Putting FrillS On
The Goldfish

Though people make so much com
PLANT about the high cos of living,
they evince a marked willingness 10
pay extra prices for fancy food pro-
ducts. Thus at the present time there
is d large increasing demand for "ab-
solutely homeless" Goldfish, which is
put up in the shape of attractive
bricks.
The fishes used for this purpose,
after their backbones have been Gus
out, pass into the hands of bone
pickers," who use specially designed
forcepts TO remove the ribs and any
small scraps of bone that may be left.
Then they are cut into pieces by girls
who weigh them out into portions OF
exactly one pouad or two pounds.
TWO frst-rate slices are used for the
TOP and bottom of the brick, while
Snort and narrow strips serve for the
middle part. This arrangement is
made while inserting the pieces in iron
molds, which thereupon are pressed
tight by foot power, the cake thus
formed being finally done up in par
raffn paper and a labeled wrapper.
The best pieces left over are sem

often part with their collection of gems
in exchange for mere trifes, particr-

Slowly the shadows of the evening
fell around them and the evening
breeze began to gently sway the tree
tops.
Come, will pick you rose," said
the good woman, trying to hide the
tears that were falling from her eyes,
''for l know you love roses" Then
she and the little princess and the
pet monkey turned from the roadway
into the little gate in the fence and
entered the garden. A narrow pebbly
path wound in and out among the
flower beds, SO they went in single
file towards the three beautiful roses.
"Is it not lovely?" asked the good wo.
man, leaning over the nearest rose
And with a sudden movement she
leaned over and kissed the beautiful
flower, while her tears fell upon the
trembling petals. But before she had
time to pluck it from the bush it
turned into one of her children. With
glad cry the child threw its arms
about the mothers neck, promising
again and again never to be disobedi-
ent again. But the good woman could
hardly wait to give kiss in return,
so anxious was she to press her anx
ious lips against the petals of the other
two roses And they, also, turned sud
denly into the forms of her little chill
dren at the touch of the mother lips.
There was great happiness in the
small flower garden after this and the
children, after short cry and many

enc direction, while the monkey took
another. Try as they might, however,
they could find no trace of the three
children. Behind bushes and under
thickets, in the woods or the tall mea-
dow grass, they looked with care, but
finally they were forced to return to
the cottage and report to the anxious
mother that there was no trace of the
missing children.
Come in and have supper" said the
good woman. "for you both must be
hungry after your journey" So the
princess and the monkey entered the
cottage and were shown into the small
kitchen, where the table was set for
the evening meal. On one side were
three little plates, and at the sight Of
the empty chairs arranged beside the
table, the poor mother cried afresh.

The princess and the monkey fin

few minutes the good woman Joined
them, and the three strained their
eyes anxiously for a glimpse of the

Growing OF Cali
fornia Sugar Beet
Subject Discussed By De
partment Specialists

To assist sugar-beet growers in de-
Gliding upon the best farm practices
in raising a crop and determining the
cost of production, specialists of the
United States Department of Agricui-
ture have made a study of four of the
most important sugar-beet areas in the
United States. The department has
published four bulletins, one on each
of the four areas studied, giving in de
tail the results of the investigations.
The first bulletin deals with the Utah
end Idaho area. the second takes up
the work in Colorado, the third gives
the results obtained in Michigan and
Ohio, and the fourth, Bulletin $50, just
issued, discusses the practices of 165
farms in three typical sugar-beet re-
gions of California.
While the requirements of the beet
crop in terms Of value that prevailed
through 1915 and 1916 are dealt with
in the recent publication, the authors
state that when such requirements
are known the cost Of producing sugar
beets can be ascertained for any given
crop year by substituting current
rates for labor, seed, water, etc, for
those given in the bulletin. The cost
data, therefore, are valuable solel?
for purposes of comparison. While
the suggestions are directly applicable
to California districts, the authors be-
lieve that certain features relating to
increased production will be found
valuable to growers in other regions.
In two Of the California districts,
Los Angeles and Salinas ON the farms
visited more than so per cent of the
til!abIe land is utilized in growing
beets, while in the other district, OK
na~d, over one-third of the tillable land
is devoted to this crop. The average
acre yields for the three districts dur
ing the period covered by the study
Q915-16) were: Los Angeles, 14.52
tons Oxnard, 9.53 tons; Salinas, 1853
tons The cost per acre during this
period was, for the Los Angeles re.
gion, s6711; Oxnard, $54.88. and Sa'
linas. s66.45. In general, the bulletin
saws. as acreage increases acre cost
decreases, while as yield increases
acre cost increases, although cost per
ton decreases.

