SUPERIOR MULCH
FOR FRUIT VINES
Growth OF Weeds Is Prevented
and Soil Moisture Is Re-
tanned in Soil.
(By A. G. FINN

(By A. G. FlNND
The following reasons are given for
mulching:
1t prevents the growth of weeds.
1t retains moisture in the soil.
1t adds humus, one of the necessary
elements.
1t keeps the fruit clean and pre-
vents mud at picking time
1t saves labor, the cost of mulching
acre with forest leaves or straw not
exceeding $500.
1t prevents deep freezing.
1t makes the fruit more solid and
better for shipping purposes.
1t prevents the baking of the soil
caused by tramping at picking time.
1t has the disadvantages of encour-
aging mice and establishing a surface
root system. However, we have not
noticed any serious damage from Ell
Their Of these effects.
The cost of growing raspberries by
natures method, as l call it, is not
very great. Picking is a nice job
where there is no mud, no weeds and
where the canes have been properly
pruned.
Don't leave any old canes standing
in the field.
Don't fail to cut out and burn any
canes infested by insects and diseases.

NAMES or VARIOUS CLOTHS
Chiefly Derived From Their Place o.
Manufacture, Though Not in
All Cases.

Muslin is named from Mosul, city
on the banks of the Tigris; Cambria
from Cambria, a town Of France.
Gauze is probably derived from GAIA
in Syria, although some authorities
hold to the Hindu "gazi," meaning thin
cloth.
Baize, which is commonly thought
Of as being Of green hue, was named
from its original color, a reddish
brown. The word is really the plural
Of bay" and the color is that Of the
horse which is known as bay" A
form of the word is common in many
tongues.
Damask, quite obviously, is derived
from Damascus.
SILK and serge are both derived
from the Latin Sores, meaning the
Chinese. These fabrics were first i'm.
ported from that portion Of Asia which
is now southern China.
Velvet is from the Italian velluto,
meaning woolly, this from the Latin
vellus, a fleece. Vellum is a deriyative
Of the same root-a pelt or hide.
Bandanna is from the Indian word
meaning to bind or tie," and has ref,
ernce to the manner of tying knots in
the fabric to prevent the dye from
reaching every part thereof In this
way spots are left white and a rude
pattern remains in the cloth.
Alpaca comes from the animal OF
the same name in Peru. It is of the
llama species and its wool is used to
manufacture the fabric employed in
the making Of summer garments.
Calico got its name from Calicut, a
town in India, once celebrated for its
cotton cloth.

After a strawberry crop is gathered
the plants will require special cul-
tural attention of they are to remain
for the production of berries the sue
ceeding year, says Michigan Farmer.
The limited cultivation possible
while the crop is developing in the
spring is not sufficient to keep down
weeds, so that under ordinary condi-
tons these are present in a liberal
number and generous size, and demand
removal by the time one can get to
them after the harvest.
Old plants that have spent their
energy will only obs ruct the chances
of the patch for another season.
These need to be cut out with
weeds. The soil, stirred but little and
packed hard by the repeated tramp
ings of the pickers, is in a poor state
to begin the growth of new plants
and ripen another crop of berries. 1t
should be cultivated.
Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1913-07-30

Deep and frequent cultivation is
the only way to put soil in condition,
and if it lacks in the elements Of fer
tility there should be added and
worked into the soil a quantity Of
fertilizers if the former is lacking, or
both, to replenish the plant food
taken out by the last crop. After this
has been done the old crowns will
send out runners in every direction.
If these are permitted to establish
themselves at random it would be
but short time till all trace of the
old rows is obliterated The proven
ton lies in training the new plants
into rows corresponding to those &C.
cupied by the old plants. This is done
by following a special method of cul-
ture. Run a horse pillow about six
inches from the center Of each row
on both sides, throwing the soil away
from the row, thus leaving an undis.
turbed portion one foot wide.
