CAREFUL IN SHIPPING
Utmost Vigilance Urged to Pre-
vent Foods From Spelling.
Weather Reports Should Be Utilized
in Studying onditions-Shipper
Should Cooperate Closely
With Carrier.

From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
Shippers at this time should exer-
else unusual care in packing and load
ing their perishable products. They
should grade their products carefully
with reference to the degree of their
maturity and select a nearby market
for the ripened products and a distant
market for the products that will hold
up the necessary time in transit to
reach the distant market Weather re-
ports should be utilized in study of
the weather conditions that are pre-
vailing in the different large markets,
to the end that foodstuffs that normal
ly are consumed in large quantities in
warm weather may not be sent to mar
kets where cool or cold weather Is
prevailing.
There should be fuller recognition
of the joint responsibility of the ship
per with the carrier for the safe car
riage Of food products to destination,
the specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture point out.
Shippers should cooperate closely with
carrier by giving ample instructions
with reference to refrigeration and
ventilation, to the end that food prod
ucts may be properly conserved in
transit and reach channels of consump-

things connected with the proper care

Shippers too frequently through
carelessness and a lack of knowledge
of the proper methods of protecting
perishable shipments, leave wagon
loads of them exposed to the hot sun
for hours at time instead of loading
them promptly into refrigerator car

closed between loads. The carriers
representative or local agent usually
takes notice Of such condition only for
the purpose of recording the circum-

The fact frequently is overlooked that
the carrier may render definite assist

by cooperating with the shippers and

Shippers should invariably notify
consignees as soon as shipments are

FOR SUCCESS WITH ALFALFA
Any Type of Soil, Well Drained, Free

Fertility Will Do.

Alfalfa may be successfully raised
on almost any type of soil providing
that it is well-drained, free of weeds
and in reasonable state. of fertility.
Good drainage must be provided.
The ground must be made free of
weed seeds.
Soils lacking In fertility should be
well-manured. as alfalfa requires large
amounts of plant food. If sufficient
manure is not to be had it should be
supplemented with commercial fer

potash.
If the soil is sour. it must be lined

WATCH YOUR CROPS
Always Keep a Sharp Lookout for
Many Insect Pests.
Farmers Should Provide Themselves
With Poisons and Then Keep Vigil
for First Outbreak of Enemies
of Farm Crops.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Much Of the destruction to crops by
insect pests is due to the failure of
farmers and fruit growers to detect an
outbreak at its beginning, and to delay
in getting the necessary combative ma
terial. Farmers who provide them
selves with insect poisons and then
keep a vigil for the first outbreaks of
crop enemies will bring through the
largest yields
That great part of the annual loss
to grain crops due to insect injuries
can be avoided by vigilance and Wig
orous action on the part of growers is
noe sufficiently realized. Frequently
insect outbreaks originate within a
limited area, and when this Is the case
it is often quite possible to stamp
them out before any great damage has
been done If the outbreak is general,

For less intensive feeding, when
