With a clean, sharp saw remove the

of water and a deep, rich sol! are tho
essential of Intercropping. In districts
that depend on a meager rainfall of 11
to 20 Inches per annum, or where Irri
gation water is both scarce and costly,
the practice becomes of doubtful vntno
under any circumstances. In moit o
the frnlt districts of the west water for

price, and the extra amount required
for Intercropping represents but n
small part of the net gains from such
crops.
HAVANA AND HALLADAY LEAF
Latter Proving Profitable For Those

The Illustration reproduced from tho
Now England Homestead shows two
types of tobacco grown on F. M. Ar

Is tho Ualladay tobacco; tho other U
Uavana. The Halladay type of tobac
co, which was originated only a few
years ago. Is holding true to type and
proving a profitable tobacco for tbosa
who are In position to prime their crop.
It will bo remembered that the Ha"
laday typo of tobacco was first found

fleld, Conn. Tho presenco of tblsspoit
cr new variety was due to tho break
Ing up In tho third generation of a
cross between Havana and Sumatri
tobacco. The plant was saved, self
pollinated and guarded.
Tho result of several years' selection
Is as pictured here, a broad, rather
short, round, pointed leaf, which In
closely set on the stalk. The veins aro
rather small, and the tobacco Is pr
nouueed by those who aro growing It
this year to be a marked success.
