one side wall to the other, standing
on end. After placing the six sacks
on end as above described, draw the
top ends of the two sacks near the
center, together, or nearly so. This
leaves a space resembling an inverted
V running the entire length of the
car for air circulation. On top of
these sacks standing on end, load
three sacks wide laying them fat
on top of these sacks standing on end.
Pace two sacks on the sides flush
against the side of the car. This will
prevent jostllng sideways while In
transit. Then by opening the vents
on top of the car with notation on
bill of lading that car. is to have stan
dard ventilation there is no reason
why stock should not arrive in good
condition at destination, and believe
1t will as l have practiced this man
mer of loading for a number of years
and at this time of the season and
1t las proven successful. There are
other ways and methods. which, no
doubt, are equally as good. receiv-
ed a few days ago car from Bur
ley, Idaho, shipped by Mr.. Haxby,
of the Farmers Society Of Equity, OF
that place and / must say that 1t
1t was one of the best loaded cars
have received this season. And 1t
came through in splendid condition
and was sold promptly on arrival at
cents above the ruling price for that
day. His method of loading was as
follows: One row Of sacks on end
along each side of the car the full
length of the car. Two sacks lying
fiat crossways Of the car. This left
a space of about six inches right thru
the center of the car ane gave
splendid ventilation. The space left
in the center was not wide enough
so that the swing of the car in tran
sit threw the spuds off the tiers.
was very much pleased with the way
of loading as it did the work we'll
and was easy to accomplish. He had
used good stock and HAD graded &C.
cording to the suggestions made by
ton as to No. l grade. He had used
Equity branded sacks and 1t made just
about as attractive a car OF spuds as
have seen in many years. The
party who purchased the car called
me up today by phone and stated he
had very particular customer who

had car similar to the one sold
him few days ago in Equity brand

merely advising you of these facts
% show that no matter what the con

demand is, for inferior graded, sacked

some of these very particular custo-
ners who are looking for something
Just little better than the.r compel

willing to pay the very outside mar
ket price and in many instances will
pay few cents Of a premium, in Or
der to get what suits their trade.
The time to nurse the trade and
become established in the markets is
in the very beginning of the shipping
season. 1t is an easy matter and will
be especially this year to work off
inferior stock later on, arer stock |
