MARKET CROP GRADES
Bureau Of Markets Studies Grad
ing Of Fruit and Vegetables.
Tentative Plans Worked Out for Ap.
pies, Peaches and Strawberries
Uniform Results Obtained by
Use Of Machinery.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF A~griculture.)
Extensive studies in the grading and
handling of fruits and vegetables were
made by the bureau of markets
Of the United States department Of ag-
riculture last season. and tentative
practical grades have been worked out
for apples, peaches, and strawberries,
according to a recent report Of prog
ress from the bureau. The work has
covered the principal producing Sec
tons Of the East, South and middle
West and also the more important mar
kets. It has included grading, pack
ing. packages, packing house construc-
ton and equipment. and the effect OF
different methods Of handling upon the
physical condition Of the fruit. The
operation Of sizing machines and other
lab%or-saving devices also were studied
to determine their efficiency and practi-
cability.
AS q result OF this work the depart
ment Is now prepared to make definite
recommendations as to grading and
packing these crops. fruit packing
house plans and equipment. and gen.
eral handling methods. Special atten-
potatoes, Texas Bermuda onions, canta-
loupes, and tomatoes, and a study OF
the various operations Of harvesting,
grading. packing. inspecting. and ship
ping has been started on other truck
crops.
AS a result Of these Investigations
the bureau Of markets was able to rec
ommend Immediately, In conjunction
with the United States food administra-
ton, on the request OF the federal re-
serve board. potato grades for use by
members Of banks when, in August, the
banks were authorized to make loans
against warehouse receipts for pota-
toes properly graded, packed, stored,
and insured. These grades are de-
scribed in a publication Of the depart
ment. Markets Document Z.
The tentative grades worked out IN
1916 were put to q practical test by be-
| ing used as a basis for the actual field
| grading Of car lots Of onions and po-
tatoes to compare the movement and
selling price of graded stock with that
which had not been graded.
In this work experiments have been
made to determine the efficiency and
practicability of machinery for sizing
these crops. 1t vas demonstrated that
the work may be done economically
and with more uniform results by the
use Of machines than by hand methods

Total 80. .$24O,645.OOO $663,924.55O
The total value Of field crops for
1917 was $663, 1924, $50, produced on less
than 100000 acres of land.
Further evidence Of prosperity and
progress is found in the Government
estimate of the value Of farm lands,

1t Will be observed that the average
price of land has not kept pace with
their producing value. 1t is therefore
pointed out that the opportunities for
the purchase of high-class land is still
within the reach Of those with linn
tied means.
A good idea Of advancement In a
country's progress may be obtained by
a knowledge of what has been done in
the production Of cattle. and when
these figures are studied in connection
with Western Canada. n country whose
fame having been heralded rs a grain
growing country, giving the idea that
that WAS what 1t was mostly adapted
to-. it will be realized that there is
there a vast storehouse of wealth
awaiting those who choose to take nd-
vantage of lit. In the three provinces
in 1912 there warehouses;. mich cows,
other cattle, sheep and swine, four mil
lion head, while in 1917 the number
was seven million.
In 1901 the entire population was

One maryels at the rapid progress
of the United States during the nine
teenth century. But Americas oppor
tunities for growth at the beginning Of
that century were nothing compared
to the opportunities which IRE Can
ada's at the present time.
The fact that Canada has as its next
door neighbor a nation Of over 100000.
OOO-the richest nation In the world
is bound to have a stimulating effect
on its progress. Already n sees
signs of it on every hand.
Canada not only has the largest area
of ~unoccupied, but fertile, land Of an,
country, but this land Is already made
available by q network Of railways

EARLY MATCHING OF CHICKS
cockerels Are Ready for Market When
Prices Are Highest and Puilets
Lay More Eggs.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture.)
Early Matching reduces the risks due
to the vicissitudes of Matching. When
eggs do not hatch well early in the
season there is time to find the reason
for poor Matching and correct 1t before
the season is too far advanced to get
reasonably early chicks in the num-
bers desired. In that cnse poultry
production may not be reduced at
all, and egg production is retarded
only a few weeks. When late hatch
ing is not satisfactory the crop OF
poultry is cut short and egg produc-
ton fails.
Early-hatched cockerels r ready
for the market when prices are high

prices OF eggs are highest.

CHANGE IN THE
FARMERS LIFE
a Living" Idea Has De-
veloped Into a money
Making Fact"

A few years ago-and not SO many
at that-most farmers were satisfied
If they saw ahead of them the oppor-
tunity to make a fair living, a reason
able competence in their failing years.
and an assurance of IN existence for
their families. They worked hard,
and titled their acres with this end In
view. Honest struggle, earnest ef-
fort and a true conception Of upright
manhood, together with the increas-
ing knowledge that upon the fruits OF
their oldeavor rested the structure of
the world. whose people had to be fed
and maintained. Economy in method.
improved conditions of working, have
added to the farmers possibilities, and
today instead Of being a plodder for
an existence, which his early training
had bred into him, he has become the
bulwark of the nation, and, as such,
has become elevated to a position
where his word and his work are rec
ogniecd as the factors 1t vas always
intended they should be. He is now
the man Of business-of big business.
He has forced an appreciation Of his
work, and the true value has been
placed upon it. The big men Of the
country today are the farmers, who,
with business acumen and forensic
foreth0ught are able to tell you-from
their books-what it costs to produce
Il bushel Of wheat or a pound Of wool.
All Of which is intended to prove
that farming is a business, as much
us banking or selling q suit of clothes.
1t is an Industrial business, with more
certain profits than accompany any
other lire of trade. 1t is a m%anufac-
turing enterprise, devoid of any of the
dangers that the frills of fashions
fOllies and desires force upon ordinary
pursuits. Food is something that all
must have and the farmer produces 1t.
The cheaper it can be produced the less
will be the cost to the consumer. And
this is one of the chief thoughts of the
farmer. Within the memory OF the
ten-year-old boy there have been i'm
provements in machinery, changes IN
methods, scientific discoveries of chem
icals as adapted to agriculture, all Of
which has lessened cost of production
and made possible the cultivation of
increased acres. In some parts these
things have brought about more inten-
sified agriculture, growing heavier
crops on less acres. Improved machin.
cry and demand for greater production
have led another class in search Of
larger areas, where their ability may
cope with the growing of q greater
number Of bushels. That is one of the
reasons why Western Canada lands
have recently come into such demand
These, Mt from twenty to thirty dol
lars an acre, and producing the pro
digious crops that are claimed fol-
them, have attracted thousands OF
American settlers, while other thou
sands have gone out into the lands In
ada lands, there is this to say of them
today they are cheap, and If they will
yield sufficient In one year to pay the
cost Of the entire purchase, why should
not there be a demand. The country
is well settled, and settlement is in.
