MARKET GARDENING.

Nearly all Of our inland towns and
cities are poorly supplied with aspara-
gus. This crop when properly man
aged may be produced probably on
any good, ordinary farm land. A little
science put into the production and
selling Of this crop will bring a return
Of $500 or more to the acre. Here is
an opportunity perhaps for one Of the
boys and girls.
Real early tomatoes r nearly al.
ways profitable, and they are so easy
to grow. The essentials Of success are
a good variety, like Earliana, seed
sown not later than March I. plants
grown in pots in hotbed or greenhouse
and good care in the field.
Early potatoes and sweet corn also
afford good opportunities in some com
munities. These crops. too. do not re
quire great skill. Heavy clover sod
which provides the very best condi
tons for field corn, Is equally good fol
early potatoes and early sweet corn.
In the future in all probability q
larger percentage Of the vegetables
consumed in our centers Of population
will be grown more and more remote
from the cities and very largely by
general farmers who follow a definite
system Of rotation. the vegetables fol-

r ORGANIZATION

DIR. T. N. Carver, adviser in rural
economics of our government, has
written on "The Organization Of a
Rural Community" He believes
that as the city has its chamber Of
commerce, the country should have
its community center. Moreover, in
the country each member of the or
p~anization should work on some COM
mittee.
DR.. Carver groups the needs of
the country into business needs and
"social needs" Under the business
group we have first better farm pro-
duction. This is to be looked after
by a committee whose business it is
to standardize or grade the produc-
ton Of the community. Second he
advises better marketing facilities,
and says four steps must rrecede the
selling of production, STANDARDIZED
ton, branding, and education of the
consumer.
The third business need is the Sc
surfing Of farm supplies. This Sec
ton of the pamphlet discusses all
kinds of cooperative buying and the
weak and strong points of the coun-

In the light Of these figures 1t can be
we'll understood why the early matur.
ing animal is increasing in popularity,
particularly with those feeders who
raise their own cattle. It must be re-
membered that all steers are not of a
type to finish up at an early age, be-
cause increase in weight is in the form
Of growth rather than the form Of
flesh. It Is all a question of type, some
types being ready for the block almost
any time after they have acquired
their calf fat. while others reach prime
conditions only at maturity or there

According to Professor II. r. Smith
liberal feeding of a steer from the time

will be reduced to a pound and three

year 1t will take liberal feeding to
make a pound and a half daily. This
means that the largest gains are made
early in life. and it follows that these
gains will be made cheaper because
the cost Of maintenance Is lower. In

DYNAMITE AND TREES.
Explosive 10 Recommended to Give
Viqor to the Orchard.

Explosive 10 Recommended to Give
Vigor to the Orchard.
Until recently a stick Of dynamite
was about the last thing a fruit grow
er would have thought Of taking along
when he went to plant young trees.
Now. however, according to an Eng.
lish agricultural journal. science is
urging that the explosive be used In
the planting as an effective means of
hurrying the trees growth and making
it yield more fruit.
When an explosive is employed in
stead Of a spade the soil is shaken up
and assured for a comparatively wide
area beyond the hole actually required
for the tree.
Experience has shown that trees
planted in ground prepared by explo-
sives make a much more vigorous and
rapid growth than when planted in the
ordinary way. Some trees have begun
bearing after four years. while others
similarly situated. but spade planted.
did not yield fruit until six years.
In the Ease Of existing orchards little
can be done in the ordinary way to
aerate or render the soil more p~ervious
to the roots and moisture. but a small
cartridge inserted at some depth below
the tree or a larger n exploded at a
depth of three feet or SO below the
surface and midway between trees
planted about fifteen feet apart has a
beneficial effect in loosening the soil
without injuring the trees.
The roots have less resistance to
overcome, the soil is aerated. the mois.
ture retaining properties improved, and
a new lease of life Is thus given to an
old orchard.
