freezing does not injure the cabbage,
the covering of the pit need not be as

Another good method of storing cab
bage is illustrated in hS--re /. The
plants are pulled, roots and all, and
set side by side with the roots down In
a shallow trench. the length Of which
corresponds to the width of the bed.
The bed may be any width up to 8 or
10 feet and as long as necessary to
hold the number of cabbages to be
stored. Cover the roots with earth.
Around the bed erect a frame Of rails,
boards or poles, or by driving row Of
stakes into the ground so that an In
closure about two feet In height Is
formed. Bank the outside Of this frame
with dirt and place poles across the
top, covering them with straw, hay or

THE GALVESTON SEA WALL.

GALVESTON has the finest harbor
" on the gulf coast and ranks high
as a city of delightful homes. Although
not resort, the semitropical climate
attracts thousands Of tourists annual
iyto her long, gradually sloping beach.
To prevent recurrence Of the ter
rible flood of 1900, the sea wall-one
Of the sights Of the country-was con-
structed along the gulf side Of the
city. This great wall is 22,403 feet
long. II feet high, 16 feet wide at the
bottom and FIVE feet wide on top. It
is built of concrete and granite and
rests on foundation of pillng. These
piles are 40 feet long, not less than II
inches In diameter at the small end
four rows wide, set four feet apart
The top Of the wall is used for walk.
To prevent water from the gulf
flowing behind the w0ll and flooding
the city during severe storms, the
grade Of large portion of the city
was raised from to II feet. This ne
cessitated the raising of about $500
buildings and the readJustment Of
streets, sidewalks, street car tracks
electric lights, water and gas pipes to
the new level.
The filling-in material was taken
from the bay. The dredges, after
pumping their holds full, steamed up
a canal behind the wall and discharged
their load through pipe lines leading
down the various streets. When the
work was completed the canal was
filled. The magnitude Of this under
taking Is unparalleledsin America.

Il am advised that the total of the

BUSHEL MEASURE
MOST PRACTICAL
People Of Forty Different States
Favor 1t as Being Most
Definite Unit. -
SACKS ARE TOO INDEFINITE
Weights Per BusheI as Used by United
States Department Of Agriculture
In All Estimates Of Crop
Production.

prepared By the United States Depart
ment OF Asriculture)
Many growers, particularly In the
territory where field seeds and crops
are sold commonly by the sack, ask
why the United States department Of
agriculture estimates crop production
by bushel measure instead of by sack
or hundredweight. The reason is that
100000 people In 40 states of the
Union think, talk and measure by
bushels, the bushel being the standard
unit Of measure throughout this area.
The bushel measure is definite, and
congress and the states have stabilized
1t and specified the number of pounds
Of different commodities legally con-
shutting a bushel. The census figures
Of crop production have all been re-
duced to bushels for all commodities
for which legal weights have been
used and doubtless will be used until
q different unit of measure has been
adopted.
Sacks Not Standard.
A sack-the unit Of measure In some
sections-is not definite and cannot be
made so, except by legal enactment,
standardizing the volume and then, in
turn, standardizing the weight per
volume for the different commodities.
Oranges and apples are thought about
and talked about In boxes, dried fruits
in pounds or tons, and 1t Is doubtful II
custom will permit Of a material
change. In handling green fruits In
large quantities the ton Is the most
practical unit of measure, but for
small quantities the lug box is In gen.
eral use. AS the lug box varies In size
from 30 to 40 and 80 to 90 pounds,
there is more or less confusion unless
market quotations are made on the
basis of lug boxes of specific sizes.

and vegetables. II the bulk handling
of grain becomes general, as now
seems likely. the sack will disappear,
and the central or bushel will take Its
place.
BusheI Weights Used.
The following weights per bushel
are used by the United States depart
ment Of agriculture In all estimates Of
crop production:
Apples, 48 pounds; beans (driesl), 60
pounds; clover seed, 90 pounds; corn
(shelled), SO pounds; corn on cob, 20
