Those who have permanent homes
will do well to consider the merits of
the class of plants. leaving the annu-
ais to those who are here this season
and somewhere else next year.
Not that we would advise their neg
lecting Of ANIMALS wholly. however, do
not want to be understood as meaning
that-but simply that a collection of
hardy plants will be found so much
more satisfactory, all things considered,
under the conditions of which 1 have
spoken, that their cultivation is to be
urged in preference to that of the other
class mentioned which is not satisfac-
tory unless a good deal of time and
labor are expended on 1t.
The impression seems to prevail that
ANIMALS require next to no care, and
are therefore particularly adapted to the
use of the woman who has but little
time to devote to gardening.
The fact is, that to grow ANNALS
well you must give them a good deal
of attention, especially during the ear

amount of attention, indeed, that will
be required by a good-sized collection of
hardy plants.
Another argument in favor of this
class is-that once established your

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Scientists OF
the department of agriculture after four
years work have found cheap process
for taking the quicker out of persim-
mons.
Do you realize what it means? The
lowly 'simmon. indigenous to vast
stretch OF American territory, is at last
coming into its own.
Processed and puckerless, delicious,
while still as hard as an apple, juicy
as a pineapple, but no more perishable
than the peach, il may be shipped across
the continent without damage, and it
comes to the whole people as native
fruit, richer in food value than APP
pies, pears or oranges, probably more
palatable than any common fruit, gem
tie to the weakest of digestions, and ca
pable of being raised in great quantities
with few difficulties of cultivation!
The forests of the Orient are being
ransacked for new varieties to be graft
ed upon the native stock trees.
Scions of varieties big as dinner plates
are being shipped in bundles to Wash
ington to be planted in the experimental
gardens preparatory to the wholesale
budding of American 'simmon orchards.
Hats off, and watering mouths open
to the humble, neglected 'simmon, in
the past despised by all except freckled
boys and darlies, now no longer rot

MISSING CHICAGO GIRL

NEW YORK, March Alan hour after

in solitary state in her room in hotel
near the Grand Central station, where
she had registered. The Chicago police
we're notified and her father is now on

Mildred was permitted to register at the

land and using 800 to 400 pounds of fer
tilizer per acre.
You have evidently prepared your land
and there is only one
suggestion which could be made to in
sure your securing a better yield, and
that is the apparent absence of vege-
table matter of any kind to hold the
moisture, and help the fertilizer supply
the plant with a uniform supply of plant
food throughout the growing season. No
doubt you are not in position to secure
matter in large amounts, and
under the circumstances the following
method OF preparation, in our Judgment
would be the best. Make your cotton
beds about four feet apart, and run under
the drill row at the time Of planting the
cotton about 80 pounds per acre Of the
mixture you have in question, using at
least two side applications of 200 pounds
each, applied say 80 days after planting,
and the second application about the LIST
Of June. Give shallow surface cultiva-
ton to the crop from start to finish.
You can Of course use the weeder to
keep the crust broken. and this Is a
very important matter.
Our experience indicates that planting
cotton In hills, say is inch or feet
apart, and leaving two stalks to- the hill,
has given a larger yield than to leave
only one stalk, though a larger plant is
secured by the latter method. If your
land were well supplied with vegetable
matter we would advise opening wide
deep furrow In the drill row, and put
the fertilizer well down in the soil, but
in its absence we believe that side APP
pIicatious are likely to prove more sat
isfactory. In our judgment the only criti-
cism to be made of the fertilizer is the
small amount OF potash it carries We
believe it would be better TO increase
this to 4 per cent. This could be done
by adding say g to 80 pounds muriat Of
potash to the amount of fertilizer you
expect to use on each acre. It would
take little trouble to prepare the mix
ture, and the chances are it would pay,
and this Is particularly true If your cot
ton Is inclined TO rust, Bear in mind
that persistent shallow cultivation is
half the battle in making crop of cot
ton. Keep all grass and weeds in check
and follow UP the cultivation as late into
the season as possible. II It does not
grow vigorously and appears yellow and
stunted during the growing season an

A TRAvEsTY.

The Missoulian has been on rec
ord, ever since the discussion OF
primary legislation began, as III
favor OF any reasonable primary
election law. The prospect of three
days ago, that the legislature might
adopt q law which would give the
state primary election system,
was encouraging. The latest action
of the house In the adoption of the
measure which places the nominal
ton Of United States senators In
the hands OF party conventions is
as remote from primary -nomina-
ton system as could be. The Mis-
against this measure analyzed 1t
correctly; the measure is q travcsty
upon primary legislation. 1t does
not possess the essence OF primary
legislation In the least. The voters
have no part in the nomination Of
senator's; this function is merely
transferred from the legislature to
the state conventions; should these
conventions be controlled. the can
didatcs named would be the erea-
lures Of the lobby just as much as
If named by the legislature. BE-
sides, the language, 1T shall be the
duty Of the state conventions 10
nominate" is merely wasting words;
the conventions might refuse at
their pleasure. The whole thing Is
a trayesty upon primary nomina-
tions.

1t that an extra session Of congress

President Taft has fixed April as the

consultation with Champ Clark, who
will he speaker of the next house, and
Representative Underwood Of Alabama,
who Will be chairman of the ways and
means committee, which will have
charge of and report the reciprocity
bill In the house. The president had
intended to convene the extra session
at an earlier date. but Representatives
Clark and Underwood told him they
desired months time after the pres
ent congress adjourns, in which to map
out democratic plans for the next ses-
sion.
There was no change In the situa-
ton In the senate today regarding the
Canadian reciprocity agreement and
the leaders see no hope of bringing the
Mccall bill to u vote at this session.
Many rnmors were circulated Of moves
10 remedy the situation, hut, apparent
