to the cost-caused by having to use
our own remedy, and the only rene
dy that has proven of any benefit to
us in combating the same fungus
disease which has been annoying us
so long. For several years after be-
ginning to grow dewberries We were
greatly discouraged and we were on
the eve of giving up the business as
we had formerly done the grape and
the Wilson blackberry. Just then we
discovered by experiments that if all
of the growth, young and old, was
cut close to the ground and burned
Immediately after the crop was
shipped (Which operation should be
completed by the 18th of july. then
plow and manure promptly and keep
up thorough cultivation until the
18th of September, other canes could
be grown which would bear salts
factory crop the following June, and
thereby practically eXtermlnate the
much dreaded fungus disease. For
ten years or more we have had to
bear this extra expense because the
Agricultural Department cannot or
will not give US a better or cheaper
remedy. The first growth or canes
which are cut and burned would be
stronger, larger, and bear more fruit,
and possibly better fruit, with con-

labor-saving implements and ma
chinery And let no man say he
cannot afford to buy the improved
tools. 1t is fatal economy saving
at the spigot and wasting at the
bunghole. What sort of economy,
for instance, for the man who re-
fuses to buy a modern cotton plant
er, But has one man open the furrow,
another strew the fertilizer through
a trumpet, another drop the seed,
and another cover them? It is just
such economy CD as this that has
kept the South poor, while Northern
and Western farmers with less labor
but better machinery, have grown
richer and richer.

about what quantity to expect per
acre. But when we undertake to
reckon on the price we are complete
ly at sea. Dewberries, like other
fruits, vary greatly in price, and the
average always ranges so low that
none of our growers have grown
wealthy or improved their condition
very much. The net average after
deducting expenses of picking,
crates, railroad charges, and commits
sions range from Is cents to $1.25
per crate-oftener than otherwise
from 80 cents to $1.OO. We can
safely calculate on an average of 60
crates to the acre, and when we net
$1.OO per crate, after deducting ship
ping expenses as mentioned, we think
that the profit is as much or more
than we could obtain from any other
crop.

fruits and staple crops: the best re-
suits may be expected from good
land, thorough cultivation, and lib
eral manuring.

Prepare stakes during early fall to
stake all that have been planted the
previous winter or spring; these

Department to back them with
money, chemists. and chemicals.

Every season Southern farmers
complain bitterly about the lack of

that we have more labor than any
other section of the country. The
trouble is that we do not use enough

or by the 18th of March, set stake
by each hill y to IA inches deep. As
quickly as possible after buds begin
to swell, (Which is about March 18th
in this section), take up the canes,
using gloves, tie to stake, three
strings being sufficient for canes
when they are or feet long. Cut
off ends of canes when they reach be-
yond top of the stakes.
The following June about half of
a crop may be expected. The num-
Der of crates per acre after the first
years fruiting ranges from 40 to 80
to the acre, according to circumstan-
ces and conditions.
Shipping the Berries.
The number and length of the
canes to the hill governs the number
of crates per acre; they never fail
to produce bountiful crop. Ship
ping begins about the 10th of June,
and the crop is all shipped by the
2Sth. We use the 32-quart straw
berry crate. and ship by fast freight
in refrigerator cars and by express
to Washington, d. c., and nearby
cities south of Washington. Some
are shipped by express to Philadel-
phia and New York when the prices
will justify and the condition of the
fruit is good.

rowing section of Warren County.
The industry was commenced here
more than thirty-fve years ago,
strawberries and peaches being the
first kinds that were planted. The
latter soon proved to be uncertain,
and not at all profitable, hence were
discarded, and large acreage was
pIanted in grapes, which was very
profitable for many years, until fin
oIIv the vines were attacked by
fungus disease, known as anthrac-
nose. For several years war was
waged against this disease by spray
inc. but without any good effect. and
to-day there are not as many vines as
there were acres eighteen years ago.
Cranes having been abandoned, the
Wilson blackberry was substituted In
part. but before we could determine
It's value in many respects, the same
disease snatched it from us.
The blackberry was followed by the
Lucretia dewberry, about which we
have started out to give some of the
details of growing, shipping, etc.
4 Failure to Eradicate Plant Disease.
In connection with this account.
however, we will write of the fail
ure of remedy to thwart the raw
ages of the said fungus disease on
grapes. and also the remedy which
has proved to be the only salvation
of the dewberry. As intimated above,
the fruit growers worked faithfully.

