(Written Specially for The Bulletin) T've been chuckling for a week over a letter from a friend who has a tidy garden of his own, which he has run successfully. for thirteen years. But this year he is “up against it His speciality is in flowers—mostly bul- bous—and he reports practical failure with them. The very crab-apples have found the season too tough for them. “I_don’t know what I know about farming,” he confesses. #The only thing I've learned is to take resuits as they come without fuss or fret- ting.” f ot to that height as learned what If he has really of self-control, he is, on the whole, the most valuable lesson. practical farming can teach, I fancy. 1 know he's honest in saying it, and T hope he is equally correct How I wish some of my neighbors could .learn that same lesson! How I wish 1 could pass perfect in an ex- amination along that line! But I'm a “poor, weak critter” | myself, and I sometimes catch myself fretting and fussing and worrying over things I can't help. All 1 can boast of, per- sonally, is that when I do catch my- self at that sort of silliness, I repent and reform. There are those who can't gee anything in it to revent of. And I do think I'm onme grag) whead of that class. By the way, when | mentioned that t friend’s chief fhterest was in flower-raising, perhaps some of you sneered at the idea of ealling such an occupation agriculture. Well, ‘sneer if you want to, but yowd show more wisdom if you didn't. Two years ago I netted $7 from two rows of gladioli, occupying a bit of garden six feet wide by one hundred feet long. That's at the rate of about $72 an-acre, cle: profit, after all expenses were paid Which would be at the rate of about 37,200 clear profit from @ hundred acres. Any farmer in eastern Con- necticut who is making a bigger profit than that, per hundred acres, from what he calls farming, has my free permission to sneer at flower-growing as a part of agriculture. If he isn't making that much, will he please wips the sneer oft his face and look pleas- ant? But the one phrase in'my friend's letter which keeps chuckling that “I don’t know I know about farming” You bet he doesn’t. Nor does anybody else. If & man were as wise as Solomon and as strong as Samson and as rich as Croesus and lived as long as Methusaleh, T suspect he might, along toward his nine hun- dredth year, begin to get some suspi- elon about a few primary school les sons in farming. But even such a man, 1 think, would be mighty in bragging about his knowledge. find the ocean of his ignorance so much vaster than the beach-line of his knowledge that he would be the first to kneel before that Immeasur- sble Unknown and humbly pray to the Icfinite Wisdom: “Lord, be merciful to me, a fool.” is shy Hed I'm not a Solomon, mentally, nor a 8amson, physically, But all my life #I've striven to find the causes of things. I've always wanted jo know the “why” of everything that hap- pened’to me or my work. The result is that T've cracked my thick skull so maLy “tiMies against 80 many unscal- alle €liffs of mystery that I'm begin- ning to wonder what's the use of brains, anyw: T've reached that pAss where I'm ready to go to school t0 @ woodchuck or a whip-poor-will— each ons of which indubitably knows more about one thing than I do. “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamed of La' your philosophy.” Leave “heaven” out of that, and there are more things in earth and air and water than a Mohammed could dream of in a cen- tury. And he once dreaméd seven Years of busy life while the water in an overturned pitcher was running out. Every year that | work in farm or garden | ‘come up, bump, against some new barricade. Then rises the ques- tion; how to get over it, or under it, or around it. Every season confronts me with some new enigma, which I must solve or suffer. Let it be Prankly admitted, right here and now, that I generally suffer, and seidom solv One season the trouble may be comparatively harmless, and another ft may be vicious as Satan and plle disaster on disaster.

