Alfalfa was an unknown crop a few
years ago. Now it is one Of the most
reliable and profitable of Texas crops.
1t has not been long since the onion
was produced only in n few short rows
for family use. Now the onion crop is
one of Texas best advertisements. The
effort to raise for the market me-
dicinal plants began with one enter
prising citizen of Grayson County only
Il few years ago. Now this line Is be-
ing taken up :ul will be carried on for
all it is worth. The list is growing
longer, and the prices of cotton and
other farm products are better than
they used to he, and the nan with the
hoe is growing more independent. The
sugar bvct is low being tested. Colo
RADIO holds first place in the production
of beet sugar in the United States.
With 422. I:i2. so pounds of sugar from
1886 1866 acres, while Michigan and
California are closely matched for sec
ond place, producing 1866 900 900 and
1G4 100000 pounds, respectively. The
sugar beet crop in this country last
year brought $4,5OO,OO0.
The present year will be an tmpor-
tant season for experiments with the
sugar beet In Texas. Let the tests be
made under as good conditions as pos
sihle. There is really no doubt as to
the results in localities where the soil
is of the right density aud quality.
Lands that produce fine crops of beets
of the ordinary variety or the biggest
turnips in the world are quite sure to
break 4 few records in sugar beets If

Eggs are preserved i'll many other
ways besides cold storage. Often the
preventative is effected by excluding
the air by coating, covering or miners
ing the eggs, some material or solu-
ton being used which may or may not
be a germicide. An old domestic meth
Cd IS to pack the eggs u oats, bran or
salt; another consists in covering the
eggs with lime water. which may or
may not contain salt. In Germany
sterilization is effected by plAcing in
boiling water from twelve to fifteen sec
onds. Sometimes they are treated to a
solution Of alum or salicylic acid. 9th
er methods consist in vanishing with
a solution of ~p"rmanCanato Of potash.
vanishing with collodiOn or Shpllac:
packing in peat dust. preserving in
wood ashes. treating with Il solution of
bOric acid and water glass. vanishing
with vasclinc. preserving in lime wa
ter. preserving in a solution of water
glass. The last three methods have
proved most successful. Infcrtile eggs
will keep much better than fertile eggs
by n manner Of preservation.

Farm Labor.

One of the greatest problems con-
fronting agriculture is competent farm
help that can be secured at q compen-
satlOn prOportiOnate to the net earn
ings for tire farmer Manufactures,
mining and railroads furnish employ
ment to a vast number OF workers who
are under trained forcmen and their
wages are graduated according to the
amount OF product they can turn out.
Manufacturers and transportation cor
porations are capitalized and the in
vestment is required to earn a fixed
dividend for the stockholders. The
earnings are expected to exceed the
dividends, operating expenses and tiXed
charges to create a surplus fund to
conduct affairs In emergencies and dur
Ing panics without stopping dividends.
The farmer is ~compr!!rl to compete
In the open mArNet for help to conduct
his agricultural operations. While the
farmer is delighted if his investment
returns n reasonable profit, he has no
T. course if the seasons results are con-
Quoted at a loss. The manufacturer in
timeT Of financial string~lsY TO protect
stockholders discharges a part of his
force, reduces their wages or runs his
plant on shorter hours. The farmer
can only protect himself from exorbi-
tant wages by the purchase Of costly
lnhor-saving machinery.
The world moves forward and the
higher cost of living. the increase in
value of farm lands INC the higher
prizes of agricultural products will not
0 Q revert to old low standards. The
farmer will not find cheap labor of
fered in the market except by inetii-
cient employees.
Agriculture is annually becoming
more Of a business proposition and the
standard of labor advanced on the
farm The farm lah0rer must under
stan1 modern agricultural machinery
and o to operate it to obtain employ
Ilent. Machinery is too expensive to
be trusted with inexperienced opera
tors. and the man who can Skiiifuliy
hal.dle modern farm implements is in
demand on the farm at a wage scale
that will compare ~favorahly with the
employees in Industrial enterprises.
Farmers are now practical business
men and the MINORITY Of them keep
books on farm operations and know the
amount Of their profit and loss annual
ly. Farming as a profession is heCOm-
ing more attractive and diversified and
labor needs to be more skilled to meet
new conditions Of agriculture. The in
ducements are potential for young men
to qualify as farm laborers and the
field offers rs brilliant prospects rs
any other profession. The farmer is
not so much in quest Of cheap labor as
efficient help and is willing to pay a
wage scale proportionate to the ability
and proficiency of the laborer as an up
to-date farm hand.-Goodall's Farmer.
