a dream that a big pot of gold had been 
buried beside one of his mulberry trees. 
It impressed him so that he got out and 
toiled all Winter digging around every 
tree. Of course he found no gold, but the 
deep working around those trees started 
them into such a crop that it meant a 
small fortune for him. The ocean has 
brought many treasures to Cape Cod, sea¬ 
weed and kelp, wreckage and fish and 
employment, salt and keen, clearing wind. 
Fifty years ago no one could have thought 
that the last two items would prove the 
greatest assets for Cane Cod, yet such is 
proving the case. Each year thousands 
of worn and weary people will come from 
city and mountain for the privilege of 
standing on this sand bar so that they 
may be blown clean by the ocean wind, 
and go back to their work with new vigor. 
More and more of these pilgrims will 
come with money in their pockets. They 
must be fed and sheltered and enter¬ 
tained. They will want everything from 
potatoes to poultry, and these things rep¬ 
resent the treasure which is to be dug out 
of the soil. As one illustration—milk. 
More and more of it will be needed, yet 
there are not enough cows on Cape Cod. 
I am told that milk wholesales in Prov- 
incetown at 11 cents a quart. At St. 
Augustine, in Florida, herds of cows are 
driven down from the Georgia hills at the 
opening of the season, milked out, and 
then, when the season closes, driven back 
to the hills for the hot months. That 
will finally happen on Cape Cod unless 
the local dairymen take advantage of 
their opportunity. They used to say that 
the average Florida man lives on fish in 
Summer and Yankees in Winter. The 
Cape Cod man has the Yankees closer at 
hand, and he can feed them on fish. I 
think this light soil has several distinct 
advantages, coupled with the market de¬ 
velopment which is sure to come. There 
are few better localities for growiug as¬ 
paragus, berries, poultry and turnips, and 
I think blueberries will thrive here. Crops 
like Soy beans. Sweet clover and Sudan 
grass can be adapted to this section and 
used to improve the soil. It is, of course, 
presumptuous for a stranger to go to such 
a territory and tell what should be done, 
but I can see possibilities on the Cape 
which I am sure can be utilized. Some 
day there will be perfected a practical 
plan for utilizing the power of the ocean 
wave. Then the mighty force which 
smashes against the outstretched arm of 
Cape Cod will give this territory a 
mightier grasp upon industrial power 
than that now bestowed upon the country 
around Niagara. It is a land of great 
possibilities. H. w. c. 
The New South Haven Peach in Michigan 
A comparatively new variety of peach, 
South Haven, bids fair to become of im¬ 
portance in the peach growing sections of 
Michigan. It tvas first propagated as re¬ 
cently as 1918, so that there has been lit¬ 
tle means of checking up the performance 
record of the original tree, which was ex¬ 
ceptionally good. Yet trees that are five 
years of age are doing nicely as far as 
general growth and vigor are concerned, 
and many are said to be bearing well. 
The original claim for the variety was 
that it was a hardy sort—hardy in both 
wood and bud. So far, this point has also 
been verified by the experience of the last 
five years. Moreover, it is said to be 
adaptable to a variety of soils. It is a 
peach of medium to large size, deep yel¬ 
low in color, with red cheeks, and with 
splashes and streaks of red so that it is 
said to be very attractive. It can be used 
for canning, shipping, or for home use, 
and the season is from two to three weeks 
earlier than Elberta. 
In a recent publication from the Michi¬ 
gan Agricultural College in which this 
variety is discussed, it is pointed out that 
from studies of prices of peaches on the 
Chicago market, to which a rather large 
proportion of the Michigan peach crop is 
shipped, prices are relatively higher two 
or three weeks prior to the main ship¬ 
ments of Michigan Elbertas. This is due 
to a shortage of supply at just this time. 
In former years it has been felt that Ad¬ 
miral Dewey, Judd, Barnard and St. 
John Avere good varieties to grow, be¬ 
cause of their good quality, and because 
they seemed to bring correspondingly 
higher prices. Now it is realized that the 
higher prices received for these varieties 
were not due so much to their superior 
quality as to the fact that they ripen at 
the period when there is a shortage of 
peaches on the Chicago market. 
It is well known, of course, that St. 
John and varieties of the Crawford type 
are not high yielders, and are relatively 
costly to produce per unit. The great 
hope of South Haven lies in the fact that 
it appears to be a good commercial sort, 
and that it ripens just about two or three 
weeks bofer Elberta, when the Chicago 
market is strong, XL B. T. 
