A dispute Is an appeal on an
Interstate shipment Of uninspect,
ed grain that moves between
points where no licensed inspec-
tors are located and where the
grade has been determined by
shipper or receiver. The method
Of taking a dispute Is the same
as in the sase Of an appeal.
Farmers and dealers can take

BY writing or visiting federal

NoNSkID BANANA PEEL
New Triumph CT Famous Burbank
Farm.

According to news item wired
from San Francisco we are soon lo
have with us what one writer calls
'the nonskid banana peel" The edi-
BILE interior remains about the same
| as the ordinary kind, we are told, but
the new covering presents new
boon to humanity that should make
| It's discoverer famous if not wealthy.
| The genius who is saidN to be able to
produce nice large banana with a
coat like sand paper is one Frederick
Boegle, employed at the Burbank ex-
pertinent farm near Hayward, Califor-
| MIA.
| The discoverer of the so-called mon
skid peel" as casing for the delect-
able contents guaranteed to be found
inside, explains that the new fruit
was obtained by crossing the ordin-
ary banana with the cactus pear.
Boegel says the new fruit has the u.s.
ual delicious taste of banana, but the
peeling may be dropped on the side

not to be considered, says an ex-
pert as it is contrary to all hortichl-

| he says, if the 'nonskid peel" happens
to be dropped with the "nonskid" side
downward, then the same old, treach-
erous, greasy, deadly, never-failing
| calamitious thing will no doubt bring
| down it's victims as it has always
done since the Duke of Plazzatora,
