ONION GROWING

The onion farmer is comparatively
new arrival upon the scene of Industrial
activities in Texas. He is now one OF
the large contributors to the wealth Oh
the state. In a little more than eight
years the value of the annual produce
ton of onions in Texas for the market
has reached approximately $1,000, 600.
When the fact Is considered that TINS
enormous wealth is derived from only
about $500 acers of land, some IDEA may
be had of the abundance of the yleld
and the good prices that are obtained
for the product. Onion growing mas
done another thing to help Texas. IL
has been the direct means of adding
more than S2,500,000 to the intrinsic
value of her lands. Inasmuch as the
growers put a good portion of their an
nual earnings from the industry INTO
property improvements in town ana
country, the increase of taxable WeaIth
from this source has also been CONSIDER
able.
The wonders which were wrought by
the magic touch of Aladdin's lamp were
no greater than the transformation
which onion growing has brought TO
certain portions of Texas during the
last few years. Land which, from the
time of the early visit of the Spanlards
to the Rio Grande border section was
thought to be almost worthless, and at
the very most only fit for goat grazing,
is now bringing in an annual net return
of from $500 to $500 an acre from the
onions which it produces. BEFORE the
inauguration of onion growing any OF
this land could have been purchased at
from 81 to so an acre. 1t has now no
established value for the reason tha ina,
none of it's owners are willing to sell
They will not fix value upon the land;
Some of them are free to say that land
which has such large producing quail
Ties ought to be worth not less than
$1,000 an acre. Some of the onion grow
ers say they would not be willing to ae ,
cept less than $4,000 an acre for their
lands. Even at that price the annual
net return will average nearly 20 per
cent on the Acknowledgement

I is strawberry season in California
and MISUNDERSTANDING those
L. who are ineXperienced-will find
the following hints of service:
The fruit should be ripe and firm.
No money can be saved by buying
fruit left over from the day before
which may be selling cheaper than the
fresh berries. All, on the other hand,
may be lost by this means.
Strawberries cannot be cooked by the
ordinary method without losing their
color and without shrinking somewhat.
Cooking in the Sun
One woman, who is famous for the
delicious quality of her preserves, has
found that by cooking Strawberries In
the sun for preserves their color and
original flavor are retained. The pro-
cess sometimes takes several days, but
the housewife claims that she is repaid
for all her effort by the result. She
covers platters with single layers of
large, ripe, solid berries; sprinkles
them with graduated sugar, covers
the dishes with sheet glass and places
them in the sun until the sugar is
melted and the berries are thoroughly
cooked. AS one pound of sugar is al
lowed to one pound of berries the con-
serves are very rich. To facilitate this
process she warns the sugar in the
oven before turning it over the fruit,
The plates are brought into the house
as soon as the sun disappears at night,
and are put out again the next day.
Clear, warm weather is needed for the
purpose.
Canning
Perfect sterilization of fruit, can and
LIQUID is the secret of successful can
ming. The sugar, it is said, has no part
in the preserVative process. The first
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1909-06-16

step is to get the fruit ready. That
bought in the market must always, of
course, be washed. Put it, pound by
pound, in a colander, set the colander
in a pan of cold water and rinse it
gently up and down until all sand has
been removed. Then remove the hulls
with as little injury to the berries as
possible.
The best results can be obtained by
cooking only a pound at time. A
larger quantity Is apt to be bruised
and crushed by it's own weight. Put
pound of the fruit into each of two
bowls, cover each with a pound of
granulated sugar and let them stand
an hour or two, or until the sugar
shows signs of melting, but not until
the berries are soft.
During this period the can may be
made ready. Be sure that there is a
new rubber for each can. Put the Jars
and lids into dishpan of hot water
and rinse them thoroughly. The last
thing before filling, each can and cover
should be scalded, and before adjust
ing. each band should also be scalded.
AS soon as the fruit and sugar are
ready, turn into two saucepans and
bring to boil. Scald a jar, stand it on
a wet towel and fill it running over full.
Run a silver knife around the sides to
break any bubbles that may be there
and faSten down the Scalded top.
A Fine Blend
Few people realize that the flavors
of pineapple and strawberry make a
delicious blend. One family recently
discovered accidentally a delightful
dish. The cold juice of a bowl of
strawberries, which had been covered
thickly with sugar for several hours,
was turned over shredded pineapple
which had been previously sweetened
and chilled on ice. Served in bowl,
the mixture of the red syrup and white
pineapple was most attractive.
Frozen Strawberries
Frozen Strawberries have no rival in
deliciousness of flavor on hot day.
Cover two boxes of berries with two
cnnfuls of granulated sugar. Mash
them and let them stand an hour or
two. Dissolve one pound of granu-
lated sugar in four cupfuls OF cold
water. Add the fruit and freeze, but
before it is quite stiff add one pint of
cream whipped. Pack in ice and salt.

