work around the foot. This part of the
foot has to do more than its share of
work. Corns are chiefly found on the
inside of the foot because of the hab
it of fitting the shoes closer to the
center of the frog than the outside,
thus throwing the work on the inside
heel.
Another error is making shoes right
and left. Why should this be done
when there is no distinction in the
anatomy? The foot has as many
points of observation as a marine
compass and each point must be rig
idly observed if we wish to be sue
cessful in manipulating the ailments
of the foot
The shoe must be an equal distance
from the center of the frog in order
to balance the foot If this cannot be
done by nature mechanical rules must
be followed.

Everywhere there are indications
that the land has continued to rise
more rapidly at the north than at the
south around the basin of the Great
Lakes. The lake ridges bordering
Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, Lake Huron
and Lake Michigan all show this.
These lake ridges are old shore lines
formed when the ice INSTRUCTED the
drainage to the northeast, and so were
at the time of their formation level
But now they gradually rise, so that
they are much higher at WATERFOWL
N. Y, than they are at Syracuse, and
they are higher at the northeast end
of Lake Erie than they are at the
southwest, and so as you go north
along the shores of Lake Huron and
Lake Michigan, and in the Red river
valley along the old shore lines of
glacial Lake Agassiz it is found that
there has been a warping of the
earth's crust since their formation.
G. K. Gilbert of the United States
geological survey, after careful study
of the facts, shows that this deforma-
ton of the earths crust in the basin
of the Great Lakes is still going on,
and is gradually tipping up the basin,
tending to drown out the cities that
are at the southwest end of the lake.
and eventually to turn the whole
drainage over through the line of the
Chicago drainage canal into the Mis-
sissippi valley The rate of this
change of level at the northeast part
of the basin he finds to be such that
he nfav. -
from nine to ten inches in a century
This he calculates from study of the
bench marks that were established in
Buffalo and other places 100 years
ago. He concludes, therefore, that,
unless dam is erected to prevent it,
Lake Michigan will again begin to
overflow into the Illinois river in
about 500 years; for the summit of
the channel leading into the Illinois
river is only about eight feet above
the present mean level of the lake,
and only four or five feet above the
high water level. In 500 or 500 years,
therefore, unless a dam is built, the
water of the Great Lakes will begin to
spill over into the Mississippi valley
during it's high stages, and in from
1000 to 1900 years there will be a
continuous flow during the mean
stages of the water, while in about
1000 years as much will run into the
Illinois river as now runs over Mia
CARA, and in $500 years the rock bot
tom at the head of Niagara river will
be so high that there will be no Niagara
fe.lls for tourists to gaze upon or for
electric companies to utilize for light
and transportation. The basin of
Lake Erie will then drain into the
Mississippi valley by way of the Chi
cago sanitary canal.

cradle changes in land level have

garden crops without protection and
many of the more tender crops with
only slight protection during the win
ter months The islands off the coast
of South Carolina, in the vicinity of
warm currents and by the atmosphere
of the sea that orange trees are grown
successfully in the open, and in some
favorable seasons are known to pro-
duce fruit. 1t is therefore possible to
grow the harder truck crops in the
open and the more tender ones with
very slight protection during the win
ter.
The advantages of the Norfolk re-
gion for truck work appealed to
Jerseyman by the name of Hugh
Bates, who went to this section about
1910. Naturally he followed the prac-
tees of his home people of New Jer-
sey in the new territory, and, while
he found some of his precautions I'M
necessary, his work on the whole was
successful He was followed later by
other growers from the same terri
tory.
1t was not until 80 years later that
the first all-rail shipments of truck
were made from this territory. Rail-
ways began carrying the products
from Norfolk to northern markets in
1885, and from Charleston in 1888.

cabbage to the requirements Of the

You Must Work for Success.

