Sources Of the Rail Shipped
Tomato Crop.


Washington, D. c., Aug. 3d.
Beginning early in the year and
continuing until late in the fall,
tomatoes are shipped CONNER
cially from over half of the
states of the Union. There is
probably no other perishable
vegetable commonly grown out
of doors in the United States
which appears on the market
does the tomato.
Florida, of course, with it's
location and climate, stands as
the premier tomato state and
starts the tomato movement
each year in January. The
northern states, such as New
York and Ohio, finish out the
season in October, and by the
time the movement is over,
approximately twelve thousand
cars are moved for table con-
sumption, according to a recent
survey made by the Department
Of Agriculture and published in
Bulletin No. 200, rail Ship
ments and Distribution of Fresh
Tomatoes in 1914"
Florida ships about half the
tomatoes moved $1,000 cars),
with Mississippi, New Jersey,
and Texas handling approxi-
mately 1,5OO cars apiece. The
other states grow tomatoes in
smaller quantities, but in certain
districts such as West Tennes-
see, the crop is of great local i'm
portance.
The bulletin presents figures
showing that a total of twelve
thousand cars were moved; but
this by no means represents the
entire tomato crop, since an eff
fort was made to exclude those
going to canneries and catsup
factories. When demand for to-
matoes in the markets is heavy,
it is more profitable to ship the
tomatoes which were originally
intended for the canneries, but
if the market is weak larger
quantities are offered for can
ming.
There are certain localities
where it is more profitable to
raise tomatoes for canning than
for table use. New York, Dele
ware, and Ohio put the bulk of
their production into the can.
so that the total used for this
purpose is more than that ship
ped for table lIsa
Most of the table tomatoes are
picked when green and wrapped
in paper to ripen on the way to
market in ventilated cars. Texas
for a number of years has pre-
ferred to send its crop to mar
ket picked when ripe and ship
ped in iced cars. Near many
cities large quantities of toma-
toes are shipped when fully ripe
by electric lines, trucks and
other conveyances.
The different tomato-growing
localities endeavor to raise their
crop so as not to be in compe-
tition with each other, and ev-
cry effort is made to rush the
crop to market before the local
tomatoes come in. The last of
the southern crop is frequently
wasted because it cannot sell in
competition with northern to-
matoes.
The bulletin published by the
Department of Agriculture con-
tains charts showing the ship
ping periods of the various
states, a map with the tomato
producing sections indicated,
and a list of the railroad stations
shipping tomatoes with the
amount shipped from each.

SOME HARD KNOCKS
Woman Gets Rid Of Coffee Habit"

The injurious action of coffee on the
hearts of many persons is well known
by physicians to be caused by caffeine.
This is the drug found by chemists in
coffee and tea.
A woman suffered long time with
severe heart trouble and finally her
doctor told her she must give up cof-
fee, as that was the principal cause of
the trouble. She writes:
my heart was SO weak 1t could not
do its work properly. My husband
would sometimes have to carry me
from the table, and 1t would seem that
would never breathe again.
1.-The doctor told me that coffee was
causing the weakness of my heart. He
said must stop 1t, but 1t seemed

heart. We know 1t is Postum that
helped me. The Dr. said the other
day: I never thought you would be

| Cripple Creek, Colo.-The output OF
the mines of the Cripple Creek dis

able that the valuation has never
