ries is quickly reflected IN the price: however
cranberries are never so very mucn OF an e4'
travagance because it requires such modest
norton to make up batch of cranberry sauce.
When cranberries are plentiful they sell whole
sale as low as 81 per barrel, but few years
ago, when there was a cranberry famine the
price went as high as $50 per barrel.
The business side Of the problem of supplying
a Thanksgiving dinner for the American people
is by no means the least interesting phase OF
this subject. The city Of Chicago alone re-
ceives during the week ten days before
Thanksgiving as many as half a million turkeys,
valued in the aggregate, at wholesale prices, at
much more than a millions dollars From Cape
Cod, Mass, the greatest cranberry growing dis
trict, there are shipped each autumn more than
one-third of million car loads of cranberries
and the major portion of this harvest finds its
way to Thanksgiving dinner tables. Many car
loads of celery from Michigan and other states
swell the total cost of our Thanksgiving dinner
to millions.

and often to make a seed-bed

much like unto and is a continuation of
the one we have just preached. To save
moisture after the crops are up, we must
stir the soil often to depth of two or
three inches and leave it level The tool
that enables one to do this work well and

row says:
Il saw one acre of corn with rows
1,2 feet apart and stalk every 4
inches about $1,000 stalks. The
corn was just silking and was as green
and as vigorous as though there had
been soaking rain the night before.
The stalks were 8 or 10 feet high.
Scarcely 3 feet from this plat was a
field of corn feet high and the leaves
tied up into strings for lack of mois-
ture. The coin was all the same age
and had the same ground under it.
The one had been broken to depth
of IA inches with disk plow and sub
Soiler and was rejoicing in 80 loads of
wellrotted stable manure. The other
had been broken 6 inches deep and

This is the text for our first

lessons to be learned from it, and
the sermon is much shorter than
the text. 1t is simply this:
1t you want your crops to
stand dry weather, you must fill
your soil with vegetable matter
and break deep and earlv.
