Drawbacks Of Present Methods.

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 a
commission dealer to know which to
order. There is also a wide difference
in quality. Manufacturers have ca
tered to the demands Of the grower
for a cheap package, and in doing so
have sacrificed strength. The shipper
who uses f1imsy baskets is "penny
wise and pound foolish" for frequent
ly he stands to lose 500 worth of
products in shipping when he saves
$1.00 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,
flimsy containers, and the breakage,
Furthermore, is often brought about by
unnecessary rough handling. 1t 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.

A thorough canvass by the bureau
of markets in the various producing
sections has resulted in the conclusion
that five sizes Of hampers are ample.
These sizes are the eight-quart or peck
basket; the ~16-quart, or half bushel
basket; the 20-quart or f~ve-eighths-
bushel basket; the 32-quart, or bushel
basket; and the 4S-quart or 1h-bushel
basket. Two shapes are recon-
mended for the last named. To
drop any Of these sizes would be
detrimental both to the trade and
to the public interest, and to add to
them would mean useless and unneces-
sary packages.
BY standardizing the dimensions Of
hampers, the purchaser will be able to
determine whether he has been sold
a standard or non-standard basket,
cimply by taking the measurements Of
the top, bottom and sides of the bas.
ket. 1t will not be necessary to call
in an inspector or to take a chance Of
the baskets being unlawful, inasmuch
as the dimensions determine the ca.
pacity. Baskets of standard dimen-
sions can be loaded more easily and
snugly than can baskets of different
sizes. The Standardization of dlmen-
| sions would be a great boon to the
basket manufacturer, eliminating du-
plication of forms and raw materials.
This would tend to reduce the cost Of
manufacture.
Baskets should be standardized as
to strength, for weak, 1imsy packages
will not carry to market and the n
suit is loss Of enormous amounts Of
foodstuffs and damage claims running
into millions Of dollars. The question
Of proper construction of hampers can,

A Tribute To

welt. And it is fitting that recogni-
tion be made of his services to his
country.
But We would suggest a memorial
to him which OF he could be cogniz-
ant Of it, would please him more than
any monument Of bronze or granite.
Our idea would be that the nation
should unite in carrying out a pro-
ject which he had advocated for
years and which was very near to his
heart. We refer to universal military
training.
Theodore Roosevelt felt that mill
tary training would be Of inestimable
value physically and mentally to
every young man Of America. He
also knew that the nation would bene-
nit greatly in having a disciplined
force in readiness to be called upon
in emergency.
No filter tribute could be paid TO
the courageous and militant spirit of
Roosevelt than the establishment of
such a system.

How much is the country
doctor worth? 1t is possible
that he is worth much more
than a city physician.
During the late epidemic the
great cities were long behind
the hard-to-get-at districts in
subsiding the menace. The
great cities of this country
should have put their official
hands before their faces.
The argument probably is:
There are more people in the
city,. That is no argument,
neither is it a reason. There
was no excuse for the grip to
have shaken this country with
such a gigantic swing as to
bring the death rates far above
that lost from this country in
the European conflict.
There is a reason, however,
and it was precisely this: the
lack of getting down to bust
ness of the physicians; the
health department not realiz-
ing the gravity of the situation
the closing of public places was
begun too late-as usual. We
should have learned by this
time to grab the poaching
troubles of our vicinities by the
horns when they first begin to
cast their eyes over our pas
lures.

1t is a good idea to keep up
the eating of food not entirely
made from wheat throughout
the country. The whole grains
are best in the long run and the
habit of seeing everything
white in cakes, bread, ETC., is
something that will benefit our
stomachs the sooner it is over
come.
Barley and rye are good for
a greater purpose than that for
which they are used most
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. They
are good to eat with our meals
not in the degenerate state but
in the whole nourishing state
where all that is originally

1t would be a good plan to
let these soldiers returning
from France without means of
support after they land in this
country, be advised to take to
the soil.
Farming is the most import
ant factor of any country in the
line of produce. Energetic men
step into an age of wealth
when they take the reins of a
farm on a modern scientific
scale and mean business. 1t
would reduce poverty, fill the
markets and generate now
wasteful lands in some of the
choicest parts of our country.
