Major of Missouri. When the two

HE CARRIED AN UMBRELLA.

A dear old lady who was very "sot"
In her preiudiceS was asked lust WHY
she didn't like a certain man. She had
no particular reason that she could
think of at the instant, but she had been
so emphatic in her expression of dis.
like that she knew she would have to
find some eXcuse-at once. Just at that
moment she happened to glance out of
the window and saw him passing by.
He carried a neatly rolled umbrella
though II hardly threatened rain
Quick as n flash she answered her
ouestioner, "IIe carries an umbrella
whether it's raining or not--ho is a
'softie.'"
But" said her friend. also looking
out of the window, here comes your
son William, and he is carrying an UNI
brella."
This did not stump the old lady. But
that's another NATTER don't like him
anyhow--and besides, It all depends on
who carries the umbrella she replied
trlumphantly.
That is the position some people have
taken regarding that wholesome and
refreshing beverage Coca.Co They
have said good many unkind things
about 1t and in each instance have had
It proved to them that their tales were
not true.
Finally they seized upon the fact that
Coca Cola gets much Of its refreshing

feline that 1t contains. They looked upon
that as a splendid argument against IT,

But does that stop their criticism OF

their answer is similar TO the old

matter"-what they mean is Being

We think the joke is on them-for

is bound to include Coca-Cola.
OF course, the truth is, that having

and vigorous root system than is pro-
duced by only tipping tie bruised
ends.
The compression Of the soil in a
wide hole is desirable to an extent
when IL is not too wet, but planting
in a narrow hole where the roots are
cramped and curled must be con-
demned in the light of general expert
ence which proves beyond all ques-
ton that wide spread of fibrous
roots is conducive to rapid and
healthy growth.
What do we find on digging up a
dwarfed. dying or otherwise unhealthy
| bush Almost, il not invariably, we
see roots cramped and twisted and
| almost devoid of fibers And why does
| transplanting young trees and bushes
in a nursery induce the production of
mass of fibrous roots, except as a
consequence of transference from a
stale and compact place, to soil In
condition of friable mold?
Almost any practicable degree of
pressure over the roots in planting
may be advantageous, but 1t does not
follow that solidity to check sideways
root growth is also beneficial II it
were so the annual digging. or, rather,
forking of fruit plantations would call
for condemnation.
Experienced growers, of fruit most
ly agree that they always find that
trees planted well in accordance with
what is generally considered the
proper methods flourish better than
those less carefully planted and this.
there is every reason to believe, is
the common experience.
am sure that experiments serve a
useful purpose but should strongly
recommend growers of fruit not to
act on a large scale upon the results
of any experiment, and although firm
er planting than is usual may be
tried prudence directs that any furth.
er testing of the methods described
should be limited, for some time to
come. at least, to small operations.
