Manila is Behind the Times.

Manila is ore of the most important

When they crossed the magic line where

dons of proud Castillian ancestors did not
revise their calendar. When told of this
years later, and informed that their mode
of reckoning time was not up to modern
notions, they only said that that was so
much the worse for modern notions.

The number of disconnected Turks
must be enormous. Forty-eight thousand
have been exiled during the last eleven
years. To these must be added those
who have fled and those who are related
to the exiles. During the last five years

WHERE MUSTARD is RAISED.
Santa Barbara County, California,
Has Almost Monopoly.

Has Almost a Monopoly.
Mustard, the sauce plant Of nation,
is cultivated only in Santa Barbara
county, CAL This locality grows the
mustard for the entire country and the
hundreds of acres Of brilliant canary
yellow and brown are pleasing slght TO
tourists who enjoy the pungent odor or
the mustard flower.
In the region of which Lompoc Is the
center. $500 acres are devoted TO the III
dustry occupying the attention OF some
$50 farmers. One OF. the pecularltles
incident to the cultivation of mustard Is
that no farmer employs himself eXclus-
lively in growing it, because or It's eapso-
lutte refusal to yield two successive crops
from the same soil. The mustard farmer
must therefore alternate his crops, and
he usually does so by putting half of
his land in beans, barley, corn or beets,
while the other half is given over to
mustard, and thus change In the SOIL
becomes regular. What principle of the
soil is withdrawn by this peculiar sauce
piquant is mystery that science has not
as vet 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
the hills and in the valleys of Santa Bar
bara county, and the success of the car: "
devOtees stimulated others to follow IN
their wake.
The best results are now secured from
land lying in the middle of the valleys
and along the banks of the Santa Yuez
river. The soil is dark and almost with
out grit, and the heavier soil is preferred.
In the cultivation of mustard much wa
ter and dampness are necessary, and one
thing that contributes to the success or
the Lompoc district is its close proximity
to the sea. and the heavy fogs which roll
in every evening are equivalent TO ram
giving the soil the GOODNESS required.
The sowing time for the brown variety
is in January and March for the yellow.
The ground is broken and cultivated, af-
ter which the seed is sown broadcast.
four pounds to the acre. The mustard
stalk is straw color, growing from 4 TO
5 feet in height; the pods are from to
inches in length. containing one row or
seeds only. In harvesting the crop a
reaper is used, cutting the stalks ard
throwing them in punches, where they
are left to cure until October. They are
now thoroughly dry and are transported
to some central place and spread out
upon large sheets of canvas, where the
stalks and pods are rolled with heavy
roller until crushed, after which they are
raked off with handrakes. The chaH and
seed remaining are run through a fan
ming machine, which separates all the
light and loose material. and the seed is
ready to sack and market.
Mustard is the greatest among herbs,
but the least among seeds, and its use
and annual consumption is becoming
greater each year. San Francisco is the
distributing point and much of the prod
uct is shipped to the East and Middle
West.-ChicagO Record.

Speaking of the opportunity afford
ed to leave the high altitude Of Grip
pie Creek and bask in the delightful
climate at Canon City, the Times
Citizen says:
The increasing popularity of tn /.
Sunday excursions to Canon City, run
by the F. & C. C. railway, was attest
ed last Sunday by the number of cars
composing the train which included
seven coaches, as against five two
weeks previously. Certainly no bet
ter evidence could be produced.
"An additional charm to these ex-
cursions is the ability of the passen-
gers with an eye to scenic effects to
take in the Royal Gorge, on the
Denver & Rio Grande, at a trifing
expense above the excursion ticket.
And this magnificent example of ma
ture's handiwork is SO well known to
be one Of the scenic triumphs Of the
United States that to overlook an
opportunity of seeing it when that
opportunity presents itself SO easily,
is TO commit an almost objectionable
oifense against ones love of the

The expense Of the course to the
committee was placed at S121.
Here the matter must rest until
something of a tangible nature is
shown by the people Of Canon City,
and to more fully ascertain what our
people want the committee will make
. personal canvass in order to ascer-
tain how many season tickets can be
pledged. 1t is estimated that at least
$50 people ought to subscribe for
such tickets. With that assurance
the plan is feasible and will be faith
fully carried out.
The RECORD would urge upon its
many local readers the apparent
necessity Of liberally subscribing for
tickets when the committee calls up
on them. A first class lecture course

well for the intellectual element in
any community.
