fore In many sections subject to late
spring frosts, which often destroy the
crop, these varieties are particularly
valuable.
Small Crop First Season.
II plants OF the everbearlng type are
set early In the spring, n small crop
can be had the first season. Plants
which have been set for n year give
u fair yield at the time the usual
strawberry crop Is borne. For the
period Immediately after this early
summer crop the amount OF fruit &C.
cured Is small. In August, September
and October II becomes larger and I'M
der favorable conditions the late sum
mer or autumn crop from certain varl-
etles may equal or exceed the early
summer crop Thus instend OF n con-
slant supply throughout the season
there Is n distinct early ummer crop,
then n period OF comparative rest
when little fruit Is produced, followed
by a long period when "A fairly uniform
amount Of fruit Is borne.
Wealth + conditions play an lmpor-
tant part In the amount OF fruit pro.
duced during the summer and autumn.
Only when the moisture supply and
other climatic conditions are favorable
can the Yield be constant. For this
reason the results obtained from the
everbearlng varieties have varied
greatly In the different sections OF the
country, and In different years. II a
long drought occurs while the plants
are frulting, the berries become small
and the plants finally cease to bear.
Therefore they are not well adapted
to sections having long droughts ex.
cept when irrigation can be supplied.

VOTE FOR THE CONsTITU.
TIONAL AMENDMENT

On next Tuesday, we will be called
upon to vote on an amendment toI
the constitution that is Of vital i'm
poranoo to the public schools Of Tex
as and therefore Of interest to all
people
The strongest argument that can
be made In favor Of free schools is
that an educated citizen Is a more
sorylceable citizen than an unedu
Gated one This may fail In some In
stances Of course but that does not
change the rule A man can be- Just
as good q man without an education
as he would he with u.e, possibly
but he will be hindered In many
ways Tor lack Of some education
These propositions we take 1t VIII
be granted by all
Now. the amendment referred tt
above is one that will allow the tax
rate for public free schools TO be in
creu sed to the amount OF 10 cents
on the $4,000 II needed. for the
purpose Of buying school books to be
furnished all children Of free-school
age with text books free. The amend
ment will state that the rate Of taxes
viii be allowed to be the sum Of Soc
but In a sense this Is misleading as
we already have 90 cents allowable
for free-school purposes and the In
crease asked for Is only 3 cents,
This would mean for every 500
Of taxable property you have you
win be called upon to pay 10 cents
if that amount was needed to be
used for the purpose Of buying books
whiah are to be furnished TO th'
children of scholastic age absolutely
free.
When your child started TO school,
In within the age, he would go 70
the proper party authorized to dis
tribute the books and receive th'
needed books and use them through
the term allotted for the study oil
that book and you arc not out one
cent for tuition or books In reality
we then get a free school but do not
now. The amount required for each
child for school books is not very
heavy. vet where the family revenue
is already too small, this little
amount may In some instances be-
come burden unbearable, u the
books are with held the entire work
will fail. therefore the books become
very important and II that Is 10
block the purpose Of the free school
education we have allowed q very
small item to hinder a great purpose
II an education is essential and b.

ment has seen III to arrange for the
education Of every boy and girl who
lives In Texas and II We believe tina
this Was wise provision and E
worth the price It costs US, then sure
Iy the small amount asked for in this
amendment Is not asking too much

Japan's Unique Population.

There has never before been a ma.
ton at once so numerous and so homo
geneous as the japanese, says a writer
in Scribner's. Their population is es-
timated at somewhere between 60,OO0,-
600 and 75,0OO,OO0. Their territory,
hardly so extensive as was controlled
by our Revolutionary colonies, con-
tains from half to three-Quarters as
many people as inhablt the whole
United States. This population, too,
is remarkably uniform. Those who
know Japan best agree that, If we ex-
cept the negligible aborigines of some
northern provinces, you can hardly
find among the japanese any differ
ence much more pronounced than
those which might distinguish New
Hampshire from Connecticut. Compare
this with our own country, or with
the widely various races and languages
Of China or of India, or with England,
Scotland and Wales, and you will see
that the patriotism Of Japan has to
sanction its intensity a population
that is unique in human record.
