tenders. and to bring buyers and sell.
ers together when possible for the as
lsistance that it would be in the ulti-
mate clearing up of the local situa-
ton. This would enable buyers and
sellers to get together. privately, and
would be better than the inertia now
prevailing.

CHICAGO. October 16.-Wheat bulged
in prices here today. owing to higher
quotations at Liverpool and because of
yesterdays large export sales on this

ever, and the gains were soon wiped
out. Estimates that the exportable
surplus in the United States was three
times as large as a year ago counted
against the bulls After opening y to

rise. the market receded to last nights
level.

now TO GROW Blo cRoPs.


A prominent farmer requests NJ to
publish the article below, describing
how to grow big potato $, and VI do
80 with pleasure, as our farmers seem
now to be getting move on them.
For thousands Of years, Potatoes
have been one Of the dependent crops
and in several countries when their
is failure in the crop almost a
famine followa The necessity Of
thb crop is greater than one gives
credit.
Much attention is given to the Sc
lecting Of seed in the past few years
Ii - not generally Known that plaut-
ing p,tatoes, year after year iE a.
climate which allows a long growing
season will deteriorate The quality
and lessen The yield. In the selec-
ton Of SEED Potatoes, you should be
sure they are Northern grcwn. Ynn
can mostly always tell ss Po'mo.s
grown III climate where there is =
short growing season, will have few
eyes. A short sea.on forces them TO
maturity in a shorter period, giving
the Potatoes more vigor which will
give you q more abundant yield if
you plant that class Of seed. They
will also mature leu days TO two
weeks earlier than the home grow n
seed.
| know OF some sections 10 Maine
where there yields average frou $50
to 200 barrels pei acre. THIS is due
20 the selection OF seed from a heavy
yielding crop. They always plant
the seed that has few eyes. So often
persons will buy Potatoes with the
greater number Of eyes, believing
they will get greater number Of
pieces from a bushel of Potatoes to
plant. This is poor practice and wi |
be Improbable for Y ur yield.
II is the nature for Potatoes to
grow in the soil. Ii Il, Therefore;
necessary for you to give your Pota-
toes plenty OF soil il you desire a big
yield. Arrange your planning 50

when you see them peeping up, put

your rows three fses apart; AM, ii
using a planter, drop the Potatoes
twelve inches apart. II you were
planting to grow seed, YOU Should
only plant eight inches apart. Never
try to grow seed If you are in long
growing season climate. You can
arrange your planting so that the
Potatoes will be imatured by the
time the first frost comes. This crop
will give you fair yield as seed, as
they will be more vigorous by being
forced in a short season.
Always use the Big Crop Seed
