SOMETHING WRONG

If you've lost your zest for Christmas
Lost your love for all it's cheer
If you scott at gifts and giving
AS the Christmas time draws near
When Old Santa trims his tree
Tell me, please, what is the matter?
Something's wrong, it seems to me
If the stocking by the hearthstone
Wakes no memory in your breast
If the coming of Old Santa
After all have gone to rest
Does not rouse your heart to action
Make it beat and throb and kick
Answer for my satisfaction,
Are you sure you are not sick?
If you can't feel JOY at Christmas,
Joy of life and joy Of song
If you can't rejoice in giving,
Whether it be right or wrong
If the Yule-log's invitation
To your heart no cheer can give,
Let me ask how in creation
Is it worth your while to live?

EXTENDING MARKETING ASSIST

The development during the last fis-
cal year of a more extensive and
more highly perfected demonstration
market news service for perishable
fruits and vegetables and the perfor-
nance of work preliminary to begin
ming a similar service for live stock
and meats are described in the annual
report of the office of markets and
rural organization of the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture, which has just
been published. The news service for
perishable foods and vegetables, es-
tablished for four products in 1915,
was extended to include a number of
new crops, an additional number Of
stations in producing territory, and an
increased number of permanent off
ces In market centers. The service
has reached a much larger number of
persons than during the preceding
year and has, according to reports,

ganizations to plan selling campaigns
intelligently; in promoting better un-
derstanding among growers, shippers,
commission merchants, and consum
ers, and in facilitating efficient mar
keting operations in other ways.
The office has continued its studies
of market grades and Standards for
various farm products.
Investigations into the reasons for
the economic loss of foodstuffs in
transit are being continued, and possi-
BILE methods Of Improvement are be-
ing studied. Cooperation between
shippers and carriers with a view to
reducing loss has been stimulated in
various instances. Experimental
shipments of yarious products origi-
mating on the farm, aggregating nearly
$4,000 pounds, were made by parcel
post during the year. Results from
these and earlier shipments according
to the report, indicate that it is phys
ically possible to ship almost any
commodity by parcel post when it is
properly packed and handled. The
experiments have shown also, howev-
er, that comparative returns from 9th
er marketing methods must be consid-
cred and that it is essential for sue
cess in parcel-post marketing for ship
pers to grade and standardize their
products and to use suitable contain
ers.
Rural organization investigations of
the office resulted in the collection of
data on the costs and sources Of farm
loans, loans to farmers by merchants
in the south, farmers mutual insur-
ance companies and rural telephone
companies. Intensive rural surveys
