One OF the reasons that many peo-
pie have to great extent cut vege-
tables from their diet is that they have
been unable to get fresh vegetables
and and did not relish stale ones The
individual home vegetable garden
planted either in the backyard, or a
convenient piece of land, not only
solves the problem of supplying the
family with vegetables at low cost
and in abundance, but guarantees their
freshness.

The public generally is familiar
with the preparation of income tax
returns and it is not necessary this
year to give publicity to instruc-
lions, as was the case in past
years, according to Division Chief
T. ]. Cavanaugh. The present
drive is proceeding smoothly under
the guidance of skilled tax experts,
much of the confusion of former
years being noticeable by its alb
sence. Many who are subject to
the tax regulations have taken ad-
vantage Of the early days TO get the
matter off their minds. At the pres
ent rate no last minute difficulties
are anticipated. ..

Wsshinstpn. - Predictions that
tho Colombian harry. discovered in
. hitherto unexplored forest re-
gion Of the South American repub-
lie. for which it w1s named, would
revolutionixe the American berry
industry IN the same way that the
naval orange, also Of South Amer
lean origin. marked m epoch IN
the history Of citrus growing. are
made by officials OF the department
Of agriculture.
Extensive experiments with the
giant blackberry, described by ex-
plorers OF the agriculture depart
ment as four times the size Of the
American variety, have been begun
by the division Of foreign seed and
plant introduction, which plans 10
distribute the new discovery to
farmers after determining in what
climates it will grow best.
In q report to ofiicials here, WIZ
son Popence, an agricultural ex-
plorer who was sent to Colombia
to Investigate the discovery of the
new berry by DR.. Frank NJ. Chap
mad Of the American Museum Of
Natural History, declares that only
the extreme isolation Of the region
where the giant grows in profusion
could account for the fact that il
had not long since been given 10
the horticultural world. Plants
and seeds thus far introduced to
this country were brought by Mr.
Popence from Ell Penon, between
Sibate and Fusagasuga. in the de-
partment Of Cundinamarca, where
the plant is said to be found in
greatest abundance.
As yet experimenters are uncer.
tain whether the berry can bt
transplanted to this country with
out loss of some Of its native char
acteristics. because of the pecu
liar climate Of the region wher'
it was found.
While the plant grows in Colon
bia at an elevation of 10000 o.
more feet, it is said to be improD
able that it could survive at SINH
lar elevations here or in the noun
|tainous regions of lower Soutl
America. The climate of the Col
ombian mountains is tempered b.
their nearness to the equator.
i Attempts to cultivate the nev
berry in North America are ex
pected to be most successful i
