TRUE NAMES FOR VEGETABLES
Department of Agriculture Attempts
to Standardize Varieties.

With a view to standardizing all the
commercial varieties of vegetables
grown in the United States, the Depart
ment Of Agriculture. through its bureau
Of plant industry, announced today that
any one having an unknown variety of
vegetable for which correct identifica-
ton is wanted. may obtain such infor-
nation from the department. The cor
rect names of various kinds Of fruits
may also be obtained.
The Importance of naming varieties
correctly. it is stated. is not realized
until the general confusion which re-
suits to truck growers. fruit growers
and farmers from incorrect naming is
considered. In many cases one variety
Of vegetable is sold under several
names. For instance, Of three hundred
varieties of cabbage listed, there are
really not more than ten varieties The
same condition. the department saws,
prevails throughout the vegetable list
The department now has on file a care

rieties of vegetables and fruits grown Il.

Senator Shields took his seat in the

While peaceable Samuel Lock had lived
he had settled the disputes between his
wife and his son, but Samuel had been
beyond earthly peacemaking three months
now There was no arbiter, and the
neighbors had seen the son angrily take
his departure, bulging suit case in his

Chatterer Has a Pleasant
Surprise.

Chatterer the Red Squirrel, the mischief
maker of the Green Forest, had never
been more comfortable in his life No

through the Green Forest, piling the
snow in great drifts, he couldn't send so
much as one tiny shiver through the lit

right at hand was plenty to eat-corn ana

in prison. and no matter how nice q
prison may be, no one can be truly happy
there.
Chatterer's prison was a nice. roomy
cage made by Farmer Browns boy and
kept in Farmer Browns house That is
the reason Chatterer had nothing to fear
from cold, rough Brother North Mlnd:
Since he had been a prisoner Chatterer
had learned to think very differently OF
Farmer Browns boy from what he used
to think. In fact, he ana Farmer
Browns boy had become very GOOD
friends. for Farmer Browns boy was
always very gentle and always brought
him something good to eat.
HE isn't at all like what had

Chatterer came out at once. Then his
