SUCCESS IN GROWING DATES

prepared by the United states Depart

Date growing in parts OF the ohlIei

SIacl"S that for years have stood IN the
way of their successful culture. Two
factors were largely responsible Tor
making date growing duubtful-the dlt-
ficulty experienced in ripening the
fruits. and failure of many attempts 10
root offShOOtS of desirable Narletles.
For the study of date culture-Narle-
ties, propagation and curing--two eX-
detrimental date orchards were eStaO-
liShed i'm California where large num-
Der of the best date varieties of the old
world have been tested. In 1910
standardization process of ripenlng the
fruit of the Deglet Moor variety was
discovered, which gave assurance OF
successful production in areas of high
temperature adapted to the culture OF
dates of good quality. The problem or
roofing offShuOts has now been worked
out and no longer offers unusual diff
culties.
Date palms are propagated either by
seed or by offShoots, and no other
method is known. Seed may be plant
ed from the best varieties, but there Is
no assurance to the grower that he will
| get a large percentage of commercial
| dates. The OffShOot of the date palm
is bud at the axil of the leaf; hence
| il is a direct product of the growing
stem and in variety the same as the
parent plant.
! The only thoroughly satisfactory
method yet devised for roofing young
date OffshoOts consists in the use of a
heavily manfred nursery bed with a
cloth-covered frame or shed so con-
structed as to give maximum heat and
humidity. Water must be applied In
ample and regular quantities.
Frequent irrigation and the mainte'
nance of a high degree of soil fertility
by the use of manure, mulches and
cover crops are essential to healthy
growth and to the production of fruit
in paying quantities. First-class dates
suitable for market can be produced
only on soils in a high condition of fer
tility and filth. This condition is mos
readily maintained on well-draineC
sandy loan. Heavy soils need specia
attention to insure the proper penerra
ton of the roots and distribution o.
water.
The pruning of bearing palms should
consist merely in the removal of ole
leaves. up TO the fruit stem of TIT
former crop. Young palms should no
be allowed to produce heavy crops .
fruit, as this would be done at the eS
pense of OffshOot growth. AT the pres
ent stage of the industry the produc
ton of offshoOts of proved varieties

SHOWS SAGAClTY OF THE RAT
Method nv Which Rodents Steal Eggs
Is Admirable in the lngenu-
ity Displayed.

A careful student of the rodent
tribe writes: NO single point better
illustrates the sagacity of the rat than
the way in which it eats an egg. IL
bites through the shell and chips on
small fragments as neatly as a SOUR
rel opens nut. consumes the en-
tire contents without splitting drop
and then sits up and licks itself clean
like a cat. Rats will steal the eggs
from under setting hen. Their
method of handling eggs Is also char-
acteriStic. All egg is as large for
rat as barrel is for man, ana
much more fragile. Yet there is evil
,lence of the fact that they pass eggs
along from one to another. although
not probably, as has often been re-
ported, by forming long lines. like a
bucket brigade. The operation is NAT
urally a difficult one to observe. but
apparently il takes two rats To each
egg. One holds the egg in its paws,
passes IL on to the other, and then
runs ahead to take il once more in ITS
| turn. The same device seems To
be employed to carry an egg down
| stairs, the one that has the egg passing
It to companion standing on the
step below"

"OId kinq Cole"

The first reference To "Old King
Cole" the. merry old soul of the IA
nous nursery rhyme. was made in
book written by DIR. William King, who
was born in 1893. II is probable that
the song was composed in the seven
teenth century, although some investi-
gators think II much older. Halliwell
Identifies the merry monarch with
Cole or Coel,, semi-mythical king of
Britain who is supposed to have
reigned in the third century. The Scots
also have an "Old King Coul," said
To have lived i'm the fifth century.
Freeman and other historians say
King Cole ruled Britain in the sixth
century. There are many who assert
that the reference to the pipe indicates
that Old King Cole lived ut period
after Raleigh had introduced tobacco
into Europe. hut this does not neces-
sarily follow. as pipe might mean a
musical instrument.

USE OF REMNANT ON WARSHIP
Writer Traces Its Origin to Days
When Vessels Were Generally
Commanded by Soldiers.

A contributor to Chambers Journal
is authority for the statement that the
naval pennant, or pendant, came into
use long before the days of Admiral
Blake, who commanded the English
navy I'm the war with the Dutch IN the
seventeenth century, we are told. when
seamen were mere nObodieS. At that
time there were no such things as reg
ular men-of-war. and ordinary mer-
chant ships were hired or cOmman-
deered for use as fighting vessels
whenever the necessity arose. The
requisitioned ships were commanded
by military officers. gentlemen in ar
NOR, who transferred the single-trail
pennons borne on their lances to the
mastheads of their ships.
In larger vessels or squadrons the
commanders might be knights or
knights banneret. who flew their swal-
! lowtailed and square banners when
| they risked themselves afloat. Going

an adventure. especially If Il man fell

down to pOsterity in the cOmmOdorts'
