The system of handling the produce
trade in the growing towns and small
cities is very nnsystematic in most
places. Instead of so many small shops
and little markets scattered over the
city it would be far better for con-
sumers as well as producers in the bust
ness were concentrated if an appropri-
ate market building at some convenient
center. A typical market Of this kind is
the nav institution just opened at the
center of the enterprisillg city of Spring
field, Mass The New England Home
stead describes il as follows; 1t is of
yellow brick, l65 by 65 feet, containing
"a stalls. The main doors open and close
by electricity. The basement contains a
fine plant for cold storage of meats.
fruits, vegetables, etc. The display of
these and other foods in the various
stalls is very attractive and is an object
lesson to farmers about preparing their
stuff for market. Although "a new de-
parture, the occupants are already doing
fine business, and on recent Satur-
day night 10000 people visited this
market. Every city in the land ought to
have such public market.

Under the SPICES of the New Jersey
station have been conducted additional
experiments to determine the hardness
of crimson clover for the central and
northern portions of the state and to
test different mrthads Of seeding. In all
localities the plant was hardy. Excel
lent stands were secured when the Land
was well prepared and the seed harrow
ed in, though IN one case it was seeded
July 30 and in the other Sept. 4, = i,
months later. Far catches were secured
when seeded ~ corn and cultivated in.
One experiment Was an entire failure,
probably due quite as much to the fact
that the seed was left on the surface as
to the unfavorabIe conditions of wealth
er. Spring seeding WAS tested in sey-
eral portions of the state, but resulted
in failure whether the seed was sown
alone or with cats.
