Vegetables FOilOlU
Strednaline Trends

Vegetables have gone along with
the modern trend of streamlining
and now appear with new shapes,
new sizes, and new varieties that
have higher quality and more uni
form size and color. Nutrition spec
ialists at Ohio State University, say
these changes have promoted a
marked increase in the consumption
of fresh vegetables.
One of the newcomers in the vege-
table fashion parade is the stringless
green bean. 1t is long, slender, and
much easier to prepare for cooking
than the old-fashioned stringbean.
Carrots and cucumbers have inn
proved shapes. The new carrot has
rounded tops, and smooth sides that
taper gradually, which make scrap
ing easier. Brighter color and less
core give carrots higher popular
ity rating. Cucumbers are more
"sylph-like" and yield more slices
because they are longer and less
pointed.
The tomato has improved quite a
bit since it was known as a "love
apple. Now it is firm and meaty
smooth, round and shiny and Is much
better for cooking or salad. The new
iceberg lettuce has a firm compact
head, and crisp, tender, curling
leaves just about the right size fol-
cups to hold salad. This lettuce
makes perfect salad by itself wher

served with dressing.
Home economics experts say eel
cry also has succumbed to the mod
ern trend. A new variety, with less
stringy fiber is being developed.
Some varieties are crisp and tender
all the way through, from the green
ish outer stalks to the heart.
Along with the new styles in
vegetables have come new ideas in
marketing. A thin coating of wax is
used on rutabagas, cucumbers, pep
pers, and egg plants to make them
look better when they reach the
market. Another sound idea is
packaging less perishable vegetables,
such as potatoes and onions, in con-
sumer-size containers, which may be
conveniently stored at home. Some
fancy vegetables are wrapped in
transparent paper.
Before the homegrown vegetable
season begins, housewives may buy
fozen foods which are packed and
frozen where grown, and shipped in
refrigerated cars. They are ready
for cooking, and come to the con-
sumer's table garden-fresh with no
loss of food values.
While refrigeration was lengthen-
ing the fresh vegetable season, nu-
tritionists were finding out about the
food values of greens. They found
greens to be important for their
calcium and iron, the greener the
leaves, the better the source of iron.
In some vegetables, as cabbage, cal
cium also Is related to the depth of
green color.

Plan Better MeadOUs
If Hay Crop Is Light

The present time, when the lack
of good meadows is most apparent
to Ohio farmers, is a fine time to
resolve to remedy this lack. Resolu-
tions made on January l make little
hay the next June.
Earl Jones, extension agronomist,
Ohio State University, says that
Ohio farmers on land use committees
have emphasized the need for apply
ing lime to soil where clover is to
be seeded but the farmers also re-
port lack of money to buy limestone.
There is one method of helping seed
ings which does not require spending
money.
A mulch of manure is very effec-
tive in getting seedlings started we'll
Where seedlings are to be made in
wheat, the manure should be applied
on the sleeper slopes and the less
productive parts of fields during the
fall and early winter.
The mulching should be continued in
the spring until all parts of the fielc
where the wheat is not likely tc
lodge have been covered. Farmers
who postpone the mulching until late
in the winter will find it impossible
to get on the field and are likely tt
have poor success with the seeding
The manure should be applied a
the rate of from four to eight load!
per acre. Results are better If tn,
mulch is applied with spreader 81

NelD Spray Will Hold
Ripe Appies On Tree

Storing apples on the tree for sew
eral days or weeks after the normal
picking date and improving the color
of the fruit appears to be made pos
sible by spray methods developed by
F. E. Gardner, United States Bureau
of Plant Industry, working at Belts
vile, Maryland.
F. H. Beach, specialist in horticul-
ture, Ohio State University, says
this experimental work has pos
sibilities of wide application when
cost for the spray materials is
brought down to practical levels.
Mr.. Gardner reports quantities of
the chemicals used as small as one
half teaspoonful to 100 gallon of
water are effective but the cost still
is too high for commercial use.
The two most effective chemicals
in preventing the normal drop of
mature fruit are naphthaleneacetic
acid and naphthaleneacetamide. Other
chemicals were tried but had less
effect in checking fruit drop.
Early Mcintosh and Red Duchess
apples sprayed at the period of rip
ening and picked from IL to 20 days
after spraying dropped an average
of only 19 per cent of their fruit, as
compared with a drop of 70.9 per
cent of the fruit on unsprayed trees.
Other tests on summer and fall
apples give equally conclusive evi-
dence of the ability of the spray to
hold fruit on the trees.
In one test, storm with high
winds occurred while a block of
trees was carrying fruit sprayed 15
days earlier. Check trees in the
block receiving no spray dropped
55.1 per cent of their fruit in the
Is days before the storm and 64.7
per cent of the remainder during the
storm. Sprayed trees lost an aver
age of 9.4 per cent of their fruit in
the Is days and 1873 of the remain
der during the storm.
The spray material may be mixed
with water alone or small amount
of oil may be added. The effects OF
the spray become most apparent five
or six days after spraying and may
continue for two weeks or longer
The most benefit in holding the fruit
on the trees is obtained when the
fruit is sprayed about the normal
picking time.
The spraying can be repeated tt
hold apples on the tree longer if this
is desirable. A Gallia Beauty tree
was sprayed seven time at weekly
intervals starting October II ane
about SO per cent of the fruit wa:
still on the tree December Z al
though temperatures were so low
in the latter part of the period tha
the final sprays probably had littl
or no effect.
| Repeated sprays of these chem
icals cause fruit to be so firmly Sc
on the tree that fruit spurs may b,
broken or the stem pulled out of tn,
apple before the stem will part at it
normal breaking point. Color is in
tensified in the apples to such an ex
tent that it must be due to SOM
effect other than the extra days o
exposure to the sun.
| Mr.. Beach repeats that this spray
ing procedure is too expensive fo
commercial use now but expects tha
manufacturers can reduce prices 70
the chemicals when enough grower
use the method to make quantit
manufacture feasible. Mr.. Gardne
is continuing the experimental wor
in an attempt to find other effectiv
compounds and better ways of apply
ing the sprays.

