FARM NOTES.

The strong odor of the coal tar dip
is one of its drawbacks.
No other work on the farm pays bet
ter than that spent in judicious drain
ing.
A little figuring will help us to see
that 1t will pay to raise our own feed.
All farmers should be informed on
what in a general way constitutes a
balanced ration.
Blackleg in the potato is compare
lively a new trouble with which Amer
lean growers will have to contend.
Dressings, say twice a season, of nj
trate of soda at the rate Of $50 pounds
per acre would make wonderful diff
ference in the garden.
The details of ordinary bee keeping
are easily learned by the interested
novice and every days experience
with the bees gives increase of knowl-
edge and skill
Here is e point to remember: 500
pounds of hen manure contain as
much nitrogen as 1000 pounds of sta
BILE manure. But never mix hen ma
nure with wood ashes.
The city hucksters have marketing
down to fine point. They buy their
vegetables wholesale and then sort
and pack in boxes, baskets and tie in
punches, adding greatly to their at
Effectiveness and naturally, the price.
Sweet potatoes may be transplanted
when the ground is warm enough to
terminate lima beans Transplant
them as early as the temperature of
the soil and the weather will permit.
so vines may be used for the remain
der of the patch.
There is much pleasure during long
winter nights in popping corn and
making honey boy" Plant popcorn
and be ready for this event next win
ter. Good popcorn is sometimes
profitable as money crop. Give the
children popcorn patch.

CANNING CORN AND TOMATOES
Supply In Middle West Hardly Stuff
eient to Furnish City Markets
With All They Demand.
CBy F. L. DUTTON.)

Gamers in the middle west are
finding it difficult to interest farmers
in growing contracts for sweet corn
and tomatoes. 1t takes higher prices
than last season to get acreage con-
tracts out, and the packers are In no
position to offer greatly increased pay
for fruit and vegetables to can; there
has been only very little profit in can
ming tomatoes and some other vege-
tables the last two seasons.
The average yield per acre In the
state of Indiana of sweet corn for can
ming purposes for the past two years
is less than two tons to the acre. This
season the packers of this state are
obliged to pay a general advance of
81 per ton or more for their sweet
corn contracts over last year. This
seemingly slight advance means an
actual increase In the cost Of raw
material of 2 cents per dozen and
acreage is being signed so slowly that
it is questionable in my mind whether
many packers in this section will be
able to finally secure sufficient acre
age to even protect the operating ex-
penses of their plants this year.
Outside of the extra profit the farm
er or grower is able to realize in
growing commercial grain and raising
live stock at this time-a most i'm
portant feature from his standpoint
is the great risk that he incurs in
producing our commodities if unsea-
sonable or abnormal weather condi-
tons prevail to any extent during the
growing period, or sudden climatic
changes occur, all of which have seri-
GUS effect on the growing crops of
sweet corn, peas and tomatoes, and
often the result of his efforts is wiped
out completely, whereas Providence
has wisely provided commercial
grains with a hardness sufficient to
successfully withstand these uncertain
and frequent conditions.
This one phase of the matter has a
strong influence over the farmer, and
he reasons that 1t is time enough for
him to go back to producing for the
canning factories when other condi-
tons are much worse than they are
today or will be this season. The
farmer is a well posted man and It
does not take him long to figure out
the prospective results from season
to season with the amount of infor-
nation which he has at hand, and so
far as am concerned 1 can see but
one thing ahead of us and that 10
higher prices on staple canned goods,
at least for the coming season.

some late blooming perennials which

which also blooms until severe frosts.
