Board and the recommendation of the
Police Committee Of the Council.

the situation.' said Commissioned Welsh.

what it should be in a city this size.
with an adequate force we could ,,a, IL have

Of graspng the situation.

the addition of any other manures.
Every farmer knows that certain
crops will almost ruin his lands; for
instance, cutting a heavy crop of
crab-grass on uplands. Now if there
is no manure applied to the land the
next crop will be smaller.
CROP ROTATION
If the hay is fed to stock and the
manure returned to the land, there
is but little lost. Hay of this kind
seems to hurt our uplands worst in
this section, but it is different with
the cowpea or other leguminous
plants. A rotation of cowpeas and
oats, although both are cut off the
land for hay, seems to affect it but
little. A leguminous crop like cow
peas seems to like a change. So that
we see that we must rotate or plant
different crops if we expect to get
the most benefits from our farms.
We do not want to leave the impress
sion that we must plant a little of
everything in order to make sue
cess; such farming would be almost
as bad as to plant just one single
crop, but it is necessary to rotate
sufficiently to keep up the fertility of
the soil and at the same time make
heavy crops.

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor Of The Progressive Farmer:
I am a reader of The Progressive
Farmer and a potato raiser, and /
eat the big "Ambaiters" along the
road. I raised five kinds last year
and prefer the Peabody potatoes to
any kind for my hogs, simply because
they produce the most to the acre.
Some people tell me that hogs won't
eat them. That person I find feed
ing the most costly feed to his hogs.
The Peabody is the earliest potato
we have and could be shipped to large
markets. I have sold them for $1.OO
per bushel by the first of July and l
have heard of their bringing seven
cents per pound on foreign markets.
The real value of that potato is not
known to Tar Heels. If it we're
known, bacon would not be so high
during short corn crops like 1901.
I have used various kinds of ferti-
lizers and have made large quantities
to the acre. I have heard old folks
give their experience with a perfect
fertilizer, but nothing has been clear
to my mind yet. l would like to
know, through your columns, what
is a perfect fertilizer for sweet pota-
toes?
Yours. W. II. B.
