Uncle Sans Scientists Hold Down the Amazing lob
of Catering to the Publics Fickle Taste in Peas,
Carrots Citrangequats.

Boswell said. "As q matter of fact
lots Of folks are taking it because
they like the taste and feer of this
splendid and wholesome green. But
consumers are wrong in assuming that
broccoli is new just because We in
this country have been eating it only
q few years. In Italy broccoli prob
ably is as old as the hills of Rome.
What We have done is to appropriate
the vegetable"
IT WOULDN'T seem possible that
styles In carrots could change very
much, but DR.. Boswell points out that
they have done so. and quite radi-
cally.
"A few years ago." he says, "the
consuming public wanted q carrot
which was blunt and stubby in shape.
And blunt and stubby carrots they
got. All of a sudden blunt and stubby
carrots were as out Of date as a three
year-old straw hat. Slim, tapered,
aristocratic looking carrots held the
fashion spotlight, and do today.
''The producer of foodstuffs must
keep up with fashions just as the
milliner does. II he doesn't he finds
q slackened demand for his wares.
In other words, II the public decides
1t wants slim carrots and doesn't
get slim carrots some other vegetable
steps in, just Is another milliner
steps In and gets the business when q
popular, designer forgets for 4 min
ute or two that the public wants
what it wants when it wants it-and,
If he doesn't get it, Immediately goes
some place else where it will"
So that makes quite sizeable task
and puts an entirely new face on the
business of raising vegetables and
fruits. It will be seen that success
ful truck farming today is not sim
ply = question of planting and har-
vesting and carting to market. The
producer also has to be sure his styles
are authentic or the public won't buy.
But. as pointed out, Uncle Sans
chief interest Is not 30 much the FASH
ion angle in itself as 1t is the devel-
opment Of varieties, which, in addi-
ton to giving the public what 1t
wants, will be more wholesome and
more resistant to disease.
Keen competition among growers
Evening star., 1937-10-17
Growers Must Be as Alert to Ritzv STYLES IN Ieo7es
as Millners and Haberdashers- Vary
All Over the United States

Excellent progress has been made
by the Bureau of Plant Industry in
breeding wilt-resistant varieties of
peas. particularly the large-podded
market garden and shipping sorts
New varieties Of snap beans will be
available to the public soon if strains
developed in COOPERATION with State
experiment stations bear out their fine
early promise. New varieties OF pota-
toes are available and others are in
prospect.
I'VE are experimenting with potato
types which are especially adapted for
those ever-popular adjuncts of Ameri-
can meals, potato salad and potato
chips. We know today-folks didn't
know it years ago-that certain dishes
need q potato of special characteris-
tics for best results. What we are
trying to do now Is to produce pota-
toes-and many other vegetables
which have those particular virtues.
"The task Of combining in single
strains quality and resistance to sew
eral diseases il q most difficult and
tedious one"
A new hybrid sweet corn, known as
Golden Cross Bantam, has been devel-
oped. Now the breeders are endeavor-
ing to combine with the disease resist
ant qualities Of this new variety the
added element Of earliness. Then
both consumer and producer will be
excerlently served-and . new fashion
set.
New varieties Of sweet potatoes are
being developed by Uncle Sans scien-
lists, who have introduced strains from
abroad which insure growers against
crop destruction by wilt or. blue
stem" The new varieties, 1t is pointed
out, are not quite so smooth as the
old, but are Just as good to eat.
DR. BOSWELL makes the interest,"
ing point that not only do produce
fashions change from year to year and
from decade to decade, but they vary
considerably in the different parts Of
the country. Thus, while in one Sec
ton turnip tops are eaten and the
roots often tossed aside, elsewhere the
exact opposite occurs. Somewhat the
same situation prevails with respect to
beets. In many places the roots only
are used, but In the South, for ex-
Evening star., 1937-10-17

ample, the beet greens are in equal
demand by the public.
The fact that in one section turnip
roots are desired and in another the
green's only complicates the growers
problems. In the first instance they
must develop plants with large, meaty
roots. In the second they must pro-
duce an abundance of green's, with
definitely less emphasis on the roots.
In the solution of this problem Uncle
Sam is of great assistance.
Plant breeding frequently means the
salvation Of an industry. It proved so
in the case of lettuce, which was
threatened with vast destruction by
disease. Today new varieties are
available which are resistant to brown
blight and mildew. Cantaloupes re-
sistant to mildew also have been de-
veloped, much to the satisfaction of
consumers and profit of the producers.
Literally hundreds of new kinds, va
rieties and types Of fruits have been
developed-and now are in process of
evolution-in response to the same de-
mands manifested by consumers and
producers of vegetables, it is revealed
by H. P. Gould, senior pomologist of
the Bureau of Plant Industry.
Especially interesting and important
is the work done. to supply new varie-
ties Of citrus fruits with qualities
which make them particularly appeal
ing for certain specific requirements.
There are lemons which represent
cross between lime and q lemon, re-
tanning the best features Of each. Then
there Is q new variety Of fruit, called
q 1imequat, which is a cross between
q common acid lime and q kumquat.
A MOTHER name which probably is
stranger to most persons is
"citrangequat," developed as a lime
substitute of fair quality and great
hardness for regions with Winters too
severe for growing either the limequat
or the calamondin. Still another
citrus variant is the citrangedin.
Speaking of that fruit, DR.. Gould
points out 1T has been found ac-
ceptable by soda fountains for use in
preparing 1imeade,' which can scarce
ly be distinguished from the true
limeade."

