FRUIT and FARm

and results in the production of larg-
er, smoother tomatoes.
One of the easiest and most sue
cessful methods of holding the plants
up from the ground is the loganberry
system of trellising. This is arranged
by setting two or three posts in a
row of twelve plants, and mailing on
small cross pieces extending to one
side of the posts. The cross pieces
should be about twelve or fourteen
inches apart, beginning about that
distance from the ground. Horizon
tai wires tightly stretched from the
end posts and attached to the inter-
vening cross pieces will afford con-
venient and ample support for the
vines and fruit.
Another simple method consists in
driving stake for each plant.
The lateral growth between the
axis Of the leaves and the main stem
should be removed as soon as they
appear. If more than one main stem
is desired the strongest Of the later
ais should be permitted to develop
and be trained on the trellis. The
main stems may be allowed to reach
a height of six or six and one half
feet before topping them to increase
the size of the fruit on the upper clus-
ters and induce ripening.
The training of the plants brings
the clusters of blossoms within con-
venient reach and makes hand pollin-
alton much easier.-A. G. Bouquet,
Head of Vegetable Gardening at o.

Talent Church
Achieves Much

On last Sunday the Methodist
church of Talent held a dedicatory
service at which the church which

Died

James w. Robertson died Monady
morning at 1880, at the home of his
son, ]. r. Robertson, $40 Almond
street. He was born March 4, 1922,
and was therefore 95 years and two
months and "a days old at the time
of his death. He was born in Wash
ington county, New York, and be-
came pioneer of Warren county, IL
linois, in 1S49-residing near Mon
mouth, where he farmed. He was a
volunteer soldier in the war with
Mexico and at its close returned to
Monmouth, where he married Miss
Emeline Morgan in 1S49. OF the
four children born to them, three
survive. They are J. r. Robertson
of Ashland, H. G. Robertson Of Spo-
kane, Mrs. Nellie A. Christian of Tar
kio, Missouri. The wife and mother
died in 1868. In 1871 Mr.. Robert
son was married to Mrs. Jennie
Clarke of Warren county, Illinois.
Her death occurred in 1904 and since
that time deceased has lived with
his son in Missouri and Idaho and
Ashland, coming here four years ago,
at which time J. R. Robertson pur-
chased ranch property between Cen
trail Point and Gold Hill and city
property in Ashland Deceased was
remarkably active for a man of his
years and did much for himself
though unable in the past few years
to read. His death was due to a gen.
eral breakdown due to his extreme
age. Funeral services were held at
the residence Monday afternoon at
4 o'clock, Rev. H. A. Carnahan Of

Beans Are Hardy
And Very Prolific

Beans may be used in many forms
and contain high percentages of heat
calories. This vegetable will stand
much abuse and. like most plants,
will give abundant returns for good
care and cultivation.
The stringless (string) bean bears
In abundance and Is easy to can. One
of the hest varieties is Burpee's
Stringless Greenpod.
For sucoesslonal picking three
paintings should be made In the sea-
son. The first planting should be
made at this time, the second one
three or four weeks, later, and the
third about the first of July which
will give fresh pickings about Sep
tember l to TO- Kentucky Wonder
is good late variety, and Dicken-
sons Yount bears pods of unusual
length in great abundance.
The Oregon Pole Lima is one of
the best accimated butter or lima
beans, is very hardy and makes a
good growth even in the coolest sum-
mers. The beans cook nicely and
are of fine flavor. 1t is recommend
ed to those who want a good winter
Lima.
Beans planted for canning pur-
poses and for picking green will re-
spond well to applications of manure
to the soil, and to applications of nj
trate of soda in order that the yield
may be prolonged and the quality of
the beans maintained. Also it is
desirable and important that the
vines have plenty of moisture, other
wise the beans will not be so brittle
and tender. Either a good soil mulch
should be kept or there should be one
or two irrigations during the warm
est parts of the summer.
Nitrate Of soda should be used
sparingly and care should be used
that the crystals do not come in con-
tact with the leaves or stems of the
beans. One or two applications of
rs to 100 pounds per acre each will
be valuable as stimulant for in
creasing the yield and is not expen-
sive. 1t should be hoed in alongside
OF the rows.-A. G. Bouquet, Head of
Vegetable Gardening, o. A. c.

Tomato Raising,

Splendid results may be obtained
In tomato raising. where the garden
space is limited, by setting the plants
closer than usual in the row and
training them to one, two or three
stems, with the lateral growth pruned
off at the axis Of the leaves and the
main stem, This method keeps the
plants and fruit off the ground, gives
the fruit more sun, makes it easier to
work around the vines and allows
longer cultivation Keeping the lat
erals pruned off induces more vigor-
Gus growth in the remaining stems

Conserving Our Food Supply

Conway Boosting
For Coos Special

Friends Of Ashland ever in the
Marshfield country are busy boosting
the proposed excursion from that
community to the Hyiu Hehe and
Roundup The following is copy of
a letter sent by F. e. Conway, former
Ashlander, and who now has extern
sive interests in the Coos Bay coun-
try, to l.. ]. Simpson, the head of the
Marshfield live wires:
May 26, 1917.
Mr.. l.. j. Simpson, North Bend, Ore.
Dear Sir; Inclosed find telegram
which / just received from the chair
man of the Ashland Park Commits
sion. If you go ahead and back an
excursion from Coos Bay to the big
Ashland Roundup you will do much
to promote a good feeling between
these two sections, as much Ashland
money is already being poured into
Coos county for Investments, and, too,
they will appreciate any efforts we
make from this section to boost their
Roundup.
They put on very fine affair
something well worth seeing-and
they have the finest park in the
world. 1t is one of the greatest nat
ural parks to be found anywhere and
the city has just expended $175, 900
bringing in their natural mineral wa
ter and improving this park. They
have lithia, soda, hot and cold sui
phur and many other mineral springs
and many other attractions such as
the natatorium. This section is also
noted for its magnificent fruits.
I think you would find that Coos
county people would greatly enjoy a
trip over there to attend this Round
up as it will not only be the roundup
with all its Indians, string of wild
bucking horses, cowboys, cowgirls
buckaroos, etc., to see, hut they will
see a country entirely different from
this That within itself will be a
novelty and education to some of us.
They will also find a bunch of fine
boosters and genuine good fellows
over there who will do their best to
see that everybody enjoys himself.
I understand the Roundup is set
for July 3, and 5, and that it equals
If not surpasses the Pendleton Round
up. They had an extremely success
full Roundup last year, when their at
tendance reached 10000 per day.
Mrs. Conway and I expect to go
and will be glad to join such an ex-
cursion and to do anything to render
you any assistance. Doubtless num-
Der of people from Coquille, Myrtle
Point and Bandon will be glad to
avail themselves of the opportunity,
particularly If the railroad will give
good rates, and in all probability they
will be glad to do this.
Courteously yours,
F. E. CONWAY.

do whatever he likes with them.
Laughter is infectious, which, of

foundation OF a comedians success.
Sometimes an audience win not

talk, and IL then they defey me / re-
