SELECTION OF SEED POTATOES.

One of the most important prin
ciples of potato growing and one
which is too often neglected is the
selection of seed. We would not
plant screenings to raise a wheat crop
nor use our poorest stock for breed
ing purposes. Why, then, should we
use poor potatoes for seed?
Shortly before digging time go
through the field and mark with
stakes the healthiest, best formed and
most vigorous plants. Dig these bills
first and save the most uniform and
desirable tubers from the best yield
ing hills. Use these tubers for the
selected seed Of next year.
If the grower has large acreage in
potatoes he can plant the selected
seed In rows near the main field,
giving them as good care as he gives
the main crop. From these rows he
may choose out the best hills each
year for the selected seed Of next

the hand at one time as more will be
crushed, and the berries should always
be laid in the cups instead of drop
ped.
Propagation plants may be
secured from root cuttings, or by tip
ping or layering of the young canes.
Plants often come quite true to seed,
but this is not the usual method of
propagation as it takes longer to Sc
cure bearing plantation.
Layering new nes.-As soon as
the growth has stopped in the fall the
new canes produced during the grow
ing season may be laid on the ground
and covered with dirt at the joints or
nodes. Roots will soon develop where
the canes are covered and sprouts will
form. The layered canes should not
be disturbed until the following
spring.
Tip layering. When it is desirable
to use all of the young wood for next
years crop, the tips Of the canes,
only, need be covered with dirt and
when roots are we'll established on
the tips the canes can be severed
about foot above each new plant.
In this way each tip may form new
plant and enough bearing wood still
remain to produce maximum crop.
Root cuttings. New plants may be
secured by taking cuttings of the
roots two or three inches in length
and setting them in moist sand or
we'll prepared soil until new roots
and sprouts have formed.
By spading deep around near ma
ture plants many side roots may be
cut off and will form sprouts. These
sprouts can be transplanted and will
make excellent plants.
Transplanting. The newly formed
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-08-15

plants are sometimes set directly in
the field, but stronger plants are
secured by transplanting in the early
spring and growing the first year in
a nursery before setting in the field.
Both the Logan and Pheomenal
berries do we'll in Western Washing
ton and deserve a place in our berry
field.

LOGAN AND PHENOMENAL BERRIES
TN WESTERN WASHINGTON.

A number of inquiries have lately
come to me asking for information
on Logan and Phenomenal berries
and methods of handling them in
Western Washington.
The Loganberry was produced by
J. H. Logan, of Santa Cruz, Cali
fornia, and is supposed to be cross
of the Aughinbaugh dewberry and
red raspberry resembling the Red
Antwerp. 1t has flavor of both the
blackberry and raspberry.
The Phenomenal berry which close
ly resembles the Loganberry is one OF
Burbanks productions and is said to
be a cross of the California dew
berry and the Cuthbert red rasp-
berry.
The methods Of culture for these
berries is practically the same.
Soils. "A rich, deep loan gives the
maximum growth, but sandy loan
will produce good crops if the subsoil
will hold moisture. A clay subsoil is
preferable to a gravelly one as it
holds moisture better. Good drain
age, however, is essential in any sub
soil. Preparation of the soil must be
thorough before planting. Do not
set the plants and expect to put the
soil in good condition for plant
growth afterwards
Planting. Many growers make the
mistake of setting their plants too
close. In most of our good berry
soils the lows should be placed about
eight feet apart and the plants not
closer than fourteen or sixteen feet
apart in the row. This will require
about $50 to 375 plants per acre. The
plants should be set alternately in
adjacent rows, so that each plant Is
opposite the interval between plants
of the adjacent row. If the rectangu-
lar system of planting is used instead
of the alternate, the roots soon be-
come crowded. Set the plants with
the crown about two inches deep.
Trellises. These plants are trailers
and should be trained on trellis.
Some sort of wire trellis is common
ly used. A good trellis is made by
setting a row of seven-foot posts two
and one half feet in the soil and
twenty to thirty feet apart in the row.
A two by four cross piece two feet in
height and one four feet is nailed to
each post. The cross pieces are
twelve or fourteen inches in length so
that the canes can have ample room
and still not interfere during cultiva-
ton. A number fourteen wire is
stretched from end to end OF each
cross piece extending in horizontal
direction. Cross sticks which nave
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-08-15

