The Rent Payer 
It might be of interest to some of your 
readers to know how much produce can 
be sold from a small tract of land prop¬ 
erly handled. I sold last year enough 
produce from a tract of land measuring 
120 by 102 feet (a small garden), and 
measurements were from fence to fence) 
to pay for one-half of the cash rent of a 
68-acre fai-m. I pay .$.300 cash for the 68 
acres. This small tract of land measures 
7^/4 by 6 1-5 rods, and equals 9-32 of an 
acre. There is in fact just about one- 
fourth of an acre of tillable land. 
I use this land to raise early garden 
ve'getables to sell. I raise two crops a 
season. I usually manure it twice a year. 
Last year we raised two crops, then 
sowed it to rye. It has a nice growth of 
rye now. The land is a yellow sand. It 
slopes to the north. It does not thaw out 
as early as a south slope would, or we 
could plant earlier. The first crop I 
planted was onion sets for green bunch 
onions, spinach and lettuce. These crops 
were all harvested by .Tune 16. Then the 
land was plowed and fitted again and 
planted to cucumber seed for pickles. On 
account of the very dry Summer the cu¬ 
cumbers did not do their best. Before 
the end of the season they withered up. 
I expected about .$75 out of them. 
Now for the financial returns. Out of 
the first crop I sold .$49..38 worth of green 
bunch onions, $.30.82 worth of .spinach 
and $19.67 worth of lettuce, a total of 
$99.87. The cucumber crop brought in 
,$58, or a grand total of $157.87. This 
income is at the rate of $631.48 per acre. 
We also had for our own use for a family 
of eight all of these vegetables we could 
use. The outlay for seeds was only a 
trifle; 50 cents for two pounds of spinach 
seed, ,30 cents for half a pound cucumber 
seed; the lettuce seed was over from the 
year before. The onion sets I had on 
hand. They were the small onions and 
pickling onions out of our year-before 
crop. Their sale value was very little. 
In fact, pickling onions are almost un¬ 
salable here. If I should place a value 
of $7 on them there would be left $150 
net. This piece of land has been used 
now for four years for the same purpose, 
and has yielded well every year. It 
brings in some funds early, when we need 
them very much. S. n.

Postscripts 
Ix parts of the South and West there 
is a growing practice of planting corn 
in rows seven feet apart with three rows 
of Soy beans between each two rows 
of corn. All are well cultivated and the 
Soy beans are plowed under. In some 
cases Crimson clover is seeded among the 
beans like any cover crop. This plan 
gives at least two-thirds of a normal 
corn crop, and builds up the soil rapidly. 
It is a good practice for restox'ing run¬ 
down land. 
Take our advice and mix a little Al¬ 
falfa seed in with the clover whenever 
seeding. The Alfalfa will slowly gain 
and inoculate the soil. 
Does anyone know of any better bak¬ 
ing potato than the white variety known 
ns Money-maker? 3'here used to be a 
variety known as Orphan which was 
very superior as a baker. We would 
like to get a list of the finest baking 
tubers, as there is undoubtedly a grow¬ 
ing demand for this class of potatoes. 
'riiEUE are many que.stion.s about fight¬ 
ing the corn worm when it ai)pears in 
the ear. Some of the sweet corn grow¬ 
ers dust dry ar.senate of lead on the 
ear as it comes in silk. This gets the 
worm, but could hardly be done on a 
large scale. 
Rememhek the difference between 
cow peas and Canada peas. The first is 
a hot weather plant and should not be 
planted until after corn. The Canada 
pea is a cool weather crop and should 
be seeded with oats. 
It is hard to make clear the difference 
between coal and wood ashes. There is 
practically no lime or potash, or any 
jilaiit food, in coal ashes. They are use¬ 
ful as a mulch or for improving the soil 
mechanically. Wood ashe.s contain lime 
potash and phos phoric acid, and make a 
good fertilizer.

