LAYER OF GRAPEVINE FROM NEW GROWTH
vine or a few vines of the crane is to
get them from a good local nursery
man. But say that you have an accom-
mOdating neighbor with good fruit or
that you already have nice vine your
self and want to propagate 1t, there are
few things easier. Layering is one of
the simplest of horticultural opera
tons. It's story is told so plainly by
the accompanying little sketch that ex-
panation is almost unnecessary.
Layering should be done in early
spring. A cane or shoot Of the previous
years growth of wood is stretched
along the ground and buried through
out its entire length in a shallow
trench or it may be covered in certain
places, leaving the remaining portion
exposed. Roots will be put forth at in
tervals and branches thrown up. Later
the vine may be cut between these
branches, leaving a number of inde-
pendent plants.

widely published intimations from
Japanese sources before the confer

would not be full and ample were not
only without foundation hut that his
powers were in fact greater than those
bestowed upon Baron Komura.
Russian Reply is Ready.
One of the biggest features OF the
day ut the Wentworth hotel was the
publication of Japanese terms, by the
Associated Press. Efforts were made
to tliscrcdit their authenticity but
neither the Japanese nor Russians
would discuss the subject and before
inphtfall all those Interested became
convinced of their accuracy Both
Mr.. Safe and Mr. K0rostovtZ, the
Spokesman of the respective sides, dc
clincd to say anything officially about
the terms which. by mutual agree
mcnt were to lie kept secret. but Mr.
KorostovitZ, in the name of NJ. Wittc
did not hesitate to confirm the accu.

reply was completed and would be de-

Japan's demands, as predicted, have
served to array the Russian govern

talked yesterday with leading men Of
various classes, not only public OIL
Gals, but lawyers, doctors, merchants
and Journalists and all declared that
continuance of the war would be
better than the acceptance of such
terms. The same spirit is manifested
in almost every newspaper, the Radical
organs ranging alongside Of the Russ,
today, in declaring:
IF these arc Japan's conditions all
hope Of peace has vanished" Indigna-
ton also is growing over what is &C.
gardcd as doubtful procedure on the
part Of the japanese with regard to

what is the real reason underlying
their action. '

SHOULD SUCCEED HIMSELF
4 Washington Correspondent Says
That the Work of Hon. B. G. Hum
is Grea and That He Should be
Allowed to Return

Washington, D. C.. July 49, 'o5.
Editor Greenville Times
Anent the forthcoming Congressional
election in the 3rd District of Missis-
sippi, your correspondent would ex
press what is believed to be the al
most unanimous desire, and that IS.
that Hon Ben G. Humphreys should
succeed himself Indefinitely
With opportunities second to none
your correspondent has noted with alb
sorbing interest the magnificent work
done by Mr. Humphreys on the Rivers
and Harbors Committee, and it would
seem nothing short of calamity that
he should be retired at this crucial
moment when his services are most
needed, and when they have been so
fully recognized and appreciated
With an eye single to the best inter
ests of his constituency and to the
best needs of his District, Mr. Hum
phreys stands one Of the champions OF
of the honor and the integrity, not
only of the grid District, but the com
monwealth of Mississippi, and the pre-
diction is freely mad that h will sue
coed himself by handsome majority
