Lice are insects which inhabit the

Factors which favor their develop

is the one most likely to be infested.

GRADING FARM AND
GARDEN PRODUCTS
Where Work Is Done Honestly
Ready Sale and High Prices
Are Obtained.
By E. P. SANDSTEN Colorado Agri-
c,I1f1,raI COIIaoa

(By E. P. SANDSTEN, Colorado Agri-
cultural College)
Well packed and honestly graded
farm and garden produce will always
command a ready sale and higher
prices than carelessly packed and dis
honestly graded goods.
The greatest asset of the manufac-
turer is his commercial honesty, and
this honesty is evident in uniform
quality and the careful pack and dis
play of his goods. In other words, his
goods are standardized
Farm and garden produce may be of
the highest quality, but if the packing
is carelessly done, and in old and
dirty retainers, the discriminating
buyer will not buy and the producer
is forced to accept a lower price. The
practice of facing the packages with
produce of the highest quality and
then filing the remainder with infe,
rior goods, is plain dishonesty and does
much to prevent both the honest and
dishonest producer from obtaining the
market value. The producers first
aim should be to establish a reputa-
ton for his products, and when this is
accomplished more than half of the
selling problem is solved. Each pro-
Queer should have his packages la
beled with his personal label or trade
mark. This would indicate that the
producer is willing to stand behind his
goods
