Petsai is a supplement of let
tuce recommended by the de- .
! partment of agriculture, not a ;
substitute for it. .
: Petsai can be grown through
out the whole country and at .
about half the expense of let
tuce.
1t keeps better than lettuce,
and, pound for pound, probably )
.. contains as much of the val
. liable substance for which we ;
eat lettuce. ,,
. In transit it ''holds up better ;
. than lettuce. ,
Petsai is one of the staple in
. gradients of chop suey, dish
that thousands of Americans
. have eaten and liked.
Technically petsai is not
. cabbage and the unfortunate use
of the name Chinese cabbage
. should not create prejudice
. against it.
: AS a garnlSh 1t is preferaDle
to lettuce; it retains it's crisp
I ness in flavor as well as in ap-
Z pearance.
Petsai is grown from seed, just
I as lettuce is grown. 1t attains
!. the height of u to IA inches,
I and when ready to serve it re-
!. sembles the heart of lettuce.
Apply to your scotsman for
, seed.

favor, and many who have eaten chop
suey and liked it, not knowing of what
it is composed, unwittingly have held
a brief for petsai, one of the staple in
gradients of that well-known and
much-enjoyed Chinese-American dish.
= To Americans lettuce has become
the great leaf vegetable for salads.
Throughout the year it is grown in
some part or other of the country and
shipped from great distances to our
tables. 1t is grown under square miles
of glass near the great cities and at
considerable expense for coal. 1t is
estimated that 4O,20O tons of lettuce
is grown under glass every year and
that the value of this product is
$9,64SOOO.
Petsai can be grown throughout the
whole United States. 1t possesses not
only all the good food qualities of let
tuce but also it has the advantage of
being more economically grown
about one-half the cost of lettuce-by
reason of its heavier yield. This fea-
ture alone should recommend it during
these times.

ity. Uniformity goes deeper than the
mere visible type of conformation; it
is determined by past ancestry and is
controlled by the characteristics con-
tained in the germplasm. The germ
plasm is continuous, extending from
individual to individual, and any men,
Der of the chain shows in it's visible
conformation only a few Of the pos
sible combinations. In other words,
sow may not produce offspring in type
to herself, unless her ancestors We're
of the same type. BY selecting the
sowS from one herd, it is not only pos
sible to choose animals similar in WIS.,
ible type, but they are apt to be sim
liar in dormant characteristics as well.
In buying such animals the farmer is
not purchasing separate individuals to
form so many breeding units, but rath-
er kindred individuals all parts of
single established line or type which
will blend together to form a single
breeding unit.
At best, it is impossible to choose
sOws that will produce true to type,
for as yet no line of breeding is abso-
lutely pure, but by selecting the sows
in this manner the chances for uni
formity are immeasurably increased.
Some mistakes are bound to be made
and their correction will be difficult,
but by keeping records of the breeding
stock and their produce, it will be pos
sible to dispose of undesirable indi-
viduals as their poor reproductive abil-
ity becomes known. One ideal must
always be uppermost in the breder's
mind, and the stock must constantly
approach nearer to that one ideal in or
der to make any real progress. 1t is
relatively easy to produce hogs, but to
produce uniform hogs that will build
up and advance the breed, requires
| time and constant effort.

Let us try to get rid or tho entangle-

confusion Of two distinct and there
fore separate contracts between Italy
and her allies OF tho Entente. There
was IN tho flrst place tho agreement Or

Great Britain. Franco and Russia on
September D. 1914, and Italy adhered 10

but very definite pledge OF unanimous

which peace was 10 be concluded when
the time came. There has been an al
tempt to represent this solemn and

circumstance OF Russla's collapse: the
vague argument TO that effect Is some
what similar 10 the assertion that when
one Of four indorsers OF a note OF hand
dies or goes bankrupt the other three
indorsers are at once relieved OF their
obligation.
In the second place, there is the al
legged secret treaty, concluded like the
Pact at London, but entirely indie
pendent Of the so-callcd Pact. The date
OF this secret treaty was April 26. 1915.
Italy entered the war against Austria
Hungary n little less than a month
later, on May %, 1915. The secret treaty
is not a document OF record The only
information we have as 10 its contents |
and undertakings Is contained IN the |
version given out by Trotzky after the /
overthrow OF the Kerensky regime. In |
his version, whether II Is accurate or |
