THIS SE. ‘Written Specially for The Bulletin. I didn't begin to compléte the story {'of this seasor's crop puzzles, in our last talk. It's been without exception the most wrong-side-to, bottom-side-up, topsy- turvyly twisted season I've ever known on _my ranch. There are Lima beans, for' instance. In lots of places, farther south or nearer the coast, where the early frésts are not quite so early as here, it'is no trick at all to raise Lima beans. Up here among the mountains where we're liable to killing frosts any time_up to June and any time after August_ they're a mighty, chance-y crop. Tt has always taken .an extra iong and extra warm season for me to, secure'any sort-of a: pick. About three yedrs out of five. say, they have matured sufficiently to make succotash material. 3 This vear the eeason has been ‘extra shor® and estra cold, with one boiling week’s exception. Yet ~those ' pole TLimas, planted as mearly as possible under usual conditions, have already, this second week in' September, ma- tured their entiré crop ‘and sent it to market. Usually T am able to be- gin_picking only about’this time. and am cut off by the first frost with half the crop’ unfilied. Even in a warm, forward season, I mean. Yet this cold, wet. backward 1918 has sent them along ' earlier. than ever before, and enabled them to mature their pods in a way I have never yet seen'in this latitude. Then there’s egg plant. That is an- other' heat-loving plant which I can only raise.by accident. I put out a few plants every. year, because I have some customers who, are. crazy for the things and I want to zratify them, if rossible. But I don't think I've aver- aged a decent yvield one year in three. 1f the potato bugs.didn't eat them all up in early summer. the September frosts would catch them just in blos- som, ordinarily. Only when the springs have been early and the falis late and the summer tropically hot have I man- aged to secure a crate or two. Again._however, with a late spring and a e#ld. wet summer and every thing weatherwige against them, m: few plants have produced more fruit, already, than I've had, any one ssason, for the past ten years. Here are two tropical or' semi-trop- |ical crops, Lima beans and egg | plants, which have eimply. outdone themselves for me during this seml- Arctic season. T'm obliged them—profoundly obliged to them. I'm no: kickinz one little bit. I'm mighty glad they did so weil. But— While turnips’ which will grow in Alaska, and oats which do their best in the cold highlands of Scotland, have succumbed with me to the un- usual cold and wet how in the name of all that's reasonabdle did egg plants and Lima beans pan out so well? Why should a season too * backward for emi-Arctic crops-have proved a kind- nurse to semi-tropical crops? That's what gets me. I can't see through it. 1 feel as if the laws of the Medes and Persians had been changeg—much as I would if I should to up-hill. That last can't happen, vou'll say, Well last spring I should have sajd; just as emphatically, that a sea- son which was too cold to grow tur- nips couldn’t possibi; produce egg plants. Yet that is just what the pres- ent season has done. Talk about water running up-hill; or elephants balancing on their tails or the old cow jumping over the moon —why, none of these thtmgs seemed any more improbable or impossible than what has happened back of my barn to the egg plants and Lima beans THE FARMER'S TALK TO FARMERS chanee on a eteam of water running | ASON’S ODDITIES this abnormally backward season. Another thing; I wonder if any ‘of you have had my experience - with crops “bunching up’ tiis year? Com- ing all in a heap, I raean, even when sowed or planted so as to provide for successive ripening periods? Peas, for illustration. I.sowed last spring as usual seven varieties' of peas; the seven which past experi- ence has shown do best on my -soil ang cover the longest period of ma- turing. Hitherto, the seven have fur- nished pickadle 'peas, one after an- other, each variety beins from three to seven days later than the one be- fore it.. To insure an even longer bearing period, 1 sowed them, as usual, at two times. That is, I sowed half my seed of each variety as early as the ground was fit, then” waited till these had come up erouzh to show the rows before sowing the other half. With seven varieties having seven dif- ferent periods of ripening thus sown at two intervals, I ought to have had fourteen different times ‘for picking. As a matter of fact, I had just three The extra earlies came on extra early, as usual; the extra lates came on ex- tra late, as usial. THe other five kinds all came on in a bunch without twen- ty-four hours' differcnce in their ma- furing, oven thongh their normal habit should have separated those eown at the same time by at least three weeks. , And ‘half of those five kinds were §own' full two weeks later than ‘the other half! I'm not talking, now, about seedmen's statements of when and how they should pod. I'm talking about the way thev actually have podded on'these same flelds; un- der the same treatment,” in previous years, 42 The same was true with sweet corn. 1 planted four yellow and three white kerneleq varieties—the very _ones which past experience has shown mg to mature aboat a week apart. Th¥ ought to have ziven me, as it gener- ally has in the past, about seven weeks' picking. - The extra early came on a bit carlier than usual It was hardly cleaned up when the five next sorts all filled simultaneously, so that 1 had a five weeks' supply, all at once, and then had to wait three weeks for the latest eort to come on. That makes “bad business” for a marketman who has a home trade to supply; twice a week. But ‘what's the explanation for all this freakisHness? That's the ques- tion which,bothers me. Hitherto, we've all been inclined to reckon the hard-won experience which farmers gajn from long ascocia- ion with thein.own fields as_the big- gest asset in our capital. But here h | | i | comes a season which. on