OUTLOOK FOR
 CELERY CROP

Los ANGELES Shipments of eel ,ry from California for the season l9ls-17 were cut from the northern portion of the state by repeated freezes. The yield per acre was 79 crates iR 1916-17 and 130 crates in l9l5-l6- Before the freezes occurred ears averaged HOO dozen per car against 1.5OO dozen per car afterwards Besides reducing the size light freezes rendered much of the late celery in the northern portion Of the state unfit for shipment.
 Providing there is no repetition of last seasons weather, shipments will Le muck higher this year. There is an increase in acreage of 23 per cent and present prospects generally are good. The area in celery in California to be harvested the coming season follows: contra Costa county, 2,075 acres; Sac rament0 county, 967; San Joaquin county. $40; Los Angeles county. 1,200; Orange county, 200; scattering .oun- ties, 200 total acreage, 5,4S2 Includ- Eu ih sils estimate or scattering cOun- ties are small areas in Alameda, Santa Clara. Santa Cruz, Yolo, Tuba, and San Diego counties
 A few cars have been shipped from Fl Monte, Sacramento and Orange counties. The main crop north began to move from Walnut Grove October 25. Antioch November 1 and Holt No- vember l. Southern California will show light shipping for Thanksgiving but a- big volume later. A car per acre usually is considered a normal yield The standard load is 16o crates per car when celery is large, increasing to lS0 crates later in the season. It is probable that shippers will start with ls0 crates per ear this year as a result ] of the car shortage

WORLDS RICE OUTPUT

The final official forecast of the rice crop of India for the 1916-17 season based on returns from provinces that contain, 99 per cent of the total area under this cereal in British India shows an acreage of 79,700,000 which is ? per cent larger than the revised figure 7S,152 900 acres) of last year The total estimated yield is 34,079,00C long tons of cleaned rice, or per cent more than the revised figure (32,s24, 900 tons) for 1915-16. The present es- inmates of both. area and yield, says the Indian Trade Journal, are the high est on record.
 In concluding his memorandum the director of statistics of the Indian gov ernment remarks:
 From the latest information pub lished by the International Institute oi Agriculture, Rome. it appears that in Japan the total area under rice is es- tirnated at 7,540,000 acres and the yield at 7,S90,000 tons, as against 7,559,0 ,000 acres and 7,82S,000 tons last year. In the United States the total area and yI6lu are tSlIlIldleu at oI5yoDU aCIbs and S42,000 tons. as against S03,O0O acres and 5S0,0o0 tons last year. In Italy the estimates are 352, ,000 acres and 511.000 tons, as against 356,00o acres and 1000 tons last year. In Egypt the total area is estimated at 150,000 acres, as against 331,000 acres last year. The official forecast of the rice harvest in Korea (Chosen) places the crop of 1916 at 1,730.000 tons. which exceeds the yield of the preceding year by 160,000 tons, and is the highest on record. From unofficial sources it appears that in Java the crop was ad- versely affected by drought. The crop is reported to be good in the southern provinces of China. Merchants As sociation Review.

-----------k U l------------ ORIGIN OF THE GRAPE

ClNCINNATI-The grape is SUD- posed to have originated in Asia, the birthplace of man. But wherever it originated, it did not remain for it is today to be found in every country on the face of the earth. The Phoenicians brought it to Europe, it is said, first to the Grecian archipelago, and thence into Greece and Italy. The Romans adopted it, and carried it with them wheresoever they went. They left it firm rooted Tn Southern France before the birth of Christ, and it spread northward on its way of conquest.
 The grape is the first agricultural product mentioned in the laws of this country As early as 1863, Charles II offered rewards to those who would cultivate the grapes in the newly set tied colony, if indeed the colony could hesCalied settled at that time
 But grape culture in this country did not thrive for long years, and because of very simple mistake which the carly settlers made. They supposed het inasmuch as the grapevine grew Trolific in this country, the grapes of
 ~ope would thrive here. But they i'. -ed to do so. The European grape

The European grapes do we'll in Cali fornia and many of the grapes grown there are of European origin. But the grapes grown east of the Rocky mountains are every one of them from native American stock. The Cat awha. from the Catawba river in North 'arelina: the Isabella, also from North
 Srolina; the Delaware, from the Hud- s'n River country; the Concord, from tae New England wild vines. In fact. every grape which customers know. and there are many of them, came from the cultivation and propagation of American varieties.

------------C -C)---- BIGGEST POTATO CROP

H. P. Anewalt, general freight agent of the Santa F'e, says the railroads are now moving what promises to be the biggest potato crop in the history of the country. This crop it is estimated will total approximately 453 billion pushels or 90 per cent more than last year. This has been on the way since the middle of September. The move ment will continue until About April lst next year Reports received by the commission on car service indicate that even with intensive loading more than 75,O00 cars will be needed to han dle the potato crop.

 WAR GARDENS DIDN'T HURT


 Some apprehension was expressed by commercial vegetable growers last spring that the war garden" propa- ganda might do away with part of their outlet and cause lower prices, says the Kansas City Packer In spite of the fact that a 222 increase in gar den planting was made with total crop value of s35o,OO0,0O0 as estimated by the National Good Garden commis- sion, prices held up all summer as ws,. as usual and commercial growers have found the demand for their products to be equal to that of other seasons. Apparently those who grew their own vegetables would have done without had they not been produced in their own back yards.

