this time of their great bereavement
that, in common with them we deplore
the loss and we trust the same God

RAISE MORE POTATOES |


What's the matter with the Ameri
can farmers that they do not raise
enough potatoes to supply the demand
in the United States ? 1t may be news
to many that they do not, but the sta
tistician Of the agricultural depart
ment, in his monthly report for April,
shows this 10 be the case. We import
something like six million bushels a
year from great Britain and Canada,
as well as smaller amounts from Hol-
land, Belgium and Germany.
Of course we export potatoes also,
but the imports exceed the exports of
this toothsome tuber. Within the
past ten years we have imported "a, ,00O
900 bushels more than we exported;
for which we paid over $4,000, 900.
This very tidy sum should have gone
into the pockets of our own farmers.
Now that there is such a narrow mar
gin of profit in wheat raising, why do
not some of our wheat farmers turn
part of their acreage into potato fields?
There is more money in the crop than
in wheat. Perhaps. however, the fact
that potatoes require more attention
than wheat, especially in the matter of
keeping the Colorado beetles from des-
troying the plants, may explain the
disinclination of our farmers to raise
potatoes. Toledo Blade:

LOCAL FARM NOTES.

LOCAL FARM NOTES.
Corn planting has been general this
week. 1t is observed, however, that
many farmers are in no hurry to plant
this crop. Experience for several
years past has shown that late plant
ing generally does the best. Last year
the heaviest crops were planted late in
June, on land from which crop of
crimson clover seed had just been har-
vested. The acreage planted to corn
this year in lower Delaware will be
larger than usual, the price-50 cents
being stimulant.
Wheat is fourishing, owing to re-
cent rains and present warmth. The
plants are now heading, and at least
an average yield is the promise. Far
mers who have looked upon wheat
with scorn for two years past, now
view this crop with more favor since
the price of new wheat promises to be
70 to IS cents.
Crimson clover is beginning to bloom,
and in few days fields of this grass
will be beautiful sight with billows
of scarlet blossoms. The season for
cutting this crop for hay will be about
the Goth instant-a week or more later
than usual. Much of it will be cut
for hay, since the price of seed prom
ises to be low.
Asparagus has grown rapidly this
week, which marks the highest of the
season. The price in the cities has
been low, and the Milford market
overstocked.
Strawberries are in full bloom, and
promise heavy yield. In this sec
tion few will ripen before June. The
acreage set in new beds on the Penin-
sula this year is much greater than u.s.
ual, and the same reports are received
from all over the country, Those who
forecast the future predict glut of
straw berries for next year.
The peach crop is damaged to the ex-
tent that it cannot be full one. An
estimate of the average is not yet prac-
ticable, but the crop may not exceed
half full one. Some of those who
bought their peach baskets are now
anxious to sell them at low figure.
Apple trees have been in full bloom
this week. A full crop is promised.
Cherries and plums were greatly dam
aged by the late storm. Pears were
also hurt by the continued wet weather,
but many are yet alive.-News and
Advel tser.

Looked Like a Cheap Place.


Some time ago a Cincinnati man
came to New York. 1t was his first
trip. He was hungry, and came up
Broadway looking for restaurant. 1t
happens that the Broadway side of
Delmonico's is a cafe, plain, with uD-
covered tables, like well-appointed
bar-Ioom. "That looks like a cheap
place." mused our Cincinnati friend.
"No tableclo. hs, and fellows smoking
and drinking" He looked up. There
was no name, and he went in and took
a seat. A gOurmand near by had an
elegant repast. "Bring me the same
as that fellow has," said our Cincin-
natl hungry man. "My, my, but it was
good meal" he said. in describing il
afterward. "But, holy smoke When
