HOTEL TRADE IN BERLIN.

Berlin, Aug. S.-The steady de- crease in hotel guests during May, June and July this year has alarmed the hotel keepers, who say that the situation is due to the Is per cent special tax on hotel rooms. Berlin is the only large German city that still exacts this tax. In previous years there was a steady increase of hotel guests during May, June and July.

and you may find on every hand suffi- cient to prove most any ordinary as- sertion or even fancied theories. I don't know if any one has ever really tackled the job of estimating the an- nual money loss through the abandon ment of crops. The amount would certainly startle the average American and would be positively unbelievable to producers of the old world. On a recent trip through general farming section the writer was particular to observe to what extent this abominable practice is carried. Every sort of farm endeavor is included and contributes its share to this hateful practice. Pecan and other nut orchards, abandoned to weeds, grasses, disease and insects, that had cost much money to establish. Fruit trees of all sorts, utterly going to wreck and ruin and entirely beyond any hope of retaining. Great fields of corn and cotton with a few stalks here and there still keeping up a fight against the strangle hold of weeds and grasses, utterly abandoned. You may see where the rows were because it was there that the commercial fertiliz- CT was drilled and the luxurious growth of weeds and grasses may be traced. It would be interesting to know the reason for this calamity but there are usually two sides to any proposition and inquiring nearly always leaves one in the dark

or three times or until under control.
 Q. want to plant crop of fall Irish potatoes but heretofore, notwith. standing I used old potatoes out of cold storage I have failed to get a stand through rotting. Could you sug- gest help? w, Montgomery, Ala.
 A. It is difficult to prevent rotting when cold storage potatoes are planted. If you can secure old potatoes that have been kept in cellars you can suc- ceed. A great many people use we'll matured new potatoes, cut them up the same as in spring and bed the cuttings out in sand like sweet potatoes until, they show life and then plant in the usual way. If beds are kept moist, the cuttings show sprouts in 10 days.
 Q. l want to set out large bed of some Towering plant that will bloom promptly and continue to bloom until very late in fall and winter. Could you suggest something? Mrs. S.. Route 9.
 A. I would use Vinca. You can doubtless secure plants and the results would be highly satisfactory. Will suc- ceed in sun or shade.
 Q. I have three young pecan trees that have set nuts but most of them are falling off. What should be done? W. F., Moundville, Ala.
 A. The cause is doubtless from a worm that bores into the bearing twig. Some can be saved by spraying prompt ly with lime, surphur and arsenate of lead-see special letter on subject.

planted, at the some time as the corn: J. V., Guin, Ala.
 A. Pumpkins are successfully grown in corn providing they be fertilized or the soil naturally fertile and the corn not too thick. It is doubtful practice to plant the seed at the same time as the corn because often the pumpkins will cover the ground with vines be- fore the cultivation of the corn is fin ished and thus ball things up. Let the corn get a good start before putting the hills of pumpkins in with the hoe.
 0. I want to SOW either cowpeas, soybeans or velvet beans to turn under for soil improvement only. Which would you prefer to plant as late as last of June? B. w., Ashland, Ala.
 A. Velvet beans would be my choice to produce volume and for a crop sur fty but when they produce a dense growth, they are difficult to blow under. However, their mere rotting on the soil is of great benefit.
 o. When should buck wheat be sown to produce bloom for bees to feed on? Is it fact that buckwheat pro- duces dark honey? W. J., Hartselle, Alabama.
 A. Buckwheat may be sown any time from now until August. The honey from this plant is darker than that from melilotus, white clover and some other plants but the quality is excel lent.
 0. My peturias are beautiful and l would like to know how to treat them in order to prolong the blooming period? Mrs. B., Tuscaloosa, Ala.
 A. Peturias and in fact all other Towering annuals can be made to bloom longer if you will promptly pinch out all seed pads as quick as thep ap- pear. The maturing of seed of most plants does shorten the bearing period. Cultivation, of course, is also essen tial
 Q. am very fond of brussels sprouts but I fail every time in successfully growing them. What is the scret Mrs. l.. D.. Tuscumbia, Ala.
 Brussels sprouts is essentially cool weather plant and must be planted so as to mature in spring or early sum- mer or in the fall and winter. Generally speaking, the seed may be planted al the some time as cabbage and cultivated the same. The scret if any is to pinch out the top of the plant when the small heads begin to make their ap- perance on the stem. Rich, moist, loamy soil is essential.

