FRUIT AND VEGETABLE CROPS
Problems in Marketing Perishable
Products Begin With Produc-
tion-lmportant Factors.

The problems In the marketing OF
the vast amount Of perishable food
products begin, rs do most marketing
problems, with production. The vari-
ETY. of the fruit or vegetable grown
and the mount of this variety avail
able, often are important factors in
Shaping market demand and prices.
The quality Of the product, as inlu-
enced by choice of soils, fertilizers
and cultural methods, is another i'm
portant consideration affecting mar
keting success.
Since the growing Of perishable
fruits and vegetables is on a rela-
lively small-scale basis, while the
large aggregate demands Of the great
market centers have brought about
the existence Of dealers who handle
such produce only in large lots, the
questions Of production which later
influence marketing can be dealt with
satisfactorily in most cases only on u
community basis. This fact and the
recognition that many other problems
could be met satisfactorily only by CO.
operating groups of producers, has
led to the organization of cooperative
marketing associations in many Sec
tons devoted more or less extensively
to the production Of such perishable
crops.

BALANCED RATION FOR HENS
In Experiment Conducted by Ohio Sta
ton Fowls Gained In Weight and
Produced More EQQs.

Feeders Of horses, cattle, sheep and
hogs have claimed for years that these
animals must be fed a balanced
ration. Special attention has been
given to balanced rations for dairy
cows. BY this is meant that n feed
constituent should not be fed in ex-
cess, while another is lacking for the
upkeep of the animals body. The pro-
tein must be in a certain proportion
to the sugars, starches and fat in the
feed. Now the hen comes in for her
share in this scientific feeding.
Ten times as many eggs were pro-
duced by hens fed a well-balanced
ration as by those given only corn,
