Vegetables Keep sre<h
With Tops Removed.

Succulent vegetables. such as rad
ishes, carrots, beets, spring onions
and turnips. should be topped"
while in the field. to prevent with
ering and to keep them firm and
fresh for marketing.
This is the conclusion OF L. B.
Rhodes, OF the North Carolina De-
partment OF Agriculture, Raleigh, y.
c., who recently read a paper on
the subject before the North Caro-
lima section of the American Chem
ical Society.
TT is generally known that all
growing plants continually give up
moisture to the air from the leaves
by evaporation the phenomenon OF
Transportation" said Mr. Rhodes 1T
seems to have never been recognized
that Transportation would increase
the whiting OF root vegetables Ac-
cording to the following explanation
this would seem plausible.
while the plant is in the ground.
the soil through which the rootlets
supplies evaporation losses. when
pulled up, Transportation continues.
the moisture being supplied through
the root as usual. The root. as for
instance root vegetables being un-
able to replenish the supply, willis
as the moisture streams up TO the
leaves.
In order to find out just the ef-
feet OF tops on vegetables as car
-ots. radishes, etc. a series OF er-
periments was made. Vegetables OF
the same size and variety were
matched by twos. From one the top
was removed: otherwise the pairs
were exposed for different periods
of time under like conditions; after
which the moisture content Of each
was ascertained
1t was discovered that by re-
moving the top the time the veee-
table would invariably remain firm
and marketable. under ordinary
conditions, was practically doubled;
while those exposed with tops on
rapidly withered in comparison.
These tests were made on radishes,
carrots, beets, spring onions and
turnips, all OF which showed more
marked whiting with tops on. Any
cause. as sprinkling. that tends to
preserve the tops increased the wilt
Ing at the root. 1t is practically GER
tain that other root vegetables
would behave slmfiarly The diff
ference In the per cent Of moisture
after exposure OF any pair exam
ined, varied from 90 up to ass per
cent. This effect can be easily
demonstrated by any one. without
the facilities OF a chemical labor
story.
From these experiments the
conclusions follow: Tops Of root
vegetables should be remved in the
field. The vegetables would remain
marketable and hence could be
shipped further. Space and expense
would be saved in shipping. They
would be of superior quality, nrm
and containing the soluble mineral
matter as when pulled. Valuable
fertilizing constituents In the tops
would be returned to the soil. II Is
no exaggerstion to say that were
this practice followed Thousands Of
dollars would be saved TO those
who handle the products"

BEES SOLVE PROBLEM.

To the Friend People:
One OF my friends told that bees had solved
great mathematical problem in the making of
their honeycombs. Is this true7 l. c.
Yes. bees have solved the question OF using
the minimum amount of for the maximum
capacity contained in the honeycomb. II the
combs were any taller in proportion to their
width or length. more wax would be used and
less honey space would be gained This is a
problem that mathematicians solve in calculus.