labor was the principal cost item in
the three districts, amounting to 30
per cent of the total cost of produc-

Public Markets
Shaped By Needs
Two Distinct Types Evolved
Attract Different Groups

In attacking the cost of living prob
lem through local public markets, COM
munities might well give heed to def
mite underlying principles that are
known to apply to such marketing in
stitutions. Unless one is familiar with
the flow Of farm produce from the
country into the market basket the dis
t,nction between farmers retail mar
ket" and farmers wholesale market"
is not drawn, but both may be called
farmers market" and pictured as
one of the same in their operation and
function.
Some communities have tried to
change farmers wholesale markets
into retail markets where the house
wife could fill her market basket with
purchases made direct from farmers
always at saving. These attempts
have usually resulted in failure and
deal of friction between the public, the
farmers, and officials because, accord
ing to city marketing men of the
Bureau of markets, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, the farmers
Wholesale market is a very different
institution from a farmers retail mar
ket.
A farmers wholesale market draws
to it producers who specialize in truck
crops and fruits, and who count on
hauling corn, potatoes, tomatoes,
apples, strawberries, or other crops in
large quantities. They desire quick
seles in large lots after they reach the
market so they can return to their
farms and the work of production.
Time to such growers is more valuable
than the difference between what they
get in wholesale quantities for. their
products and what they might realize
| BY lingering long enough to retail their
load in small lots at higher than
wholesale prices.
Retail farmers markets, on the
other hand, attract a group of pro-
ducers who raise a small amount of
fruit or vegetables as side line and
whose other crops do not demand as
close attention as those of the truck
raiser Often a farmer who raises
only a few vegetables can send them
to a retail farmers market in mixed
lots, by a member of his family who
is able to remain away from the farm
long enough to dispose of these pro-
ducts to housewives carrying market
baskets.
The retail farmers market depends
as much for its success upon location
as on any other factor 1t must be
convenient for the housewife, while
a Wholesale farmers market need not
be as centrally located, because deal
ers have wagons or trucks with which
to gather their supplies. Farmers
wholesale markets are an early morn
ing institution, starting business at
daybreak or even before, while farm
ers' retail market starts later and runs
for a longer time This, of course,
may make possible mixed retail and
wholesale farmers market; but in or
ganizing such market it is likely that
it will appeal to different groups Of
farmers, and that it will be necessary
to regulate the hours so there will be
no conflict between wholesale and re-
tail business among the wagon sheds.

ton, while the use of the land amount
ed to So per cent. The more impor-
tant factors which center into the cost
of producing sugar beets are labor, in
terest on land or rental, seed, water
taxes and insurance. While these fac
tors expressed in terms of money
values are variable, such items as
hours of man labor, hours of horse
labor, pounds of seed, hours of use Of
equipment, and amount OF fertilizers
required do not fuctuate appreciably
Beet tops are usually plowed under
il the Saminas area. They are of CON
Siderable value for fertilizing the land
the best results being obtained when
they are evenly distributed over the
field After they are cut the tops are
allowed to remain in the rows, but be-
fore the land is plowed they are scat
tered over the field with harrow, one
narrowing being sufficient Farm
llanures are used in California areas
to enrich the soil, but they are ex-
ceedingly scarce.
Deep Flowing Needed
For the successful production of an
intensive crop like the sugar beet it is
necessary to have a deep, well pre-
pared. seed bed. In regions where rain
fall is limited and occurs mainly dur
ing the winter, as in California, it is
especially desirable to practice deep
fall blowing This enables the soil to
store large quantities of water during
the rainy period and increases the
yield by facilitating the development
Of beet with long tap root On the
farms included in the study the depth
of blowing ranged from an average
of 9.5 inches in the Salinas district to
115 inches in the Oxnard district.
After the seed bed had been fur
Their prepared by rolling, narrowing
ana leveling the seeding was done
from December LIST to June list, the
time varying according to localities
Cu,tivating ranged from February Ia
to July Is, but in the Salinas district
it was practiced chiefly in May June
and July The first cultivation pre-
coded blocking and thinning. In tbs
Los Angeles and Salina areas irriga
ton is sometimes necessary, but usual
ly only one irrigation is required.