Nothing succeeds like success is
a very old saying, and very true. Nor
is it a senseless sort of saying, for it
simply means that anything that is
worth doing is worth doing well,
therefore 1t must succeed.
1t requires earnest effort and con-
slant, careful attention to make any
thing succeed, declares a writer in
the Pittsburg Gazette-Times. This
does not mean that you must give up
everything else, and devote all your
time to it, but that you must be in
full sympathy with the work and earn
estly desire final success.
1t is the constant, ever-present de-
sire that leads men to their goal.
Like the magnetic force at the north
pole, it is ever influencing your guild
ing needle, so that if your desires are
earnest and honest, you will find your
life drifting toward the thing desired.
The spasmodic desire. or the fitful
wish, will never accomplish much.

In the interior of continents it is
more difficult to find evidence of
changes in land levels, because we
have no fixed data from which to cal
culate. But in two or three places
in New England scientific men affirm
that there have been such relative
changes in the heights of mountains
that distant peaks which were once
visible from certain points are now
obscured by the elevation of interven-
ing peaks.
For the most part the known
changes in earth levels have been
slow, but we cannot safely infer that
that has always been the case; and
even now the elevations are some
times by leaps, as in the case referred
to on the west coast of South Ameri-
ca. A noted instance occurred about
twenty-five years ago, when the east
ern face of the Sierra Nevada noun
tains in California was permanently
lifted ten or twelve feet for a long
distance by a single earthquake shock
In general, however, we may be conf
dent that the foundations of the earth
are so firmly established that no sud
den and widespread catastrophe from
changes in land level need be feared.

each forms a chapter in the cultural
history of this important truck crop
For instance, at the south cabbage is
a winter crop, seeds being sown dur
ing September and October, the plants
transplanted to the field at the begin
ming of winter, and kept in a slowly
growing condition throughout the
colder portion of the year, to be
forced rapidly by the addition of slim
uIating fertilizers early in the spring
to supply the demands of the market
as the warm weather comes on. This
product is naturally very soft and
must be consumed with little delay;
and, since it is grown on a very ex-
tensive scale (see Fig. -, it must be
so distributed as to meet only the i'm
mediate demands of the market to
which it is sent.
At the north the crop is of a very
different character, both in variety
and in the method of it's cultivation
The great bulk of the northern-grown
cabbage may be considered as q
truck-crop feature of the general farm
ing in sections where the industry has
gained a foothold. The cabbage crop
takes a regular place in the farm TO.
tation in those communities where the
industry has become a permanent
feature. In some sections it forms the
chief money crop of the fall season
occupying a position similar to that
held by potatoes in other sections.
This great crop is measured ~by
thousands of acres and millions OF
tons. At harvest time, in October and
November, it is shipped to the great
consuming centers in bulk in carload
lots. 1t is stored by thousands OF
tons in specially constructed ware

The development and extension of
truck farming in the Atlantic coast
states has been coincident with the
development of transportation facili-
ties throughout that section. The
phenomenal growth of the great con-
Stunning centers of the country has

and extension of the food-producing
territory, especially of that capable
Of producing perishable truck crops.
Transportation facilities, together
with cheap labor and cheap lands at
the south, have made it possible to
produce products out of season at the
north in competition with greenhouse
products
The first development of truck farm
ing, as we now recognize it, as dis
tinguished from market gardening
took place about Norfolk, Va, and
Charleston, S. C. Both of these places
were provided with steamship connec-
lions to northern ports before rapid
railway transportation became a fea-
ture in the moving of perishable
products and as a result of these .ad-
vantanges for reaching the markets
these two ports became important
truck producing centers for supplying
the northern trade.
Besides these advantages, the pecu-
liar geographic formation of the terri
tory Immediately surrounding Norfolk
gives it a winter climate characteristic
of sections many miles southwark
The fact that the coast line of the
United States at this particular point
is very broken, together with the prox-
unity of the Gulf stream, gives this
area winter climate which enables
it to produce some of the standard
