WEIGHTS AND MEASURES,

! The recent session of legislature
passed several amendments to the
! Weights and Measure Law OF mater.
ial benefit to the consuming public.
Among these amendments is one
providing for the testing of all ele-
vatOr and other grain scales by the
Weight and Measure Department, of
the Dairy and Food Commission .
This work. formerly done BY the in
spectiOn bureau of the Western
Grain Dealers Association, a private
organization, was placed in the hands
of the state department as a means
of insuring fair dealing between the
farmer and buyer
The fee for testing wagon scales
was also changed. the fee OF $500 be-
ing reduced to $500.
The law now provides that pint
and quart berry boxes shall hold one
dry pint and one dry quart, respect
lively. The difference in capacity
between liquid quart and a dry
quart is 945 cubic inches. While
this difference is a small one. when
a single box of berries is considered,
a case of berries worth $500 holds
1886 per cent more or Csc worth
more than case of berries having
their capacity based on liquid meas
ure.
Dairy and Food Commissioner w.
3. Barney, reports that the forces of
the Weight ard Measure Department
are now actively engaged in checking
up the size oil berry boxes as well as.
inspecting the scales on ice wagons
to be used during the coming season.
The Department seeks the cooper.
alton of the housewife in eliminating
the short weight evil and is glad to
receive the name of any dealer sell
ing under weight. Also the names
of any hucksters found selling yege-
tables or fruits, other than berries,
by measure instead OF by weight as
required by the law.

IOWA FARM LANDS.

Iowa farm lands are going higher
than at any time in the past, accord
ing TO Grin Johnson, manager of the
loan department of the Equitable
Life.
Many influences are at work to ef
feet this result declared Mr.. John
son. In anticipation of this expect
alton people are doing the usual thing
of buying farm land now. Usually
they do their buying before the crops
are in or after they are harvested
Purchases are made long enough
ahead so that the purchaser can get
in shape for spring work
THE season has been opening fine
and giving abundant opportunity to
get In the crop early. People seem
to think that now is good time TO
buy. There seems to be a general
fear that farm lands are going to be
higher.
This belief is caused in part by
the high prices prevailing for grain
The upward movement is not alto
gether due to the war or other un-
natural influences. There is gradu.
ally appearing on the scene a type OF
man who is approaching the value of
intensive farming instead OF extern
sIYe farming. This is the man who

The shortage of potash salts in the