The Only Car 
That Does Those Things Is 
Hudson Super-Six 
The &uper-Six is the only car that 
ever we; t 1819 miles in 24 hours. 
It is the only car that ever went 
from San Francisco to New York and 
back in 10 days and 21 hours. In 
that one round trip it twice broke the 
ocean-to-ocean record. 
At Pike’s Peak, a Super-Six Special 
defeated 20 great rivals, all specially 
built for hill climbing. It made the 
best time in the world’s greatest 
hill-climb. 
It holds all the speed records for 
stock touring cars, and the records 
for quick acceleration. 
Note What That Means 
You say you don’t want a racing 
car. We know you don’t. You will 
never, perhaps, use half the power or 
speed of the Super-Six. 
But mark that this motor is a small, 
light, simple Six. We have added no 
size or cylinders. We have taken a 
light Six and, by this invention, 
increased its efficiency 80 per cent. 
And solely by reducing friction, which 
destroys the motor and wastes its 
power. 
We Did Just This 
The Six-type motor had great 
limitations. Despite all perfections, 
much vibration still remained. And 
vibration causes friction. 
Some engineers, including the Hud¬ 
son, were testing Eights and Twelves. 
They felt that twin-type motors 
might solve the friction problem. 
The trend was away from Sixes. 
Then Hudson engineers brought 
out this Super-Six invention. It is a 
Hudson invention, patented by Hud¬ 
son. In this new-type Six they 
obtained all the efficiency and endur¬ 
ance sought for in the multi-cylinder 
type and they did this without adding 
cylinders, complications or weight. 
All in Endurance 
All the Super-Six records—for 
speed, hill-climbing and long-dis¬ 
tance—were won by this motor’s 
endurance. They mean that motor 
wear and friction are reduced to 
almost nothing. 
By excelling in these feats, it proved 
that this motor will outlast any other 
type. 
That is what you want above every¬ 
thing else. You want less wasted 
power, less wear, less friction. That 
means, of course, supreme perform¬ 
ance. But it also means supreme 
economy. 
What You Can*t Afford 
Some men will say, “I can’t afford 
a superb car like the Hudson.’.’ 
But you can. All this beauty, 
luxury and superlative performance 
will cost you less than many a car 
without them. 
The Super-Six invention, in all 
probability, doubles the life of a 
motor. It saves the power which was 
wasted in friction. And this year we 
add a new gasoline saver which saves 
a great deal more. 
No other fine car gives such value 
as the Hudson. No other car has a 
motor which compares with this. A 
higher-quality car is impossible. Yet 
note how far the Hudson undersells 
many cars that it out-performs.. 
Go see and prove this car. It is now 
the largest-selling car above $1200. 
And the saving shows in the Hudson 
price.

Raise High Priced Wheat 
on Fertile Canadian Soil ^ 
Canada extends to you a hearty invitation to settle on her 
FREE Homestead lands of 160 acres each or secure some of 
the low priced lands in Manitoba, Sask atche wan and Alberta. 
This year wheat is higher but Canadian land just as cheap, so 
the opportunity is more attractive than ever. Canada wants 
you to help feed the world by tilling some of her fertile soil 
—land similar to that whichduring many years has aver¬ 
aged 20 to 45 bushels of wheat to the acre. Think of the 
money you can make with wheat around $2 a bushel and 
land so easy to get. Wonderful yields alsoof Oats,Barley 
and Flax. Mixed farming in Western Canada is 
__ as profitable an industry as grain growing. 
The Government this year is asking farmers to put in¬ 
creased acreage into grain. Military service is not com¬ 
pulsory in Canada but there is a great demand for farm 
labor to replace the many young men who have volun¬ 
teered for seiy ice. The climate is healthful and agreeable, 
railway facilities excellent, good schools and churches 
convenient. Write for literature as to reduced railway 
rates to Supt, of Immigration, Ottawa, Can., or to
