more often the soil is stirred, the
greater will be the yield. In a dry
season, frequent cultivation draws the
moisture to the surface, and helps
to tide the plants over until the rain
comes. Sod will soon run out" berry
bushes. Keep the land level and
clean.
If no young plants are wanted for
the next year, this finishes the first
season. If, however, new sets are
desired, either for home use or for
sale, this is the way to get them. By
the way, plants in the spring sell all
the way from SO to $40 a thousand,
according to supply and demand.
Early in September, bury the ends
in the ground about two inches. A
trowel makes good tool for this pur-
pose.
In the spring, sever the young set,
where 1t Is four or six inches high,
from the mother plant. Trim all the
other ends on the old plant as far
back as they are frozen and dead.
Cultivate frequently as long as it
can be done without injuring the
ripening fruit, perhaps until two or
three weeks before picking time.
During the time that the crop is
being gathered, the canes for next
years harvest will be getting tall. The
patch will need to be done over sew
eral times during July and August
and the ends of the canes shipped off
to about three feet high, in order that
now shoots may come out to make
large, healthier bushes.
After the crop is harvested, take
out the old bushes with a long
handled, short-blsded knife, made for
the purpose, being careful not to harm
the young canes. However, If there
are too many young canes in hill,
reduce the number to four or five. II
well cared for, patch will last six
years.

TUMULTY IS NEUTRAL

Serious international difficulties
were barely avoided at the White
House the other day. Gus Karger,
Oswald Schuette and Louis Garthe,
representing the right wing Of the
German forces in Washington, bore
down on the executive offices, and,
with glaring countenances, showed at
Secretary Tumulty a story, reprinted
in various newspapers, that he has
been singing ITS Long Way to
Tipperary," the popular song the
English soldiers are singing in the
trenches confronting the Germans in
France.
Hastily reading the article, Mr..
Tumulty's real Irish went high in the
air for a few minutes. The outcome
of it was that he had never even
heard the "Tipperary" song; that he
wouldn't have sung it If he had, be-
cause he has tried hard to promote
President Wilson's request that every
American take a neutral stand in the
present war. He admitted that he

SUGAR BEETS AS SOLE DIET
When Such Feeding Is Long Con.
tlnued Animals May scour-MlIk
Flow Is Materially Reduced.

Sugar beets or sugar beet tops fed
excessively as a sole diet to milch
cows will reduce the flow OF milk and
increase the live weight because they
contain fat rather than milk-forming
material. If such feeding is long con-
tinued the animals may scour and do
poorly. A good feed Of beets for an
ordinary COW is 80 to 40 pounds per
day in two feeds along with small
amount of grain and all the alfalfa or
clover hay she will eat. Sugar beet
tops should be fed carefully and never
as a sole diet.

DAIRY NOTES

The mixers hands must be not on

A trade mark can be made very val.
liable by good dairyman.
When selling butter It pays to put
It up in neat, attractive cartons.
A fall calf becomes producer when

A poor mixer Is one of the surest
means of diminishing the milk flow.
Remember that the income from the
dairy Is an all-the-year-round proposi-

One way to improve dairy quality
Is to have better and more sanitary

TRIBUNE'S MOVE Is TIMELY

The Tampa Tribune comes out
with another attack on the moving
picture companies that take scenes
Of the very worst parts of Florida in
order to illustrate their land-swindle
scenarios.
The Tribune's move is timely. The
Star has never noticed one of these
subjects with any but Florida or
some other southern state for loca-
ton People in other states who see
them, and are not familiar with the
features of Florida, are not aware
that some particularly dreadful IL
lustration is taken in an innocent
piece Of fiatwoods, with fiourishing
truck gardens in few yards and a
big city in a mile, and judge the
whole section by a little corner that
could be just as we'll picked out of
any other part of the country
Florida theaters at least should be
patriotic enough to refuse to run
these things. BY SO doing, they
could make a big enough dent in the
profits of the picture companies to
cause them to sit up and take notice.

