FARMERS UNION WILL
NOT ENT{R POLITICS
President Barrett EmphatiCaIly
. Denies RumorS That Union
Will Join New Party

President Barrett, of the Farmers I'M
ion, emphatically denies that the union
has any intention of joining with the
American Federation of Labor to form
new national political party He brands
as false the recent newspaper reports
sent out from Washington and St. Louis,
declaring that the amalgamation might
take place when the union meets in the
latter city, at the conference May to 8,
Mr.. Barrett says, the fundamental law
of the Farmers union explicitly prohibits
the organization from indulging, even
remotely. in partisan politics, and he is
certain the constitution will not be alb
rogated or suspended at the st. Louis
gathering. limitations 20 the contrary
Mr.. Barrett stamps as "discourteous, in
discreet and unauthorized" as we'll as I'M
true.
Mr.. Barrett's statement is the result
of news reports sent out from the ma
tional capital and from st. Louis declar-
ing that Gompers and his associates in
organized labor are anxious to form a
national labor party. and that alliance
with the Farmers union was Gompers'
aim. 1t was reported that President
Gompers would address the farmers at
st. Louis and it was intimated that he
would succeed IN enlisting them in the
new party.

RAISING GLADIOLUS FOR MARKET

zx GEORGE $. WOODRUFF, IOWA.

The great improvement of recent years
in the gladiolus is remarkable because of
the fact that this flower has been Guilt
waited for about 100 years. There are
about 14O species, of which some 10 are
of European and West Asian origin,
few have been discovered on the noun
tains of tropical Africa, but practically
all our garden strains are from the South
African species, variously hybridized.

About II years ago H. H.. Croft, OF
Ontario. Canada. being dissatisfied with
existing strains, set out to build up, by
hand crossing and selection, strain
which should have large and handsome
flowers. substance" or body of petals
and especially vigor of constitution.
Many of the then existing varieties
were INBRED" and were weak. Some
named sorts were selling at 81 to IS
bulb and yet were very unproductive. He
has used all strains available, including
the whole of Burbank's California, and
has produced collection of $4,000 varie-
ties. showing the result of the many types
used in their production by the wonder
full variety in form, size, habit of growth
coloring and especially in the remarka-
BILE vigor and productiveness of many of
the sorts.
The gladiolus is propagated by direct
multiplication by cormels, and by seeds
The CORN planted dies at the end of the
season, but produces new one at the
base of each shoot it sends up; so that
the rapidity of multiplication depends on
the number of shoots sent up.
When the corms are dug in the fall a
number of bullets or ''cormels" are
found attached to them. Some sorts have
very few and some great many. espe-
cially those having the Lemoine blood.
These cormels produce the same kind as
the corms they are taken from and flower
in the second or third year from planting
rarely the first year.
When seeds are sown they will produce
hardly two sorts alike. and many will NOT
be worth keeping, but there may be
some fine new sorts The seedlings will
flower the second or third year.
1t is much more satisfactory to buy the
cream of other peoples seedlings than
to fill the garden with lot of poor
sorts.
Plant in full sunshine, but not against
the south side of a wall. and away from
the roots of trees, in well prepared soil.
a mellow, sandy loan preferred, and one
retentive of moisture.
Avoid contact with manure which should
never be fresh and had better be plowed
in the previous season or in the fall.
Occa sionally restore potash to the soil

be stiff or clayey put sandy loan in the

deep according to the size of the corms,
and the quality of the soil. and at in
tervals Of say two weeks, from the time
the ground will work we'll up to July.
BY this means and by the difference
in earliness of varieties, flowers may be
had from July until hard frost. 1t is
most important that the ground be kept
stirred and mellow at all times. especial
ly as soon after each rain as the ground
will work well and before a crust forms.
Uness you have planted in masses for
landscape effect, cut every stem as soon
as the first two or three flowers open
and let the buds develop in water in the
house Every morning remove the old
flowers. shorten the stems and change
the water. Keep at night in a cool
place.
Thus treated the stems will be in bloom
q week or more.
If "a few specially large flowers are
wanted pinch off some Of the top buds
at the start.
About watering. In my fields, cultiva-
ton has to take the place of watering
but where water is to be had, and when
needed it is a good thing if done thor
oughly in the first stages of growth and
again when the flower buds show color.
A good soaking at the latter period makes
the flowers larger.

The fairest way with which I am aC-
quainted to ascertain the value of a ton
of fertilizer this year is TO take the
figures given by the state chemist i'm his
report. and which are based on cash
prices at Savannah, as ! understand it.
According to those figures, available nj
trogen is worth about IS cents a pound,
when derived from both mineral and
organic sources; available phosphOric
acid about IS cents; ana available potash
about cents a pound. On this basis a
11-L65-2 would contain about $1575 worth
of available plant food. To this should
be added $3.50 for Begging, state inspec-
ton, etc, making S1s.17 cash in carload
lots. A 1e-1.65-2 would contain about
s14S7 worth of plant food on the above
basis of valuation and adding to this
$3.50 would make it worth S17.47. The diff
ference in the value of the materials in
these two formulas would be about 20
cents a ton.
