THE CROP OUTLOOK,


Fields Of early potatoes are looking
finely. In two weeks the crop will be
in the markets for sale at reduced
price. July we find potatoes in the
hill the size of hens egg. The pota-
to vines have made luxuriant growth
and are almost free from beetles.
There is a call for nice, sweet, tender
beets. Bunch onions sell slowly. The
crop of peas is light and have sold very
readily at 40c per peck. The cold
weather makes sweet corn look yellow
and sickly. Perhaps few days of hot
sun will make great change in the
crop. Weeds are the farmers pests
this season. Cultivate and hoe every
day in the week and still there are
weeds. After every shower they turn
up their heads and grow. Why was
man cursed with weeds? A farmer
who raises crop Of grain or vege-
tables this year must do it by the
sweat of his brow.
