SolOing Problem
of Marketing the
PerishabLc Fruit

Providence. r. T.. in cooperation
with the bureau of markets Of the
United states department Of agri-
culture. is solving the problem OF
marketing perishable fruits and
vegetables. Produce dealers. truck
men, housewives, and the local
press are working together to the
common end of relieving gluts or
the market. securing TO producers
fair prices for their crops and as
suTin. housewives of reasonable
prices
The keynote of the situation, ac-
cording TO market experts here. is
adequate market-news information.
The local agent of the United
States bureau of markets complies
daily an the available information
as 10 the Various fruits and veg
ctahles offered that day ON the
wholesale farmers market. Usually
ly 500 a. Ia. on tho day before
sales are actually begun, these hg-
urcs are i'm the hands of growers.
dealers, and the press. If the fig
urCs show that the supply Is light.
the grower is instantly apprised OF
the fact and can regulate his prices
accordingly. When the supply Is
heavy. knoWlose of the market
situation enables him 10 start his
selling Il prices attractive enough
to stimulate demand and keep the
stock moving.
This system is said TO work out
SO that the truck gardeners and
"'var gardeners" of the Providence
section are receiNine an increased
average return on their crops. This
does not mean that prices are gem
orally increased TO the dealer, ouJ
rather that fair and steady price
Is maintained The grower hnds an
outlet for his entire crop, SO that he
is able 10 sell il for at least the cost
uf harvesting and marketing IN
stead of being forced 20 let il go &c
waste.
Retail dealers leaefiJ 10y the syS-
tenn since demand is created for
greater volume of products.
Womens clubs. canning clubs. and
individuals DESTROYS of fresh fruits
and vegetables know when and
where 10 secure their supplies most
adVanta -eously.

INFORMATION FOR FARMERS
AND ORCHARDISTS
BY j. Raymond Kcssler.
Practical Poultryman.

When war conditions started grain
prices soaring many farmers and
ened and began dispOsing OF their
hocks. thinking that profits were i'm
possible with the soaring price Of
feed. This brought about an over
supply on the markets. consequent
~ prices were made even lower than
usual. These conditions are chang

that the poultryman with a good
size flock Of layers this coming fall

The Polish fowls no doubt have
been used in the establishment of
some Of the French breeds. like the
Houdans and Crevecoeurs. German
paintings of barnyard scenes picture
hens with crests, which illustrate a
familiarity born of continuous assO-
citation with crested fowls.
Silver Laced Polish hens lay eX-
ceptionally well, though the eggs,
which are pearly white, are not
large. They are nOn-sitters. The
chicks are somewhat delicate at all
stages. Their crests prevent the
young fowls from seeing hawks,
cats and other enemies; thus many
losses are occasioned. Altogether
they require more care than almost
any other variety.

Using Damaged Grains.

ON most farms there are always
products such as wheat screenings.
small and defective ears of corn and
grain damaged by storm or storage
that would bring very little on the
market. but for the purpose of feed

purpose.
This brings forth another point Of

AN OPEN LETTER.

St. Martinville, La, Oct. 8, III.
Hon. Emile Vuillemot. District
Attorney, New Iberia. La.
Dear Sir: I was surely, very
much surprised, on reaching town
from my plantation Sunday even.
ing, to hear of the action you bad
taken relative to the saloonman
who had violated the Sunday Law
This, especially IN view of the
fact that you had requested me, III
the presence of DR.. ID. G. Liable,
TO write you letter stating that
the Sunday Law and the law rela.
tive to the selling of liquor TO mi.
nors, was being violated, IN the
Parish of ST. Martin, by the ga.
loon.keepers.
1t was really shock to me, to
hear that you, as District After
ney, had nolIeprosed the cases
against the Sunday Law violators
after the Grand Jury had brought
10 true bill against these vlolat-
ors of the Sunday Law, par'icu-
larly in the face of the fact that
you had specifically requested me,
in the presence of DIR. d. Z. Lab
be, to write you letter concern
ing these vlolators of the law and
your promise that, as an ofhcer,
you would. to the best of your
ability, enforce these laws. This
Is further emphasized by the let
ter written by You to the sheriff
of this parish, wherein you re-
quested him to co operate with
you 10 enforcing all violations OF
the law. and stating 10 this le'te
that if the sheriff and officers OF
the Parish of st. Martin will &C
in COL cert with you, that you, as
sworn officer of the State, Will do
your duty, no matter how uDpopu-
lar these laws may be. Now, J
cannot understand your opposi-
ton and the action you have TAX
en III these cases, when as Dis
trict Attorney you filed an lnfor.
against the poor ignorant
little devil who has violated the
Game Law-perhaps to feed
hungry family.
OF course tie public under.
stands, that it is compromise be
tween you and the higher officers
who, intend to, fine these poor uD.
lucky people for violating the
Game Law, in order to feed theil
to suspend the fine after
sentence has been passed upon
them and make them believe that
you have conferred a favor upon
them. Yours respectfully,
L. NJ. FOURNET,

Boston, Mass Oct.-A shiny
new barber equipment, bay rum
witchhazel and a female barber
are all at the service of Uncle Sam
if he wants them.
Inspired by female patriots
who are serving their country.
Mrs Sadie A Kitchen, at present

today applied for enlistment in the

but has not yet been accepted.
Her case has been referred t.
Washington for final action.
So far, no"women have been en-
listed in the Marine Corps, and
men of all trades who serve il

However, Mrs. Kitchen believes
