PROMINENT WOMAN AIDS IN MARKETS Atlanta Society Matron Turns to Unusual Job — Atlanta, July 12. (P—An Atlanta soclety woman towards whom Geor- &ia farmers looked with skepticism a few years ago but later turned for help in making money, now is an agsistant to the director of the State Bureau of Markets. Mrs Norman Sharpe, former president of the Atlanta Federation of Women's Clubs an appointee of Fugene Talmadge, State Com- missioner of Agriculture, thus has the highest position ever given a woman in the department. A few years ago Mrs. Sharpe, chairman of the market committee of the Atlanta women'’s club, ask- ed the city for space surrounding the city auditorium for a curb mar- ket in order to remedy a shortage in fresh fruits and vegetables at moderate prices. Debutante and club women drove to the country before dawn cach day to meet farmers bringing produce to the city and directed them to the curb market. As a result the second month's opera- tion showed produce eales of $75,- 000, The idea for a municipal market developed. Mrs. Sharpe and her associates persuaded the city coun- cil to appropriate $35,000 for a site and public spirited men financed the bullding, now owned by the city, “I hope to serve the farmers,” says Mrs. Sharpe, “by giving them scientific information about the cultivation of higher priced food crops, especlally those which now are being imported by the state.” She will distribute most of her information as a contributing edi- Indian Ruler in New York To Watch Polo Games New York, N.

Marsden | has changed his mind and will pre- side Wednesday over the trial of Chief of Police Burton J. Page, charged with driving an automo- bile with improper registration, he sald today.

[the bureau of standards created the NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, JULY 12, 1927, ARTIGHOKE LOONS AS A GODD CROP Govt. Barean Hopes to Stimulate Cultivation Washingt?fl—\'lsua]ulng a new farm industry, federal scientists see broad fields of Hellanthus Tuberos- us, from the Dakotas to Texas, from the headlands of Maine to Califor- nia. The prospective stock is Jerusa- lem artichoke, rich in levulose, the sweetest of sugars. “Farmers are ready,” says United States Bureau of Standards, “to launch intensive artichoke cul- tivation. Refineries are eager commercial rocess and formula. Within the next three years govern- ment laboratories likely will have lowered manufacturing costs to & competitive basts, giving world mar- kets a super-fine sugar and the American farmer a new basic crop in agriculture.” Dr. George K. Burgess, chief of the bureau of standards, considers the maufacture of levulose from the Juice of artichoke tubers an accom- plishment of extreme economic im- portance. “For thirty years,” he says, “the United States has sought favorable disposition of surplus corn and By crystallizing dextrose, American corn sugar industry. Now, it roposes to reduce the wheat jacreage by turning the Jerusalem artichoke from a common weed in- to a cash crop. “The introduction of levulose into ordinary commerce would solve one of the problems of the supplemen- tary food sources, inevitably to eb sought as the needs of steadily in- creasing national population ap- death, | proach the capacity of our agricul- many years ago, played an impor- |tural resources to supply sustenance. tant part in the Christianizing of | Habits of the artichoke are different |from those of sugar cane and sugar Pa Buzz picks a nice camping place for | beets, making it possible to utilize those sections of the country not adapted to sucrose-producing plants. “Factories in continental United States which manufacture sucrose are limited to their period of opera- tion to the short season between maturing of beets or cane and the quickly following winter. They are thus idle during the major portion of the year, making it desirable that a supplementary industry based upon the levulose-producing plants, in- crease the serviceability of these factories. “Moreover, the cane-growing re- glons of the South would benefit from a crop rotation in which the root crops of the artichoke would alternate with sugar cane.” Importance of the artichoke as a nation-wide farm crop arises from the fact that its growth is not lim- ited to any one section. It succeeds the lon any well-drained land with but slight attention. The artichoke is planted in the same way as potatoes and cultivated the same as corn. It is an extremely hardy plant. Indigenous to the upper Missis- sippl valley, the Indian cultivated it with his corn and tobacco before the white man came. As a human food the artichoke offers variation from potatoes. Reports have come to the government that diabetics can eat levulose with no harmful re- sults, As a forage crop, either as tubers or plants, the artichoke competes with maize and may find its expan- sion outside the maize region. Under favorable conditions, arti- choke yield approximately 900 bush- els, or about 2" tons per acre. Guest: Your dinners are always i such a success, Mrs. DeSmythe. How 4o you select your menus?
