climates.
From now until the last of October
is the best time for planting. The
strawberry plant delights in a cool
season and if set during the fall will
J become well established by spring and
be able- to resist the crought which
occurs more or less every summer.
W Many failures in planting are due to
m the fact that the plants are put out
too late in the season.
In selecting plants for the new bed,
only the strongest and best of the present
year's runners siould be used. To
HiRtin^nish new nlants from the old,
L the roots are always white in color
^L^while those of old plants are always
fclack, It is desirable, previous to
y planting, to remove all the younger
W leaves, allowing only a few of the oldf
er ones to remain, which will greatly
k lessen evaporation. Also the ends of
the roots should be sheared in to about
one-third to one-half if they are very
long. Wihile planting, carry tie plants
in a pail of water.
w. There are many methods of plantL.
ing. A common mistake of amateurs
B?is to scoop out a shallow hole and
L; thrust the plant in it, leaving the roots
W a crumpled moss with their tips near
the surface where they quickly dry
y out. To avoid this, make a deep hole
B until a spade or long-poiniea-trowei,
W insert the roots and spread them out
W fan shape, allowing them to hang, down
r full length. In this way, every part
of the root system will be in contact
with the soil and kept constantly
moist. Bo careful not to set the plants
* too high or too low. If the crown or
^ heart is below the surface, after the
;Soil settles it is smothered; if mucn
W w above, the roots are dried out. The
aim should be to put the crown just
at the surface.
In the sprirg, runners will begin to
form. There are various methods of
training thesa runners all of which
have strenuous advocates. However,
for the home grower, the? hill system
is undoubtedly the most satisfactory.
^'^.The pjaiits *are placed fourteen to
^ eighteen inches apart in the row a^u
all runners kept removed except a
few, trained with the row to produce
new plants. Tnere will not be quite
so much fruit produced as with some
of the matted row systems, but it will
be much larger and of superior quality.
The first season all the fruiting
stems are pinched off as they appear
bo that the entire strength of the plant
f will be directed to the development of
the .crown and foliage parts. By the
end of the season, the plants should
havo thir?k hroad crowns, each hold
ing tile rudiments of several stalks of
berries and containing plant food to
aid in the production of a miximum
crop the second season from planting.
A strawberry bed may bear from
three to five crops if given extra good
care, but it is better to allow the
plants to fruit only twice. As the- bed
gets older, the plants become weakened
and often diseased. For the highest
grade berries, the plants should
be allowed to fruit only once and a
new bed set annually.

large number of varieties from which
we may choose, yet only a conparative
few are especially adapted to
Southern conditions. The Excelsior
as an early berry; the Lady Thompson
and Klondyke as medium berries, and
the Grandy and Aroma as late varieties
are among the best for the Southern
home grower. These will give a
succession of. choice fruit
LEO FRA>K DENIED 5EW TRIAL.
Appeal Will be Taken to the Supreme
Court of Georgia.

Atlanta, Ga., .October 31.?Leo. M.
yrank, whpse motion for a new trial
for the murder of Mary Phagan, today
was denied by Judge L. S. Roan,
of the Fulton County court, this after
noon prepared to taKe nis case to lae
supreme court of Georgia. Tonight it
was said that attorneys for the convicted
man practically had completed
drafting a bill of exceptions, on the
strength of which they will continue
their fight before the highest tribunal
4-kf thp State.
The bill of exceptions, it was said,
will embody practically the same allegations
of error contained in the motion
for a new trial. These charges,
among numerous other counts, prejudice
on the part of two jurors and that
several popular demonstrations in and
near the court room had influenced the
verdict. Counsel for Frank also contended

trial.
It was said by Frank's attorneys that
the words of Judge Roan in announcing
his ruling today would b= incorporated
in the bill of exceptions.
Judge Roan, before whom the case was
tried, 6aid:
"I have heard all the evidence in

am not thoroughly convinced either
as to the guilt or innocence of the defendant."
Frank, whose sentence to death
was indefinitely suspended pending a
final ruling upon the validity of his
conviction, tonight maintained his
hopeful attitude. He would add nothing
to his statement earlier in the day,
in which he expressed his disappointment
at Judge Roan's decision, but
said he was not discouraged over the
outlook.
EOADS WIN MILEAGE FIGHT.
Ticket Exchange, Says I. C. C., No Discrimination.
"Washington, October 31.?The sale
of intrcbangeable mileage books with
1
the requirement that the coupons be
excnangea ior uuA.ci,a uciui c & ju m ney
is begun was Iheld by the interstate
commerce commission today to
be neither discriminatory nor in violation
of law.
The deci^on was reached in a proceeding
prompted by a complaint of
the railroad commission of South Carolina
directed against the practice of
the Southern Railway and other roads
operating in the South, which require
that mileage shall be exchanged for

passed by the Georgia legislature "was
vetoed by the governor.
The railroads thereupon adopted a
regulation that coupons from mileage
books would not be accepted in exI
change for a ticket for a journey whol
ly within the State of South Carolina.
A new form of mileage book was issued
for interstate travel in that State.
The State authorities complained to
the commission that South Carolina
was being discriminated against. In
its decision, however, the commission
I
holds hat the complaint "was based
upon a desire to secure discriminatory
advantages."
In the belief of the commission and
of Commissioner Marble, who prepared
the opinion, such inconveniences as
are caused to travelers by the use of
the exchange mileage books can be removed
easily by increased efficiency
in station operation.
