VITAL QUESTION OF REVENUE
Cost to National Government From

The most dangerous phase OF the
revenue question is the national one.
The cost to the national treasury from

large sum. The reports of the COM
missioners of internal revenue. Issued
August. 1910. show receipts Of $685.
601. 10000. This immense revenue
paralyzes the moral nerve of the au-
thorities at Washington. and little
help in controlling the evil can be ex-
pected from that quarter until the
work In the various states is far ad-
vanced.

generally will some time be convinced

ly prepared and your plants in hand.
and We have reached the important op-
GRAFTON OF setting out the plants.
Use the dibble to make the opening
in the soil and to close over the roots
OF the plants. just as you would do If
you were setting a tomato or a cab
bage plant. and the work will be done
neatly and with dispatch.
Cultivation should begin as soon as
possible after the plants are set in the
ground, and this should be repeated
every eight or ten days thereafter II
the weather remains clear. Whenever
1t rains. however. you should be in
your strawberry field as soon as soil
conditions render it possible to do SO.
But never cultivate the soil before 1t
will crumble when disturbed. Soil con-
ditions always should determine the
time of cultivation. One thing that
never should be neglected is the ten
dency of the soil to form a crust. Here
are some of the desirable results of
cultivation: Cultivation prevents the
crust from forming on the soils surf
ace and destroys all weed seed while
they are in the terminating stage.
Continuous, vigorous growth is OBJ
tanned only when the digestive organs
of the plant are in healthy condition.
To keep the digestive organs In
healthy condition we must keep bac-
terra active. To keep bacteria active
we must supply them with an abund-
ance of air; and to supply air we must
cultivate. Cultivation forms dust
mulch, dust mulch retains moisture.
moisture dissolves plant food, plant
food makes active roots, active roots
build up big foliage. a big foliage
makes perfect digestion. and perfect
digestion develops a heavy fruit bud
system and keeps up continuous,
vigorous growth.
When the Season Is Over.
Let us add that the grower should
never fail. at the last cultivation in
the fall. to run narrow furrow down
the center of the spaces between the
rows. SO that all surplus water from
heavy rains or melting SHOWS may
quickly drain away. Make this furrow
from four to Ave inches deep.
Some growers prefer to cultivate
their plants by the hill system. Others
like the single-hedge row, and still
others, the double-hedge row There
are some growers who still continue to
grow plants by the narrow-matted row.
but this is something 1 never advise.
The grower should consider his mar
ket when setting out his plants. II he
is near large city and has a trade
that is willing to pay fancy prices for
fancy fruit, there is no doubt but the
largest results will be secured from
the hill system. If ones plot is limited
as to size and all the work is to be
done with hoe. we advise setting
plants l5 by Is inches apart. This
calls for 27,75O plants to the acre.
Where the fields are extensive and
the grower is to cultivate with the

In firm and close fitting garment of
earth. While 1t is true that the roots
of plants must have air. 1t also is true
that they must not be given too much
air, and unless the loose, coarse sand or
sandy loan is compacted either by
rolling or floating. the roots will be
over supplied with air. However, roll.
ing never is done II the soil is at all
wet. To do SO means the caking of the
surface. which is one of the things al
ways to be avoided.
Just the reverse treatment is true
OF clay soil SO far as compacting goes,
for 1t is the nature of clay to com
pact itself. and instead, therefore, of
rolling the soil, We need to pulverize
it thoroughly before the plants are set
and stir 1t frequently while plants are
growing in order that the process of
decay Of the vegetable matter in the
soil may be normally maintained.
Therefore. cultivation should be deep
er in clay than in sandy soils As a
rule. cultivation should be at least
four inches deep.
Having your soil in perfect condi-
tion, the next essential for big red ber-
ries Is perfectly developed plants II
you have purchased plants of a high
quality from a reputable source, you
may with confidence go forward with
your work. and 1t is important that
you make all the conditions comfort
able for the plants and as encouraging
to productiveness as it is possible to
do. One of the important things to
this end is the removal of all buds and
blossoms from each plant during the
first season of its growth. When this
is done all of the strength of the grow
ing plant goes into the development
Of massive roots and crown systems,
and upon these depend the quality and
character Of the fruit yield. There
fore, be sure to check the plants ten
dency to fruit while it is yet young
by pinching OFF each fruiting stalk.
One man will easily do this work on
one acre in half day.
Then there is the necessity of re-
moving surplus runners. BY surplus
runners we mean those young plants
that develop after you have formed
your system. II your system is the
single hedge row, then you will permit
two runner plants to grow and will
layer them directly In line with the
mother plant II you have adopted the
double-hedse-row system, you will al
low each mother plant to mature four
runner plants, and these runner plants
will be layered K fashion, the mother
plant forming the center of the X. Or
II you desire to grow your plants by
the hill system, then you will allow no
runner plants whatever to form, but
the mother plant itself will be- encour-
aged to develop a great fruiting sys-
tenn. The fewer runner plants the
more vigorous the mother plant will
be, of course. as the production OF the
runner plants draws heavily upon the
physical resources OF the mother plant.
Now you have the ground thorough