That, in effect, is what busy
housewives throughout the country
now ask of their favorite green gro
GERS when they go shopping Of =
morning. For, strange as 1t seems
there are styles and modes in edi-
bles just as there are fashions In
gowns and .millinery-and they often
change just as quickly.
Moreover, because of this fickleness
in public taste-which extends to
foodstuffs as we'll as 1t does to shoes,
neckties and the length of a skirt
science has taken the liberty Of i'm
proving on the handiwork Of Mother
Nature.
Uncle Sam, personifled by research
workers in the Federal Bureau of
Plant Industry, has had a large
hand in the big and amazing Job of
catering to the public's rapidly chang
ing demands in fruits and vegetables
But. it is emphasized, Uncle Sans
chief interest is in the development
of new varieties which not only will
satisfy the public desire for products
OF differing taste, coloring or shape
but which are definitely better and
improved in all of these respects.
And. of vital Importance to both
grower and consumer, products which
will be resistant to numerous blieht-
ing diseases.
1t Is DR.. Victor r. Boswell, senior
horticulturist, who tells the story of
changing styles in the vegetables con-
sumed on the tables Of millions of
American families and of Uncle Sans
efforts to help producers to make
available varieties which combine all
the good qualities of the older modes
with the advantages of the new.

National Forest.
DURING the early periods of Amer
ican history, this territory, in
cluding the park lands, was not only
a battlefield, but great hunting
ground for the Delaware, the Catawba
and the Shawnee Indians. The for
ests abounded in the bison, bear, deer
and other wild life, which furnished
food and clothing for these hostile
tribes. And today, as in the days Of
the red man, at sunset. the deer come
down from the highlands to drink Of
the refreshing waters at the old spring.
Here, too, in this sylvan retreat are
the native ruffed grouse. pheasant
and turkey. which are protected in
their natural habitat, and so tame are

An outstanding feature of this park

it pours out a constant stream of the
strongest sulphur water, yet so cold
is it that instead Of being disagree

OF this water, Kercheval, In his his

ing from far and near to drink of its
nvigorating and health-giving waters.
FOR the last 125 years Lost River
Park has been called by different
names, and each name has a history
all its own. The spring was first
called Howards Lick. Kercheval tells
the story of John Toward, a hunter,
who, while exploring this region, pre-
vious to the first valley settlement,
found that the sulphur spring was a
favorite watering place for deer and
often hid himself In the large oak
tree just east Of the spring to kill

time to keep tryst with the mountains
And nowhere within easy driving
distance of Washington is there a
spot more beautiful than the Lost
River State Park, in Hardy County,
West Virginia, in the foothills of the
Alleghenies.
This new park, recently opened to
the public, is one of a group of SIX
State parks in West Virginia, which is
rapidly being developed by the Civilian
Conservation Corps, under the techni-
cal supervision of the National Park
Service, in cooperation with the West
Virginia State Conservation Commits

From Tomlinson Run, in the western
panhandle of the State, nearly 200
miles southwark to Babcock, Watoga
and Hawks Nest Parks, and then
northeastward to Lost River, and to
Cacapon, in the tip of the eastern
panhandle section, stretches West Vir-
ginia's new triangular line of rest
and play areas, each with a distin-
gushing Characteristic. One of the
most interesting, both from scenic
and historic point of view, is the Lost
River Park.
Within its 1000 acres are rugged
mountains, tumbling streams, and
dancing waterfalls, craggy cliffs and
wooded valleys; and in one of its
most picturesque glens is famous old
sulphur spring, shaded by towering
virgin, white pines and oaks. Near by
Is the original Lee cabin, in its primi-
tive condition, built by Light Horse
Harry Lee Of Revolutionary fame.
New developments include sturdy
and comfortable log cabins, rustic
bridges, picnic areas, over 10 miles
OF bride and hikers' trails and trail
side shelters, With observation towers
On the mountain tops, where the view
In every direction Is enhancing.
THE park Is named for one of ma
ture's mysteries, which flows gayly
along in a southerly direction, until
it nears Wardensville,. several miles
from its source. Then it completely
disappears and flows for distance
Of three and one-half miles, resppear-
ing on the other side of the mountain.
Various scientists have studied this
phenomenon, but have never discov-
cred subterranean passage, although
1t is reasonable to uppose that the
