The Perfect Hardness of the Lilac Makes 1t Popular
Towering Shrub for Northern Lattudes and Hybrid
izers Producing New Varieties Keep Up the
Interest in This Old Time Favorite

The lilac Is a shrub. which has lost
none of its popularity with age. Per-
haps this is due partly to the fact
that il has received much attention
from the hybridizers. with the result
that handsome new kinds are continu-
ally being introduced. This serves TO
keep up the interest of the buying
public which is fond of novelties.
The ironclad hardness OF the old fash
Toned lilac must have much of the
credit, though. 1t can be depended
upon to grow almost anywhere and
TO keep on growing for many years. 1t
is known to be a fact that George
Washington brought lilacs to this
country from England and planted
them at Mount Vernon, and the speci-
mems growing there now are believed
10 be these selfsame plants. II not,
they are at least their descendants.

LIME FOR CLUB ROOT.

AS worked out in tests at the Ohio
experiment station, the easiest way to
control club root in cabbage and
caulifower is TO apply quicklime to
the soil at the rate OF about 400 pounds
to the square rod. The caustic effect
OF the lime destroys the disease. The
lime is also a soil amendment and is
valuable in producing larger yields.

are allowed to go to seed where they
are grown. Roguing. as the process is
called, that is taking out the inferior
specimens. is done with the hoe sew
eral times during the season when the
plants are small.
The plants are grown in rows two
feet apart and four or five inches
apart in the row.
The tops are harvested when the
pods have nearly ripened. The tops
are cut and laid in piles and left to
dry. They are then hauled TO the
barn and stacked loosely to thoroughly
dry before threshing.

A Progressive Church Move.

The country will watch with sym
pathetic interest the effort of the Prot
estant Episcopal church to develop some
substitute for the American saloon. An
nouncement Is made from New York that
the church proposes to raise fund Of
S20000000 within the next three years,
large part of which viii be used at
home in the effort to establish such a
substitute. The raising of such a large
sum OF money is an ambitious project,
but if it promises practical solution Of
this social problem probably consider
able money outside of the church mem
bership will be contributed because the
question is broader than any denomina-
ton.
The statement issued by a committee
asks the following important questions:
HAS the church no message or act
OF sympathy and helpfulness for the mil
lions in our land who after July will
be deprived Of the only social center pro-
vided for themi The saloon has served
community need. Cannot the church
provide better? You cannot take
something away from a man without
giving him something in return"
In this act the Episcopal church has
contributed the most advanced thought
and policy Of the country on the ma
tionsl prohibition movement. All other
denominations have confined their efforts
to the securing Of prohibitive act, the
taking away from or denial to large
class of citizens the only social life and
amusement they know The social hab-
its Of man cannot be suppressed but
they may be improved and a satisfactory
substitute for the saloon would be a
strong influence in such an improve
ment.
We are glad to see such broad and
liberal policy adopted by a church and
wish for the movement the greatest de-
gree of success -Brattleboro Reformer.
