What Crops Pay Rest.
The regular monthly meeting of tho Door Creek
I'D, III the residence of Mr. BENJAMIN silver, Ir
The question discussed was, what crops pay
best the exhaustion of the soil being considered"
leuJ. SILVER, Sr., said the question might he
answered slIminariIy This way Those crops pay
best that are best attended to. His experience
was mat lhosr crops pay best thHt are common to
this section, namely, wheat, corn, potatoes and
grass. in our mixed system of farming Young
canning men would probably say that ttsna :
and sugar corn pay hest, hut in MS opinion they
exhaust the soil, particularly hy the manner n
which they are raised they tighten the soil and
render II susceptible Of heiu2 carried OFT b, heavy
rains: That matter should BE- considered on our
hily land. when he broke up q billy Geld for
corn, he was careful to follow the corn with
wheat, then with another wheat crop and get the
field In grass. He would therefore say that the
hest paying crops still are wheat grass, corn and
potatoes.
Beuj. Silver, Jr.. believed that different crops
pay profits In different years. Last year corn
paid more than any other crop, and he dill not
know hut that year after year corn would always
pay best 1t costs - per acre to plant, work aud
house the corn So for fertilizers 81 for interest
Yield low, say 10 barrels, ut 80 per Barrel making
$50, or a profit of :l@ per acre. This is % per
cent. ON the Investment, hosi,ics the fodder and
the fertilizer left III the land for the next crop
Mr.. silver did not believe there is much money
in cattle, mt more in sheep. An farmers should
keep cattle, ir for nothing else, TO tramp the
ground. II Il were not for washing rains we
