Believe That Democrats Will Poll Full
 Vote i'm District.
 Gadsden, Oct. 0.-(Special. )-Con- eressman Burnett returned to this city last night, having spent the past week making speeches in Franklin and Gull man counties.
 Colonel Burnett will go to Marshall County tomorrow and will be in that County md DeKalb the remainder of this week. In speaking of the polit- ical situation Colonel Burnett said that the Democrats should bestir them selves and get out the full vote on election day, as the Republicans were making an aggressive campaign and would exert every effort to make a good showing for their party In the coming election.
 The Evening Journal of this city has started a public subscription for the benefit of the Rebecca McCleskey Girls Home of the Snead Seminary which was destroyed by fire at Boaz Saturday afternoon. and the call is being responded to liberally by the people of Gadsden.
 The school IS most deserving in. stitution as it has been the means o1 assisting girls to get an education who have been heretofore deprived oi these advantages. Over 100 girls were | left homeless and means will have to be provided for them at once or else | they will have to return to their homes until the means can be obtained to re. ! construct the building.

 CURE BY CUTlCURA

"I had an eruption appear on my chest and body and extend upwards and downwards, so that my neck and face were all broken out; also my arms and the lower limbs as far as the knees. I at first thought it was prickly heat. But soon scales or crusts formed where the breaking out was. Instead of going to physician, l purchased complete treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, in which l had great faith, and all was satisfactory A year or two later the eruption appeared again, only little lower; but before it had time to spread l procured another supply of the Cuti- curs Remedies, and continued their use until the cure was complete. It IS now five years since the last attack, and have not seen any signs of return. l have taken about three bottles of the Cuticura Resolvent, and do not know how much of the Soap or Ointment, as l always keep them with me; probably one half dozen of each.

A Futile Practice.

Washington Post
 The old, old practice of taking straw votes" in order to ascertain the drift of public sentiment is being fol- lowed in this campaign, notably in New York. The result of these polls is what ever the party taking it desires If he Is Democrat. the straw vote shows that the Democrats will sweep everything before them. If he is a Republican, the vote Is so heavy in favor of the Republican candidates that all others are covered with shame and disgrace. Socialistic. Pro hibitionist, and other minor parties have just as big a majority before election. by means of straw votes. as either of the big parties. The straw vote" dodge is too old to deceive any body. It gives no information what ever. and the only people fooled by it are the people who think they are fooling others It should be thrown into the rubbish heap of antique po- litical tricks. .-...-.'

EASTER LILY GROWING.
ro BECOME AN AMERICAN INDUSTRY
GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL,

+ plants con be grown which are en-
tirely free from disease, and most i'm
portant OF all, that the seedlings give
an opportunity to select better types
than exist at the present time.
The very best of these seedlings,
some of which will undoubtedly show
superiority in several ways over the
parents, can be retained for seeds, and
by keeping up the system of selection
there will develop in very few years
strains from seed which will be proven
of great value.
George w. Oliver, the plant propa-
gator of the Department of Agriculture
has been working on this particular
line for number of years, with every
indication Of success. In some in
stances he has obtained blooming
plants in from to months from
termination of the seed, while in re-
cent trials, as many as twelve mag
nificent blossoms have been cut from
a plant within fourteen months after
the plant has shown itself above
ground.
In order to further this class Of
work, the Department of Agriculture
has obtained plots of land in California
and Oregon where it is believed the
Easter lily can be grown as profitably
If not more so, than it Is in either Ber-
muda or japan.
A point greatly in favor of raising
the Easter lily from. seed, to constitute
the crop Of marketable bulbs, is that
from one to two years time is saved in
the operation over the scale method.
The results Of the work of the Depart
ment of Agriculture in obtaining
blooming plants in SO short time after
planting the seed would probably seem
like fairy tale to the participants Of
the lily conference held in London in
1901. One of the papers read at that
time states that many species of LII
hum must have from ten to twelve

Caring for Transplanted Trees.

1t is well the first year large tree
is transplanted to put tile at its
base or square box five or six inches
in diameter, in an upright position,
and stimulate the tree by pouring
down soap suds or other water. This
furnishes sub-irrigation and allows but
little of the water to evaporate.
Trees should also be dug around
from time to time il rapid growth is
desired. A tree can grow up in sod
and practically stand still or by the
use of manure and cultivation it can
be made to grow as fast as desired.
The sod method is frequently followed
by the man who has no time to spend
on the convenience and appearance of
his place.

