Well, then, long ago Japanese pe-

success is anticipated in the growing
of asparagus, strawberries and rasp-
berries and 'potatoes. The rapid
growth of vegetation during the four
weeks of warm weather is almost un-
believable, he said. Potatoes planted
on July 28 were sufficiently .grown to
use on Oct, 1. He witnessed cab-
