s2H Acres net owner s4oos.7S, or si25.e4 per acre.

Mr.. f. r. Rachel, who lives at Faifurrias, Texas, planted 81
acres Of beans in February this year, and marketed his crop the first
or April. The S acres Of string beans netted Mr.. Rachel $I2soo[
per acre, or S62S.oo for 5 acres. On 2 acres OF these beans he had
watermelons planted between the rows, from which Mr.. Rachel gath
cred a carload Of melons that brought him SII2oo. In addition, hel
harvested 700 pounds dry beans that sold for $40 90 making a total
ceipts off Of s acres, and this is only one crop, as he was through
harvesting by middle Of June, and 2 to 3 crops are raised by Mr.
Rachel on this same land in one year.
For an experiment, Mr.. Rachel used on a "A acre Of Onions,
600 pounds Of Commercial Fertilizer, costing him SI75 per hundred
pounds, or bIo.so for the half acre. He secured a yield Of 1890
pounds Of Onions. He marketed 227 crates, which netted him
Sz3o.7s and sold locally, 700 pounds at 8 cents per pound, making
sal. 90. This makes a total ofSa5I7s for a "a acre Of Bermuda
Onions.
On is acres he raised and sold ! carloads Of watermelons at
an average Of SII2oo per car, and 200 bushels Of corn at 50 cents a
bushel, making a total crop Of $4,000 on 10 acres, This was raised
without irrigation or tertinng.
He also rented for the Spring crop season, 40 acres of land
at $1,000 per car, furnishing water, which he says was done at a cost
not to exceed $4,000 for the season. This item netted him $4,000.
All the above string beans, corn and waternelons were raised
without irrigation, and with the exception Of the "a acre Of Onions
all Of these crops were raised without fertiizing. On all the ground
above, there is growing now, fine crops of peanuts, cauliiower, egg
plants and other vegetables.

AN FASTER OFFERING.

At a recent convention of ministers. one of them told how he had paid off the mortgage on the church to which he had been assigned. The church was located in small New England town, the population of which was un- usually weH-to-do. and where there was 9 keen social rivalry. The Sun day before Easter the minister made this announcement:
 ''I am going to make a suggestion to the good sisters of the congregation Next Sunday. in the vestibule. will be found a blackboard. and I think jt would be a pretty idea if each sister would write thereon her name and the amount she win give as an Easter of fering-the amount 10 correspond to the cost of her Easter hat"
 And was the plan a success" some one asked.
