A great point in favor Of the Rural
New Yorker as potato for late field
use Is the remarkable trait it seems to
possess of developing crop in late
summer and early fall following pc
RODS Of drought calculated to discour
age every growing thing. In num-
Der Of instances that have come under
the writer's attention practically the
entire growth of tubers Of this variety
was made after the middle Of August
The remarkable radish stories that
have appeared frequently in many
country papers are understood when
it is known that this giant radish Is
not Of home origin. but was introduced
from Japan some four years ago. 1t
is called the Sakurijama radish and
or forty pounds and the size of wa
ter bucket. 1t is most edible when
about half grown. The Japs often
boil it as we do turnips or cabbage.
A rather interesting discussion has
Otch tCu III SoLlC VI tuc Ph-
pers Of the country on the relative in
fluence Of the dam and sire upon the
butter fat production Of their female
offspring. One writer contends that a
COW from low test dam follows al
most invariably the low per cent ten
dency Of her dam. II there Is anything
in this claim it puts in rather ridicu-
lOus light the claims that have been
made in the past as to the merit Of
dairy sires in improving the butter Gu
pacity Of their offspring.
Some idea of the age Of the old
world In which we live may be gath

orally accepted by those having any
knowledge Of geology. that in the he.
ginning the surface Of the earth was
solid rock. What we now call soil Is
a combination Of this decOmposed
rock plus the decayed vegetable mat
ter produced during thousands and
thousands Of years. In this interest
ing process of soil formation glaciers,
frost, rain. sunshine ard even the
wind have had an important part.

 According to Captain Kolb this prod igious sale of fertilizer tags, while 1t may not indicate correspondingiy great advance in the crops this year, clearly indicates that the farmers of the state are showing a great advance in the cultivation of their soil, and are using more improved methods of farm Ing.
 The large sale of fertilizer tags also Indicates, in the opinion of Captain I{olb. better crops for this season than in past years, though this is largely con- tingent upon the weather conditions which prevail throughout the state At any rate, the commissioner is satisfied that the farmers of the state are de- termined to get the best results pos sibc out of their soil. and he believes that they could not pursue a better plan than by thorough fertilization of their Ia antlS
