AROUND THE CITY

besides, it wasn't like what she had
told him of the pines, with all those
awful shapes. as if the trees were
alive and trying to get at her, the
dear old pines that were as safe as

While she was blowing herself into
a cyclone, the friend she had gone to
studied the poster:

Trees that might have come out of

ready to pounce on the figure, each
distorted and colored by the fears of
her imagination. And at the bottom
was printed it's title:

When the anathema had reached a
sizzling point the friend administered
a dose of the advice all of US keep

Acids, Bases and

You know that when you taste such
L things as vinegar and lemon you
shiver at their tartness. That is be-
cause they are acids. In the world
of chemistry there are certain sub
stances called acids and certain op-
posite substances called bases. Acids

The one to throw all his sticks
away first wins the game. One may
tire hopping continuously on one
foot, so it is permissible to change
feet, provided one does not have both
feet on the ground at any time dur

This is fine game for training you

HARVEST HEAD LETTUCE IN
COOL OF THE MORNING
Il. 4. MeGinty. in Bulletin 2s3. Head

Il. A. MeGmty. in Bulletin 2s3, Head
Leltuc, in Colorado.
Harvesting head lettuce should be
done in the morning when the heads
are cool and crisp. but according 10
California authorities the heads should
not be cut Will. wet or when frozen.
n they are then much morc suscepti-
bic 10 subsequent heat or rot.
II Is necessary 20 go over the field
about three times in harvesting the
crop. SO that the lettuce may be cut
A. soon a. II Is ready. Prompt cut
ting Of matured heads is important
during warm weather, but after the
days become cool. cutting may be de-
layed somewhat, if necessary.
The plants are cut Just below the
head in such a way that all the leaves
are left intact One who is expert
eneed in harvesting lettuce can tell
at glance what heads are ready to
cut. The heads are put into the field
crates as soon as cut with the bottom
of the heads up, and should be taken
TO the packing shed at once. Every
thing possible should be done to keep
the heads cool and prevent whiting by
sun and wind. Putting crates in the
shade as soon as filled or covering
with canvas will be Of advantage in
this particular.
At the packing shed the lettuce is
trimmed, graded and packed into
crates which are at once loaded into
refrigerator cars The standard crate
used in Colorado is what is known as
the Los Angeles crate and measures
l3xlsx24 inches. The crate is lined
with parafin paper and the heads
packed two to four or even five dozen
to the crate, depending upon the size
of the heads. Crushed ice is placed
between the layers of heads in the
crate, about 80 or 40 pounds being
used for this purpose.
