Morgan & Son refused to take any more orders for coal several days ago. as their supply on hand is getting very low. They have a cargo of 800 tons at Bridgeport which has been promised as soon as the weather moderates and another cargo of $50 tons at Port Johnson, N.

PROGRESS|VES SUPPORT
TURNER FOR CABINET
Hanson. Case, Snyder and Mclean
Urge His appointment

In addition to the Endorsement of
80 of the 80 members of the Demo-
cratic state committee, prominent
Progressives who during the cam
paign worked for Woodrow Wilson
have asked the president to name
George Turner a member of the cab
met.
The. Progressives, who are Ole
Hanson, Otto Case. Edgar G. Snyder
and Henry Alberts Mclean, give
Senator Turner large measure Of
credit for carrying this state for
President Wilson. They express the
regret the people were not more ia
miliar with Senator Turner'S record
and his ability, and 1t is suggested
that If the president wishes to please
the Progressive supporters no bette.
way could be found than to name
Senator Turner a member of the
cabinet.
The essential paragraphs of the
letter are:
eve sincerely believe that the ad-
dition of Senator Turner to your
cabinet would not only give you an
able and helpful supporter there, but
that it would also be regarded as a
gracious and (permit us to say it,
deserved recognition Of a section of
the country that is OF steadily In
creasing Importance.
"Such an appointment from this
state would also tend toward the
permanent union in one organization
OF the somewhat diverse political
elements which united in carrying
this state for you last month"

the results published.
A conference relative to the mar
keting of live stock and meats was
held at Chicago November Is and
16, 1915, for the purpose of "ascer-
tanning the essential facts pertaining
to the industry, with view to bring
ing about more stable marketing con-
ditions, more efficient methods, closer
cooperation, and better under
standing among all the interests con-
nected with the industry"
Methods and costs of marketing
livestock and meats in the United
States were investigated. A prelim-
mary investigation of the sources.
accuracy. and use of market reports
on livestock and meats has been
made. The results of this study also
have been published and have been
utilized in the development Of plans
for the organization of a demonstra-
ton market news service for live
stock similar to that now conducted
for perishable crops. An appropria-
ton of $4,000 has been made avail
able for the purpose. Other subjects
which received attention are public
abattoirs, transportation of live
stock, organization and methods Of
the wholesale meat packing industry
and local marketing of live stock and
meats.
Surveys have been made of the
marketing facilities for agricultural
products in nine cities, and advice
has been given regarding the loca-
ton, establishment, and management
OF municipal retail and wholesale
public markets. Detailed studies also
have been made of local conditions
in other cities.
Investigations concerning methods
Of handling and grading perishable
products and the practicability Of the
Standardization of the products and
their containers have progressed rap
idly. Tentative grades for sweet po-
tatoes of Arkansas and Bermuda
onions of Texas have been worked
out and adopted by the local grow
ers' associations.
Market News Service.
The value to producers of fruits
and vegetables of the experimental
market news service inaugurated in
1915 resulted in insistent demands
for the extension of the work. Dur
ing the past year telegraphic reports
have been received from SO import
ant metropolitan markets and from
officials of all railroads serving pro-
ducing territory. The information
thus secured has been furnished to
growers, shippers and distributors
35 temporary ofiices in pro-
ducing territories and IL permanent
offices in large cities. Statements
from growers and shippers Of toma-
toes, strawberries, peaches, canta-
loupes, watermelons, onions, grapes,
apples, and potatoes indicate that the
actual monetary saving due to q Wild
er knowledge of market conditions
has exceeded the cost of the service
many fold.
The education of producers in the
proper marketing Of farm products.
the avoidance Of unnecessary losses
due to diversions in transit, and the
given to growers who
desire to reach new consuming CEN
ters are some of the benefits resulting |
from this attempt to develop for the /
farmer a reliable business basis.
