Although the raspberry will "suc-
ceed on a wide range of toll types pro-
vided suitable moisture conditions pre-
vail the test results will bo secured
ohly by studying the peculiar require
ments of the different varieties A
fine deep sandy loam Is perhaps the
most desirable coil for growing rasp-
terries because It Is managed so eas-
ily Equally good yields of some va-
rieties will be secured on clay and on
sandy soils if they are well managed
In general however though tho black
raspberries seem to do best on sandy
soils they are grown extensively and
succeed well among clay soils Among
the red raspberries the Ranere does by partially protected from the wind
best on sandy types but the June pre-1 end son
tern a clay soil Other varieties inch
as the Cuthbert and King succeed on
wide range of soil types There the
soil requirements of varieties are
known they are indicated In the char-
acterisations given on later pages of

NEW KIT BAGS WILL COST MORE
The kit bags which will be fur-
nished the drafted men of the sec-
ond draft will cost considerable more
than the ones given the boys of the
first draft and for this reason there
is an immediate need for more money
in the Soldiers’ Kit Bag Fund
The khaki cloth of which the bags
are made is more expensive and the
articles to fill the bags must be pur-
chased in this city aa the American
Red Cross no longer handles them
This also adds to the cost
Those who not already contributed
to this fund are asked to bring their
“bit’’ to The Star office as it is the
wish of the ladies of the Red Cross
and the others who are working on
the plan that not a Nowata county
boy shall leave this county without
one of the kit bags

fund are acknowledged: Mrs Frank

Mike Banowetz yesterday bought
the Peter Miller farm of 160 acres
six miles southwest of Coffeyville
and one-half mile north of the state
line in this county J K Beatty of
Coffeyville making the sale Mr
Miller will give possession October
This farm is well improved and has
two large springs and ponds Mr
Banowetx bought the farm as an in-
vestment and expects to make some
further improvements
f the Royal would not be considered a
good plant of the Columbian
In case the plunte are not to be set
Immediately they should be heeled in
that Is a trench should be dug and
the roots placed in it and covered with
moist solL In order to work the soli
thoroughly about the roots of each
plant it will be necessary to open the
bundles and spread the plants along
the trench Sometimes it is drrirable
to wet the roots or if they are very
dry to soak them for a few hour be-
fore heeling in the plants
Just before setting it la well to dip
the roots of the plants in a puddle
made of clay and water or cow ma-
nure and water The roots are there-
Plsnta affected with crown-gall
should not be set Thli disease can
be recognised by the knots and swell-
ings which appear on the roots and
about the crown Such diseased plants
are very much lees productive than
healthy stock

FATAL END
of raspberries is the moisture supply
and where there is the possibility of a
choice the soil which will furnish an
ample supply of moisture at aU times
should be chosen At no time how-
ever should there be wet places in
the plantation Thorough drainage as
Advantages and Disadvantages sf Both
prlng and Fall Work Must
Ba Considered
(From the United State Department ot
Agriculture)
In deciding the time to plow the ad-
weU as a full supply of moisture 1 stages end disadvantages of both
1 spring and fall plowing muat be taken
Into consideration Heavy faU rains
essential
Another important factor is air
drainage Cold air settles to the low-
er levels and plantations situated on
land elevated above the surrounding
fields will not be subject to the ex-
treme cold of winter as plantations on
the lower levels Winter Injury to the
canes may often be avoided by choos-
ing n site higher than the surrounding
country Furthermore plantations on
the higher elevations are not as sub-
ject to frost Injury in late spring as
those not so favorably located
In the Southern states a fourth fac-
tor fn the selection of a site is of some
Importance If raspberries are to be
grown In those states s northern or
northeastern slope is preferred for the
plantation as humus and moisture are
retained better Infields on such slopes
than on southern slopes -
For home gardens the chicken yard
Is frequently a desirable place for tbe
raspberry patch Poultry keep down
weeds and enrich the soil and do not
often barm the berries
Preparing ths Land
The same thorough preparation of
the soil should be given for a raspberry
plantation aa for corn or similar crops
For tbe best results the plants should
never be set in a field which has Just
been In sod but should follow some
hoed crop Land which produced a
crop of potatoes the previous year and
which has later been plowed and thor-
oughly pulverized is in the best physl
cal condition for settling the plants
and any field on which crops have been
grown which leave the soil in a similar
condition is prepared properly for rasp-
berries 1
Planting
The time of planting raspberries var-
ies in different parts of tbe United
States according to local conditions
In general however tbe plants should
be set In early spring in the Eastern
part of the United States but on the
Pacific coast they should be set during
the rainy season whenever It is pos-
sible to do the work
Because better plants of tbe black
nnd purple varieties can be secured
In the spring that is the best season
for setting them Red raspberries
however may be set in the autumn
with good success in sections where
the Printers are mild or where there is
a good covering of snow to protect the
plants
Occasionally when growers wish to
set s new plantation they wait a month
after growth starts in the spring and
use the suckers that come np daring
that month in their established plan-
tation If the season is favorable this
practice may prove satisfactory If
however a drought occurs soon after
the young plants will suffer severely
Only In sections where the climate la
favorable la toll practice to be rec-
ommended -
Handling Nursery 8 took
It must be remembered that toe root
systems ot nursery plants of ths dif-
ferent varieties vary greatly and what
constitutes a good nursery plant of
one variety may be a poor plant of an-
other variety Thus toe Royal a pur--
pie variety rarely makes as large a
nursery plant as dogs- the Columbian
Consequently si good nursery plant
Indicate that fall plowing should be
done as the gain of moisture during
toe winter by toe stubbie land prob-
ably would not equal the loss of mois-
ture taken by toe weeds in the feiL If
only light rains occur however the
moisture in the soil produced by these
rains probably would be more than off-
set by the greater quantity of snow
held by toe stubble during the winter
and toe reduction of the weeds in toe
crop Spring plowing would then be
better The availability of labor in the
fall and winter will Influence the
amount of plowing done but a greater
effort should be made to do the plowing
if there is heavy precipitation than if
the rainfall is light The only advan-
tage in late fall plowing is that toe
amount of spring labor in preparing
toe seedbed le reduced This advan-
tage however may be offset by re-
duction in the yield
Mrs Rebecca Lamb ths wifs of

