THE new VEGETABLE
A Combination OF The Beet And
Potato-Said to be Very
Prolific.

A news dispatch from Oregon
reports a large crop of the new
vegetable, the "beetato," a COM
bination of the beet and potato.
This latest addition to human
foods is said to be very prolific
and cf delicious flavor.
1t is not long since Burbank
found a way to make the cactus
edible. The cactus is a desert
plant, 1t need not surprise US
if in some such way man should
discover the kinds of food of
which he was deprived when
Adam and Eve were expelled
from the garden. The record is
(Gen. 1929 that if man could
have had access to those foods
he would have been able to put
forth his hand and eat and live
forever" In disfavor with God
it has been blessing that man
could not do this. for he was
created to live in harmony with
his Creator and could not be
truly happy under any other
conditions.
These wonderful food discov
cries. together with modern ir-
rigation works, remind us of the
prophesy of Joel 2;E1, %, Fear
not, o land, be glad and rejoice.
for the Lord will do great things
Be not afraid, we beasts of the
field, for the pastures of the
wilderness do spring, for the
trees beareth her fruit, the fig
tree and the vine do yield their
strength"
They also remind US of the
great Messianic prophesy of lisa.
35, The desert shall rejoice and
blossom as the rose. The glory
of 1.-THE forests of) LEBANON
shall be given unto it, the excel
lency of (the fruitful hillsides
of Carmel and (of the vale of
Sharon. Say to them that are
of a fearful heart Chose losing
faith in God and thus losing all
hope in life) be strong, fear not.
Behold your God will come &.
and save you tout of your trou'
bles, even including poverty and
death.) Then the eyes OF the
blind shall be opened and the
ears of the deaf shall be I'M
stopped. Then the lame man
leap as an hart and the tongue
of the dumb sing"
