WORTH BUILDING UP.

this country. II is one Of the recent
additions to American agriculture and

Cidedly worth while
I'm 1899 the sugar beet crop was
grown on 135.OOO acres. In 1904 il
used 100000 acres. In 1909 the acre
age had increased TO 10000 acres.
That was the year covered 10y the latest
census. Ia the same periods the tons
OF beets harvested had increased from
794 600 to 2.175,O0O and then to 1865.
0OO Meanwhile the price Of the beets
per ton increased SO per cent and the
gross revenue per acre had risen 100
per cent 20 So, which is very hand.

years the sum paid TO growers Of su.
gar boets rose from SS.4S5.32O to $23..

beet sugar showed corresponding ex

that II has made good" There are

Many young wife welcomes a be-

a husband refraining from eating
onions any time and anywhere he
chose, or endeavoring to remove any
wife's dislike for them. She can
learn to eat EN- herself-sure!
1t is a matter of courtesy not TO eat
onions before entering polite society
or calling upon ones best girl. This
should not be held against the onion
however. There are other things just

Chicago Inter-Oceaa.)

WHAT THE ONION FARMER KNOWS
The lowly onion is at last publicly
appreciated. A whole state honors it.
Texas has had an onion day as a mark
of gratitude for the 100000 or more
that has been contributed to its wealth
by the odoriferous vegetable.
a good many people like onions, but
hesitate TO admit the fact. 1t has
not been considered fine" to have
liking for onions. The onion has
been something TO keep in the back
ground, as it were-like a taste for
limburger cheese, boiled cabbage, and
the like. All these are plebeian foods.
Far be it from superior beings TO par
take of such! and yet, baked, boiled,
fried, raw in salad or in seasoning
there isn't a more delicious edible
than the onion.
The real trouble with the onion
is its lasting fragrance. We don't like
| its lingering tendencies. 1t proves the
| house in the cooking, and landlords
of apartment buildings have forbidden
the cooking of the onion, exc the cab
/ bage, upon the complaint of tenants
who dislike being compelled to partake
Of these vegetables by way of the nos
tril instead of by way of mouth.
There is no more delightful sensa
