PEDIGREE PLANTS.
Real Necessity Of Pedisree-so Called
Pedi&rce straw berries.


W. ]. GREEN ana II. Ii. BALLoIJ, Ohio
experiment station.
The word pedigree has come to be
used with reference TO plants In a
sense which conveys meaning that is
| altogether untruthful. An animal With
d pedigree Is one having known an
cestry. The parentage on both sides
must be known for ono or more gen
erations Il has not heen the custom
4 among plant breeders, however. to keep
a record Of the parentage OF plants
| that Il, pedigrees have not been estab-
lished, except very rarely. A pedigree
In the case Of variety Of plants propa-
gated from seeds, as in the case Of veg
etableS or grains, might have great
value because 1t is the aim Of the grow
er Of such plants to secure uniformity
in the product and 20 develop strain
which viii come true from seeds.
Propagation by Division and seed.
Any variety OF plants which is prop
agated by means of cuttings, layers,
runners, CRAFTS or by any method OF
division may have a pedigree, but It's
value would not be enhanced thereby
Plants which are propagated by divi
sion come just as nearly true-that is,
are not more inclined to vary or sport
with a poor as with good ancestry
A Seeding from Ben Davis would when
propagated by division hold ITS type
quite as well as one from Crimes
Golden In the case Of varieties Of
plants which are propagsted from seeds
the type Is fixed and held by selection.
and the more careful the selection, or.
in other words, the better the pedigree.
the more Armly the type becomes fixed
and the better the variety. With plants
which are propagated by division selec-
ton has nothing to do with the fxed-
ness OF the variety, Plants Of this
class are more firmly fixed by nature
as to type than are those which are
propagated from seeds.
70 Secure Plant Pedigree.
To secure variety of strawberry
with pedigree two varieties must be
crossed when in bloom This process
may be continued with the progeny in
definitely, and IL record is kept Of the
parentage the result is a variety with
pedigree. The mere selection Of
plants OF variety, without regard 70
both male and female parents. does
not establish pedigree. A pedigree
variety can only be established by
growing plants from seed, and a seed
ling with pedigree Of the class OF
plants which are propagated by diyi-
sion is no better than one without, be
cause the good qualities Of the ances-
tors may or may not be transmitted.
There is nothing in pedigree Of plants
Of this class which viii help 10 FIX and
hold the type as with plants grown
from seed, nor does a pedigree in the
case Of such plants insure better per-
formanee

Explosion in Victor Fuel company's
Maitland Mine at Walsenburg,. Colo.
Walsenburg. Colo, Feb. 20.-An ex-
plosion in the Victor Fuel company's
Maitland thine caused the death of at
least thirteen miners, and perhaps
sixteen.
Following is a list Of the dead 30
far as known: Archie Miller. fire
boss; Billy Moran OF Maitland, James
w. Filters of Kansas, Battista Fobera,
Corona Costa, Joe Costa, Nick Yocki-
betzu.
Shortly before 8 o'clock there was
an explosion in that part Of the Matt
land known as the Sunshine, which
caused the earth to tremble for miles
around. Soon afterward man ran
out and reported that the mine was on
fire. The explosion caused fall Of
rock from the roof, and until this 10
cleared away 1t will not be. known
positively just how many more are
yet in the mine. It is certain, how
ever, that any found there will be past
help. Tie explosion was caused by
gas, and the deaths were caused by
the gas and afterdamp. 1t is sup
posed that the explosion occurred on
account Of open lamps in use, as most
of the men in that part Of the mine
used open lamps.

Brief Mention
Playthinos.

PIaythinss.
The streets are full of human toys
Wound up for threescore years;
Their springs are hungers. hopes and
joys
And jealousies and fears.
They move their eyes. their lips, their
hands:
They are marvelously dressed.
And here my body stirs or stands, !,
plaything like the rest.
The toys are played with till they fall,
Worn out, and thrown away.
Why were they ever made at all?
Who sits to watch the play?