At these meetings we desire te
have as many of the representative
business men present as possible
and any others who feel an interes
in the question to be considered, and
have arguments made from theil
point OF view, dealing in facts, ant
not in generalities.

COLORED PEOPLE SHOULD
HAVE DECENT CARS

1t is not to the advantage of white
people for colored people to be i'm
posed on.
The colored people of Florida and
the South in general are undoubted-
Iy imposed on by requiring them to
ride in Jim Crow cars
These cars are always cars that
have been used by the white people
until they are too shabby and dirty
for anybody to ride in. Then they
are put in use to carry the negroes.
1t will never be right to allow ne
groes to ride in the same cars with
whites, but a negro's money is as
good as any mans. money, and if he
pays full fare he has a right to
good car to ride in.
1t is not to the white mans ad-
vantage for negroes to have to ride
in filthy cars, because the white man
has to help pay for all the sickness
and other trouble that results.
When a car gets too bad for white
people to ride in, it should be sent to
the scrap pile One result of keep
ing them in use is that whenever a
railroad company gets in a tight
place for cars, it will take the super
ANIMATED coaches that white people
have used for years, and that ne
groes have used for other years, and
put them in service to carry white
people again.
The Star has seen coaches go thru
of their celebrations, and has seen
the same coaches few days later in
use as first-claSs coaches for white
people. 1t would be useless to deny
took the numbers of the cars. And
ii was proved before the railroad
commission last year that Jim
Crow car was in use on one line to
ly suspect the same is being done
now, not only on one system, but
several.
In a railroad accident in Gerogia
last week, the Jim Grow cars of the
negroes were smashed to splinters
while the steel cars of the white
people were unhurt. If any of the
negroes had been killed, the railroad
company would have been guilty OF
murder; and the same thing is like
ly to happen any day.
The passenger cars the white PEG,
pie on some Florida railway lines
have to ride in are bad enough. Make
the roads give the negroes at least
as good The railroads would treat
the white people as badly as they dc
the negroes if they were not afraie
TO do so.
The dirty coaches in use in some
parts of Florida are disgrace ant
menace to the whole state, and the
Star does not see why the railroad
commission allows them to be in use

OF our readers that the T.-U. is a

good newspaper. except that it isn't
given to publishing bad news about
its friends, in which it is much like

sembles nothing so much as those
tory papers which used to claim a
century and a half ago that it was a
sin to make faces at the Lord S
anointed.
The Pensacola News has gone into
bankruptcy. Seems to have existed
for political purposes for the past
few years, and all newspaper men
who work for a living know how
that winds up. 1t was rafting

let Felkel and Banborn fill it.
The Palatka Item wasn't dead, but

CONCRETE ROADS
ARE NO ACCOUNT

Some friend has sent the Star the
following interesting clipping from
the Richmond, Ind, Palladium and
Sun:
county should secure three times the
mileage they have in the past, for
the amount of money they expend on
the roads, was the statement of H.
c. Foster of the Foster Construction
company, who is a builder of con-
crete and water bound macadam
roads. Mr.. Fosters investigation of
the concrete roads in Wayne coun-
ty, Michigan, revealed some start
ling facts which were overlooked by
the Wayne county, Indiana officials
at a recent visit there.
Mr.. Foster does not believe this
county is receiving its moneys worth
for the sums spent on roads, which
have cost about s11 900 "a mile for
building. He is certain that the ac-
ton of the commissioners in letting
contracts for concrete roads, will be
the cause of regret later.

gan two weeks after the commission

ches which were overlooked by the

my pocket knife and with little pres
sure | stuck it into the road bed the
! full length of the blade. This was
done on some of the model concrete
roads of Wayne county Michigan.
These roads are built at cost o.
$4,000 a mile for an eighteen foo
concrete roadway. The roads here
cost more because they are wider IL
places When those concrete road:
are worn out, everything put in then
is lost. 1t costs as much to breal
UP and haul away the pieces as i
