celery are defective for commercial purposes.
Truckers are working to solve the problem, how
ever, and ultimately will succeed. So. likewise
they are striving for economies In other direc-
lions. For example, means have lately been
discovered for utilizing the greenhouses or forc-
ing houses for vegetable raising all through the
summer instead of allowing them to stand idie
throughout the interval. Some crops are found
to do better under glass even In midsummer.
Finally 1t may be noted that even the potato
has taken standing as truck crop In late years
and thousands of acres are annually planted In
early varieties Of potatoes which are harvested
as soon as they attain suitable size and rushed
to market.

An interesting side line" that has developed
in connection with twentieth century trucking
is the canning and preserving industry. we
see this tendency exemplifed In two ways.
First, there Is q disposition on the part OF
the big canning firms that put up" tomatoes,
corn, ETC., to raise their own vegetables and
in not few instances In late years the cam
ming factories have been moved ito the helds'
to be near the source of supply. Secondly,
and more significant, 10 the disposition OF
truckers to put up In glass or tins their sur
plus products and to market them direct. The
farmers wife and daughters. from time out OF
mind, have been stocking tho home larder
for winter use in this manner, but latterly
they have taken to picking and preserving
for the great outside public as we'll In many
instances where the responsibilities have be-

was wont to declare that 1t did not pay to

Of soil filling. The fruit grower who has had
any experience comes to expect the inevitable

placency. and even the grain grower does not
look for the same ratio of profit from every
harvest However. the truckers, particularly
those operating small farms patches" are

One explanation, too, of the emphatic COM
plants that are heard with reference to truck
ing conditions in an unfavorable year is found
IN the number Of newcomers In the field-men
and women who prior to their present venture
had never had experience in farming of any
kind. The tales told in recent years Of the
profits and delights of trucking the ease with
which the products can be disposed Of and the
comparatively small outlay required for a Ave
or tenacre intensive farm" have combined
TO lure into the field many people who woe
to them, had no fund Of experience to draw
upon. Particularly has this been the case
near our large cities where many small truck
farms have been started by city folks. either
as the side line" of some city occupation or
with a view to obtaining an anchorage that
would later permit migration to the country.
Az in poultry raising and other supposedly
get rich quick" vocations there have been q
number Of more or less bitter disillusionments
of late years In tn field Of trucking, but, by
and large. the industry has developed ire
mendously. It has come to be appreciated by
many of the uninitiated that In truck garden

TREASURY FINANCIAL PLAN
May Retire Spanish War Bonds
The Panama Issue.

Washington, March 2.-The retirement ot
the SS4oo,oo0 per cent Spanish war bonds
now outstanding may be one of the feat
ures Of Secretary Macveagh's financial
plan. after the Treasury has been replen-
ished with the proceeds of a preliminary
issue of s2S,0oo,oo0 to S5O,oco0co OF Panama
bonds. The Spanish war bonds we're issued
in 1898. were payable at any time after 1908
and do not mature until 1918 About $50 =
0oo00 OF them are owned by national banks
and held by the Treasury as security for
bsnknotes and public deposits.
As soon as the details OF Mr.. MacVeagh's
plan are perfected the first issue of the
Panama bonds will be made under the
new law, which exemots them from use as
security for national bank circulation. The
issue Will mark new era in the finances
or this government All bonds issued here
tofore have carried the circulation privi-
lege, and, Treasury officials think, have had
an artificial value as q result. The new
issue, being availab bic for investment only.
will establish a new price for this govern
ment's securities. Under the law they can
not be issued at less than par. and II IS
probable that they will be sold TO tho
highest bidders. After~a value has been
established IN that way it is not improba-
ble that future issues, such as for the re-
tirement Of the Spanish war bonds and
other purposes. may be offered for popular
subscription, and the bonds would be avail
able in small denominations.
In making the issues Secretary MscVeagh
intends to plan them TO meet the conditions
Of the money market and It is assured that
the new loan will be fioated in parts, as the
needs OF the Treasury may require. II
seems certain that the first issue Will be
made before summer.
