Carrot and RadIsh Seed.

California is the largest producer Of
carrot seed. Sacramento and YOlo
counties rank first, with San Joaquin,
Contra Costa, Santa Clara and San
Benito counties ranking as minor pro-
ducers. In the production OF radish
seed the situation is reversed, the
coast counties Of California producing
the bulk of the crop. and the river
district being unimportant as pro-
ducer. It is also grown in the Pacific
Northwest. Beet seed is grown In
both the river and coast districts OF
California. but Is probably grown more
extensively around Sacramento than
In any other portion Of the state. Let
tuce seed is grown almost exclusively
near the coast sections Of California.

possession

In the hunt for new sources of leath-
or strange things are turning up. 1t
hos been ascertained that the skins OF
frogs and toads can be tanned and
turned TO account for card cases ana
other fancy articles. The government
fisheries bureau says the skin OF the
goldfish furnishes an excellent leather,

The same is true of salmon skin. Eel
skins are employed in Europe for bind
ing books, and in Egypt shoe soles are
made from the skins of certain fishes
caught in the Red sea. Sturgeon skin
affords a handsome ornamental leath-