pair of wires and the canes or the
plants are trained serpentine fashion,
first above then below alternate cross
pieces, and the plants are held firmly
in place. Most growers who use the
trellis train the new canes on the
lower set OF wires and the bearing
canes on the upper pair. Half of the
canes are usually trained to the north
and half to the south, as the rows are
best run in that direction. Where
the new canes are injured by frosts
the growers find that these canes
should be left trailing on the ground
during the winter and not put up on
the lower wires. In these localities
only one set of wires is necessary.
Pruning. Usually Logan and Phe-
nomenal berries need very little prun-
ing. From eight to twelve canes can
be allowed to develop but all surplus
canes should be removed. AS soon as
the crop is harvested the old canes
should be removed and burned. This
will destroy any diseases or insects
which have found entrance in these
canes. Some very successful growers
prefer to wait until January or Feb
ruary to remove the canes and clean
up the field. In the spring or early
summer the field should be carefully
examined and all surplus sprouts re-
moved, leaving only enough new
shoots to form canes for the next
years crop. This will throw all OF
the energy of the plant into the fruit
ing canes and development of sturdy
young canes.
Before the leaves appear in spring
the canes should be tipped back
enough to eliminate small weak fruits.
Sometimes this will be only one or
two feet and sometimes several feet
depending on the vigor of the plant.
In fairly rich soil good plan is to
cut back the tips until they meet
those of the adjacent plant.
Cultivation. -Cultivation should be
thorough and often. The depth of
blowing will depend on the soil and
the root growth. The roots near the
plant will usually be near the surface
of the soil and blowing or cultivation
should be shallow, while midway be-
tween the rows cultivation should be
deeper. Weeds should not be allow
ed in the field until the crop is prac-
tically matured.
Harvesting. The fruit for shipping
should be picked as soon as it is light
red in color. If left until it becomes
dark red the berry will be too soft to
ship and very often a core rot will
have started.
In picking. two separations should
be made in the field as it is impos-
sible to pick out the soft berries
after they are in the cups and crates.
Each picker should be supplied with
carriers in the fields and small
carrier which can be tied to the waist
for convenience in picking. The
small carrier should contain one cup
for the light red berries which will
ship and one cup for the dark red
berries for the home market or can
ming purposes. These cups should be
put into separate crates and sold ac-
cordingIy. Pickers should be care

When Love Was Blind.

In the negro car of a railway train
in one of the gulf states, a bridal
couple were riding-a very light,
rather good-looking colored girl, and
a typical, full-blooded negro of pos
sibly reverted type, with receding
forehead, protruding eyes, broad fiat
nose, very thick lips, and almost no
chin.
They had been married just before
boarding the train, and like a good
many of their white brothers and
sisters, were very much interested
in each other, regardless of the
amusement of their neighbors. After
various billings and cooings," the
man sank down in the seat, and
resting his head on the lady's Shout
der, looked soulfully up into her
eyes.
She looked fondly down upon him,
and after few minutes murmured
gently, Laws, honey, amt you
'shamed to be so handsome"

New Laws Effect Status of Widows.

Iowa solons in the Thirty-fifth
general assembly had a kindly feel
ing for the widows of the state. The
new laws which go into effect July
4th include not only the so called
widows pension act but one law
completely alters the statute which
governs the shares of a surviving
spouse when the. husband dies with
out leaving a will.
The present law gives the widow
one-half of the estate when there
are no children and the deceased S
family the remainder. Under the
new law if the .estator leaves no is
sue the whole of the estate goes to
the widow, where it amounts to ST.
500 or less, after the payment of the
debts and expenses of administra-
ton. Where the estate amounts to
more than $500 the widow will be
entitled to half the amount in excess
of that. The other half of the ex-
cess shall go to the parents.

