The Clarke Courier, in an article
commenting upon the prospect OF
nIentv of work abaad cove.

commenting upon tue prospect OF
plenty of work ahead, snys:
"Our farmers. too. should awake to the YER
itics of the situation. During the coming sum-
mer the population of BerryviIIc will probably
be more than doubled. There will be more to
feed; and the new corners will more tn IN treble
the consumption, for they will depend upon the
daily markets for all supplies of food. Besides
u cannery will be in operation that will need
for its proposed output about 40 600 bushels of
fruit. corn and vegetables. If any Farmers
Alliance man should smile at the idea of a sim
gle cannery making home market let him
calculate how much land it will take to raise
100, 900 bushels of stuff" For that is about
what first-class cannerY eats up in one sum-
mer. 1t will be time enough In April to think
about planting sweet corn, but it is not too
crop"
What is said by our neighbor ap-
plies with equal force to Charlestown
and the farmers of Jefferson, and
these matters are worthy of serious
consideration.

Generally the manure that consists

be planted Is one that will require moro
or less cultivation.
With commercial fertilizers, or such

general commercial fertilizers. fos I'll

the soil in q good tilth ready for the
seed and then scatter the fertilizer
broadcast over the surface and then
work into the soil with harrow. For
nearly or quite all straw crops, like
grass or hay, oats, wheat, barley or
rye, the manure or fertilizer should be
near the surface and should - . rule
be applied after the soil is plowed, and
In many cases it will be best.

cial fertilizers, to harrow and
work the soil into . good tilth
for the seed before applying. With
corn, potatoes or other cultivated or

should be worked little deeper in

commercial manures is tomarh out tho

With fall wheat or hay, or with
meadows and pasture lands, with either
animal manures made on the farm or

plan is to top dress, hoeing reasonably

sible over the surface. Salt can be ap.
piled in this way to wheat, and ashes to
meadows Lime, plaster or other ma

in the winter or early spring, win b

and will be taken up and retained By
