TRUCK CROPS TO THE FRONT.

That the American diet is becom-
ing more and more diversified is in
Dictated by the enormous increase in
the production of vegetables during
the past three or four years. These
crops, according to the United States
Department of Agriculture had a
gross value of 313 million dollars in
1924-an increase of 81 per cent
over 1921. Over 100000 acres
are now devoted to the growing of
such crops as tomatoes, early Irish
potatoes, Strawberries, cantaloupes,
green peas, onions, lettuce, celery,
cabbage, asparagus, cucumbers, snap
beans, watermelons, sweet corn,
spinach, peppers, cauliflower, car
srots,vweggRlaut and number of
others.
The development of the canning
industry and the improvement of
cold storage, transportation and
marketing facilities have made pos
sible this improvement in the diet
which is so important to the helath of
the people-especially of those who
are forced to live in congested CEN
ters Of population.
Truck crops, grown for sale, are a
product of an intensive agriculture
They require much skilled labor,
careful attention during the growing
season and on most soils the use of
rather heavy applications of COM
mercial fertilizer. In fact it does
not usually pay to put so much labor
into these crops without using plenty
of fertilizer to insure profitable
yields.

He beheld her eyes and the
pouted lips. He moved toward them,
smiling. He put his arms about her.
For a moment she was awed by his
look and the tremulous nearness,
that she closed her eyes, and with
a gentle, almost imperceptible move
ment, averted her face. 1t gave
him a sharp, piercing hurt. He
said to himself, witheringly: "She
doesn't care for me-"
She repeated In a soft. strained
voice: But you don't mean to help
me?"
"Yes-I will help you in this, or
IN anything" He was impatient
now to be alone. He was shaken
and afraid that she might notice.
For this was inconceivable. He
had had an idea she did care. What
gave him that? What had made him
SO sure?
He ratified the gears and swore
softly to himself when they balked.
