fFrom the United states Department Of
Agriculture)
In an effort to decrease the great
waste Of perfshable fruits and vege-
tables due to careless and improper
handling. which subtracts hundreds Of
thousands Of pounds Of food from the
country's supply each year. the bureau
Of markets and the bureau Of plant In
dustry Of the Omitted States department
Of agriculture will, as rapidly as prac-
ticable. extend the present demosstra-
tional and investigational work with
producers. shippers. carriers and ware
housemen regarding proper methods Of
handling perishables. This work will
be taken up with funds Just made
available In the food production bill
recently enacted by congress.
Specialists declare that the success

ables is primarily dependent upon care
full and proper handling methods when
being prepared for shipment. II care

vested and packed, all care exercised
thereafter to insure sound condition

These and other specialists also will
advise producers In the construction

products that can be successfully

eficient use and management Of such
storage houses. Specialists declare
that losses Of fruits and vegetables are
high In many well-constructed storage
houses merely because the equipment

The department will seek to reduce
losses Of perishables still further by

The real estate Office of P. ]. Bas-
tian, at Rockford, is one of the busy
places in Mercer county and Mr.. Bas-
tian conducts a business that is high
ly efficient in all departments.
There can be no questioning the
fact that the clients of P. ]. Bastian
sleep well. In fact all they have to
do is to turn this part of their bust
ness over to Bastian and he does the
worrying.
Mr.. Bastian is quite an extensive
dealer in real estate and has on his
list many farms and town houses. If
you want to buy, better see him and
if you want to sell he has buyers from
all over the county who may be in
terested in your place. If you de-
sire an investment he has farms that
located in many parts of the country
would bring a much higher price yet
they are just as productive and will
make investment properties unexcelI-
ed.
P. J. Bastian has always had re-
putation for fair and above board pol
icies in the conduct of his business
and in this Prosperity Edition we are
glad to give commendable mention to
his activities in the business world
and predict for his establishment a
full share of the county's prosperity.