CASTOR OIL SANDWICH

"If only I had known sooner about
that little trick of the orange sandwich
for giving castor oil to children how
many awful struggles both the baby
and 1 would have been saved" said a
mother who had been told by the doc
tor to give her baby this unpalatable
medicine.
The orange sandwich is simply a
small quantity of orange juice put into
spoon with the needed amount of oil
added, and over that enough orange
juice to cover the oil. This is an eX-
cellent method for taking either castor
oil or olive oil. 1t has been recon-
mended several times, but is such a
really valuable discovery for mothers
that it is repeated for the benefit of the
few who have not tried 1t and who still
look forward to a scene" every time
such dose must be given.

PEARY ALSO FOUND
THE NORTH POLE

The announcement that Command
er Peary has discovered the North
Pole rivets the attention of the world.
Whatever question of priority may ex-
list between Peary and Cook, there is
no doubt but that to the United States
belongs the credit of the discovery.
The announcements of the achieve
nents of two Americans coming with
in five days of each other is one o.
the most remarkable condolences in
history.
That Peary will claim TO ibe the first
iiscoverer now appears to be definite
ly assured by the first formal an
nouncement telegraphed from Indian
Harbor. saying the North Pole had
been discovered on April 6 by the
Peary Arctic Club expedition comman-
ded by Commander Peary. This Is sec
onded by a London dispatch from St.
Johns 81 ating that Peary was the first
man to reach the pole.
Aside from the question of priority
the statement of Pearys discovery
appears to be accepted by the world
AT large and scientists with the alb
sence of doubt and skepticism far diff
ferent from that which greeted Cook s
announcement.

hagen today, says that he is the first
to shout "Hurrah for Peary." II the

HARTMAN REPORTED TO BE
IN ALARMING CONDITION

Arden. n. Y, Sept. All the
alarming runors regarding the con
1ition of f. II. Hartman have been
revived by the relapse of Sunday
night. From the best information oh
tainable today il is believed that the
attack which caused the hurried call
for doctors and nurses was a TEN
porary sickness caused by change of
temperature or indiscretion in diet
DIR. w. G. Lyle, the private physician
calls the attack, acute indigestion. "
While the attack in itself may lead
to serious results, there Is always the
danger of grave consequences in the
case of a man in his weakened condi-
ton. II has been announced that the
attack has been arrested. although
his temperature is still high and he is
very weak.
The talk of an operation has been
revived but there is nothing definite
10 support such a rumor.
The newspaper men who had been
wi hdrawn from Arden at Hartman s
request have been hastily recalled.
Ex-Governor Benz. b. Ddell visited
the Hartman home today. He is an
old personal friend of the financier
and it is believed he was summoned
last night. Odell told a passenger on
the train that Hartman is "a very
sick man."

all inquiries to DR.. Lyle" said Judge
Lovett at the Union Pacific office this
morning. 1T is true that Mr.. Harri

cided that, after the public discus
sion of the suspicious circumstances

night of revelry at nearby autom
bile roadhouse. there is no other way
