WET GRAIN FIELDS
IN EARLY SPRING
First Work Should Be to Provide
Egress for Any Water That
Has Accumulated.

The first work in the spring, when
the snow begins to melt, or after
heavy rains, is to let off any water
that accumulates in the low places
in the wheat No matter how care
fully the dead burrows and outlets
may have been made in the fall. there
is more or less TO be done III the
spring to provide free ogress for the
water
A few hours work with the hoe and
shovel after an all-day rain, will often
drain off many gallons of water which
would otherwise soak into the ground
and keep it wet and cold for several
weeks.
In letting off water in the low spots
in the grain fields, commence at the
lower end and make a shallow furrow
with the hoe. 1t is not necessary to
make Il wide or deep ditch, as this
would destroy too much wheat. 1t
should be dug just deep enough to
drain off the wat, :.
See that the outlets to the under
drains are open, so that the water can
pass off quickly. This is a very i'm.
portant job and is best done by the
farmer himself and not by an ineXperi-
enced person. BY this method we feel
sure that we save several bushels Of
grain and much grass and clover.

SCARCITY OF FRESH
EGGS ON THE FARM
Trouble May Be Remedied by
Early Hatches Of PuIIets-
Give Them Good Care.

During the months of October, No
vember and December of each year
there is always a more or less scarcity
of fresh eggs, and the prices, IN CON
sequence, go up.
This scarcity is due to two things
in general-the melting period for old
hens and the lack Of early hatChed
pullets.
1t is at this time of the year that
the condition powder and the poultry
food man begins to cry his wares, and
it is surprising to see the business
that he does do.
While we believe in the tonic effects
of a good condition powder or sci
entilcally prepared poultry food we
do not credit these articles with all
that is claimed for them.
They should be used with judgment
"a little goes "A great way. To aCcus.
tom the fowls to them is but to lose
their tonic effect.
They are not so much calculated to
make eggs as they are to tone up the
tissues and to keen the appetite. In
that condition the fowl eats more
freely and better assimilates the egg
food that it gets from pure, good grain.
This scarcity Of fresh eggs on the
farm can only be remedied by early
matches of pullets. Pullets Matched in
March and April, and well grown, will
begin laying in the fall, and continue
in the good work right through the
winter. The melting hens VIII again
start up in January and by February
the combined work Of the pulets and
the hens viii give good supply OF
eggs, and it viii be noticed that in
February the market prices for eggs
are on the decline.
The great trick is to get the eggs
during the last three months OF the
year. and this can be done ty early
pullets given good housing, good feed
and good care.

(By l.. r. JOHNSON)


For several years we had noticed
that late in the season our local mar
kets ran bare Of large and fine toma
toes, being supplied only with those
that were borne on spring-set plants
and which were running small.
We thought we saw a chance to
make some money by taking advantage
of this deficiency. We reasoned that
If we could set out plants late enough
to ripen their best fruit at this time
that we would find good demand at
fair prices, regardless of the small
stuff with which the market was glut-
ted
For this purpose we chose the Pom
derosa, known as the largest of all
tomatoes, but a sort that is not re-
garded with favor by regular truckers.
Several years trial, however, has
convinced US that it is the best variety
for our late crop and superior to the
standard market kinds.
An old strawberry bed of quarter
acre was deeply plowed in June, after
the berries were gone. The soil was
very rich with mulches of stable ma
nure and the plant tops made good
green crop to turn under.
The tomato seeds were sown in the
open ground about June /, and trans
planted to the rows during the first
week in July.
1t happened to be very dry just at
setting time and the plants had to be
watered as set. Their start was very
slow and they lost in this way a good
ten days.
There were several heavy rains
while the plants were about foot
high and after that drought set in
and not another good rain fell till
after frost in November
Virtually, then, this crop grew ma
tured and was gathered without bar
rel of water supplied by either man or
nature.
One row along the side was staked
to test this method and four rows were
made up of the Some, Matchless and
Truckers Favorite. | will say that
the four rows were failures compared
to others and would have brought us
little or no profit.
They occupied about one-third Of the
patch and this fact should be consid-
cred in estimating the gross returns
from the quarter acre.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1915-04-15

The staked row did no better and,
most of us thought not as we'll as the
unstaked vines that sprawled over the
16 square feet that each was given, for
the rows and plants were four feet
apart each way.
Cultivation was given the rows as
long as the tops permitted. which was
not long Thereafter nothing was done
except to once take the hoe and chop
out a few big weeds that had come up
early and escaped the cultivator.
or course, under the great drought
the ground soon became dry and hard
as cultivation ceased, and the daily
tramping of the rickers made it still
worse. During October when the vines
were yielding the most it looked i'm
possible that such a mass of green
tops and fruit should be able to eX
tract enough moisture from the soil
for their daily needs which must have
amounted to a great deal.
Now for the results: The first bushel
was sold on the eighth of September
just about two months after the plants
were set. BY the fifteenth we were
picking two bushels per day; by the
twentieth, three bushels, and this was
about the average for the rest of the
season.
Parties who had stopped buying,
firing of the little stuff they had been
getting, renewed their orders.
We then doubled the price, and sold
every tomato we could pick.
We sold direct to the consumer
In all, the quarter acre produced
$125 in round figures, without counting
some small lots we sold after frost.
Some of the green ones we kept till
in December. When killing frost
came there were bushels and bushels
of green tomatoes of all sizes still on
the vines and growing right along
after three months without rain,
After the first light frost we picked
90 bushels Of marketable size and
stored them away.
A great many of these tomatoes
weighed a pound. Some believe the
Pondcrosa is rough. ! deny it. 1t was
easy to find perfect specimens with
out crease in their big tops.
AS for productiveness, | have never
seen a variety that would beat them. |
have counted dozen pound tomatoes
at one time on single vine, beside
many smaller ones.

SCULPTOR AND PHILANTHROPIST

Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney
whose masterpiece of sculpture, THE
Fountain of Ell Dorado" is on exhi-
bition at the Panama-Pacific exposi-
ton, is pronounced by critics to be
the most gifted woman sculptor in
America. She has been devoted to
art throughout her life, and in the
hot summer months has toiled in her
New York studio in MacDougal alley,
fraternizing with the sculptors' col
ony and many a time helping stu
dents in distress. Her great wealth
never interfered with her conscien-
tious work, but it permitted her to
exercise her philanthropic tendencies,
which are almost as notable as her
artistic. She has given much time
and money to charity, and with the
breaking out of the war she turned
at once to the aid of the suffering.
She established hospital in Paris, of
which she is in active charge. All
her days now are devoted to the re-
lief Of the wounded soldiers that are
