Owing to the scarcity of barrel
stock, many shippers Of early pota-
toes will sack their product this sea-
son. Care must be taken in handling
and loading sacked potatoes to pre-
vent bruising and crushing, as early
varieties are particularly susceptible
to decay following injuries. They
must also be loaded in such way that
complete ventilation of the shipment
will be insured. In some parts of the
country, sacked early potatoes are
loaded on end one layer high, and the
second layer is loaded on end on a
temporary rack few inches above
the bottom layer. This rack is con-
structed of three by inch string
ers, lengthwise Of the car, at the sides
and through the center, supported by
posts, a little higher than the bottom
layer. The bottom and top layers are
then loaded simultaneously and boards,

HAD LAUGH ON GERMAN SPY
How Charles M. Schwab Made a
Monkey Out of Emissary of
the Kaiser.

sDharles M. Schwab had an adven-
tuEe with a German spy" said Phil
aaelphia editor, "a short time before
W. entered the war.

81 some munitions business, and the
spy logged him like a shadow all the
way ogged him all over the Windy

zone evening, to fool the fellow, Mr..
Schwab wrote some fake kilograms in
the hotel library, and then he tore a
couple of the kilograms up, scattered
them on the floor and hurried from
the room.
''The spy, who was, of course, right
on the job, didn't follow him out right
away. That was what he had expect
ed, and so after bit he stole back on
tiptoe to take Mr.. Spy by surprise.
"What he saw made him smile. The
spy was down on his hands and knees
gathering up and putting together the
torn bits of fake telegram.
"Mr. Schwab, standing in the door
way, gave a loud laugh. Then he
said:

put in place. This has the advan-
tage Of allowing sufficient space for
ventilation and preventing crushing
the potatoes in the bottom of the load
by the weight of the sacks above.
Serious losses in potatoes now held
in common storage can be largely re-
duced if growers and shippers take
necessary precautions in the manage
ment of their storage houses. All
ventilators and doors should be kept
closed during the daytime and storage
rooms ventilated at night, when the
minimum outdoor temperature pre-
walls. Allowing the doors to remain
open during the day while grading or
loading potatoes may result in grad
ually raising storage temperatures, per-
hitting the rapid development of de-
cay, and greatly increasing the losses
from shrinkage. To maintain suitable
temperature and humidity conditions
in potato storage houses during the re-
mainder of the present season requires
the closest attention of growers and
shippers in the management of their
houses. The transfer IF common stor-
age stock into cold storage in order
to avoid excessive losses due to un
favorable storage conditions is a prac-
tical means of reducing storage losses,
where such practice is feasible.

cotton makes it practically impossible
to keep each farmers seed from being
mixed, with The result that there is
a general ad-aixture Of other varieties
or strains, making it practically impos-
sible to maintain the quality Of the
cotton being grown. Ginners can re-
turn to the farmers unmixed or un-
contaminated seed by cleaning out all
gin heads, bins, and troughs, thereby
retaining the purity of the seed.
Attention to Saws.
By giving more attention to the GIN
ming of cotton the ginner will again be
able~to improve general marketing con-
ditions for farmers. The adoption of
Pinch saws in the place of 10-inch
saws will enable the ginner to reduce
the speed of the saw shaft, thus reduc-
ing in great measure mechanical diff
ficulties In connection with the opera
ton of his gins. A speed of 1888 revo-
lutions per minute on the 12-inch saw,
or 400 revolutions per minute on the
1O-inch saw is considered to be good
practice. However, some gins have
been known to operate at over 500 rev.
olutions per minute, and this results in
a positive damage to the fiber, especial
ly If the seed cotton is not thoroughly
dry before ginning; hence the need
for careful attention to the speed Of
the saws, as well as the careful con-
sideration Of the quality and condi-
ton Of the seed cotton being ginned.
Importance of Comprising.
Finally, the adoption of gin COM
presses in certain particular communi-
ties will have the effect Of improving
marketing conditions by eliminating
certain unnecessary transportation and
reducing the demand for freight cars,
all Of which will result in reducing
transportation charges. A direct saw
ing would result by sampling the bales
at the press box and COMPRISING at
the gin. The bulky. poorly-bound ''fiat"
bale is perhaps one of the greatest
sources of loss in marketing cotton,
this bale being hard to handle, expos
ing the cotton to costly damage and
general deterioration. In order that 1t
may occupy less space in freight cars
and ships, it must be shipped to COM
press point to be compressed in special
cotton presses before being shipped to
central or export markets. This COM
pressing is done hurriedly and indif-
ferently. Additional bagging is used
to cover sample holes, and the six ties
placed on the bale at the gin are now
replaced by seven or eight ties. These
new ties are not always securely at
tached, with the result that they be.
come detached, allowing the bale to
expand into an unsightly mass and
break open; and the cotton reaches its
destination in poor condition.
1t will be of a great advantage to
American cotton growers if organiza-
ton can be brought to bear to improve
conditions at the gin. When planting
seed is unmixed, when lint is carefully
ginned, and when bales are properly
pressed and bound, American cotton
will command greater consideration in
both home and foreign markets.