my partic- { ular farm, gt ieast, knocks all my past experience :and all its teachings out of the ring and over the ropes. I feel las if I'd been transplanted to a mew {sort of world with things happening cortrariwise; and ‘all the carts before | all_the horses. There must be 3 reason for it all. I don’t care a rap for Uncle Tke's “idees” or Neighbor ~Waterhouse's dogma- tisms. But T wish I could, somehow, some sort of a grip on the under- causes 'which have produced topsy-turvy results, T want to kriow so as to arrange for future: If I've zot to stand on v head mext:year and vear after, T want to begin practicing now. so as to get used to it, and not be up-ended v and without any prepara- & season. | tion, as t Or has my experience been s~ un- usual that.it doesn't count? Am T the only dirt-digger in ten states who has been inverted and reversed and trans- posed ang tirned 'tother-end-to? Have other gardeners and farmers had any similar seasonal somersaults to report? THE FARMER. WESTERLY _Governor's day, always the: big day of the Waehington county agricultural fair at Kingston, was made the biggest yet by the announcement that William H. Taft. a former president of the Uniteq States. was to address the multitude in Hazard hall. Included in the drawinz magnet was the further announcement that Governor LeBaron Colt and many lesser politi- cal lights would illumine the assem- | blage. It has been-the custom for| vears for politicians, large and small, | from every nook and cormer of the| state. to hold an informal reunion at the fair on Governor's day and patch their fences. They were all at the fair Thursday, and to an enlarged de- ! gree reminded of the old-time Con-| necticut Governor's day at the Niantic military camp, where the hopes of many politicians . were realized or doomed. The people came to the. fair on _earlier trains than on the two pre-~ vious days, and before noon the former record for attendance was broken, and two hours later a new and much big- ger recorq was established. The vari- ous exhibits were visited and the gen- eral opinion prevailed that they have never been surpassed, while the vau- deville show and races were up to the usual standard. In the parade and exhibition of| { grange floats the Exeter grange took first prize with a patriotic float rep- resenting war. while Richmond zrange. symbolizing fne} seving, was awarded | second honon. &s.hony grange. out- | side of the county competition, was | given a blue ribbon for its represent- atlon of patriotism. The Exeter float consisted of a lum- | ber wagzon, drawn by four yoke -of | ‘oxen, and the characters were Colum- bia, Miss Jennie Hathaway: Belgium, | { Miss Fannie Brown; England, -Miss | | Hattie Brown, and France, Miss'Flor- once Money. - The patriotic effect was made impressive by: the presence of a soldier and sailor, each standing be- | neath the outstretched arms of Colum- | bia. The Richmond float showed two | women sawing wood and a farmerette | splittihg it. Mrs. - Isabelle. Hopkins as a farmer- ette, Mrs. May B. Richmond ag a Red Croes nurse, Miss Grace M. Richmond, representing Ceres, and George A.| Richmond, dressed as Uncle Sam, | formed the characters of the Anthony | | grange float. First prize in the grange exhibits in the- Exhibition hall was awarded Ash- | away grange, while Exeter and Rich- | mond received second and third hon- ors. respectively. At the instigation of® William A. Poliock. one - of - the largest exhibitors at the fair, all the vegetables and fruit shown or the grounds will be turned over to_the Red Cross this - (Friday) noon.- They will be auctioned off this afternoon by | Jammes M. Tourga, Jr. after“which a| rimmage sale will -be held fer the benefit of the Reg Cross. ation day being observed as a in several places in thie state gave an: opportunity to many to.at- tend the fair,’ and it' was apparent | that advantage was taken .of the event. A “frequent salutation and response heard on the srounds was: “Hello, how ‘be Ve, have ye registered?” “You | bet I have, and don’t ver forgetit!” There are a much larger number of booths in the midway ‘than usual and it is estimated that the concessionists on” the grounds number at least 150 men- of draft age and most of these come “frory the big cities. It is an Liv- | ingstone Beeckman and staff, Senator | whether they have complied with law in regard to registration. and Governor Beeckman- and party arrived just before moom, and were | escorted “from the station " direct to | Hazard hall, by the East Greenwich iband, a platoon of Providenre police- | men,’ uniformed sailors, Red Cross | workers and others connected with the war activities department of the fair. Miss Caroline Hazard, former president of Wellesley college, and daughter of the late Rowland G. Haz- ard for so many years head of the fair aseociation presided. The speak- ers were the Homs. Taft. Colt and Beeckman, and each made stirrinz and patriotic addresses, the war situation being the general topic, and was dis cussed from all angles. Considerable enthusiasm prevailed throughout the meeting. as each of the speakers punctuated each sentence with words of cheer and true patriotiem. The political .issues were touched up- cn, but mot so strong as to hide the real issue of the meeting. which was one of unadulterated patriotism from beginning to end. The distinguished | speakers spoke with force, and = at times eloquently, and the ideas ex- ressed, have been ziven substantial- efore in the public addresses. The 'sorse racing events included two events, a free-for-all pace, and .18 trot, and hoth were closely con- tended, although no remarkable speed was shown. The best racing was in the free-for-all. with the driving of Jesse T. Carr. of Westerly a feature as he cnided. Buster - Brown a winner in thres straight Heats of ‘a split race. In the 218 Jimmie Mace was second in the ‘first heat*when Crown King hroke just lefore reaching the finish. The summarjes: Free-for-all, purse $200. Buster Brown. b. .
