PLANT RESTRICTION
is BIG ESSENTIAL
Principle Must Be Put Into Prac-
tiCe in Order to Make Sue
cess in Fruit Growing.
(By NJ. n. EDGGERToN. Michisan.)

NbN h' ~ Ef|a6htStONs MichiNan.l
Most small fruit plants perpetuate
and multiply their species in two
ways. through the production OF seed
and nodes
Seeds are produced in the fruit OF
plants. Nodes are the knot-llke pro
tuberances that appear on the stems
of the plants, with the strawberry.
stems are known as runners.
With this plant new fruits are made
as the runners lengthen. Leaves
spring upward from the nodes and
the roots strike downward into the
soil very quickly II the soil is loose
and moist
Red raspberries and blackberries
propagate in much the same way
the roots acting as runners
II allowed to follow the natural
course OF its being this purpose OF It's
life will be prosecuted 10 the fullest
possible extent without reference to
the quality or quantity of fruit pro
duced
1t is by placing restriction upon the
plants in this matter OF reproduction
that larger crops of better fruit are
secured
The plant has only certain amount
of energy TO use, therefore reduce
the number of seeds to be matured
and the entire energy of the plant
is directed to the building up of the
remaining seeds and seed receptacles.
In order to make a success In grow
ing fruit of whatever kind, the prin-
ciple OF restriction must be put into
practice. for plant restriction Is one
OF the essentials OF fine fruit growing.
In strawberry growing we find that
those varieties which show q tendency
toward propagation by means OF nodes
do not grow large fruits, while those
varieties which send out few runners
either produce large fruit or numerous
fruit clusters.
Our method OF culture requires
that each mother plant is to furnish
on an average OF six young plants
only After these are secured ali
further growth OF runners is re-
stricted
The growing OF TINS number or
plants does not draw upon the vitality
OF the plants concerned materially
so that practically the entire energy
OF the plants is directed into the
channel of fruit production
The less growth these runners are
allowed TO make the more nearly per
feet will be the conservation OF the
plant energy
In this principle Of conserving plant
energy we have one OF the essential
factors Of great crops Of fine fruit

clpie 10 carefully followed out and

Last year a great deal Of timothy
seed in the northern states was de
stroyed by the species OF army worm
known as the Wheat.Head worm.
The injury was most severe on high
sandy soil. In every case Investigated
however, it was found that the pest
had its origin in old timothy fields
that had been allowed 10 run four
years or more without being plowed

simply serve TO keep them within
bounds, and it is absolutely necessary,
when a farmer is confronted with a
horde of these worms stripping his
timothy field, and preparing to march
to grain fields, TO know what to do
and to realize that whatever is to be
done must be done without delay in
order to be effective.

Constipation and Catarrh

For many years | have been wre1t-

Peruna has been the remedy that /
have devised and it has certainly re-
lieved many thousand people, yes hun

ic catarrh.
Constipation was my chief difficulty
in treating these cases. I often felt
that il would be better if a laxative
element were added to Peruna.
feared to do so, however, first because
of the number of catarrhal patients
who needed no laxative, and second Z
was afraid of making such a radical
change in a remedy that was already
doing so well. Thus it was that I con-
thu ed 10 prescribe with the Peruna a
bottle of Manalin to those who needed
a laxative. At last. under circum-
stances explained in my booklet, was
constrained to add the laxative ele-
ment to Peruna. This constitutes what
is now known as the revised Peruna.
Now those who take Peruna viii,

leved Of their constipation. Second.
the cataTrh will gradually disappear
And once the eatarrh is cured the con-
stipatiOn leaves permanently. Then il
you follow the advice given in my
book, you will never have to take pills
any more. Cathartics and laxatives
you can ignore. You will be perma-
nently relieved Of both your catarrh

BROWN DEMANDS END
OFSTATELABOR WARS

Governor Joseph NJ. Brown, in an
interview given out today, puts the en-
tire state on notice that the executive
will maintain the peace of the state and
the rights Of property in Georgia at all
hazards in the future, and regardless of
private and personal differences be
tween capital and labor.
The governor takes the late Georgia
railroad strike as his text, and com
ments vigorously upon the great wrong
that situation inflicted upon thousands
Of innocent Georgians served by the
line and the employees of the same,
and says that the parties to such con-
troversies shall be held strictly ac-
countable to the state itself for such
wrongs hereafter He urges legisla-
tive enactment of a law making arbi-
tration Of labor troubles compulsory
The executive insists that the state
of Georgia is paramount to all inter
ests-that in such situations as the one
referred TO it is the state that is wrong
ed primarily and most outrageously.
