RULING DUE ON GRAPE BASKETS.
Railroad Commission Will Favor Ship

Railroad Commission Will Favor Ship
pers in Coming Opinion.
Des MONIES, Aug. 2o.-The state rail-
road commission in few days Will
announce decision in the grape bas-
ket controversy which will favor the
shippers. The form of the ruling has
been prepared and is being signed by
the commissioners.
The ruling will direct railroads to
accept shipments of grape baskets as
in the past, not requiring that the
name of the consignor be marked on
ing last March that each grape bas-
ket must be marked When the case
was called by the commission they
failed to show that the old way of
schipping had caused the roads any
losses. The shippers stated that they
had not been putting in claims for
damages on grapes. The grape sea-
son will be on in earnest in few
days and the ruling will be oppor-
tune.
The Des Moines commission men
were active in presenting the matter
to the state commission. They as
serted that it would cost them $4,000
year in extra labor to mark all of
the grape baskets shipped. The ship
pers also won in the contest with the
roads over the Grating Of water
melons.
However, it is specified in the
grape basket ruling that this Is not
to be construed as a precedent and
that shippers are not to become care
less in the shipping Of other articles
of the same class and appearance.

ONE VARIETY BEST.

There are many advantages 20 bu
derived from growing a single variety
! CT given cereal in auy particular
community. There are climatic and
economic factors which may make It
desirable or even necessary to grow
more than one variety of ce.eal. as,
Tor instance. spring and winter
wheat. on single arm. This phase
may be neglected here in order to
place heavy emphasis on the opposite
aspect.
One of the comnG nest observations
Is the mixture Of varieties. These
mixtures greatly reduce the va.ue Of
the crop for seed purposes, aysn II
they do not cause lowering of the
market grade. They entail loss
through nonuniformity III rlpening and
differences in length and strength Of
straw. disease.reslstance, adaptabll,ty
to soil types and climatic conditions,
and other similar characters.
Two points shout be held in mind.
First. mixtures are Fundamentally
wrong. Most growers will not be able
to- distinguish between the mixtures
which may not cause loss and those
which will. Secondly. no investigator
can predetermine when. in an appar.

P,ucHor AND PERKINS

1t would seem as if the Pro-
gressiye party was already SUI
ficiently moribund but the Pinch
ot-Perkins row promises to split
what remains of it aSunder. Amos
Pinchot's indictment of George w.
Perkins is complete and convinc-
ing and must strike home with
all genuinely sincere Progress
sivcs. Mr.. Pinchot labels Mr.. Per-
kins as ''monopoly's most ardent
supporter" and lone OF the most
distinguished opponents of social
and industrial Justice that our
generation has produced and
cites the facts to prove it. To put
the Progressive banner in such
hands is, as Mr.. Pinchot COM
plains, highly and destructively
ridiculous" and "a fraud on the
public
Mr.. pinchot. however, mini
mics the potency of the Perkins
checkbook. When it comes to the
parting ways between Perkins
and Principle. most of the So
called Progressives will choose
Perkins. Among this number is
Theodore Roosevelt. For Mr..
Pinchot and other sincere Pro-
gressivcs there is a haven in the
Democratic party. That is where
they belong and where they will
eventually flock. because it is the
only genuinely progressive party
in this country.

HAMMOND DOMINATED

For the first few days after the
primary elections in Minnesota
it seemed that Lawler had
d e ted Congressman Ham
mond for the Democratic
nomination for Governor of that
state. but as later returns came
in it was found that Hammond
had several hundred the best of
Lawler.
Hammond's nomination means
that the Democrats will have a
good fighting chance to carry next
falls election. He is a much bet
ter man than Lawler, his oppOn-
ent in the primary, and also a
better man than Lee, his oppon
ent in the fall election. With the
Republicans of Minnesota split
into warning factions Hammond
election in the fall is something
more than a possibility.
Hammond is a good clean man,
and an able one. The fact that he
was elected to Congress in Il

DUTIES OF COUNTY AGENTS
He Is Not a Mere Adviser" but a
Field Secretary to Encourage
Community Of Action.

County agricultural agents are some.
times referred to as county advisers"
This implies a misunderstanding of
the real work of the agent. Advisory
work is part of the agents duties,
but is minor part. The county agri.
cultural agent has about half. dozen
principal functions:
ID He studies the agriculture of
the county to learn what is being done
and what is worth while agricultur.
ally in each part of it. This study
includes farm financial and organiza.
ton surveys.
(2) He gives the results of his
studtes to farmers, not in the way of
advice. but as facts observed and con.
clusions drawn. This is done through
the local press, lectures, Institutes,
circulars, short courses, and personal
interview.
(S) Based on these local studies
and the ascertained needs of tha
county, clubs, associations, and the
like are organized and the individuals
solicited to undertake definite lines OF
agricultural improvement on their own
farms. Organizations are also formed

existing agricultural agencies within
the county. so that all may work

of an entire comfy is so stupendous
that the agent must be primarily an
administrator. He must inspire and

ONE KIND OF BARLEY
The Benefit of Establishing the Variety
Best Adapted to Soil and Climate.

The barley crop is grown for two
chief purposes. namely. feeding and
mailing. For feeding. the grades and
market price are based largely on the
physical qualities of cleaness and
soundness. For brewing purposes.
however. the trade requires also uni.
formity of termination and endos-
perm reduction. Different varieties
chow marked differences in the rapid.
ity and efficiency of termination and
consequent decomposition of the
starch endosperm. These properties
depend very largely on the shape and
size of the kernel. Two varieties may
have the same mailing ability in the
end, that is, the power to produce the
same quantities Of digested starch to
the pound of original matter, and yet
be Of much decreased value when
mixed, due to the different times re-.
CURED for complete endosperm reduc.
tion and the necessity of waiting for
the slower one.
If such is the case with different
varieties having the same ultimate
mailing efficiency. how much more is
1t true where one of the varieties in
a mixture has low efficiency due to
the undesirable shape of the kernels
Such admixture may result from in.
dividual carelessness on a single farm
and yet the mixed seed contaminate
the purer products of the entire com.
munity at the elevator. Only commun.
ity action can insure safety.
1t is very important to barley grow.
ers, therefore. to produce not only q
good variety for the purpose intended.
but also only single variety in a
given locality in order that the com.
munity product may be pure and uni.
form and thus be able to command
the highest price paid. The extensive
and almost exclusive growing of the
Oderbrucker variety in Wisconsin by
the members Of the Wisconsin exper.
mental association is an excellent II.
lustration of organized cooperative
effort in behalf of single profitable
variety of field crop.
