lido a parar al osario por una c%asuali-

verguenza para la nacion que asi OIL

que la poesia del ilustre cantor de las

Ruth Law, the champion woman aVi-

near Norfolk, Va. and saw Victor Carl
rom rise to a height Of several thous-
and feet in her new triplane, built es-
pecially for her use in her proposed
trip from San Francisco to New York
next spring.
Carlstrom flew over Hampton Roads
and then circled Newport News and
Fort Monroe. The average speed was
more than sevcnty-five miles an hour,
and better could have been made. The
machine behaved beautifully. and Miss
Law clapped her hands with glee
when she saw it glide and rise grace

After supper Duane stole out for

Longstreth's door open, flashing
broad bar of light in the darkness.
Lawson crossed the threshold, the
door closed, and all was dark again
outside. Not a ray Of light escaped
from the window. Duane tiptoed to
the door and listened, but could hear
only murmer Of voices. Besides,
that position was too risky. He went
round the corner Of the house.
This side Of the big adobe house
was of much older construction than
the back of the larger part. There
was narrow passage between the
houses. leading from the outside
through to the patio.
This passage now afforded Duane
nm opportunity, and he decided to
avail himself Of 1t in spite Of the
very great danger. Crawling on very

DEMAND FOR DoMESTICATED BLACKBERRY

to try them. Most any soil viii do for
them, but like the wild varieties that
always manage TO get into a patch of
leaf mold or other good soil. the tame
varieties will do much better if they
are given a fairly moist and rather
fertile place to grow. Moisture is very
necessary or the berries will be small.
hard and tasteless. In picking wild
blackberries, did you ever notice that
the finest, biggest, sweetest and black
est ones always grew in the edge o. n
woods and In low, moist place?
Put out the blackberry cuttings In
rows just as soon as the frost is out
of the ground. Leave plenty of space
between the rows for full-grown vine
takes up an amazing amount of room.
Put the canes not closer than three
feet apart in the row. In little while
after the vines get a good start they
will mat together in such a way that
you can't get through them unless they
have been given plenty of room from
the start.
Garden Crop Between Rows.
If the spring is wet the berries will
get along all right, but If there is a
long dry period within a few weeks
after they are put out it will be best
to water them little from time to
time. The first two or three years after
they are put out some sort of garden
crop should be grown between the
rows, as this will loosen the soil and
help the blackberry canes.
1t is a good plan to continue the Gull
tivatlon indefinitely, as the vines will
choke each other out by growing be-
tween the rows If they are left undis-
turbed. Little canes will start up all
summer long unless they are kept
down by cultivation. If left to them
selves they will quickly take up all
the space between the rows of older
canes.
Cutting back should be steadily pluc-
ticed. Do this pruning in the win
ter taking out the old and dying stalks
and making room for the new ones.

HEAVY TOLL TAKEN
BY USELESS WEEDS
Of Great Importance to Corn
Crop to Kill Noxious Plants
and Conserve Moisture.

Why do you cultivate corn? There
are q number of reasons but, perhaps
paramount among all of them, is this
one-to kill weeds. And why kill
weeds? To conserve the moisture In
the soil which heavy crop of weeds
would normally remove-and thus In
crease the corn yield. While it is of
recognized Importance to save mois-
ture by forming a dust mulch when
cultivating, it is equally as important
TO kill the weeds, to hold the mois-
ture in the soil.
The heavy toll which weeds take
from the yield of the corn crop has
been shown in experiments at the Uni
versity Of Illinois.
Plots at the university, that were
well prepared for corn, but in which
the weeds were allowed to grow, pro.
duced only 7.3 bushels per acre as an
eight-year average, while plots just by
the side with the ground prepared and
the corn planted in the same way, but
the weeds kept down by scraping with
hoe, produced 45.9 bushels, or an
increase of $50 bushels of corn per
acre.
Experiments further show that for
the dry seasons 1911, 1913 and 1914
the uncultivated plots tweeds kept
down by scraping with hoe) produced
an average of Alb bushels, while the
cultivated ones produced 1913 bushels
or difference of nine bushels in
favor of no cultivation. This cult.
walton was done with three-shovel
cultivator to depth of about three
inches, or the usual depth with n cuI.
tivator of this kind.