Vegetables are rich in vitamins.
All green vegetables, and carrots,
sweet potatoes, yellow squash, yell
low corn, and yellow turnips provide
vitamin A. These along with to-
matoes, furnish vitamin C, and most
vegetables contain some vitamin B1,
or G.
While the per capita consumption
of all vegetables has increased in
the last few years, the greatest gain
has been made by the more succulent
vegetables such as lettuce, aspar-
agus, celery, tomatoes, onions, broc-
coli, and carrots.

mendations for changes.

Need NelU Style Hogs
On Higher Lard Price

Until Ohio farmers adopt a diff
ferent style of hog, the price they
receive for hogs will be influenced to
a considerable extent by the amount
the packer can get for lard, and
lard prices in the early part of 1910
have not been encouraging to pork
producers.
A committee of people from Ohio
State University and representatives
of Ohio farmers made an investiga-
tion of the outlook for lard in the
months Immediately ahead. The
committee says % per cent of Ohio's
farm income is derived from hog
sales, lard exports have dropped
more than 80 per cent, the 1889 pig
crop was the largest in II years, and
the amount of vegetable oils used as
cooking fats since 1885 has equaled
the amount of lard used for the
same purpose.
Columbus grocery stores were adj
vertising lard at three pounds for 20
cents and two lard substitutes at
three pounds for 48 cents on the
same day. The army post at Colum-
bus bought lard for 7.25 cents
pound and lard substitutes for 8.77
cents a pound during the same
month in 1910.
A survey among city consumers
showed that about one-half use both
lard and substitutes, one-fourth use
only lard, and one-fourth use sub
stitutes only. Two-thirds of the
rural homemakers use lard only, one
fourth use both lard and substitutes,
and about per cent use only SUBJ
stitutes.
1t is reported that manufacturers
spent S2,250,000 in advertising vege-
table shortcomings in general mag
azines and over the radio in 1888.
The products have been offered to
buyers in attractive packages in con-
venient sizes. Meat packers insist
on selling lard in large containers
from which the retailer dips the
amount wanted by the buyer.
Home economics specialists say
that lard has a higher shortening
power than hydrogenated fats used
as substitutes. Lard has a flavor
and substitutes are flavorless, and
the soft fat of lard is more easily
digested than hard fats. Lard SUBJ
stitutes are affected by too high
cooking temperatures.
Out of 500 Ohio and Pennsylvania
farmers primarily interested in pork
production who were asked if they
would be willing to assess them
selves five cents per hog sold as a
fund for advertising pork, $50 re-
ported willingness to pay such an
assessment, Is were unwilling, and
25 did not decide. There are two
national associations which could
conduct an advertising campaign if
funds were available.
1t appears from the study made
by the Ohio committee that hog
raisers and meat packers now are
fiattering themselves when they cal
vegetable oils substitutes for lard
Consumers have reached the poin
where they are willing to pay con
siderably more for the substitute
than for the original product.
1t also appears that to counterac
this trend, there should be an i'm
provement in processing, packing
and packaging lard. Half of tn
domestic market for shortening an
cooking fat has been taken b
manufacturers willing to advertis
their product and package it to NEE
consumer demands. 1t is to be ex
pected they will take larger shar
of this market unless they hav
more competition from pork produc
ers and the packing industry.

No experiments made in the Corn
Belt indicate any advantage to corn
yields by plowing more than seven
inches deep. Each inch depth of
soil plowed means moving $50 tons
of soil per acre so unduly deep
plowing is real waste of power.
