President-A. ]. Riess-
Vice President-G. P. Herzog.
Secretary-William Beal.

Talk of Advertising.
Special advertising for the block and
line of improvements to be under
taken Jointly were discussed. The
swinging sign evil was gone into quite
thoroughly and there is reason to be-
lieve there will be unanimity of action
in regard to its abolition.
One idea of a special advertising de-
vice was for an arch spanning Second
avenue at West Seventeenth street 1t
was agreed that one of the first things
to be done was to provide for keeping
the store fronts fresh and attractive
and the avenue and sidewalks clean.
Committees We're appointed on sign
and on painting store fronts.
Next Thursday noon the business
men of the block will have luncheon

Plenty Downstairs.

There is a proprietor of shop in the
city, man of most excitable tempera-
ment, who is forever scolding his clerks
for their Indifference in the matter OF
possible sales.
One day, hearing a clerk say to a
customer, mo, we have not had any for
a long time," the proprietor, unable to
countenance such an admission, began to
work himself into the usual rage. Fix
ing CLASSY eye on his clerk, he said to
the customer:
"We have plenty in reserve, ma'am;
plenty downstairs"
Whereupon the customer looked dazed /;
and then to the amazement of the pro-
prietor burst into hysterical laughter and
quit the shop.
"What did she say to your" demand
ed the proprietor of the clerk.

THE BUSINESS
FARMERS CORNER
EQUIPpING A TRUCK FARM
Returns Warrant the Investment
JOHN w. LLOYD,
University of Illinois.

University OF Illinois.
The amount and kind of equipment
needed for truck farm will depend
upon the size of the farm, the locality
and the kinds of crops to be grown
The foundation equipment in soil work
ing tools is essentially the same for a
truck farm as for any other kind OF
farm. There must be plows, harrows,
and cultivators suited to the type of soil
to be farmed and harness and wagons
for moving the machinery and the crops.
Special tools for planting, cultivating
and harvesting particular crops will also
be needed. If early crops requiring trans
planting are to be grown, the equipment
must include sash, canvas and lumber
for hotbeds and cold frames.
If twenty acres of truck are to be
grown, consisting of five acres early to-.
matoes, five acres early melons or GU
cumbers and ten acres cabbage and eel
cry, all of which require transplanting,
it will be possible, with careful manage
ment, to produce the plants for these
acreages in two hotbeds and four cold
frames, each by 100 feet.
Tools Required.
The only special tools required for
handling the crops mentioned above
would be single shovel or one-horse
turning pillow for furrowing out prepare
tory to planting the tomatoes and mel
ons, spike tooth cultiyator for the to-
matoes and melons, a spray pump and
outfit with three-row attachment for
spraying the melons and tomatoes,
spades and hoes for transplanting and
hand tillage, baskets and bushel crates
for harvesting the crops.
Again, a truck farm might grow an
entirely different set of crops, such as
onions, pickle cucumbers and late cab
bages. Special harrows, plankers and
rollers would be needed for fitting the
onion ground, seed drills and wheel hoes
for planting and cultivating the onion
for planting and eultivating the onions,
a transplanting machine for setting the
cabbage and shallow crates and curing
shed for handling the onions.
Now as to cost, which viii in large
depend on the loeation-the
farther north the more expensive. For
man in south Jersey could
start five-acre patch with $500. In IL
linois it would cost about ST5 an acre for
everything; in the vicinity of Norfolk,
Va, about 800; near Philadelphia on
twenty or thirty-acre plots fair aver
age would be from 5000 to $500 per acre,
to the number of hotbeds used.
A well-known trucker in Green Bay,
Wis, states that to equip and start a
ten-acre farm would require about So
500.
