SEWAGE AND WATER POLLUTION

SEWAGE AND WATER POLLUTION
The Pennsylvania Department OF
Health has been trying to prevent the
use of rivers and smaller streams for
sewage disposal purposes and several
interesting controversies have result
cd, bringing out some curious facts,
avs the Wheeling News
For instance, it is now admitted by
sanitary experts that the running OF
,ulnhur water from coal mines into
,treams from which water supplies
re drawn is benefit rather than
letrlment. Huzleton is one of the
tiles that has been ordered to cease
implying its sewage into river and
o construct a disposal plant instead.
The HazIeton authorities contend that
he sulphur water from the mines
which flows into the SusquehannA and
Iehigh rivers destroys all germs that
night be in the sewage. DIR. Dixon
3uperintendent OF the Department OF
Health, admits that is true, but says

a BOOSTER PLEDGE.

The West Virginian is in receipt sol

liyared by Governor VIM. f. Glass
cock before the State Board of Trade
meeting at Huntington last month. IL
the opening remarks the governo-
says:

on the States needs. 1t would proba'
bly, require less effort to tell you some
things that we don't need. And if ]
should do tiIis 1 would mead the list
with knockers, and tell you we don't
need any more of them. 1 don't want
to be understood as saying THAT West
Virginia has an. unusual number o!
knockers, because that Is not true;
but we have enough of them, and are
not inviting others to come in and
Join those that We have. I saw in
paper the other day a pledge which
the citizens of certain town were
asked to subscribe to and it struck
me as something to which we might
all subscribe without in any wise de.
stroying our Influence or iniuring our
usefulness, It read like this:

And this Is Wagner's Winter Rhu-
barb. but why winter we cannot tell. as
1t grows and yields and is good every
month In the year. But in the winter
comes the great demand for the east
ern market, and hence its specific name
Winter Rhubarb.
Just think what luxury this Is to
the eastern people, snowbound as they
are and hungry for any kind of fruit
and vegetablel 1t Is at this time that
its yield is the largest, and the yield
is something wonderful, seven to ten
tons to the acre. Good land, with
proper care and attention. should yield,
il planted to this crop, from $500 to
$1,000 an acre the first year after plant
ing.
we know of no other crop which will
do as well, even in California. There
is no tiresome waiting for years for the
trees to come into bearing; your rhu-
barb pays the first year and keeps on
paying every year thereafter 1t
bears shipment better than most fruits
and gets into the market in prime con-
dition, and at the very season when
people are hungry for 1t, and there Is
always a demand.
It's possibilities are just being realized
and there is little doubt that when
they become fully known, rhubarb
shipments will take their place beside
citrus and deciduous fruit shipments
from California and the growth of this
plant become as prominent horticul-

to be weeded and titled without chill
ing a whole frame full of young plants.
Then the hand frame was made in one
piece, called a bell-glass, from its
shape, in size from ten to twenty inches
across 1t could be set over twenty
five young plants, giving them every
ray of sun, keeping out the winds
which chill and dry tender green things
and securing the moist. mild air which
is the secret of all quick growth.
In warm winter middays both bells
and frames are tilted to give air,
but they are closed by o'clock. and
IL the day grows chill, on go the shut
ters for the frames. or the reed mats,
and the packing of strawy stuff and
bracken round the bell glasses Is
piled foot over all in the worst weather
till the sun is warm again.
1t is a busy life. shifting the frames
and glasses, watering the soil, COW
ering and uncovering, watching the
thermometers inside the frames, to
add fermentable material, II the soil
loses a degree, for 1t must be 80 de-
grees one inch below the surface all
winter.
But how merrily the green things
grow in those warm sheltersl Most
of them were sown about August 21,
when the gardeners new year begins
-sown outdoors, and when they show
ed two leaves beside the tiny seed
leaf, they were picked out in the
frames, covered with glass and mats
till February. Then they are put un-
der the clotches--that is. the bell
glasses-three or four caullflowers, or
a dozen lettuce under each glass or
hand-light to hurry up for use.
French gardeners begin sending
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-26

fresh lettuce, asparagus and new
small turnips and carrots to the Lon
don markets a week before Christmas,
and keep up the supply till March.
They sell 200 crates of asparagus daily,
averaging at wholesale rs cents to $l.50
bundle of 25 heads. They sell 500
dozen punches of small early carrots
and 100 crates daily of the fine French
turnips. There Is no waste to the let
tuce, all it's leaves being silky, crisp
and delicate, far finer than the out
door sorts. Then the cress, sown on
bass mats, thoroughly soaked with
water comes out crisp and clean, free
from grit litter or insects.
The essentials of success in garden
ing are good rich soil, warmth and
shelter, even temperature as nearly as
may be, and steady moisture. For the
soil we must use all the litter and
waste of the town stables and country
roads, all dead leaves from wayside
and forest, all scrapings of ponds and
drains, all drainage of kitchen ana
laundries For shelter, We may use
hedges and orchard belts, or lattices
hung with vines.
We need not invest in expensive
of glass in steel framing,
as some of our western American grow
ers now do. The clever Frenchman
finds his cheap board frame with old
window sash sufficient, and instead OF
thick straw mats at 80 cents a piece,
he uses reed mats at sixpence each,
which last four years or more. the
reeds grow in most of our marshes, and
is a very simple and profit
able trade.

CRIMSON WINTER RHuBARs

H HE state of California seems to be
the mother of new Industries. To
n the large family of industries has
been added within a few years an In
dustry which promises to add thou
sands of dollars to the state and to
furnish employment to many men. This
new industry is the growing or GRIM
son winter rhubarb, which has already
become a prominent one, although still.
young.
For this industry we are indebted to
]. B. Wagner of Pasadena, who some
wears ago had his attention turned to
the Improvement of rhubarb by know
ing that its origin was the humble dock
family. II 1t had been developed from
this. 1t was surely capable of further
development. With this idea he select
ed the Australian crimson winter rhu-
barb as one of the parents. and by
iudicious crossing he has evolved his
present wonderful winter rhubarb with
stalks three feet long, thick as your
arm, and so tender that It snaps like
glass; so delicate In flavor that II Is a
luxury to the palate.
Among the plants selected were 100
from Luther Burbank. for which Mr..
Wagner paid $35. Mr.. Wagner says
that this looked like fortune to him
at that time Now he has on his
nursery grounds at Pasadena fifty va
rieties. all selected and all being used
for experimental purposes
These fifty varieties, however, do not
represent all by any means that Mr.
Wagner has worried with for thousands
of plants were propagated before a de-
sirable variety was obtained. and out OF