During the last month we've had, here, days of parboiling heat, with the mercury sizzling around 98 degrees in the shade, and days the same week which were 50 cool 1 had to wear my sweater to keep warm while at work. Since Au- gust first we've had three nights so stifingly hot that sleep was impossible, outside the ice box, and a dozen or fifteen nights so cold that thick quilts were in demand. Three mornings running, the first week in September, my tharmometer stood at 35 degrees, and my corn and beans and cucumbers and squashes and peppers and toma- toes have come so near freezing to death that they've stopped growing. It's all they can do to keep alive, to say nothing of fruiting. Yet, as I told you, some weeks ago, I find a few crops, five in all, coning better than they ever did before with me. What's sauce for the goose is mot sauce for the gander, evidentl; My truck patch is mostly loamy, shading off in some places into a more or less gravelly deposit. The teach- ing of others and my own observation led me to believe that, in these grav- elly portions, at least, nitrogen was king. I have striven to supply it, in a measure, by plowing under ali the humus-making materfal I could. This season I determined to try a commercial fertilzer, high in nitrates. So I bought some from a prominent New England maker. Its analysis shows that it is very high in nitrogen content, and well up in. phosphorus and potash, as well, all In _the most soluble and quick-acting forms. It cost me for fertilizer, frelght, hauling and applying ebout $50 & ton. Well, I've tried it in all sorts of ways and all sorts of combinations. In connection with four tons of rot- ted stable manure I used four hundred pounds of it on a scant fifth of an acre of asparagus. That's at the rate of twenty tons of manure and one ton of fertilizer to the acre. And I've had the biggest and best asparagus I aver had or ever saw. I put it, at the same rate ang with the same proportion of stable manure, on my onion bed, and the onions began to rust and had to be pulled before they were three-quar- ters grown. 1 put the fertilizer at the same rate without any stable manure on my carrot and beet bed, and am going to have a fine crop. Similar treatment of my melon patch has re- sulted in practical failure. For early potatoes I used the fertilizer alone, at the rate of a thousand gounds to the acre. Result, the poorest yleld I've had of years. For corn, I used four hun- dred pounds to the acre on one patch, fertilizer alone. It was the very worst corn 1 ever saw. Stunted growth, im- perfect ears, niggard yleld. Another patch with stable manure plowed un- der and hen manure in the hill, no tertilizer, is a good average crop as to stand, but just three weeks later than the average. One patch of tomatoes, cow manure at each plant and three times repeated doses of fertilizer, hoed in_between the rows, has given me a very poor yieM of fruit, about two ks late. Another patch, given a single application of fertilizer at set- time, shows vines fairly loaded with green fruit, but at least four weeks late. Now, can you “make head or tail” of that sort of thing? I can't, The only ‘certainty I have is that I last spring I did know. That tends to humility, but hardly to financial profit. By the way, speaking of corn, the one’variety which has, on the whole, done the best with me, this un-corn- like season, is_the “Whipple,” origin- ated right In Norwich. It has shown the most vitality in withstanding un- favoruble conditions, has developed Dig ears of first class quality, compar- atively early, and certainly seems to me the most promising of any new variety T've tried in ten years, It has come on, with me, a litile later than Cory or Golden Bantam, but earlier than any other mid-season va- riety, and with ears as big and kernals as sweet as Evergreen, whioh it has beaten by more than two weeks, on even terms of planting and-care. On a little, Tate-planted patch half “Whip- ple’ and half Evergreen, both planted in three foot rows. one foot apart in the row, solely with the idea of rais- ing" fodder,” "the “Whipple” is now bearing fine roasting ears, while the El;,-;rgrwn is not yet even showing silk. Just one other word about asparagus: 1 wrote, early in the season, that the sour spring weather had hurt it bad- ly and it was lardly haif a crop. This was exactly true, at the time, but, even while was writing that, the weather was changing and the later cuttings turned out something phe- nomenal. Moreover, the after-growth of greenery, produced since cutting was stopped, has been a sight. 1 have one stalk w measures nearly ten feet in height, and another which is three and seven-eights inches around at the ground.

A special town meeting was held on Saturday afternoon. Two years ago Mrs. Mary B. Yeomans gave the town & trust fund of $1,500 for the perpetual care and maintenance of the town building.

Mrs. Yeomans was present and read a straightforward and perfectly plain statement of her pogition in the matter. How she came to build the hall for the town and her reasons for making the conditions of the fund for its maintenance as she did was made plain. Her address was forceful and to the point. A motion was made ‘“not to rescind,” and car- ried unanimously. There was not & dissenting voice or vote. Property Sold. Forbes Brothers have sold their farm property, known as ‘the Horace B.

They were coming out of a wood lot and” when near the main road saw something in the middle of an open fleld. They found it was a man's body in an advanced stage of decom- position. An old sweater was the only clothing on the body. The people around Mashapaug are of the belief that the body was that of a Polish man who worked cutting wood off the Butterworth lot last spring, this being the lot where the body was found. The head lay about fifteen inches away trom the body. It is not known wheth- er the man was murdered or whether the- head had rotted off. There s a firebug fn town.
