SOURCE OF VEGETABLE SEEDS
Many Kinds Cannot Be Grown In This
Country.

Many Kinds Cannot Be Grown In This
Country.
For years enormous quantities of Ger
tain kinds of vegetable seeds have been
produced in this country. different
kinds in different sections, and have
given as good crops as any that could
be imported. A writer in Farm and
Home points out, however, that other
kinds have seldom proved of good quail
ity when grown here. That is especial
ly true of celery seed Considerable
celery seed is grown in California, but
it cannot be compared with that which
comes from France.
Much carrot, radish and beet seed
comes from France. These seeds are
produced In California, too, but it is a
curious fact that the remarkable vital
ity shown by California seeds is con-
sidered by many growers to be dis
advantage, especially in the case Of
root crops, for the tops grow with
great luxuriance at the expense Of the
roots. A considerable amount of car
rot seed Is grown in eastern Massa-
chusetts, mostly in the towns Of Dan
vers and Middleton. This seed sells for
SIS pound and gives excellent crops.
Nearly all Of the cauliaower seed
used in this country comes from Den
mark, and the best is expensive, cost.
ing up to $40 pound. The best is
none too good, however, and many fail
ures in growing caulihower are due
solely to the fact that cheap seed Is
used. It may not be worth while try
ing to grow caunflower seed in this
country, but farmers and market gar
deners often find It to their advantage
to save their own carrot, beet, onion,
corn, pea, bean, cucumber and melon
seed. In the middle west and in Mich
gan 1t is very common practice for
seed dealers to contract with farmers
for the growing Of seed crops. Over
5000 acres are devoted to the growing
Of vegetable seeds for one company In
Michigan, thousand acres being given
over to cucumbers alone. One Phila-
delphia concern is said to have ar
ranged to buy the products of 10000
acres in a single season. Although
Michigan is famous for it's cucumbers,
considerable number are raised in
Massachusetts,. Large quantities of
sweet corn and squash seeds are pro
dueed in New England. .~

Ever Scheduled Now Being Perfected
by the American Railway AssOcla.
tlOn at Request Of the United
States Government.

Plans for the largest troop move
ment ever scheduled In the history OF
this country are now being perfected
by the American Railway Association
at the request OF the United States
Government. Altogether, 687 900 men
will have to be transported to the var
ious contonments that the Govern
ment Is building to house the new Ma
ton Army. The movement will start
September 9Th. Between that date
and September 9th the railroads will
complete the entertainment Of 100000
men, or approximately 80 per cent OF
the total number scheduled to be
moved to the various training camps.
1t is expected that a second move
ment of approximately 100000 men
will begin on September 10Th, continu-
ing for four days thereafter, and a
third movement Of the same size on
October 3rd.
Some conception Of the magnitude
Of the task confronting the American
Railway Association in preparing
schedules that will assure the safe
and prompt transportation of these
armies without interfering with reg>
ular traffic may be CLEANED from the
fact that to move merely one field
army of $4,000 men requires 1929 cars
made up in 366 trains with as many
locomotives and train crews.

over the change. They are offering all

has been Il half dozen years or more
since this fashion was accepted in

The majority of these evening hats

High Shoes Worn.

Last winter many women wore low
shoes in the street throughout the

steps from limousine or taxi she is
seldom seen courting pneumonia.
Those who are on their way to after
noon functions requiring elaborate
dress generally slip on a pair of silk
CATERS which are in keeping with the
costume and may be slipped off on ar
rival at destination. There might be
some question of correctness in wear
ing these spats with crepe or chiffon
afternoon dress if kept on after the
coat was removed. Black patent after
noon pumps or slippers are worn with
stockings which match the gown.

ROAST GOOSE.
The Way Mother Used to Get That
Remarkable Flavor.

TIdVOTs
A green goose from three to four
months old is a great delicacy and is
cooked like game bird without stuff
ing. Season inside and out with salt
and pepper, put half a white onion in
side to absorb any strong taste, dredge
the outside with flour and roast in a
hot oven for about an hour. Serve
with boiled white onions and apple
sauce.
For an older goOse-and, even so, it
should not be more than year old
you may use the time honOred stufIing
of potatoes and sage. Having thor
oughly cleaned and washed the bird in
soda water, remove all the fat that can
be reached from under the skin or in
side. This may be saved and tried out
to use later for goose grease. TO make
the stufling boil for twenty minutes or
half an hour half dozen potatoes.
Peel and mash, adding to them table
spoonful of salt, a teaspoonful of pep
per, teaspoonful of powdered sage
and two tablespoonfuls of white onions
minced and fried yellow in butter Mix
these ingredients lightly together, then
bind with two tablespoonfuls of melted
butter. Season the goose on the inside
with salt.
