The yields of 444 and 90 tons per
acre indicate that corn is a heavy for
age producer under dry farm condi
tions.
The average yield of nearly 124
bushels of potatoes to the acre shows
possibilities for this intensive culture
crop. The potatoes produced are
very dry and mealy and will always
find good market demand. Sugar
beets have not yielded high enough to
warrant the announcement of their
growth in commercial way. For
home feeding small area may be
found profitable, but because of the
heavy expense incident to the raising
of this crop, it is probable that it
will never be grown extensively in
the northwest except where irrigation
is possible.

Asparagus Beds,

Asparagus beds now need thorough
tillage and heavy applications of
manure. Some fertilizer would be an
advantage. especially if green grass is
to be cut. The practice of large grow
ers is to apply most of the commercial
fertilizer after the close of the cutting
season.