Yz of a Silo of Corn for $1.50 
Up in Remsen, N. Y., Webb A. Browne & Son plant about 7 acres of corn, to fill a 30 x 18 ft. silo. They were troubled 
with crows, and looked around for something that would rid them of the loss they suffered each year from crows and other 
pests. So they tried Stanley's Crow Repellent. And this is what they write us:—“No more trouble with crows. Would not 
plant corn without it. The crows never light on the field after they have tried it. Saves us from 1/3 to Yi of the crop. 
Crow Repellent banishes the bugbear of replanting. And if a certain acreage will fill your silo, you don’t have to plant 
from 1/3 to Ys more to cover the loss by crows." 
r Bhink of.lt! From 1/3 to ■% of your corn crop saved by expending only $1.50 for 
a can of Stanley’s Crow Repellent! And more than that, they save the time they form- m 
erly wasted in having to plant over again. And a farmer’s time at planting season is u .JkL 
worth MONEY! Mr. BroAvne further says:—“It is my personal opinion that seed corn V/IVt/T'. 
treated with Stanley’s Crow Repellent showed a higher per cent germination.” \ “ 
We are willing to let the corn-raisers themselves write our advertisements for us. Read these 
“I stave Stanley’s Grow Repellent a trial last year. 
Corn is so easily treated with it. A small quantity can 
be quickly stirred through, so that it covers every kernel. 
And it positively will not clog the planter. I used It on 
the most remote parts of two corn fields extending 
in opposite directions from my buildings. Parts nearest 
my dwelling were planted with untreated corn. The crows 
found the parts that were planted with untreated corn. 
They pulled on this next to the treated coni where they 
were as far away from the buildings as they could get. No 
treated corn worth mentioning was pulled”. Wm. j. 
Bernhoft, B.FD 1, Salamanca. N. Y. 
“I counted 1280 crows flying over my corn pieces in an 
hour last year on their way to the woods where 
they roosted each night. They only pulled up two hills. 
This is not written for a testimonial, but just to prove 
that you helped me, and I am willing to return the 
iVL favor”. (From a Vermont farmer). 
"I am used to having lots of com pulled, but this 
year after using your Crow Repellent only four or five 
hills were pulled." Simon Merrihew, Olivebridge, N. Y. 
"Used Repellent last season," also threw some corn 
over top of the ground after planting. Did not find any 
hill pulled up, and we had thousands of crows in this 
vicinity. Use this testimony if you wish. I recommend 
Stanley’s Crow Repellent to anyone who raises corn". 
S. P. Siegars, RFX> l. Cedar Grove. Me. 
"I used Stanley’s Crow Repellent with excellent results 
last season. Not a hill pulled". F. A. Browning, Rowe, 
Mass. 
"I lost three hills of corn on 3 acres. Could not find 
any more. Crows on the piece all the time. Never drove 
them off once. Stanley’s Crow Repellent is very easy to 
apply. Does not hurt the planter, and I believe the 
corn does better. I shall never plant a hill of corn 
again without, it if I can get it at any price.'* E. G. 
Palmer, Kent's II111. Me.

£<Y^Ley: 
“Crows will not pull com where it is used," 
says AV. J. Holt, Milan, N. II. 
"AVould not plant corn without it," writes 
G. Page. Gilmanton Iron AVorks, N. II. 
“Only 4 or 5 hills pulled,” is the good word 
from E. Elsworth, Lake George, N. Y. 
"Crows gave it up as a bad job. and tackled 
my neighbor’s,” says Dr. Rea. Ilarbert, Mich. 
"Planted 80 acres, and they sure did leave 
It alone,” writes Charles Bowman, Beards- 
town. Ill. 
“Did not take a stalk that I saw.” Is the 
welcome word from It. O. Miller, Lucas, Iowa. 
Stanley’s Crow Repellent certainly is won¬ 
derful. The crows did not pull up one hill 
of com in a field of about one and a half 
acres. G. Post. Dover, Mass. 
I never would plant corn without using it, 
AV. Nash, Mt. Kisco, N. Y. 
The Crow Repellent you have is the only 
kind that I have used with complete success. 
S. Shepherd, West Townsend, Mass. 
I was well pleased with it and have recom¬ 
mended it to others. 
I. Padgett, Holmesville, N. Y. 
Your Crow Repellent is well worth the price. 
Some of my neighbors have some of their 
fields all destroyed. 
AV. J. Wilson, Edmore, Mich. 
I used the Crow Repellent you sent me. 
Planted 34 acres of corn with very good re¬ 
sults. The crows would light on the fields 
but did not pull any corn.
