Strawberry Culture

| start To prepare my land for
strawberry crop one year before the
time when ! want to set my plants,
by manuring the field and planting
hoe crop, such as potatoes, roots,
tomatoes or corn. The cultivation
of this hoe crop during the previous
wear puts the land in excellent condi-
ton, destroys the weeds and other
wise makes the soil suitable for Civ
ing good results when | plant my
strawberries After the removal of
the hoe crop in the fall l plan and
put on a heavy coat of manure. In
the spring | start cultivation early,
working the manure into the sur
face, and getting the land into the
very best possible shape for the set
ting of the plants. On my soil, which
is a deep. sandy loan, blowing is not
necessary, and in fact | never pillow,
manure in anyway.
When the field is thoroughly pre-
pared, / mark both ways, making the
rows three feet six inches apart and
the plants in the rows from eighteen
TO thirty inches. apart, according to
the variety, some varieties make an
excellent stand and form a splendid
row when set thirty inches or even
three feet apart.
| consider that one of the greatest
elements that contributes to my sue
cess is my choice of the plants at the
time of setting. The usual custom
among strawberry growers has been
to take plants from the side of the
rows; this, of course. gives them the
smaller and weaker plants.
Iii procuring plants l take up the
whole row, taking only the best and
strongest plants. This plan is along
the line of plant breeding, subject
which should receive greater atten-
ton by practical fruit growers.
OF course, it is scarcely necessary
to say that plants should always be
taken from new row, row grown
the previous year and one that has
never fruited. Some growers will
sometimes take plants from the side
of a row, that has given a crop. but
this should never be done
The time for setting plants depends
OF course, largely on the season.

News of the Day
In National Capital

Senator Depew of New York has
decided that, after all, he may as well
remain in public life six years more,
la Aldrich.
Senator DepeW is chairman of the
board of directors of the New Yirk
Central and Hudson River railroad,
and a director of 81 other transporta :
ton and franchise corporations and
combinations At banquets he e<toils
the reactionaries of congress and de-
nounces the progressives. One OF
Senator Depew's eccentricities is TO
mot vote" on bills which would have
a tendency to align him for or against
the people Out of 33S roll calls III
five sessions of congress, Depew is re-
ported as mot voting 167 times, or
practically on fifty per cent of the roll
calls. When he does vote, it is as AL
drich dictates. In five sessions, he vo-
ted against Aldrich only five times
once every two years.
Il expect that the next house OF
representatives will be democratic by
at least % majority said Representa-
tive James T. Lloyd of Missouri chair
man of the national democratic COM
mittee. Mr.. Lloyd keeps in touch with
sentiment as perhaps no other man IN
Washington, and his reputation for
conservative political statements makes
his DEMONSTRATION one of unusual i'm
portance.
No more political jobs for Louis X.
CLAWS. who was deposed as special
agent of the forestry bureau following
his activity against coal and timber
land thieves. He has acquired small
orchard at White Salmon, Wash, and
intends to engage in the fruit business

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-(Special to
the Statesman)-J. Pierpont Morgan
has intimated that it wiuld be just
as well not to have any postal say
ings bank legislation at this session OF
congress, Recommendation of Posi-
dent Taft to the contrary no nwith-
standing)
Therefore, in the opinion of soi'ie OF
the political students assemblies in
Washington, friends of postal ,as,!.s
may as We'll a; andon hope early, ard
thus avoid disiI pertinent later OF
These men VIII, III, line to the he!@I
expressed, an,l the< are men of b IN
parties who stud causes and ef'e",fS
in politics, say that the only possible
way for a postal savings bank bill
to pass both houses of congress at this
session is for Morgan to change his
mind.
At the beck and call of Morgan and
his associates, it is pointed out, there
is enough money-poWer and political
power to enable him to do any of the
following:
Bring. about the passage of any IL
nancial legislation desired; prevent the
passage of any financial legislation
desired; stop a. panic; start panic;
interfere with government finance by
calling in millions of loans on short
notice: grant or refuse credit totaling
fabulous figures; manipulate bank re-
serves; move from one part of the
country to another; stop payment at
hundreds of savings banks with few
hours notice.
OF course Morgan is not the only
one opposing savings banks in postof :
fices. Some of the leading and most
reputable Independent bankers of the
, country are hostile to the idea. But
the opposition of Morgan is the oppo-
sition which is counting; it is his in
fluence that is obstructing the postal
bank bill.

