A good many producers Of vegetables
and fruits keep no account OF their
operations. A good many more keep
account. but do not keep account OF
each individual crop. But 1t is impos-
sible for man to know what crops
are paying him. and what crops are
running him into debt unless he does
keep an account with each one. On
some farms the mere elimination of the
money-losing crops would make a
great difference in the annual reve-
nues. The man that will do this extra
bookkeeping will generally find that he
has some useless cropper that is taking
his time and effort. but not making
him a cent of money. taking one year

from the land and return only enough
money to pay for the actual labor. This
is no indication that the particular

The cut shows respectively the small

The Early parish, and is considered an
excellent forage plant for light soils in
hot seasons. The tops are cut and cured
for hay before frost, and are claimed
to be as nutritious as clover. The pea
nut is legume like clover, and grows
best when the roots are studded with
tubercles, but the demand for plant food
to develop the numerous large oily seeds
is SO great that it cannot well be used
as a soil improver. The Spanish variety
