realized the United Telephone and
Telegraph company have been a great
benefit to Sunbury in more ways than
one. Men have been given employ
ment and a considerable sum Of money
is disbursed regularly every month.
Just while we're on this subject we
want to say a few things that i'll all
fairness are due much abused corp
Grafton and its employees For the
latter we would say that there is no
set of store clerks or any party of girls
serving the public that are forced to
take so much abuse from the public
and must stand for it without any
known recourse, or if there was any
they would be too lady-likc to take 1t.
The wonder is that through it all
their patience remains anything like
its normal self and that they don t
forget themselves once in a while.
Looking at it calmly, no one would
have daughter or sister subjected TO
the indignities heaped on these hard
working, clever, conscientious, Oblig
ing telephone girls. Remember that
when you call up and don get an i'm
mediate response, that at the Sanbury
exchange alone the one operator has
about l59 more subscribers who might
be wanting her attention at the same
time and who got i'll ahead of you.
As to the t. T. & T. company we
can say that from the very installation
of the Company'S system We doubt If
any corporation has been more imposed
upon by the public Subscribers have
given the use of their phones TO non

Money In Potatoes.

bad thing for the general run of farm
Crs, remarks an American CultiVatOr
writer \ full crop of potatoes when
prices are high. as they have been this
wear, viii net higher profits per acre
than any other crop that we can grow,
and even thrce-quartCrS crop should
yield q profit sufficient to pay big
wages. Therefore we find plenty OF
growers not at all discouraged over the
past seasons results. On the contrary,
they are more convinced than ever that
there is money in potatoes, but more
especially in intensive, modern culture.
One such season in the past is enough
to convince many of this. y high yield
of excellent market potatoes can be ac-
complished only through intensive cul-
turc in good seasons. but when the
weather, seed and insects are all
against the crop one is then particular
ly thankful that nothing has been left
umdone to get the best from the soil

Potatoes Planted Early and Sprayed.

Many farmers plant potatoes late Ill
the season in order to avoid in part the
ravages of the potato bug, and there Is
no question about there being some
advantage in this respect. But if con
tinued experiments demonstrate that
early planting and thorough spraying
will increase the crop from fifty TO a
hundred bushels per acre over late
planting and little or no spraying II
would seem wise policy to plant ear
ly and protect the plants by spraying.

Seeding with Clover.

When clover is Sown early in the
spring on the crop of wheat or other
winter grain, it may cost nothing but
the price of the seed, which is not
much, whether ten or fifteen pounds is
used TO the acre, and the labor of sow
ing, yet we would prefer to increase its
cost by going over the wheat with Il
light or smoothing harrow before sow
ing the clover seed, says American Cul-
tivator. This will benefit wheat or rye
if done ut the right time, when the
ground is not wet enough to cause the
harrow to sink too deep and uproot the
plants. This makes a good seed bed for
the clover. and in d2E or two after
the first rain th" Hu!r plants will be
