Wheat Following Potatoes.
There has been all sorts Of results with
wheat following potatoes. and such re-
suits have largely followed closely in ac-
cordancc with the fertilizers used. Nat
urally, as wheat does best on soil which
has been we'll worked and prepared, fol-
lowing the potato crop with wheat offers
every chance for a good crop of the &C.

ciltties are applied and In considerable
quantity. for II must be membered that

son In which the wheat gets Its start. In
following potatoes with wheat try this
plan: Rake OF the potato tops and with
the harrow level the soil and loosen 1t

roll the ground and drill IN the seed with
40 pounds to the acre Of some commercial
fertilizer rich In phosphoric acid. The
potato crops may he spread over the seed

the wheat. Rather a radical way OF do

Apple Boxes in Evidence.
While It Is agreed that the presen, high
price of barrels has something to do with
the cnse, there Is little doubt but that the
popular demand Tor small packages has
much to do with the present use OF crates
and boxes. In all sections Of the country
where harvest apples are being marketed
the crate IL in evidence, and the prices
obtained for fruit put up in this way inss-
tcMtcs the popular demand. II the frus,
grower Is wise he will meet this dernand
