¢ THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER POLLEN IS QUITE ESSENTIAL Variety of Strawberries With Perfect Flowers Can Produce Fruit Planted by Itself. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) Two types of flowers, imperfect or pistillate, and perfect or staminate, are produced by different strawberry varieties. Imperfect flowers contain pistils but no stamen, while perfect flowers contain both. Pollen which is produced in the stamens is essential to the setting of fruit. A variety with perfect flowers, therefore, can produce fruit when planted by itself, but one with imperfect flowers cannot set fruit unless perfect-flowering plants are near to furnish pollen through the With the Hedgerow System, Here lllustrated, More Berries Are Pro- duced Than by the Hill System. agency of bees or other insects. Where imperfect varieties are used the usual practice in planting is to set one row of a perfect variety for every two or three rows of an imperfect one. ; New varieties are being constantly introduced to the trade, but according to the bulletin, few of them passess any special value as compared with others already more or less well koown, and most of them soon dis- appear from the nurseryman'’s list, or, at ‘least, remain of only local-impor- tance. Origin of “Blue Blood.” The expression “blue blood” had its origin in Spain, dnd was, applied to the aristocrats of Castile and Arra- gon. After the Moors were driven out of Spain, the aristocracy was held to be those who could trace their lineage back to the time before the Moorish conquest, especially to the light-complexioned Goths. Thelr veins naturally appeared through the skin of blue color, while the blood of the masses through their intermarriage with the Moors, showed dark upon their hands and faces. Snake’s Rattles.

Recently two old people in the neigh- borhood were married.

When Albert, king of the Belgians, paid homage the other day in congress to the United States army, which he sald was “the decisive factor in determining the victory,” he was making history. Greeted as “our friend, our defender and ally,” King Albert stood before the senate of the United States and later before the house of representatives to fulfill the main purpose of his long journey to American shores—the expression of ‘Belgium’s gratitude for American aid during the great war. For the first time in history the crowned head of a monarchical govern- ment was an honored guest in the legis- lative halls of the foremost democracy of the world. Beside stood Leopold, duke of Brabant, his son and heir to the Belgian throne, and from her place in the gallery Queen Elizabeth looked downupon a scene unprecedented in American history. Cheers and a thunder of handclapping rang through the staid chamber of the senate as the king entered, escorted by Senator Lodge, while Senator Hitchcock walked beside Prince Leopold. Queen Elizabeth and Mrs, Mar- shall, wife of the vice president, entered the executive gallery at the same moment. % King Albert was seated beside Senator Cummins, presiding over the sen- ate, with the youthful prince at-his right. Senate and galleries rose and cheered again when Senator Gluminlns presented the king, paying tribute to the high courage of the man who had led the heroic little kingdom in its struggle against a mighty foe. The queen was first to appear on the house side. applauded as she entered the executive gallery. The formal announcement of the king's' coming was drowned in a wave of applause as he was recognized at the door. When he walked down the aisle, escorted by former Speaker Champ Clark, there was a roar of “cheers. He was greeted by Speaker Gillett, beside whom' he took his seat.
