Layering Grapes.

The vine that is covered will throw
out roots and send many stems up at
the joints. These may be separated
and planted separately.
A raspberry vine may be made to
produce new plants by bending over
the tip of a cane and covering it with
dirt at the end.

rsen OF Trinity university after
chapel Tuesday. Carl Ferguson vas
unanimously elected as captain Of
the football team for the 1917 sea-
son. Ferguson was this year chosen
az ail-state fnIlback. an honor which
his work we'll deserved. He was a
tower OF strength TO the team both
on offense and defense. When the
Trinity ends became crippled, caus-
inc Capt. King TO be shifted from
quarterback TO end, Ferguson filled
the quarterback position and BY his
hendy generalship won several OF the
games in which Trinity was yictori-
GUS In the latter part OF tho foot
ball season. Ferguson knows more
football than any man on the team,
aud he is above all clean sports
man and gentleman on the athletic
field as well as off from Il. He is
very popular with the men and has
the ability to inspire them with a
belief In their own athletic prowess.
His popularity Is shown by the fact
that this is his second election as
captain OF the Trinity team. he hay-
Ing held the position in the fall Of
1913.
Trinity does not lose single man
by graduation this year, and with
Ferguson as leader Trinity viii have

which were chalked up TO the credit

so many men are out of the game
with injuries for such length OF

sidered distinctly in it, another
