Among the important temperate
zone vegetables that have been more
or less successfully grown are cucum
bers, eggplant, lettuce, beans, cow
peas, radishes, carrots, peppers and
pumpkins. In fact, there is little
reason to doubt that with knowledge
gained through systematic expert
mentation a sufficient supply OF vege-
tables will be produced to replace, in a
large measure, the canned and cold
storage products at present consumed
by the white inhabitants. 1t is true
that many obstacles will be en-
countered in the establishment Of an
agriculture upon a modern business
like basis, and much remains to be de-
termined through experimentation, es-
pecially as to manurial treatment and
as to the best varieties OF native and
foreign plants.

HYMNS ARE POORLY WRITTEN
Good Poets Have Not Composed Re-
IlslouS Songs We sing, says
Enallshman.

II IL melancholy thing 10 read an
English hymn book. Doubtless for
most OF us sacred associations gather
around the hymns we sing, so that we
abandon ourselves TO the feelings
called up by these associations. and
do not notice what we are singing.
writes Prof. w. II. ID. Rouse in the
English Review, Yet II In a critical
mood we examine them we cannot but
be overcome with melancholy,
They are so well meant and so badly
expressed 30 pious and 80 ridiculous.
They are sentimental when they
should be impassioned groveling In
stead Of penitent, incoherent when
they ought to be simple.
II is not true that great poets are
irreligious: on the contrary. their
glory II is to see a soul OF goodness
In things evil. and this Is the essence
OF religion, Yet our hymns are obvi-
ously not written by poets There IL
surely no reason why religion and illit-
eracy should be uneQually yoked to-
gether and II we're better TO sing no
hymns at all than to sing trash.

ERROR EASILY TO BE SEEN
Miner Went at Once to the Root Of
the Trouble, as He Had II
Sized Up.

A miner. who was proud of his boys
attainments at school, one evening
picked up a home lesson book and
read from 1t quotation which ran
like this: Some books should be tast-
ed, some swallowed, and some chewed
and igested.-Bacon." Turning to
his boy, he said
What's this. sonnie? Thou doesn't
eat books at school, does tha? know
you are very clever, but you cannot do
those nanny-goat tricks, I'm sure. I'll
warrant that'll be one of those print
er's errors, sonnie."

aphorically speaking, we eat books"
Now, you cannot fool me like that"
said the father. 81 didn't go to school
very long, but ken that's one of those
printers errors. Why, sonnie, can

Tomatoes Rlpenlns In February.
BY H. II. BENNETT.


The climate of the Canal Zone is
humid and typically tropical. With a
very narrow annual range in tempera-
ture, but with marked contrasts In
quantity OF rainfall, the seasons are
aptly divided into dry and rainy. The
dry season proper begins usually
about the middle OF December, al
though there are occasionally con-
siderable variation from this. Fairly
heavy precipitation sometimes occurs
in the dry season, particularly on the
Atlantic slope.
Normally the season is character
lied by cloudless skies, constant
winds, and such scanty rainfall that
many crops which made steady growth
throughout the rainy months, hasten
to maturity, practically cease to grow,
or are completely parched unless irri-
gated. The prevailing type Of corn
planted about December l usually
natures the latter part Of February.
Northern vegetables are unable to
survive the dry season, but certain
tropical species and many tropical
fruits are uninjured or only slightly
retarded in growth.
Many trees shed their leaves at this
time of the year, which corresponds to

NEARLY STARVES IN FIELD
Llneman Finds Man Who Says He
Lay Helpless for Eight
Days.

Los Angeles, Cal.-As a desert wan
derer might perish in the wastes. so
John Gramaz was slowly sinking from
starvation and exhaustion in a field
three rods from the main boulevard
between Los Angeles and Venice. How
many days he actually lay in the peril
GUS plight is undetermined. He claims
he was lost there for eight days, too
weak and sick to seek help.
By the accidental arrival Of tele-
phone lineman stringing a wire across
the field on Washington Hill, near the
boulevard, Gramaz was saved from
death. He was too weak and devital-
ICED to talk, and coherent report OF
his condition could not be obtained.
Because Of his starved condition he
could hold no nourishment, and was
sent to the County hospital for treat
ment.
Stricken on the road to Venice, Ora
maz stumbled to the side of the road,
then into a field to lie down for rest.
He became dazed and partly uncon-
scious Of the passing Of time.

the bottom OF the ocean since 1920,
when the Comte de st. Paul. an ad-
venturer OF the Vendee. banished dur
ing the revolution, was bringing It
over from America on his return from

The vessel, a three-master called the
Jeune Henri, was lost on the rocks OF

jewels were recoverey by fishermen OF
the island, but the strong box went

without success. II is now believed

benefit resulting from a vacation of

excuse for unsoundness than man
who never stole anything because he
