the United States Department of Agri-

"squab chickens" in hotels, restau-

for if kept four weeks lon"er, includ-
ing two weeks Of crate fieshing, such
fowls would weigh about three pounds.
Moreover, under proper feeding, a

the cultivator does not give the best
results. hence our effort to get some
of the fertilizer below the seed piece.
My objection to applying fertilizer with
the planter is the difficulty In getting
the fertilizer deep enough without
planting the seed piece too deep. and
then. too, we never succeeded in
spreading and applying the fertilizer
in as wide ribbon as does the dis
tributor. Eighteen hundred pounds Of

a QUESTION OF AREAS.

In 1916 both Michigan and New York
grew the same area of potatoes-ap-
proximately $4,000 acres. On this
area the state of Michigan produced in
round numbers, 100000 bushels of
potatoes. New York. for her share,
however. produced 22.400.000 bushels
an increase of nearly so per cent.
With such a difference as this 1t is
apparent that in the work Of food pro-
duction. the question of soil manage
ment and Of crop management is of ut
most importance-for whenever It be-
comes profitable to do so, there is no
doubt that Michigan can Increase her
potato yield up to or beyond that now
