INCREASED VALUE OF
SWEET POTATO CROP

tables in United States.

proved Storage Houses.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
When it is considered that the value
of the sweet potato has increased more
than so per cent in the last ten years,
that it now ranks second in value
among the vegetables in the United
States, that the value of the 1917 crop
reached the huge sum of $90,0O0,00O
and that of 1918 is estimated at almost
$117000,0O0 it is not difficult to under
stand why so much interest is being
taken in this crop. The lowly potato,
so long accustomed to coming to mar
ket along with the farmers surplus
eggs and chickens and other such prod
ucts, is now moving in solid carloads
to the markets Of the North, East and
West. Only few years ago sweet POI
tatoes spent their winters in crude
and primitive dirt banks in the open
field, and under such storage condi-
tiOns many Of them decayed but now
they are stored in specially designed
and constructed storage houses in
which it is possible to regulate the
temperature and ventilation in such a
way that this formerly unstable and
perishable product can be marketed
with practically no loss at any season
Of the year.

PREPARE DUCKS FOR MARKET
Fowls Should Be Fattened for TWO
Weeks Before kiIIing-Green
Feed CoIors Flesh.

Ducklings to be marketed should be
fattened for two weeks before killing
on a ration made of three parts, by
weight, of cornmeal, two parts of mid
dlings, one part Of bran, one-half part
Of beef scrap, with 3 per cent grit
and 10 per cent green feed added to
this mash, or a mash of three parts
cornmeal, one part low-grade wheat
flour, one part bran, One-quarter part
beef scrap with the green feed and
grit, and per cent oyster shell added.
Feed this mash three times daily,
giving all the ducklings will clean up
in half hour. The green feed is
sometimes left out Of the ration dur
ing the last seven. days of fattening,
as 1t tends to color the meat and may
produce slightly flabby, rather than
firm, flesh. However, 1t is easier to
keep the ducklings in good feeding

proximately 1000 commercial orchards

to ascertain the need of national uni
form apple-grade law. Apple dealers,
county agricultural agents, and state
college hOrticulturists were also con-
suited on the question. Ninety per
cent of the growers and dealers who
were visited were in favor of apple
grading laws, and county agents and
college hOrticulturists were unanimous
in their favor
Benefits of Standardization.
Without established grades, the spe
cialists say, there is no recognized ba-
sis for buying and selling; there is no
common language by which the grower,
shipper, transportation company, deal
er and consumer may clearly under
stand each other; and there is no
standard quality by which values and
prices may be fixed. Such a basis can
not be established through individual
producers and associations represent
ing hundreds of thousands of farms in
widely separated districts, shipping
their products to the same markets.
Confidence is the foundation of trade,
and without grade standardization con-
fidence in the fruit and produce mar
ket cannot be established and main
tained For the want of confidence
fruits and vegetables are largely sold
subject to inspection, or consigned to
commission houses to be sold on their
merits as revealed when the packages
are opened. A misunderstanding or
difference of opinion as to what the
grade or quality should be results in
many reflections, which necessitates re-
sales and consequent delays and high
err prices in placing the product in the
hands of the consumer.
Standardized grades furnish a basis
for market quotations and tend to sta
Billie the price Of the commodity. Elk
cept as based on recognized standard
grades, market quotations cannot be
comprehensive and reliable, and the
national market news service cannot
be developed to it's highest efficiency.
The value of such market reports de-
ponds to large extent upon the ac-
curacy with which the product may be
described through the use Of fixed
grade terms.
There is an educational value in en-
forcing standardized grades. BY being
forced to comply with definite stand
ards the producer will improve his
methods in both growing and handling
his crop, and he will be compensated
for his efforts by increased returns,
due to the reduction in waste and mar
keting expenses.

EASY WORK FOR YOUNGSTERS
Training and Experience Which Boys

Of agriculture about seven years ago.
The average youngster takes to poul.
Try keeping with interest, particularly
when he is allowed to sell the surplus
meat and eggs and invest the income
n the savings bank or in better foun-
1ation stock for the improvement of
his flock. The training and experience
which the children realize from their
daily association with hens is of great
tll-round value to them and is of spec
al help in developing a love for coun-
ry life and in keeping rural boys and
girls on the farm. What q young

raising is indicated by q letter from q

There is a growing sentiment, both
among apple growers and dealers, in
favor of standard apple-grading laws,
say specialists of the bureau of mar
kets, United States department of agri-
culture. The objects, they say, to be
attained by such laws are: Elimina-
ton of fraud and deception, proven
ton of waste, establishing a basis for
trading, creation and maintenance of
confidence, sterilization of the market,
and encouragement of better methods
of production and handling.
The first definite attempt toward Sc
curing the passage of a national apple
grade law was initiated in 1907 by a
number Of prominent growers, ship
perS, and dealers, who were instru-
mental after working on the problem
for several years, in getting the Sulzer
bill enacted in congress. This bill be-
came a law in August, 1912, when it
was signed by the president, to take
effect July l, 1918. Although this law
was not mandatory, it served a valua-
Bile purpose in awakening and crystal
lizing public sentiment throughout the
country favOring the enactment of leg
islation which would serve to stabilize
the barrel-apple industry by eliminat-
ing fraudulent and deceptive packing
and by establishing uniform basis for
buying and selling.
Barreed AppIe-Grade Laws.
The first state mandatory apple
grade law was passed in Maine in 1918.
The following year New York passed a
similar law covering barreled apples,
which is still in effect in an amended
form This was followed by similar
legislation in Massachusetts, Vermont,
New Hampshire, Connecticut, Della
ware, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Wis
cOnsin-a total of 13 states.
The state laws have not been wholly
successful in obtaining the desired re-
suits, because the requirements in some
cases have not been practical and be-
cause the extent to which they have
been enforced in some states has varied
so greatly that in many instances the
grade terms have come to have little
value. However, they have done much
good In spite of the objections men
toned, a state law that is practical in
It's specifications and intelligently en-
forced will carry with it many advan-
tages.
Specialists in the bureau of markets
have conducted Investigations in all
producing sections and at packing
houses handling the products of APP

Motor Trucks Help Farmer to Get His

less he is able to advantageously haul
his produce over that five miles to the
nearest shipping point. AS Secretary
Redtield recently put it, You might
build the railroads up until they are
ten tracks wide, but you do not fully
help the farmer ten miles away to get
his produce to market. And you might
fill the rivers with steamers, and he
may still be isolated
Motor cars and motor trucks are
partial solution. But they are not
enough. To use them advantageously
requires good roads as well, over
which the farmer can haul his prod
uce in motor vehicles directly to the
consumer, where possible, or else to
the nearest shipping point. There
never was a sOunder investment In
the world than money expended in
the building Of good roads. The
Romans had learned that 1000 years
ago, and they built their roads so well
that some Of them are used yet.
Certainly one of the surest ways to
reduce the high cost Of living Is to
build more good roads. And the build

rotary of labor, has recently started
