years ago It was purchased by young
man who had little start financially
and great executive ability. He went to
farming three year rotation. corn
and potatoes, wheat and clover. Each
spring he tiled what he plowed, plac-
ing tho drains forty-two feet apart.
His wheat and potato money went for
corn. which he fed to horses. One OF
his early purchases was a manure
spreader. Last year when. tho ground
was frozen he MANFRED his wheat and
clover, Mt other times his corn and
potato ground. by the beginning of
May. 1909. he had his whole farm ma
nured. His wheat went thirty-eight
bushels per acre. The year before he
bought the place was specially good
one for potatoes. but the crop only
Yielded some ninety bushels per acre.
Last year was not n very good potato
