w. II. Walker, who lives on DR.. r.
G. G. Fahnestock's place just out of
town, has the finest crops we have
seen. Mr.. Walker Is an Intensive"
as well as an extensive planter. His
garden is particularly attractive. In
one section he has four crops grow
ing at once-Irish potatoes just ma
turing; corn as high as ones head
and ready to tassel; cantaloupes now
ripening and ready to market, and
last COW peas now up to a height of
or inches. This is the first time
we have heard of this method of
growing crops, the one to follow
close on the maturing of the other.
Mr.. Walker has thr.e things in his
favor-he Is In the right section of
country to grow good crops, he has
splendid land on which to grow them,
and he knows how to grow them.
Added to that he puts "elbow grease"
and the result is highly satisfactory.