banks, I'VE have been assured the pos
tai bank bill will pass the senate
within the next few days
senate To allow Il popular measure
to pass one branch of congress, only
to slay it in the remaining stages Of
legislation, is only one of the devices
resorted to by Messrs. Aldrich and
Cannon to hoodwink the people. This
is an old trick, but it still serves its
purpose.
In the sixtieth congress, for instance,
the bill for the admission of New Mex
leo and Arizona as states passed the
house unanimously, but was strangled
in committee of the senate. The
house passed bill providing for uni
form safety appliances on cars, but
it was antirailroad in character and
passed a bill requiring ocean passen
ger steamships to be equipped with
wireless telegraph apparatus, which
was steamship and it too died in
the senate.
In the house, the postal bank bill
will be referred to the committee on
postoffices and postroads. Uncle

packed against postal banks. The
chairman, j. W. Weeks, is admittedly
hostile to the idea. Mr. Weeks was
especially selected for the position.
He is a member of the firm of Horn
blower & Weeks, bankers and brok-
ers at Newton, Mass; is vice-presi-
dent of the First National bank of
Boston, and president of the New
tonville Trust Co. Mr. Weeks placed
Representative John J. Gardner of
New Jersey at the head of SUBJ
committee to take care of postal bank
qualified him for the duty at hand
Gardner is chairman of the house COM
mittee on labor, which for years has
served as a catacomb for bills disap-
proved of by the special interests.
Postal savings banks constitute one
of the principal Taft measures Query:
Since it is a notorious fact in Wash
ington that for years Speaker Cannon
has been packing committees against
this kind of legislation, why did the
president resort to such heroic eff
forts to prevent a change in the rules
which would have made it impossible
for ''Uncle Joe" to continue appoint
ing and packing committees?

Senator leroy Percy of Mississippi, re-
plying to a charge that State Senator
bilbo had been given bride by L. c.
Dulaney. one Of Percy's supporters in the
recent senatorial contest in which he de-
ing statement today:
Il am absolutely without any knowledge
or information on the subject except such
as is contained in press dispatches from
Jackson. 1t seems an unnecessary state
ment for me to make, certainly entirely
unnecessary so far as any one that knows
me is concerned, that not a cent ever
was used during the senatorial fight in
jackson by me or with my procurement,
consent or knowledge to influence any
member of the legislature. nor have / the
remotest idea that any such expenditure
was ever made by any friend of mine.
Il nave no knowledge as to who is
authority for the statement that Dulaney
paid money to Senator Bilbo, but | have
no doubt whatever that the statement is,
without foundation and absolutely false.
Bilbo a Vardaman Man.
"Bilbo was known as a bitter partisan
of Gov. Vardaman and is supposed to
have voted for him. 1t is not contended
that the use of money influenced the re-
suit of the election, but the effort merely
is to besmirch the election so as to dis
credit the result in the primary election
fight for the full senatorial term. which
is to be held in the summer Of 1911, Gov.
Nardaman now being engaged in stumping
the state in this contest.
IF there was truth in the statement
Bilbo should have made it to the legisla-
ture prior to the election, when it would
certainly have resulted in eliminating me

he was confident the statute would be held unconstitutional in that case.
 This was in. the case of the State against the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway Company, in which Secretary of State Ludwig, following the mandate of the statute undertook to revoke the charter of the Rock 1s- land because it sought to remove a cause from the state court to the Fed eral court without the permission of the State.
 Attorney General Norwood believes the law will be sustained as valid in it's application to such corporations as insurance companies and others having no particular property inter- ests of the state but as to railroad lines, where they have large interests permanently invested, he is of the opinion that the higher courts will rule, just as indicated in the above dispatch from Washington, against the law. For that reason he dismissed the case that was pending when he entered the office, to save the state the cost of prosecuting the suit.
