In many OF the sandy loan regions

tatoes are paying very gooo returns

q particularly good instance OF the
possibilities OF growing thin crop.
The writer has had experience in
growing potatoes on a commercial
scale for FIVE years and has found this
crop one Of the most profitable to
grow where soil conditions are right
and the shipping and marketing tacil-
tiles favorable. OF course Il should
be understood that potatoes should
not be at any great distance from a
shipping point owing TO the bulkiness
of the crop. This is a line OF farm
ing which can be combined successful
ly with dairyirg in fact for perma-
nent results it seems desirable that 1t
should be.
The growing OF clover for seed is
destined to become an industry of
great Importance In such regions as
possess heavy soil The red clay belt
along Lake Superior has proven TO be
capable of growing excellent clover
seed Returns for this crop are high

understood This season a farmer CO.
operating in the growing of clover for
seed with the station raised fiGty-nine

quarter acres. Yields fully as good as
those mentioned have been obtained
in other seasons. This clover seed In
