GROWS GARDEN TO BUY CALF

clubs organized by the United States
department of agriculture and the state
college of Washington. With his pure
bred Jersey heifer calf. Areas Babe.
he won the state championship prize
last year: In 1917 Alfred became in
terested in the calf club work, but
purebred calf costs money, and he did
not have funds to buy that requisite
for membership. To enroll in gar
den club as the first step toward en-
tering the calf club may seem unusual,
hut that was what the Klickitat county
boy did, and he reached the desired
goal. The weeds in his club garden
kent him busy all summer, but he gave
II such faithful care that his vege-
tables were prize winners. He exhibit
cd a collection of them at the state
fair and took $50 worth of prizes.
Meanwhile he had been writing to
Jersey breeders for prices and deserip'
tions of calves. He decided on Jer-
sexs because that was the breed his
father had. With $40 of his garden
prize money he bought a month-old
Jersey heifer calf in October. He kept
her in the barn all winter, but IN the
sny;ne she was turned out on the
range When brought in in September

noses she was larger at eleven months

that the bulls were well
selected. OF the 81 daughters of as
ISOLATION bulls for which the 1918 rec
ords are available, 10 excelled their
dams in butter-fat production, and 10
excelled their dams in production of
both milk and butter fat.
The average yearly production of
the dams was $500 pounds of milk
and 219 pounds of butter fat. The
average yearly production of the 81
daughters was 6,523 pounds of milk
and 263 pounds of butter fat. In milk
production the daughters excelled
their dams by 1853 pounds or IL per
cent. and in butter-fat production by
A pounds, or 20 per cent. These are
not as large gains as some other bull
associations have given, but are well
worth while.
Because of cooperative ownership
the bulls cost the farmers no more
than would have been paid for scrubs
1t costs no more to feed the daugh-
tiers than to feed the dams, and il
costs much less to feed the bulls be
cause there were not so many of them
The increased production, therefore
was all net profit.

Few people realize when they sit
down to dinner including fresh fruits
and vegetables, the great problems
confronting the producer, carrier and
jobber in packing, loading, preserving
in transit, or marketing these perish
able foodstuffs. Systems of marketing
have been so developed that these
perishable products can be placed in
prime condition at the very door Of
the consumer. Even when the snow
covers the ground in the North, people
in large cities are supplied with straw
berries and oranges from Florida,
caulifower and lettuce from Cali
fornia, and green onions and radishes
from Louisiana.
While many problems have been
solved, others have been only partially
cleared away. The proper type of
packages or containers for marketing
perishables comes in the latter class.
A visitor to any wholesale district in a
| large city is confronted with con-
| fusing array of baskets, boxes and
crates of every conceivable size and
shape, which may cause him to wonder
how business can be carried on under
such circumstances.
Berry and Grape Baskets Standard.
The first piece of national legisia-
ton covering containers for fruits and
/ vegetables applied to barrels, which
was followed by the standard con
tainer act in 1916, standardizing berry
boxes, climax or grape baskets and
other small containers.
Now afl berries and grapes thai
move across state lines are carried II
standard sized packages, while manu-
facturers no longer make other type'
OF grape and berry baskets. This in
sures a square deal" to produces
and consumer, because the full-meas
are baskets mean that the produce
no longer loses on oversize conta1ner
and the consumer gets full measure
when he buys berries and grapes.
Various states have passed law
standardizing other forms of con
tanners, but there is sometimes lac
of uniformity in these state laws an
confusion arises at receiving markets
This is especially true in the case o
hampers in which vast amounts 0
fruit and vegetables are shipped eac
year from many producing sections.
Too Many Sizes of Hampers.
To eliminate much of the confusio
and modify marketing products |
hampers, the United States depar

ardization of hampers along thre
general lines as to capacity, dinner
sions and strength.
The hamper basket is populs

eastern and southern states. Fac
year about 300,000000 of these basket
of all sizes, are manufactured in abo'
100 factories near the large produeir
sections or in the timber areas. Son
of the larger factories turn out fro
100000 to 100000 baskets annual

Drawbacks Of Present Methods.


These hampers are now made in a
wide range of sizes, from eight
quarts to fifty quarts. some sizes con-
tanning even fractions of quarts. With
such a wide variety, it is difficult for
commission dealer to know which to
order. There is also wide difference
in quality. Manufacturers have ca
tered to the demands of the grower
for cheap package and in doing so
have sacrificed strength. The shipper
who uses fiimsy baskets is 'penny
wise and pound foolish" for frequent
ly he stands to lose 500 worth ct
products in shipping when he saves
S100 In the cost of his baskets. Rail-
roads are often expected to make good
these losses in transit and are some
times called upon to pay unjust claims.
The railroads, however, have been at
fault in accepting perishables in light,
fiimsy containers, and the breakage,
furthermore, is often brought about by
unnecessary rough handling. It must
be remembered that In the end the
consumer has to pay for all such
losses as well as for the trouble from
so many different kinds and sizes of
baskets.
Five Sizes Would Be Ample.

that five sizes of hampers are ample.

basket. Two shapes are recon-
mended for the last named. To
drop any of these sizes would be

to the public interest, and to add to
them would mean useless and unneces
