WHERE MUSTARD Is RAISED

Mustard, the sauce plant of nation
is cultivated only in Santa Barbara
County, California. This locality grows
the mustard for the entire country and
the hundl eds of acres of brilliant canary
yellow and brown are pleasing sight
to tourists who enjoy the pungcnt odor
Of the mustard flower.
In the region Of which LOmnoc is
the ccnuc $500 acres are devoted to
the industry occupying the attention of
some 80 farmers. One Of the pccu-
liarlic5 incident to the cultivation of
mustard is that no farmer EMPLOYS
himself exclusively in growing it, be-
cause oil It's absolute refusal to Weld
two successive crops from the same
soil. The mustard farmer must there
Tore alternate his crops, and he usually
does so by putting half of his land III
beans, barley, corn or bccts, while
the other half is given over to mus.
tard, and thus change in the soil be.
comes regular. What principle of the
soil is withdrawn by this peculiar sauce
piquant is a mystcr,' that science has
not as yet solved.
The Lompoc Valley has been in the
business Of raising mustard for eighteen
years, the farmers taking their cue
from the abundance Of wild mustard
found on tho hills ami in the valleys OF
Santa Barbara County, and the success
of the early dcvotces stimulated Others
to follow in their wake.
The best results arc now secured
from land lying in the middle of tho
valleys and along the banks of the
Santa Yucz River. The soil is darl
and almost without grit and the hcavic,
soil is preferred. In the cultivation O.
mustard much water and dampness art
necessary and one thing that con
tributes TO the success of the LOmpot
district is its close p, oXimity to the sea
and the heavy fogs which roll i'm ever,
evening are equivalent to rain, givin.
the soil the GOODNESS required.
The sowing time for the brown va
riety Is in January and March for th
yellow. The ground is broken and cul
tivrted, after which the seed is sow
broadcast, four pounds to the acre
The mustard stalk is straw color
growing from foru to five feet il
height the pods arc from to 4 niche
in length, containing one row of seed
only. In harvesting the crop a rcape
is used, cutting the stalks and THROWN
them in lunches, where they are lci
to cure until October. They arc no,
thoroughly dry and are transported t
some central place and spread out upo
large sheets of canvas, where th
stalks and pods arc rolled with heav
roller until crushed, after which the
are raked off with hand rakcs. Th
chaff and seed remaining are ru
, through tanning machine, whic
, separates all the light and loose mat,
, rial, and the seed is ready to sack an
) market.
! Mustard is The greatest among herb
but the least among seeds, and its u:
and annual consumption is becomir
: greater each year. San Francisco

product is shipped to the East al

Mrs. Lizzie Doty, of Mexico, Mo.
has Just won curious lawsuit brought
against her by firm which manufac
lures bronze monuments. Some time
ago she ordered from the plaintiif a
S3Sl bronze monument, to be erected
on the grave of her parents, with this
inscription The Lord is my shep-
herd, [ shall not want" The cngraver
made it read Clear" instead of "want !"
and Mrs. Doty refused to pay the bill.
The lawsuit followed. The Judge in
structed the jury that if they consider
cd the inscription to be material
variance from the words of the Psalmist
they should find for the defendant and
they did 50.

There were calls Cor Youmans, and
after some hesitation he came forward.
Col. 4oumans said he had wondered if
1t were possible to organize the cotton
planters of the United States. 1t is ac-
knowlcdgcd that it is most difficult to
organize the agricultural class as some
one has said, "rhcy are the natural

There is heap of truth in these
words. In the wreck which followed

hardly be blamed for seeking a com.

But times have changed. Now the

OF utilizing timber resources and of

~ want OF the union Of theory and
practice in the culture Of the farm has
created prejudice in the minds Of al
most all farmers in regard to what is
called book farmng-that a man who
habltually studies farm journals aud
newspapers is most sure TO fail when
nc comes to the practical details of the
1arm. That there is some truth i'm
the statement is candidly admitted
says the SOutherW F'ulin lfuuGxi,c.
All nave known men who could talk or
write llucntly on agriculture, and vet
were failures on the farm. This arises
from TWO very natural causes. First,
a man who is thoroughly conTcrsant
WIN the theory of agriculture, and with
those sciences which have a natural af-
Unity TO agriculture, such as chemistry
ana geology, has most probably spcnt
me greater portion Cf his life IN the
students cell and has never tried to
learn the practical details of farming,
just as military man may Inc a marti-
net III the drill, and yet fail in the more
important work of directing the storm
OF battle. In the second place, men of
great executive ability and of practical
sklll In any pursuit drc seldom welded
10 theories, and arc more diigcnt in oh :
serving than III studying. Hence it
often happens that a most successful
farmer is unacquainted with the pri
mary principles of those sciences upon
which agriculture seems to rest. and
while he can tell by inspection what
will grow best on this field or that, will
probably be unable to tell whether the
soil Is siliceous, argillaccous or calcarc-
ous. On the other hand, the man of
theory can analyHe and tell the com
poncnt parts of the soil in any given
locality, and yet be unable to select
those spots that will produce the best
cotton, tobacco or corn.
The truth is, the thcorist deals too
much IN gcncraliucs and the practical
larmcr too much in particulars. The
knowlcdSc OF both should be united to
produce the greatest results. 1t was
the union of the two that enabled the
farmers of Scotland on their barren
mOorS To realize more handsome profits
Tran are made by the farmers IN the
richest valleys Of tho New World 1t
is the union Of the Two that has in
creased the production of grain i'm En-
gland an hundrcd-fold IN the last cen
turN, and ii will be the union Of the
two that will in the future make the
| Wornout fields OF the South again con-
tribute to the wealth and sustcnancc of
great people. Theory united with
experience ana practice will ALWAYS in
sure success.
