WHAT KEEPS PRICES DOWN? 
Inferior stocks. Too many gardeners bring 
to market vegetables, that really should 
never reach the market—poor in quality. 
Poor stuff is hard to sell, even for a low 
price. These producers of low grade veg¬ 
etables stand on the market for hours, their 
vegetables are not moving, they lose pa¬ 
tience and in the end sell to peddlers for 
whatever they can get. And they get mighty 
little. The peddlers then start on their 
routes, they cover the whole city, they sell 
to households. That kills the call for good 
stuff, for sale in the regular stores. The 
storekeeper cannot sell, because his cus¬ 
tomers are loaded with the cheap peddler’s 
stuff. What is to be done about it? Or¬ 
ganize, educate, preach quality. Grow less, 
save time, hard work and expenses, offer 
for sale only the very best. For high grade 
produce you will get good prices.

makes Minnesota Globe the longest keeping onion of ALL

PARSLEY is a vegetable with high iron content. Nothing can 
compare with iron when it comes to steadying the nerves and toning 
up the whole system. We are all in need of very steady nerves 
upon learning the amount of taxes one is compelled to pay with 
more and more and more taxes on the way. If you are nervous or 
run down eat soup, that will contain besides the usual vegetables a 
root of parsley cut up in thin slices. Soon after eating you will 
feel like one new born. Your nerves will be steady, your mind clear. 
You will be able to do some clear thinking and let us hope that 
you will ask yourself this question: Was one born to sweat blood 
in order to earn money only to be deprived of it in paying endless 
taxes?
