Many of our citizens have planted
potatoes, peas, onions, lettuce and
beets in their gardens. The cold cas-
terly winds which have prevailed for
a week past make them fearful that
the seeds planted will not germinate
but will rot.
Broccoli, or Italian greens, which
have been grown in quantities this
year by some of our farmers, seems
to be profitable crop to produce.
The New York markets have been
good. Those of our farmers who
were fortunate enough to plant these
greens have made some money.
Is it possible that the disturbance
in China will lead our country to en-
gage in another great war? We
hope not, for it would mean the sac
rifice of the lives of our young men,
and the expenditure of millions of
money. We have already had one
warning to beware of the yellow
peril.
Is it possible that after we have
spent many millions of money in
trying to convert and educate the
vast hOrdes of China to be good, that
we must commence at the beginning
and do the whole work over again?
1t looks that way. The heather
Chinese is an uncertain quantity.
