But I don't know'and’there is no way for'me to find.out,-except the old" one of trying everythine -and" tak- ing what comes. The trouble is that those which proved.good last year may be the very ones which will-tirn out rotten failures this -year. .’And "those which ' didn’t pay for their.seed. last year may :bring in the-best: crops and the biggest profits this season., Con- ditions, so far as I can shape or mold them, ‘shall be . the same: - treatment shall be as nearly identical ‘as ‘possi- ble: the same safeguards .ehall be adopted. And vet one year will re- turn me good results and. the - very next will dump out a - wretched «fizzle. I've got, this summer, the best car- rot-bed I ever had in.my life. The tops are rank and deep - sreen. The stand is as regular as lieart could ask. Already we have pulled carrots from it bigger than any I dug last vear as late as October. Anq they're - still growing,—growing like weeds. On that ve: ame ground, last year, the same variety of seed, bought from the same house, sowed with the same the same amount ure, falled to produce one-tenth ~the crop I.could harvest ffom it this day, if"I chosé to pull them now. : o There you have,it. Seed the same; ground ‘the samé;. fertilization -the same; cultivation the same;—every- thing which I can do the same. But the 'season, which I can neither control nor' affect, is different. Per contra, last summer I had a fine vield of early summer .squash. This summer, with evervthing about them Which I can govern the same, the crop is'a flat failure. 1 shall not have endugh to pay for the seed. If. basing -my action on last sum- mer’s resuits, I’ had refused to sow any more carrots this spring but had largely increased my planting m- mer squash, where would I havefbeen? In the soup, so far as both are con- cerned. Tt is the same with numerous other ' crops. By - beets, ‘onions, . cab- bages, caulifiowers, - lettuce, spinach, spring .wheat, etc., -ere simply fine; far and away beyond the average. 'My corn, squashes, cucumbers, melons, peppers, oats,, grass, étc., are all !‘!t_unted or. thin-or weak and unprom- sing. . Now, I'm just an. average farmer, and I have just average dirt and av- erage wi to work with., There's nothing ual por - out-of-the-ordi- nar- about anything on'mynarticular place..