REDUCE EGG LOSSES

WASHINGTON.-If farmers would realize that the annual value of the ccuntry's egg crop is equal to the ay- craze value of its annual wheat crop approximately $500. 900, 900 and that nearly per cent of the eggs marketed are lost through spoilage or breakage, the industry undoubtedly would be put on more businesslika basis. says a Farmers Bulletin of the United States department of agriculture, The Com- munity Egg Circle. recently reprinted. Improper handling between the farm and the market. the bulletin declares, is responsible for a large part of the loss This loss, 1t is suggested, could he greatly decreased if farmers would cooperate more generally and market their eggs through community egg circles. These organizations take care of the frequent collection and the prop CT packing and marketing of the eggs of members. attend to accounting and making collections, establish standards, encourage the raising of better breeds of poultry, the use of improved meth ods. and the production of infertile eggs.
 The bulletin tells farmers how to go about the formation of a community egg circle and prints a suggested con- stitution and bylaws for such an or sanitation. Copies of the bulletin may fe had free as long as the supply lasts. by application to the United States department of agriculture.

COLD PACK METHOD

Of the five methods of canning fruits and vegetables the National Emergen- cy Food Garden commission recom- mends the cold pack method for home canning purposes, because of it's sim plicity and effectiveness.
 A serviceabie cold pack home can ming outfit can be made of materials found in any household. All that is necessary is a vessel to hold the jars or cans-such as the wash boiler or a large tin pail. This vessel should have a tight fitting cover. Provide a false bottom of wood or a wire rack to per- init the free circulation of water under the containers. The wood bottom may be of perforated boards or laths nailed to three cross-pieces. If the boiler Is deep enough to accommodate two tiers of containers, place a rack on the top Of the lower row. to support the top tier.
 A simple method of sterilization used by some, is to place baking pan in the oven of the kitchen stove or range. Into this put a small rack or cloth and partially fill the pan with hot water Place the containers in this with their tops adjusted for use in hot water bath outfit. In this method the housewife may conserve Vegetables and fruits in the oven, while she is using the top of the stove, with economy of heat and labor.
 Expert canners who have tried all the more or less expensive outfits find that they get as good results with home made equipment. Inasmuch as the cold pack process consists mainly of subjecting the filled containers to the heat or steam of boiling water for prescribed length of time, it will be seen that any receptacle for boiling water in an enclosed place will do the work.

Each season since the outbreak of thI
european war much has ben said anC
written about scarcity of fabrics, fam.
inc in dyestuffs and higher prices or
everything, and yet none of these con-
ditions has as yet appeared noticeable
in mems furnishing goods.
Some grades of hosiery have ad-
vanced from FIVE to ten cents per pair
Collars that formerly were two for a
quarter are now fifteen cents straight
Underwear and gloves are really the
only items that are noticeably, higher
but shirts and neckwear, considered
the two most important haberdashery
items, do not show the advances that
one has been led to expect. Probably
these are higher in price, too. but be.
ing very much of the order of blind
articles, it is only the trained expert
who can detect that an advance over
former prices is being asked for the
same grade of quality.
But what is more marked is the fact
that nU- diminution of color effect lie
evident in spite of the threats of a
year ago that colors must be used
very sparingly. In truth. the very
color schemes for this season in both
shirts and neckwear show very riot
GUS and radiant display of high color
treatments.

kindred fabrics. the color schemes are
more glaring than ever. Large stripes

necessary. And every shade in the

any special color or group of colors
considered most fashionable. In a
general way we may state that laven-
der, purple, hello, blue. greens. red and
burgundy are very much shown with
combinations of almost every color
known. Nearly all patterns seen run
to perpendicular stripes of varying de-
greeS in width. CrossbarS are not
shown as prominently as last season.

Novelty Marks Styles
In Mems Apparel

OF the styles in, vogue for the spring
Iseason in mems suits and overcoats
There is no easy graduation from con-
sentative to novelty styles. The two
fashion thoughts are sharply defined
and no compromise is offered. The
garments thus far observed are either
Isedately conservative or spiritedly
unique. No half way measures have
lbeen provided for. In the class de-
fined as novelty styles are included
various conceptions in fanciful design
ing. These include the pinch back and
belted styles with minor details of at
Effectiveness that are fiagrantly indica-
tive of a trend toward distinctive or
| namentation. These garments show
pinch back effects in shirred treat
ments, inverted plat arrangements,
box plaits, yoke backs, mock belts,
half belts, detachable. and belt all
around effects. These define the nov
city styles in a general way, but the
variation in minor details are carried
| to point that is only bounded by the
inventive resources of the designers.
For instance, there Is a riotous en-
ployment Of button treatment. The
belt all around coats usually have but
ton decorations at the front and some
Of the more extreme models substitute
buckles for buttons in the attaching
arrangement. Then, also, on the half
belts, attached belts and two-piece
belts, buttons are employed. The.
half belts that are detachable have the
buttons on both side seams and other
belts are stitched on at the sides and
brought together at the center of the
back with e. button. Most of the mock
belts have no ornamentation and are
merely stitched on at the sides. A
great many of this seasons pinch back
models have no belt treatment at all
and these are classified above as to the
nature of back details, whether shirred
effects, yoke effects or plat effects.
Pockets, too, this season evidence
more novelty schemes than for many
seasons past. On some the decoration
is in the. making of the pockets such
as box or inverted plat effects and
that is distinctive. Some OF these flaps
are cut on the bias with the flap fairly
wide at one side OF the pocket and
narrowing across to q fine acute angle
at the other side. These are usually
made button-through in the middle.
There are other pockets that have
semi circular flap also buttoned
through Cuff treatments also show
conspicuous button arrangements and
novelty schemes. There are shown
several suit models with button link
effect in which the second button hole
is connected by two buttons ana
a loon in much the same manner as
the cuffs on your shirt are connected.
What, this season. we may call the
conservative styles are by no means
lacking Of distinctiveness in COM
parative sense, based on the extreme
aspect of the novelty styles.
The dominating notes in the con-
sentative styles are Of English charac-
