1t seems strange to me that so many
will recommend planting the main crop
In the early spring. 1t is all right to
plant a limited amount early. but for
the main crop we have found 1t best to
plant from the 1st to the 18th of June.
This may look late to a great many,
but the finest potatoes we ever raised
grew where we plowed up a strawber-
ry patch, after 1t had fruited, and
planted 1t the 18th of June. However,
do not recommend as late planting as
that, neither do I favor blowing the
ground and planting at once. To be
certain of a good late crop the ground
should be well undetermined, either
naturally or artifcially, should be a
clover sod and plowed early, that 1t
may become settled before planting
time and retain the moisture.-Cor. Ma.
tional Stockman.

RECEIPTS OF GOVERNMENT.
For the Month of September They
show Slight Decrease over
Same Period Last Year

For the first time in several wears
the monthly receipts of the govern
ment are less than in the CORES pond
ing month of the year before The
total receipts in September were S44.-
434,422, against $45.3O4.3 26 in Sep
TENDER, 1900. The expenditures for
the same month were less by more
than S12,00O.O00 than they were last
year, so on the whole the condition
of the current finances of the treas
ury is better at this time than II was
Il year ago.
This more favorable condition is en-
phasized when it is considered that a
considerable burden of taxation has
been removed. and it was the reduc-
ton of the internal revenue taxes that
caused the total treasury receipts for
last month TO fall below those of Sep
TENDER, 1900. The repeal of a partsof
the war taxes brought about a reduc-
ton in September Of about $500. 900
The customs receipts also Sho~ed a
falling off of several hundred thousand
dollars.
The treasury receipts last month
were as follows:
Customs. $40. iG0,6f%: internal rev.
enue. S22.433.05f; cellaneouS 81
S4o.553. The expenditures amounted
to $32.310,73G, the surplus of receipts
over expenditures therefore betn" S12.-
123.6sG. The September expenditures
last year wers $50. 1G9.97' AMI -he -ur-
plus was little more than $4,000, 900.

SHOWS STEADY INCREASE.
Trade Of United states with ISLANDS
of West Indian Group Makes
Significant showing.

The growing disposition Of the ls-
LANDS and countries adjacent 70 The
United States, and especially those OF
the West Indian group. to trade with
the United States is illustrated by
some figures Just received by the treas
ury bureau OF statistics regarding the
commerce Of Jamaica. These are con-
tanned in a British colonial report on
Jamaica for 1599-19O0. They sho" that
of the exports Of jamaica. 81 per cent.
were sent to the United States in 1876,
while in 1900 the share sent 10 he
United States was $50 per cent. 70
the United Kingdom. the share in 1876
was go per cent, and IN 1900 ~ per
cent The report says: The value OF
the exports from Jamaica which 20 20
the United States continues 10 Increase
in total value and in proportion to he
whole amount Of the trade. The eX-
ports TO the United Kingdom diminish
steadily. This tendency is large,A due
TO the development Of the fruit trade,
which has hitherto been almost eA-
clusiyely with the United States.
The increase in exports TO the United
States has been accompanied by an IN
crease in the percentage of jamaican
imports which come from the Htted
States. In 1896 the percentage Of Ja-
maican imports taken from the nit
ed States was AS per cent. and in 1900
43 per cent: while the proportion from
the United Kingdom. which in 1896 vas
4S.1 per cent. was in 1900 47.2 per cent.
In neither imports nor exports does
the trade with Canada show any in
crease. Of the exports. 1.6 per cent.
went 10 Canada in 1896. and the same
proportion in 1900: while of the i'm
