THE WHY OF STANDARDIZATION
From Agricultural Grange News.

From Agricultural Grange News.
Mr.. Charles J. Brand, chief of the
bureau of markets of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
has made the statement that one of
the fundamental steps in the i'm
provement of the marketing of farm
products is Standardization. This
may seem to be a rather broad asser-
ton. What are the facts upon which
1t is based? What is the significance
of Standardization in our marketing
system?
1t is universal truth that the
spread between producer and con-
sumner is less on a standardized COM
modify than it is on like commodity
which is not standardized. To illus
trate: Wheat is probably the best
standardized of all agricultural COM
modities. Barley and rye, a like COM
modify, are not standardized. Buy
ers-especially brewers-wish to see
the last two named cereals before
buying. Wheat, on the other hand,
is largely purchased on contract with
out the purchaser having seen it. He
knows approximately what he is
going to get without seeing it when
he contracts for a certain grade. For
that reason the middleman charges
on wheat are much less at every stage
than they are on barley and rye.
Yet the middlemen say that they
would rather handle wheat than
either of the other two, because the
risk of loss is less.
The point brought out is this: II
one is not sure as to the grade a pur-
chaser may class a commodity he
must charge a wider margin to COM
pensate him for possible losses in
Cured through his commodities being
for which he bought it.
Agricultural commodities as a
whole are about the only articles of
commerce not standardized. One may
buy most classes of merchandise at a
distance by merely designating a
name or a number. He knows pretty
much what he is going to get before
it arrives. At least he is certain to
such a degree that he is willing to
send his money with the order.

BOYS CAUGHT IN
STOLEN TACOMA AUTO
OFFICER PECK AND DEALER TEW
OVERTAKE YOUTHS NEAR
LACEY TUESDAY.

Five boys riding in Studebaker
roadster stolen in Tacoma Monday
were arrested by Officer Ben Peck at
Lacey Tuesday afternoon, brought to
this city and turned over to the Taco
ma authorities that evening. Edward
Grant, IA years old, who was driving
the car, claimed the machine had
been loaned to him by another boy
whom he did not know.
Notice that the machine had been
stolen was given the local authorities
Monday night and all the local ga
RACES were notified. Tuesday after
noon E. G. Tew, the local Maxwell
and Hudson agent, phoned police
headquarters to learn the license
number Of the stolen machine and re-
ported that the car had just been at
his garage. the occupants buying q
gallon of gasoline and then starting
east.
Tew grabbed a touring car, drove
around to headquarters and got Of
ficer Peck and then "beat it" out
East Fourth street at a lively rate,
overtaking the boys short distance
from Lacey, where they were taken
into custody. Besides Grant, who
gave his address as sol North Pine
street, Tacoma, the other boys gave
the names of Paul Smith, Jim Nc
Avoy. William Pickell and John Cas-
ter, who said Grant picked them up
at American Lake, where they mad
been working. All insisted they did
not know the car was stolen.
Grants story was that while he
was walking into Tacoma Tuesday
from the army camp, a boy driving
this car overlook him and gave him
a Gift" When they got into town.
the other boy got out, saying he was
going to work but telling Grant he
could drive the machine around dur
ing the day II he would be sure to
bring It back in the evening. Grant
said the deal sounded queer to him
but he thought he would take q
chance.

package you bought last month. It
is this sameness. this consistency that
we call Standardization.
Now the purchaser Of most classes
of farm products has no assurance Of
sameness. For that reason the goods
must be inspected before they are
bought. Sale by inspection involves
extra handling costs. 1t implies that
the goods cannot be relied upon as to
quality.
Observation-Disclosures Of produce on
the farm or at the local shipping sta
ton insurs a great waste. For ex-
ample: The bureau of markets found
that Of all the apples arriving in Chi
cago between september IL and De-
cember s, 1915, that 26 per cent Of
the bulk apples, which amounted to
about $50 cars, and 10 per cent of
the barrel apples. or 100 cars, max
ing total Of SO cars, were Of such
a low grade that they would not have
paid freight had they been shipped
alone. The good apples had to carry
the inferior ones, Those low grade
apples should never have left the
community in which they we're
grown. except in the form Of vinegar
or some other by-product.
To be sure, these low grade apples
did not come from commercial
apple district. but from localities
where apples are grown as a side line.
Standardization not only insuree
the grower a higher price for his
product and saves a national waste in
the form of extra handling charges,
but 1t also provides an outlet for his
product. That Is, carefully packed
and graded produce is sold first. 1t
is generally the ungraded lots that
remain unsold.
The evidence in favor of careful
grades and packs is SO overwhelming
as to leave little question as to the
why" of Standardization.
The problem is wrapped up in the
chow" of Standardization. This sub
ject will be discussed at another time.

LEAVE PEACE PATHS
FOR THOSE OF WAR
MEN OF NEW NATIONAL ARMY
PARADE At CAPITAL, LED
BY PRESIDENT.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. T.
Men of the new national army whose
feet have known only the paths of
peace, last Tuesday trod the way to
war.

President Wilson, the first drafted
men of the capital marched the
length of Pennsylvania avenue-the
way of the presidents and troops of
other days.
lettering veterans of both sides of
the Civil war, cabinet members,
solons of the senate and house, SOL
diers of the war with Spain, civilians
from government departments, army
and navy officers, cavalrymen on rear
ing mounts, marines and other fight
ers joined in this solemn procession.
Honored in Other Cities.
In cities throughout the country
the same spirit, with different actors,
was shown in "sendoff" celebrations.
To do honor to the men under his
leadership who will help make the
world safe for democracy, President
Wilson was glad to trudge the mile
and half route beneath a warm Sep
TENDER sun.
Mothers, fathers. sweethearts. lined
the streets to pay homage, some tear
fully, some with brave smiles, oil
with a solemnity that marked fare

Thirty thousand marchers partici-
pated in the demonstration on the
day before the men departed for
camps. Hundreds of thousands Of
others kept step with the capital host
in other cities.
The drafted men, clean. strong
lads, formed a line with heads erect,
with a vigor that promised rapid
shaping into soldiers. Perhaps their
lines were a bit ragged. for most of
them had never marched before, but
the snap and power and pride Of
virile manhood was upon them.
Old Veterans Lead.
Well up to the forefront came Sem
ators Martin and Bankhead-Confed-

Washington streets were crowded
early. Great streamers of bunting,
big and little flags, fiuttered in the
breeze as symbols Of a united nation
sending out it's youth in righteous
cause. Bands blared patriotic music
that stirred fire in the breasts of old
and young marchers. Arriving at the
reviewing stand. the president re-
viewed the thousands he had led.

poultry specialists of the U. S. depart

perature of hen is from 106 degrees
to 1917 degrees-F. which varies slight

Dust the hen thoroughly with insect
powder, and in applying the powder
hold the hen by the feet. the head
down, working the powder well into
the feathers, giving special attention
to regions around the vent and under
the wings. The powder should also
be sprinkled in the nest.
The nest should be in some quiet,
out.of-the-way place, where the sitting
hen will not be disturbed. Move her
from the regular laying nest at night
and handle her carefully in doing so.
Put a china egg or two in the nest
where she is to sit, and place a board
over the opening so that she can not
get off. Toward the evening of the
second day quietly go in where she Is

remove the board from the front or
top of the nest, and let the hen come
off when she is ready Should she re-
turn to the nest after feeding remove
the china eggs and put under those

are slightly darkened the hens are
less likely to become restless. At
Matching time they should be confined
