The department of agriculture has found that several valuable products are procurable from the cherry pits and juice now thrown away in can neries. The kernels of the seeds can be made to yield fixed and volatile oils as well as a meal suitable for cattle food, while the juice ordinarily wasted in the pitting process may be used for jelly, syrup or alcohol. It Is thought that it may be possible to manufacture very good substitute for imported almond oil. Some 1900 tons of cherry pits and l50,000 gal Ions of juice are wasted yearly at present, it is estimated An industry utilizing peach and apricot pits has become protitably established in Cali fornia.

the issue inevitably means defeat
for suffrage which will settle the ques-
