BUSINESS BITS. 
Tha Early Potato Crop. 
This is the round and sweet potato sec¬ 
tion. lioiind potatoes ai’e looking green 
over the lields. Some sweets are set out; 
weather cold and dry. s. j. c. 
Cheapside, Va. 
Our soil is a dark loam with a gravel sub¬ 
soil, so we have natural drainage. 1 am 
pleased to report no rot or replanting, ex¬ 
cept a few low places where the water 
formed ponds. Acreage about as last year; 
early potatoes coming up. c. o. 
East Williston, L. I. 
I have an acre of swamp Hebrons plant¬ 
ed April 11, in soil that is a sandy loam. 
The seed pieces were cut to one eye as a 
rule, and some of them are very small. 
One part of this acre is so low that I 
could not drain the water off it. In that 
particular spot the seed pieces are entirely 
gone, but ehsew'here I failed to find any 
that were rotted. May 7 I counted three 
sprouts above ground. They were planted 
about three inches below the surface, and 
the ground was harrowed level. April 13 
and 14 we planted five acres of Green 
Mountain and Carman, and April 17-18 we 
planted six acres of Sir Walter Raleigh and 
Carman on very heavy but well-drained 
loam, and a careful examination a few 
days ago failed to reveal any rot. The 
acreage planted in this vicinity is about 
the same as last year, but potatoes are 
planted very much later than last year, and 
late plantings as a rule have a hard time 
to make a showing, as the bugs find them 
even before they get out.of the ground. 
Syosset, L. I. j. s. b. 
Fruit Crops.— The outlook now is good 
for a fine fruit crop this season. The 
apple and plum trees are loaded with blos¬ 
soms. If there is no frost the prospect is 
good. The grass crop is looking fine for 
this time of year. The Spring was favor¬ 
able for clover roots. The clover crop has 
been light here for the last two years. 
Antwerp, N. Y. l. s. r. 
The present outlook is bright for small 
fruit; pears and cherries are blooming full; 
apple trees seem to be laying off this year, 
especially Baldwins and Greenings. Many 
other kinds are budding full. Only about 
one farmer in 10 sprays his orchard, yet all 
realize we must do it if we expect good 
' fruit. I. s. J. 
Otsego Co., N. Y. 
So far the season is backward, with cold 
winds. Apples not forward enough yet 
(May 6) to tell. Plums, Lombard, will 
bloom full; cherries, what few there are, 
and pears I think the same. We had plenty 
of rain so far, and grass is looking well 
for this time of year, but winds are cold. 
Some have finished seeding; others not 
commenced back on hills w'here ground is 
naturally moist. a. h.
