The perplexing question OF what 70

housewife to solve these days. when
the stalls in the markets are literally
running over with good things to eat
from all parts OF the land. strawber-
ries from Norfolk hobnob with Cuban
pineapples while close by on vege-
table stand Egyptian, Bermuda and
Texan onions are deadly rivals.
The market men say that the con-
tinued cool weather has kept prices up
10 an unusual degree, and one con-
siderate fellow said that he actually
hated TO tell the people the prices Of
things-"they was so scandalous high"

ones cost 10 and is cents one shop

shortcake; when they get TO two for
quarter that makes Just enough for
one saucer apiece with cream, and
when they get down 60 cents a box,
then I buy FIVE and let them have all
they want-but a quarter Is my limit"
The berries are coming from North
Carolina, the Eastern Shore Of Virginia
and the Eastern Shore Of Maryland.
Cabbage From North Carolina
Cabbage IS being shipped from North
Carolina, and is being sold for 8 to 10
cents per head. This is higher than

Farmers have been speculating on

vegetable crops by the recent frosts,

extent. Some Of them say that there
was very little damage. while others
are Of the opinion that all vegetables
except the very hardest have been
killed. The reports indicate that the
vegetables growing down the country
are the ones that have suffered the
most. and this also indicates that the
frost was heaviest in these places.
Tomatoes and beans. which had been
doing fairly well under very trying
weather conditions. went down under
the assault of the late frost Beans
and tomatoes are. Of course. the ten
derest plants that there are and it
takes very little frost to kill them.

these plants TO the ground. Some OF

tomato plants tried 10 save them by
covering them up but they were un-
able 10 protect all. while some that
