Of course other feeds are mixed with

fed alone.

greatest crop ever introduced into this
part of the country both as a money
crop and as a soil improver."

,TWO SIDES OF ONE PROBLEM
It is not enongh to raise crops
and live stock. They must be
marketed. When you come to
doing this how much easier it is
to sell if these crops or stock are
of big,h quality and how much
better prices are realized. It
really costs but little more to
raise good stuff than it does to
raise poor, and good stuff sells
itself.

Uncle Sam Imports Potatoes.
It would seem that a great country
like the United States might be able
to raise enough potatoes for its own 1
use, bat in 1910 our crop amounted to ,
338,81 1,000 bushels, and we imported
1,032.081 bushels. Our crop of 1811 I
was only 73.8 per cent of the crop of
1010. while the British isles have had ,;

Many fruit growers during the pail
season have experienced difficulty
obtaining packages for their fruit d
Ing the harvesting period. Strawberr
crates and boxes are always scare
during the picking season. App
barrels and grape baskets are east a
difficult to obtain ia the fall, and th
demand for packages at these time
causes the price to be higher.
Why not eliminate vexation tuad ei
pense by buying the packages "knoc
eel down" or " in the fiat" during th
winter when the prices are more ree
sonabie and the laborers may be prod
ite.bly employed in making them up?
One not only can save much by
procedure, but the packages will th
be at hand ready for the haves
Berry crates and boxes may be nut
up and packed away for the spriug.
Grape baskets may be bought, and th.
handles may be nailed on at this time
instead of in the fall. Apple boxes, lin

used for packing this fruit, may als
be made up during these months an .
set away for the fall.
In some states the barrel is etil
the most popular package for tippled,:
Within the last few years some of th
growers with large orchards have solve
the problem of winter work by install,
ing a cooper's outfit and making up the
own barrels during the winter. Th '
material may be bought ready to a
semble at a reasonable price, and th
tools necessary for making the barrel ,
may be procured at a slight cosdd
When proper storage facilities are a
hand many fruit growers can save
good deal in this way, besides utlilz
their employees during the winter. A
times oue might also contract to sued
ply a neighbor with barrels, wli1
would permit one to buy the meter
in larger quantities and make a littl f
money on the contract, besides prolong4