IS 1T YOUR KIDNEYS?
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles-A Leon Citizen
Gives q Valuable Hint.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only muscular Weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it
is with all the other symptoms of
kidney disorders That is where
danger often lies. You should rea-
lie that these troubles often lead
to dropsy or Bright S di. ase. An
effective remedy for weak or diseas-
ed kidneys is Doan's Kidney Pills.
Read the experience of resident of
Leon who tested Doan's.
Mrs. Jane Simpson, Leon, Iowa,
says: 81 have used Doan's kidney
Pills at different times during the
past few years for kidney complaint

To Lay Heavy Steel.

The Burlington through here is
preparing to lay heavy steel, weigh
ing 50 pounds, that now in use on
the branch being about 60 pounds.
Provision has been made for laying
80 miles soon. A special saving ma
chine arrived here recently to saw
the ties. 1t uses gasoline for power.
Four circular saws are arranged SO
they will come on each side of each
rail and as the machine advances
the saws cut into the ties about an
inch or SO and then when the old
rail is taken up, an adj is used and
a chip taken out Of the tic between
the two saw marks on each end of
the tie. The new rails being heavier
and higher, this will permit them to
drop down and be on the same level
as the old rails, and permits the run
ming of trains while the work is 60
ing on.
OF course there is the usual sus-
picion that the Burlington is fixing
up this branch to make a through
line from Des Moines to Kansas City
to compete with the Rock Island and
there may be a good deal of truth in
the guess, in view of the develop
ments relative to the Burlington
building into Des Moincs from Char
iton.-Garden Grove Express.

At the home OF Mr.. Guy Williams,
| near Mt. Zion Christian church, on
Sunday evening, July 6, occurred the
marriage of Mr.. Joseph Munyon to
Miss Letha Mckee. REV. Fred w.
Hagan, of Des Moines uttered the
words which joined these two young
people together as man and wife.
After the ceremony, refreshments
were served consisting of ice cream
and fruit. The bride is a daughter
Of Mrs. l.. Greenland and is a we'll
known and respected young lady in
the community where she has made
her home since babyhood. The groom
is a son of Mr.. Geo. Munyon. He is
a very industrious young man and
has the respect of all who are ac-
quainted with him. For the past
four years and a half he has been
working for Mr.. Lew Greenland, and
not being satisfied with the wages
he has received for his labor he is
now taking the daughter of the
household. These young people
have no definite plans for the near
future. Mr.. Munyon will probably
spend the remainder of the year as
a farm hand, planning to locate in
a home of his own at the beginning
Of the year. Those present at the
wedding were Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer

New Weed Law Causes Trustees t
Resign.

Council Bluffs, July 3.-Objecting
to running the risk on salaries aver
aging but few dollars a year, to in
curing the penalty of 500 provided
by the new weed cutting law, the
three trustees of Carson township,
Pottawattamie county, have resigned
in body, mailing formal notitica-
ton to the county auditor here and
asking that official to name their
successors.
The three men, J. w. Aston, ]. w.
Douglass and F. w. DUNCAN, assert
that any disgruntled citizen of their
township may file complaint that the
full provisions Of the law have not
been carefully complied with in all
respects and perhaps subject them
to penalties of 800 each as provid-
ed by the new weed law. That sum
is equal to their salary for several
years.
The chief recompense of town.
ship trustee, so the town clerk, F. G.
Weeks of Carson, suggests in his let
ter transmitting the resignation, is
the ''cussings' they receive. They
feel the new law permits these cuss
ings' to be crystalized into cash
penalties, and they do not care to
take the risk.
