long been famous for the growing Of
peas, both dry and for canning. There

crop WAS failure In most sections,
good crops were harvested at both OF
the stations The yields were high.
The peas of the canning variety at
Ashland yielded an average of over
81 bushels per acre, while the so
celled soup varieties averaged over
80 bushels. Scotch peas averaged 80
bushels per acre. With prices rang
ing from two to three dollars per bush
ell and even more. it Is easy to see
that the pea crop is destined to be OF
great value for this region.
The growing Of seeds OF different
kinds is an industry which can be
developed and which offers very fine
returns for the right man. There IL
a good opportunity to make money by
raising wheat and barley In rotation
with other crops. The region which
as has Just been mentioned, has been
favorable for pea culture also has
been found to be splendidly adapted
to the growing Of the wheat crop
Nothing has been said with regards
to the growing Of sugar beets. AS
matter OF fact this crop can be grown
very profitably and the sugar content
is high. The drawback in tho past
has been the matter Of labor for most
regions. 1t has been found to be a
very profitable crop in Marinette coun-
ty.
Truck farming opportunities are to
be found in a good many localities.
The region tributary to Superior and
Duluth offers exceptional inducements
for the growing OF garden stuff OF all
kinds Cabbage and other kale crops

having good shipping facilities. such
as Ashland, points near Hurley in Iron

possibilities Of growing this crop.
The writer has had experience in

scale for five years and has found this
crop one of the most profitable to
grow where soil conditions are right
and the shipping and marketing facil-

be understood that potatoes should
not be at any great distance from a
shipping point owing to the bulkiness

the most successful regions for the

PlCkLfNG TIME.

Every frugal housekeeper likes to
nave her shelves we'll stocked with
good things for the winter. Today
one may buy such good canned goods
that much of the work has been given
up; but we all have a few time-hon
ored and handed-down recipes which
We prepare each year. The following
are few which are old and reliable;
To Can Green Corn Without Cook
ing.-Take nine cups of corn cut from
the cob, have the corn just picked,
one cup of sugar, half cup Of salt
and a cup of cold water; mix all to-
gether and place in sternized cans
sealed tight. Freshen when using.
Beet ReIish.-A quart of boiled
beets chopped. two cups Of sugar, ia.
blespoonful of salt, teaspoonful OF
white pepper half teaspoon of red
pepper and cup of grated horserad-
ish; mix all together and add enough
vinegar to make it moist. Can cold.
Canned Red Peppers.-These deli
cious little appetizers which cost too
much in the winter to have often, may
be canned successfully at home. First,
raise your own sweet peppers. and
when ready to can, wash and cut in
strips with the scissors, cover with
boiling water and let stand five min
utes drain and plunge into ice wa
ter to cover, in which there is large
piece OF ice. Again drain and pack
into pint jars. To one quart Of vine
gar add two cups of sugar. Boil to-
gether fifteen minutes and pour over
the peppers until overlooking; seal
and store in cold place.
Ripe Tomato Pickle.-Mix the fol
lowing ingredients In a stone jar;
Three pints of peeled and chopped
tomatoes. cup of celery chopped,
four tablespoonful of chopped red
pepper. the "bity" kind, and four ia
blespoonfuls of chopped onion, the
same of salt six Tablespoonful OF
same of salt. six tablespoonfus OF
teaspoonful of cloves, the same OF
cinnamon, teaspoonful of grated
nutmeg, and two cups of vinegar. This
will keep year, and is good to use
IN a week. Fine for meats.
