GREW SPUDS IN BARREL.
Wonderful Example of Intensive Pota.
to Cultivation Reported by Farmer.


A few years ago an ingenious gar
dener near one Of our eastern cities
was inspired to test the possibility
of growing potatoes in barrel. The
barrel had formerly contained lime.
but not much of this remained.
The experimenter placed in the bot
tom of the barrel. from which the
head had been taken out. five or six
inches Of rich soil and embedded in
this single whole potato. AS the
vines grew fresh earth was added
from time to time and the plants were
watered whenever the soil appeared
dry.
No insects or blight troubled them
and early in the fall. when the vines
seemed to be dry. the contents of the
barrel were turned out and 125 large,
fine tubers were found, all attached
to the dead stems, besides a half peck
of small potatoes not Of marketabl
quality.
The experiment was claimed to be
a great success, and it was said that
5000 barrels were Immediately order
crop.
For this very little seed compare
lively would he required. very little
labor in preparing the bed. no weed
ing or cultvating except the occa-
sional addition of a few inches of
fresh soil. no paris greening for po-
tato bugs or bordeaux mixture for
blight and the harvesting done by
merely picking up the tubers from the
overturned barrel.-Farm Progress.

the success which may be attained by
their sex in the lighter class of farm
ing and country home management.
The tendency which is now so ap-
parent toward rural life is likely to
reverse the flow of population. This
has sociological as well as a COM
mercial aspect, and the results will be
largely credited to woman. Her work
is of ever increasing Importance in
farm life. 1t is her province so to
shape social conditions in the country
that young people will be attracted to
agricultural pursuits rather than re-
PEELED therefrom.
Women are showing that there are
large profits to be made from honey,
poultry, onions, cucumbers. sweet corn,
flowers and many other commodities
which they are capable of handling in
manner demanded by the best trade
The certainty that prices will remain
high for such products comes from the
rapid growth of towns and cities. The
market for flowers and general pro-
duce seems to be unlimited. and salts
factory returns are assured where
proper attention is given to cultivation.
Choice asters are selling in the
wholesale market at 81 per 100, and as
this has become the favorite product
Of many of Chicago's women foricul-
turists it is worth while to consider
what one can earn on an acre of land.
An aster is distinctly an out of door
plant. 1t is hardy and the most free
from insects OF any garden product.
1t Is exceedingly prolific. With land
fairly well fortified an acre will pro-
duce at moderate estimate $1,000
worth of asters. A yield of $1,4OO
would not be at all phenomenal. Gar
den produce may seem more practical
