There are many fine pens of hogs
being butchered at present. 7. W. Pal
mer, Rehoboth, pen of four weighed
1861 lbs; S. D. Walls, Sr, pen of
four, 1880, while those of 1400 or 1900
are quite common. The fact that most
of the farmers are wise enough to
have their hogs immunized from chol-
era prevents the owners from the
heavy losses formerly sustained when
they would lose their entire lot of
hogs in the fall.

$500 FROM HALF-ACRE

Louis Ryder, a farmer with only
one arm, who resides at the eastern
side of South Milford, conducts
farm where irrigation is practiced
successfully to produce crops OF veg
etables, which he ships to city mar
kets-but keeps the Milford market
supplied with all the lettuce, and other
vegetables, which it will consume at
all seasons. This year. on measured
half-acre of irrigated land he planted
lettuce for the fall and winter trade,
which he has marketed with his usual
success. After paying the freight and
express, he received checks amount
ing to trifle over $500 from this one
half acre of lettuce. This was not all
clear profit, however, as water had to
be pumped by both wind and gasoline
and the work of attending the 1rriga-
ton has to be considered. However-a
return of gross receipts of $1,400 per
acre, will leave very handsome prof
it, after paying for the labor and main
tenance of the irrigating system. 1t
pays to use practical methods to pro-
duce vegetable crops, when the pro-
duction is followed by practical busi-
ness marketing of the crop when pro-
duced. Mr.. Ryder does not hesitate to
make trips to the city and whenever
necessary, makes personal investiga-
ton of the people buying or selling
his crops. He gets results in two ways
from these trips-the pleasure of get
ting into larger and bigger scenes oc-
casionally and the acquiring of new
ideas of the crop to grow and how to
market it. The first thing with Mr..
Ryder, is, to maintain high standard
of all vegetables shipped. The seconds
are fed to the poultry and pigs-not
sold at all.

FOREIGN COTTON SALES
Prospects for Big Cotton Sales are
Not Encouraging

prospects for increasing the foreign
sale of American cotton were oe-
scribcd as unpromising in additonal
consular reports transmitted TO the
senate Tuesday by President Wilson
in response to resolution and other
conditions were declared unfavorable
to purchase from the United States
during the present year
Italy, the consular reports said, is
expected to require between 49'ooo
and $4,000 bales Of American cotton
this year, as compared with nor
nal demand Of 10000 to G5,UoO bales.
Present Italian stocks, it was reported.
are ample 'for two months.
Prospective purchases Of American
cotton by Sweden were placed at TO-
900 bales this year. as compared with
normal annual purchases Of from 12O,-
900 to 10000 bales. Sixty per cent.
Of the Swedish spindles were reported
idle.
French purchases of American cot
ton this year the reports SAID, are
expected to show reduction OF ~
per cent. Last year France purchased
G2l 900 bales Of the American pro-
duct.
The outlook for purchases Of Amer
lean cotton by Holland was said to
be mot bright" and only about one
fifth of the spndles of CZecho- Slo-
vaka were reported in operation.