THE CALL FOR WHEAT
: WORLD’S WORST PEST
The world's worst animal pest
la toe raL
It carries toe germs of bubonic
plague and many other diseases
fatal to man
It destroys annually in toe
United States property worth
$200000000 equivalent to the
gross earnings of an army of
200000 men
It eats enough grain on many

and leave a margin
Why not join In and fight the
ruts? You enu get valuable sug-
gestions as to methods In Farm-
ers’ Bulletin 896 United States

Washington D C
The moral is plain - Large nura- ’
bars of our people must eat no wheat
whatever for three month or this
great task w have undertaken is
doomed to ignominious failure Al-
ready th great hotels have taken the
pledge Men and women of independ- j
ent means have fallen into lino
Which would yon rather — eat wheat

CONTROL DISEASE OF ONION
Department of Agriculture to Assist In
Fight en Root-Rot— Big
Losses Recorded
(From the United States Department of
Agriculture)
Root-rot a very destructive storage
rot of onions occurs in many states
losses of from 25 to 75 per cent in
white onion sets having been recorded
Iq the onion-growing districts in the
vicinity of Chicago and In northern In-
diana Red and yellow onions are not
attacked ns seriously as the white va-
rieties In order to combat this mal-
ady toe United Stoles department of
agriculture next season Is to assist
growers in testing a method of con-
trolling the disease with the hope of
potting the method on a practicable ba-
sis for commercial nse Specialists of
the department will be assigned to tbe
districts affected to advise the fanners
and to help in toe installation and
equipment of necessary structures
Many 8mall Potatoes Wasted
There are nearly 120000000 bush-
els of small potatoes wasted In toe
United Slates every year aU of which
! be used in niaMng bread
Ths wheat situation of tho world
daily becomes more scuts It has now
become a race between three factors
with the odds against onr aide The
three factors are the approach of ths
next harvest at which time the wheat
problems of the allies should be
greatly alleviated if not solved the
rapid diminution of stocks among the
allied nations and the strenuous con-
servation measure put into effect by
the patriotic citizens of the Unitod
States in their efforts to piece ont a
narrow surplus for an anxious world
Among these factors the next har-
vest creeps forward all too slowly
the supply in the bins of the allies is
sinking with rapid pace If the situ-
ation were limited to these two— if it
were a competition between them
alone — the race would already be
lost It is only increased conserva-
tion among American citizens that
will keep starvation from being the
victor
The allies muat and will ba fed
Americans must and will save Their
food supply has already been pro-
tected There ia no danger to them
The time has ' come to shovel the
wheat by carloads and shiploads into
the transportation channels that lead
to Europe America can live on the
plentiful remainders the corn meal
the potatoes the meat all of which
by grace of nature and careful con
servation are abundant
The food administration has re-
cently put forth some stirring calls
for wheat saving America as a whole
must cut her wheat consumption in
half and more than half From 42-
000000 bushels a month she must
cut her consumption to 20000000
To accomplish this each American
must cut his individual consumption
to six pounds a month Out of the
limited stocks in the country we must
save our stocks for seed some 80-
000000 we must retain a safe carry-
over we must feed our own citizens
and the United States with Canada
must send to the allies 40000000
bushels of wheat a month