this fungus disease on grapes, exc

by the Agricultural Department at
Washington. ID. c.. for mixing and
applying the greatly over-rated
bordeaux mixture. all of which proved
to be a complete failure Therefore
the first growers here cannot be con-
vmced by any authority that this
mixture will destroy the disease or
prevent it in a section which has once
been infected, with all due Difference

We have simply stated the facts con-
nected with our experience. IF others
have benefited or ever saved a fruit
crop or the vines or plants on which
1t grew by the use of Bordeaux mix
ture conditions must have been very
different from those in this section.
Starting With Dewberries.
We will now proceed with the
growing of dewberries, which has
been the leading fruit crop in this
section for Is years. The plants are
raised by tipping or planting the end
Of the canes when there is a season
IN the land from the 18th of August
to 10th of September, observing to
notice by appearance when the canes
are sufficiently matured. In wet sea-
sons. which are rare at such a season
OF the year, many take root without
any care, which are called volun
teerS, but to be sure of plants, the
tips must be planted. The plants are
not always plentiful, but when they
can be had from first hands. the price
Is from $3.50 to $500 per thousand.
Medium red soil or dark gray, with
red or stiff clay subsoil is best suit
ed. The crop can be grown on me-
dlum ligt or sandy soils by applying
suitable manure. but the fruit is
never as large or firm.

HAVE A PURPOSE IN LIFE.

Take life like a man. Take it just as
though 1t was and is an earnest, vital,
essential affair. Fake it just as though
you personally were born to the task of
performing a merry part of 1t, as though
the world had waited for your coming.
Take 1t as though IL was a grand oppor-
tunity to do and to achieve. to carry for
ward great and good schemes, to help
and cheer a suffering, weeping, IT may
be, a broken brother. The fact Is, life is
undervalued by a great majority of man
kind. 1t is not made so much of as
should be the case. Where is the man
or woman who a~ccomplishes one 1.-THE of
what might be done? \ no cannot look
back upon opportunities lost. plans I'M
achieved. thoughts crushed. aspirations
unfulflled, and all caused from the lack
OF the necessary and possible efforts? If
we knew better how to take and make
the most of life 1t would be far better
than 1t is. Now and then a man stands

MoRMoNs AFTER CANNON.

Former United States Senator Frank
7 Cannon has been disfellowshipped
from the Mormon church because of his
editorials criticizing President Smith
Cannon is editor of the Salt Lake Tri-
bune and through it's columns is waging
as effectual warfare on the Mormon
church as did Charley Goodwin before
the Tribune passed to supposedly Nor
mon hands.
The first editorial referred to appeared
in the Tribune of January % and was
The second editorial appeared february
/ under the heading, An Address to the
Earthly King of the Kingdom of God"
In the latter Mr.. Cannon makes a
series of charges. He accuses president
Smith Of trying to build up his personal
power by the sacrifice of the Interests
of the church; charges violation of agree
ments with the United States govern
ment; accuses the president of taking
la OO0iCS VI liz 0aoSittAo vi --S 49,
jects and bestowing them upon his ia
vorites." He also accuses President
smith of having taken the property
which belonged to the widow and to t {
orphan and having absorbed it into the
possessions of the crown. and with OPP
pressing the poor members of the church
10 arrirh himcalf
The other editorial charges President
ninth with building up an alien mon
archy, hostile to the principles of Amer
lean government.
These are the contentious made before
the Senate committee which investigated
the charges of unfitness made against
senator Smoot. Those who think that
Mormonism is dying out should visit the
territory contiguous to Utah that is be-
ing overrun by the followers of Joseph
smith. They should get a line on the
Mormon missionaries that are every year
sent through the south and to foreign
countries. They woul become convinced
that while polygamy is not, perhaps, in
creasing very much, an Un-American
form of despotism is growing stronger
every year.
Cannon has been communicated, and
If he is not silenced by the immense pres
sure the church will surely bring to bear
upon him, we may hope to learn many
things about this strange institution that
on American soil.
