Potatoes on a Plate average 1 lb each. With all our other troubles, the dry weather came. Tender bean leaves cooked crisp. Of the peas, Fillbasket came out in the lead, having stood the drouth the best of all. The others, while the best of chewing, neither came up well nor withstood the drouth. On the pea ground, we first harvested rad- ishes, then peas. After the peas were picked we planted one row of cucumbers with two rows of turnips on each side. Although my garden was but a rem- nant of what it should have been, it was like an oasis in a desert compared to the others. The prices were, cukes two for 5c, lettuce 5c a bunch, radishes seven for 5c, beets three for 10c, beans and peas in pods, 30c a gal- lon. Five rows Field's First Early beans, 60 feet long made $, one row yielding one bushel at one picking and beans large enough to eat in 45 days from planting. Peas, four rows 60 feet, $ Peas to eat in forty-two days from planting. Two rows of cukes sixty feet, $ Had slicers ready to use July 2d from seed drilled May 6th. Beets two rows 60 feet, $ Tomatoes II rows, 45 feet long, $ Ate ripe ones in 92 days from drilling of seed. Radishes, $ Had French Forcing rad- ishes to eat three weeks from planting. Salsify four rows, 60 feet, $ lettuce, $ Cabbage, 5 rows, 60 feet, $ Field's First Early beans stands at the head as the most paying crop, rate per acre, $1, Cukes, next, and beets a close second. If one had a market for Simpson lettuce, it would lead, as it can be planted between tomato rows and takes up no space. F. S.
