Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. c. BOWSFlELD

Large profits from the production of
vegetables, as compared with grain
crops. have attracted the attention of
studious farmers.
1t is a striking fact that beans, pota-
toes, onions, peas, cabbage, tomatoes.
celery, lettuce, etc, pay 5000 to $500
an acre as against $50 to $50 an acre
which is cleared on the most success
fUl of grain crops. The demand for
the common, easily grown vegetables
is constant, and there is no doubt but
that prices are to remain on profita-
bic basis.
All farmers cannot turn their places
into truck gardens, but in the move
ment toward mixed agriculture every
land owner who has reasonably good
market facilities should plan for few
acres of vegetables. This will call for
extra help, but the profits will be sutfi-
cient to justify the change in pro-
gram. 1t is necessary to $ TT right
and push the whole project in bust
nesslike way. A little study will show
which are the money making crops and
how marketing can be done to advan-
tage. Private customers should be
supplied where it is practicable to do
so. Ever and always keep in mind the
money value of any crop that time and
labor are bestowed on. See that it is
salable and then get the cash out of it.
A great difficulty with most farm
gardens is that the various crops are
placed in small beds, making it abso-
lutely necessary to do all the work
with a hoe. Farm boys and girls OBJ
ject to this, and the older people are
not anxious about it. The fact is, most
farm gardens are neglected. In the
first place, the farmer figures that 1t
doesn't pay to give time to a small
proposition of this kind. The women
find the work too heavy unless there
are plenty of them. Consequently a
restricted area is devoted to garden
crops, and the farm table much of the

Dies After Brief Illness.

Racine, March S.-Carl G. Miller,
one of the best known of the younger
athletes of the city, died at st. Luke's
hospital after an illness of several
DAYS. He was twenty-five years of age
and is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
. ]. Miller, 1904 Lincoln street. Miller
was captain of the Little Jose foot
bali teasl and of the Maroons. a we'll
known basketball team He was a
member of the Racine lodge No. 80,

time lacks crisp. toOthSome vegetables
which ought to be easily produced
Market possibilities are wholly neg
lected in many cases.
Now, if in selecting garden plot an
elongated area is chosen and every
thing planted in rows much of the
heavy work is unnecessary. The plot
can be plowed nine or ten inches deep
to begin with. thus doing away with
the back breaking work made neces-
sary in spading the garden. Then the
harrow can be used to do the work OF
pulverizing and smoothing. By plant
ing the various crops in rows horse
cultivator further lightens the labor.
OF course the hand hoe has to be used
occasionally, and some of the weeds
may have to be removed by hand. but
the proposition is not formidable one.
Do not forget that it is practically
impossible to get the soil too rich for
the ordinary garden crop. Well rOtted
stable manure is always available on
every farm. Put on large amount of
this during the fall or very early in
the spring. Fall blowing is best. Gov
er the manure deeply.
In early spring, just as soon as the
ground can be worked, early vegeta-
bles. like onions. radishes, lettuce and
peas, can be planted. Put in liberal
quantity. Sow lettuce and radishes
three or four paintings. Allow about
ten days or two weeks to intervene
between each planting. The same
method can be employed with peas.
Beets do not need to be treated in this
way. Then when all danger of frost
is past SOW the tender roots, such as
beans, cucumbers. and little later do
not fail to set in lot of tomato plants.
Select at least two or three dozen Of
Z very early variety. Then few weeks
later plant some OF the larger sorts.
which will bear profusely right up TO
frost. Tomatoes are exceedingly health
full, are easily grown and give more
return for the time and effort expend-
ed than many other garden crops. Or
dinarily 1t is best to stake the tomato
vines and keep them off the ground.
Then cucumbers should not be neglect
ed under any circumstances. Plant as
many hills as you think will be need
ed. AS soon as the cucumber plants
appear above ground, scatter wood
ashes on them in the early morning
when the dew is on. This will prevent
damage from the little beetles that are
so destructive to the leaves. You will
have to watch your cucumber vines
for cutwormS.

Plans Increase of County Exhibits.

Madison, March S.-A bill intro
duced in the assembly by Mr.. Hart
of winnebago county provides that all
county fairs receiving state aid shall
make an exhibit at the state fair each
year of all farm and garden products
awarded first, second and third prizes
at the local fair. Mr.. Hart said that
the plan would automatically create
competition among the counties and
do away with the necessity of county
action whenever local pride prompts
the agriculturists to make a show at
the big fair. The bill authorizes the
state fair board to offer prizes to coun-
ties making the best exhibits.
