tised Vegetables.

No gardener should be misled by
highly colored and much-advertised
novelties, or unfamiliar varieties of
vegetables. Some of them may be
good, but it is better to stick to the
standard, well-known and approved
varieties. Many varieties of certain
vegetable may be listed in the cata-
logue, but only a few may be suited
to your particular sou, climate or
needs. If in doubt about what to
plant, consult your state college of
agriculture, the United States Depart

agent or some experienced gardener
in the neignborhood Carefully figure
the varieties and amount of seed re-
quired; place orders before the best
stocks of the seed firms are exhausted.
Usually it is advisable to purchase
seed from nearby seed firms or
dealers.

turn for capital, after which all ex-
penses are deducted, such as for
thrashing, the managers wage, extra
labor. machinery repairs, depreciation,
and the cost of fertilizers and seeds.
Each of the two managed farms has
house for the manager, who also can
use the work horses to drive for per-
sonal use, has garden, and a cow or
two for supplying the family with milk
and butter. Fifty chickens are fur
nished, and the family is permitted to
raise as many as possible to supply the
needs of the farm table, but on Deem
Der 1 all the chickens above the Origi-
nal number must be sold, and the land
lord gets one-half the receipts. The
purpose of this limit on chickens is
to enable the manager to have his own
poultry supply without taking undue
advantage of his opportunity.
In order to calculate the amount of
ceive on this plan it is necessary to do
certain amount of bookkeeping. This
is left to the owner, who keeps set
of farm accounts, and on March / q
complete inventory is taken and q
yearly summary of the farm business
is completed. In cases of disease, poor
crops, or a partial failure which is sun-
avoidable, thus cutting down the in
come of the manager, the owner makes
some allowance and gives the mana
ger, in addition to the wages he has
received, what he thinks is due him
for the work he has done, and the re-
sponsibility he has assumed.
In the period before war imitation
the managers made from SAL to $40
per month the year round, in addition
to having their rent, garden, milk, but
ter and eggs. The manager of the
smaller farm, comprising So acres, re-
ceived $35 month straight wages for
four years up to 1918, and his bonus
averaged $16S a year. The manager
Of the other farm, comprising 100
acres, formerly received $50 per month
and was increased to $35.
Manager Well Paid.
When the fact is taken into consid-
GRAFTON that the managers employed
under this system are provided with
houses in which to live and are given
the privilege of raising their home sup
plies of vegetables, milk, poultry and
eggs, it will be seen that their neces-
sary expenses are inconsiderable, and
it must be conceded that they are well
paid for their services, in view of the
fact that they have no investment risk.
The length of time which the men re-
main on the farms shows that this
method of employment must have been
satisfactory both to employee and
landlord in these cases. 1t should be
pointed out, however, that the tenant
should have absolute confidence in his
landlord before he would be justified
in working under this system.

"The $1,000 American business and

have started out to gather the actual
facts In their respective communities
with regard to the manner in which
the. United States government Is

"The Rotarians have been shocked
by the disclosures made by. the Ameri-

OF Uncle Sans disabled ex-service
men. Each Rotary club is appointing
a special committee to investigate

A thrifty tomato plant left to itself
will spread over space from 4 to
feet in diameter and will produce a
peck or more of tomatoes. If staked
and pruned it will yield about the
same quantity of fruit, the tomatoes
will be larger, cleaner, better favored,
and superior in every respect, and
enough space can be conserved to ac-
commodate five other plants cared for
in similar manner, say garden spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The staked and
pruned plants are easily sprayed, and
will continue to produce fruit later in
the fall than plants which are allowed
to spread naturally. AS a rule, also,
the pruned tomatoes will mature ear
lier. On the scale on which tomatoes
are grown in the home garden, stalk
ing and pruning require little trouble,
and will fully repay the effort.
When the plants begin making a
vigorous growth, shoots will appear in
the little pockets where each leaf joins
the stem. Later the blossoms appear
on the opposite side of the stem. In
pruning the plant, remove all these
side shoots and those around the base
of the plant, being careful not to dis
turb the blossom clusters. The shoots,
sometimes called suckers, should be
pinched off shortly after they appear.
The main stem can be carried to the
full height of the stake. then allowed
to hang over. By this time six or sew
en- blossom clusters, on which the
fruit is developing, should be set on
the stem.

This extract from a statement made
by a former farm tenant employee,
ship between owner and tenant that a
great many persons on both sides of
the farm-landlord situation may well
envy. There is possibly no subject
connected with the business of farm
ing which leads to as many misunder-
standings, dissatisfactions and mutual
losses as the management of farm by
a nonowner. Somebody has said that
nothing short Of application of the
golden rule would ever bring about sat
iSfactory arrangements between the
owner and occupant of farm, and
yet, in this case, there was nothing
eleemosynary in the arrangement.
Tested by Fifteen Years Trial.
The man who made the statement
quoted above was for a number of
years the manager of one Of two ordi-
nary-sized hog farms owned by man
in Illinois, and the plan under which
he was engaged as farm manager has
been followed by the owner with al
most unfailing success for more than
fifteen years. Briefly, the plan was
nothing more or less than a straight
annual salary which included tenant
house and the usual garden and poul-
try perquisites, and, as a bonus, a
share of the net profits.
The proft-sharing plan has served to
stimulate the efforts of the employee
and has greatly lessened the supervi-
sion necessary on the part Of the
owner. By the use of the telephone
and occasional visits he is able to keep
in touch with the farm problems and

himself it was important that the man.

as little of his time as possible. Thus
far the managers have been selected
from the men employed on the home
farm, which serves as a training
school.
How Net Income Is Determined.
The managers are given regular
monthly wage and bonus consisting
of one-third of the net farm income.
In determining the net income 5 per
cent interest on the valuation of the
property is first taken out, as due re-

fore they give them into the Assess
or. / always like to be accommodating,
but / want to remind the public that
| have only five months in which to
assess both the realty and the person
atty of the county and, l therefore,
hope that each and every citizen will
make a vest pocket memorandum of
his assessment before l or one of
my deputies call. We cannot go
back the second time and it is just
about as easy to do a thing at one
time as at another.
i want to especially urge that tax
payers have their land numbers or
lots and description of lands ready.
As a help to this end your last tax
receipt would be a mighty good
guide. So please help me expedite
the assessment by being ready to
give in your property when / or one
of the deputies call.
