LARGE PLANTS NOT ALWAYS
THE BEST.

Plants can be too big. The may be
stimulated by excess of fertilizer until
they cannot bear their own weight. A
spot in the oat field where the plants
are lodged may mark the place where
the manure was in a heap before the
field was plowed.
DIR. Byron D. Halstead, botanist at
the New Jersey Experiment Station
observes that under more ordinary cir
cumstances the largest plants are not
the best, particularly if the end sought
is a crop of fruit, grain or seeds. For
example, there NAV be a stalk of corn,
larger than it's neighbors, one that the
boastful farmer measures from bot
tom to top, but it may have no ear!
In other words, b%arrenness in plants
is often expressed in extreme size. 1t
is a homely way that plants have of
telling the world that they are I'M
fruitful.
If one continually takes eoff the
blooms as they form upon a plant the
period of Towering will be prolonged.
This many growers of flowers know
and put into daily practice. 1t is fur
Their known that the removal of the
blossoms helps to produce a larger
plant. The following test will show
this at very little outlay. Have two
rows of plants of early string beans
and from one row of plants pick all
the flowers as they form. Let the
other row mature all the fruits possi-
BILE. AS a result it will not be lonO
before the de-fowered plants will be
much larger than the one with a full
complement of pods. Furthermore the
podless plants will remain green
throughout the whole season, while
those of the other row will turn brown
and die by midsummer.
Some plants r. naturally few flow
cred, and they are usually larger than
the more fruitful plants of the same
kind.
1t follows that for fruitfulness it is
not wise to include the large partially
barren plants when saving seed. If
the special point is a large amount of
forage it may be best to select for
that, but for ordinary crop-growino
one should beware of the overgrown
plant because it's excess of size is like
ly acquired at the expense of produc-
tiveness.

news and confectionery stand with
one of the largest and best soda foun.

present office of Superintendent E. c.
Bowman and his dispatchers and will
remodel it ana put it in tirst-class
shape for their local office. The dis
patchers will be moved to the front
part of the Traction Company's wait
ing room. Mr.. Bowman as general
superintendent will move his office to
the main offices of the company on
the third floor of the building.