 NOT AN ACCIDENT
Harvey Tells About His
 Choice For Vice X Presidency

Fourteen times Mir. Coolidge has been nominated for public office and four teen times he has been elected--never once defeated, although, in contentious phrase, always prepared to be-" writes Harvey in the North American Review.
 Technically he became President by the law of succession, but in reality as the spontaneous and untrammeled choice of a thousand delegated repre- sentatives of vast majority of, the American people-the first thus desig- mated in its history by the republican party.
 Mrs. Roosevelt" said the great Theo- dore, in his, happiest irony, when the returns showed his election in 1904, "it affords me great pleasure to inform you that your husband is no longer an accident" ges
 Coolidge was not an accident. His nomination was an abrupt departure from custom. Senator Lenroot was the logical and traditional candidate and his nomination was advocated by the leaders, approved by Mir. Harding and expected by everybody when the weary delegates reassembled to ratify the selection. A better one semed in- conceivable Mir. Lenroot had demon strated notable ability, his integrity was unprecedented, his courage had been test ed and proved, his experience was valu- able. He not only hailed, moreover, from the section where the ticket might require fortifying, but he also appealed strongly to the great liberal element of the party throughout the country as well as to the very considerable number of western voters of foreign birth--the most hopeful adjunct per- ceivable to the reputed conservatism of the candidate for President.
 But suddenly there swept through the great hall loue voice, not from Mass achusetts, not from Vermont, not from the east, but from far-away Oregon !"
 Coolidge! Coolidge!
 The convention stirred with the hay uncertainty of ship trying to pene- trate fog. The thousand delegates rub bed their sleepy eyes and awoke from dreamy lethargy to a thrilling reality. To action, prompt and swift Leaders were forgotten, advice ignored, 'poli- tics' damned! The representatives on the floor, no less quickly than the more responsive crowds in the galleries, felt the impulse, the urge of the millions at home. They had no particular faith in Massachusetts" the home of the rich and favored. They had faith in Cool idge, the farmers son, the tried and true servant of the people,, the official who had given, not gained, the man who had calmly notified Samuel Com pers that

thing be mixed with it? Mrs. D., We tumpka, Ala.
 A. We'll decayed sod is very good for the purpose. For fall or next spring use the sod may be taken up now and placed under shelter to decompose. It is sometimes desirable to use a little lime with it when put to use or a little rotton manure may help.
 Q. We are not bothered with the Mexican bean beetle but there are sev- eral little similar lady bugs that not only do some damage to foliage but they eat the pods. will the some poison destroy these bugs? Mrs. s., Green vile, Ala.
 A. The remedy Cal-Sulphur, success fully used in combating the Mexican bean bettle will control al lother bugs that feed on the snap bean. It is simply n question of poisoning their food and this may be done without damage to humans when ordinary caution is used.
 Q. Can butter beans be profitably fertilized after they commence to bloom? B. C., Wylam, Ala.
 A. It is often profitable to fertilize even after the plants are fruiting. The plant is rather a slow grower and it's life may be prolonged through side applications of fertilizers and yield greatly increased.
 Q. I have a quantity of fine young maple trees, set out three or four years ago, that have become diseased. The trunks and some limbs seem to become rough and the foliage sickly. Could do something for them? Mrs. A. S.. Albany, Ala.
 A. From your letter I am sure the trees are infested with a scale insect known as the maple or oyster shell scale. They should be sprayed at once with lime sulphur, according to in. structions on the container. Repeat at two or three weeks intervals for two

Cultivation also implies that the soil around and in close proximity to tEe plant must be frequently stirred, pull verized, broken up into fine particles, thus aerating, giving the plant chance to breathe and promoting natures chemical changes in the soil which bring about the final results. Any casual observed can note the great diff ference between a poorly and well cul- tivated crop. Any gardener will tell you how much longer a plant lives and yields if kept properly cultivated. There are some crops, owing to their nature that may be laid by after certain pe-. riod in their growth but it is highly important when this period arrives that such crops be clean and the soil in fine physical condition. Keep the flowers and vegetable crops clean if you want them to live normal life.
 Save What You Produce
 How often is it the case to find a producer that is keen to save every cent of money that comes into his pos session but frequently the same person is very wasteful when it comes to conserving the products of his toll which, after all, is money. The pro- ducers of farm, vegetable and fruit crops in the United States annually leave on the ground, that goes to waste every season, enough food to feed every pauper in the world. This great waste is the big factor and makes all the difference between profit and loss on their seasons operations. It is time the farmers or producers of the United States learn to utilize every thing they grow and not expect nature to constantly dump into their laps an overflow of her bounty. There is a way to save this great waste and thus lessen the great burden of production. There would be no necessity for the American farmer to toll the long hours he does if all his production was pro- fitably utilized. There is a strange prejudice with most people about can ned goods or preserved food products of any sort. have seen people pay ten cents for single tomato when a two pound can of choice pack could be purchased for the same money When growers begin to learn that their produce is really money, it may be that they will hang onto it like the nickles and dimes.
 The present is the age of statistics
