Yerger, Sigourney, Iowa. My garden was the best I ever had. I had never planted your seeds before, but will again. I do not plant for the market but for home use and the pleasure to be got out of it. My garden is about 110 feet square. I plant all my stuff in rows by a chalk line so as to get them straight. I tend, for the most part, with a wheel hoe. I plant all the extra early stuff together, so after it is gone I can use the ground again. For main crop, I plant the sorts I know will do well in my sec- tion, and test the new sorts in a small way. Frequent cultivation is â most important thing. You can go over it three times quicker and better before the weeds get a start than you can once after they do. Frank I. Yerger, Sigourney, lojva. BUSHEL OF CUCUMBERS A WEEK ALL SUMMER FROM TWO PACKETS From Henry Lot, Floyd Knobs, Ind. From two packets of cucumber seed bought of you, the Goliath and Emerald, I mar- keted one bushel of cucumbers per week since the first of July. They are fine bearers. These varieties of cucumbers sold for 5 cents apiece. The summer was one of the driest that I can recollect, but my corn and fall crops look fine. All the early grain was ruined. Wheat, rye and oats were very short. The best thing in dry weather is good frequent cultivation. I find berries the most profitable crop for this part of the country. Of course other places it may not be. Henry Lot, Floyd Knobs, Ind. SOUTH DAKOTA WAS HIT HARD BY DROUTH. From Joseph Pfoff, Glenham, South Dakota. I plant most of my gar