years to develop Towering bulb from
the seed. A noted scientist who was
believed to be an authority on lily
growing, stated that "In three or four
years at most, Towering bulbs will
be produced from seed If the young
plants are properly treated" While
the experiments of the Department of
Agriculture have shown that some seed
lings are longer than others in coming
into bloom, yet when these do flower,
they reward all the cultivator's labor
by producing great amount of flow
ers-instances being known of plants
with from ten 20 fourteen flowers at
one time
Hybr,o Philippine Lily.
The Bureau o. Plant Industry Of
the Department of Agriculture last
ing the time of growing, as any short
ening in the time of growth represents
so much gain to the cultivator. With
this in view the Department imported
a species Of lily from the Philippines
which was known to bear flowers in
from two to three months after plant
ing of the bulb. This lily has been
crossed with the common Easter lily,
and the 1t has been hybrid,
bearing as many flowers as the old
Bermuda lily, with no difference in ap-
pearance from this plant, except that
the hybrid will develop in four or i've
months, representing a shortening in
time of from one to three months
While the experiments of the Depart
ment are not yet completed, the re.
suits attained so far warrant the be-
lief that the new hybrid Easter Lily
can be produced cheaper than the old
variety which blooms not less than
from six to eight months after plant
ing Of the bulb.

Green Manuring.

Very sandy soils are more apt to
show beneficial effect than heavy soils
from plowing under green crops as
compared with applications of fertil-
izers or manures, for the reason that
in such soils fertilizer or manure
teaches quickly away, whereas the
humus afforded by the green crop is
more entirely retained, itself adding to
the body of the soil. Sandy soils, too,
are nearly all deficient in vegetable
mold, and green manure is the easiest
and cheapest method of supplying this
factor.

AS the warmth Of spring approaches

nothing is more grateful than rhubarb.
A most satisfactory practice is to cover
a couple of thrifty stools of rhubarb

THE PHILIPPINE LILY.

Planting overgrown nursery stock
because it can be secured cheaper than
young stock is serious mistake. In
the first place the handling is much
greater, and, again, such trees will
never make the sturdy and vigorous
growth Of the younger ones. To use
them at any price is poor economy.
The Greeley tribune., 1906-04-12

For the best results fruit and other
trees should be cultivated early and
often during the spring and early sum-
mer, as that is the time when most
growth is made. When the fruit is
small there is plenty of sap for vigor-
Gus wood growth, but after the fruit
maturity the wood growth
decreases.

The general policy of the Depart
ment of Agriculture has been to en-
deavor to produce at home such plants
as are grown abroad and shipped into
the United States. This Is just as true
with regard to luxuries as to neces-
stiles, and especially apropos is its
reference to the Bermuda or Easter
Lily. For some years efforts have been
made to cultivate successfully the
Easter lily in the Southeastern States,
but it has been found that the climate
of that section is not as favorable for
the lily bulbs as 1t Is In the Bermudas
and Japan.
Experiments have demonstrated that
bulbs of the Easter lily can be carried
over season in cold storage. with a
result that they are benefited very
materially as it subjects them to a
condition approaching that existing in
Japan, the native country of the spe-
cies. where the bulbs are heavily COW
cred with snow during the resting
period. This discovery has opened
new possibilities in the cultivation OF
the lily. Heretofore, bulbs have been
planted in some parts Of the South
early in the fall, with the result that
they sprouted considerably before cool
weather set in. When severe weather,
such as the South gets 1T some periods
of the winter, does come. this growth
is killed and the plant more or less in
jured. During the period before COM
ing into bloom, the plants rendered
sickly during the winter often suffer
severely from lack of moisture, result
ing in poorly developed bulbs.
On the Blue Bermuda Islands.
Lily growing on the Bermuda Islands
Is an exceedingly profitable industry.
Practically all the land available for
the production of bulbs is utilized for
this purpose, and while the rotation

proved methods of selection and cul-
tivation, would undoubtedly be eventu-
ally good policy for the growers to
pursue, yet, except in the case Of the
more progressive growers, there Is lit
tie likelihood Of this being done, as 1t
would materially decrease the revenue
from lily farming for the time being.
This will readily be understood when
1t Is stated that an acre of lilies will
bring from $1,000 to $4,000. Some
growers on the islands who thoroughly
appreciate the Importance of careful
methods are using small bulbs in
preference to scales, and are selecting
and fertilizing carefully, but they are
heavily handicapped by the many
small growers who cultivate their
crops according to old methods; and
in these cases there is no selection
with a view to producing and perpetu-
ating good types. Little manure Is
used. The methods of propagation are
very faulty and they have not been
changed since the beginning Of the in
dustry in the islands. For instance,
in the growing Of the bulbs for Amer
ican markets the smaller sizes are
planted in the fall and harvested In
July, or before the bulbs have thorough
ly rtpened. In the process OF handling.
many Of the immature scales drop
from the bulbs. These are not thrown
away, as they ought to be, but are
carefully saved and planted with view
to raising small bulbs. These bulbs
ultimately form large part Of the
general crop. y
AS result Of all these conditions
the bulbs marketed by Bermuda have
become impregnated with disease, so
that. at the present time 1t is almost
impossible to secure a bulb or plant
which does not show some trace Of d.
sease.
The American Method.
Investigations made by the Depart
ment of Agriculture have shown that
by the use of seeds instead Of scales,
larger bulbs can be secured in a much
shorter time than can be produced by
the scale method. Moreover. it has
hssa demonstrated that in this way
