ton, winner of a regular prize of five dollars. However, 

 the patch of a fraction over two acres netted him thirty 

 dollars and six cents. The season proved too short 

 for potatoes, cucumbers and other tender vegetables, 

 but he thinks he might succeed next time by planting 

 everything of the very earliest varieties. Corn filled 

 poorly and only the early kinds would mature. Cab- 

 bages thrive, but early and medium varieties were best.
