PRODUCE SELLING ON
ROADSIDE IN FAVOR
Higher Prices Being Received by
New York Farmers.
One Farmer Disposed Of Practically
All His Fruits and Vegetables
Direct to Consumers-Mid-
dlemen Eliminated.

Despite the fall slump in produce
prices, a number of farmers in the VI
cinity of New York are receiving high
er prices for their produce than ever
before.
One of these farmers located 20 miles
from New York on a main highway
has written Secretary OF Agriculture
Meredith urging him to encourage
roadside selling of farm produce dl-
rect to consumers at the farm. This
farmer stated that he had disposed
of practically all Of his fruits and vege-
tables in this way, people coming from
quite distance to make. purchases.
Everything except some corn was sold
right at the gate" he wrote, "and at
better than city prices in many In
stances. The consumers have received
their fruit and vegetables absolutely
fresh and there have been no middle
men to absorb part of the profits"
There are hundreds of individual
roadside markets throughout the coun-
try that are achieving similar sue
cess, say specialists of the bureau OF
markets, United States Department of
Agriculture. OF course, It could not
be recommended that farmers aban-
don their regular marketing channels
to take up this plan of marketing, but
there are many instances where farm
ers located near consuming centers
and on main Highways over which
there is some volume of traffic might
dispose of considerable produce by
displaying at their gates signs con-
tanning list of the articles they have
for sale.

ed, and Where Harm Is Being Done
Preventive Measures VIII
Abate Nuisance.

The crow is best known by the un-
favorable reputation II has acquired in
the corn field, the poultry yard and
through Its attacks on other crops be-
sides corn. 1t, however. carries on a
warfare against certain insect enemies
or the farmer. Indscrimnate killing
is not warranted, and even In areas
where the crow is doing harm prevent
i've measures will often put II stop to
the nuisance and allow the bird to con
tinue what good work II may be do
ing on Insects. Among the preventive
measures suggested by the United
States Department OF Agriculture are /:
!. The use OF coal tar and other de-
torrents on seed grain.
2. Scattering grain over fields where
the crop is just sproutlng.
3. Stretching twine about and across
fields from poles statioDed at intervals
A network of such strands Is often eff
fective In protecting poultry yards.
A. The use of frightening devices
and the hanging up of the dead bodies
OF crows In conspicuous places.
In places where more drastic meas
ures are necessary the killing OF even
few crows will lntimidate others and
these will usually shun the area for
some time. Such procedures include
/. The use of poison (strychnlne) In
places where this is permitted by law.

3. Destroying nests-n measure that
will most frequently put stop to the
poultry-raldlng activities OF pair OF
crows which have their nest nearby.
L. Shooting-the hunter being aided
by the use of crow call, and, where
possible, also by mounted owl placed

some form of animal feed will pro-
duce 80 per cent more eggs than the
same flock or another which is not fed
any meat scraps.
Gambling Eggs.
One Of the bad practices that have
grown up with the selling of eggs has
been what is known as the "loss-off"
basis or lease count" That is, the
egg huckster or storekeeper pays for
the eggs he buys from the farmer re-
gardless of the quality. 1t must be
recognized by every one that dealers
who buy eggs straight count" pay for
number which are later thrown out
as unfit for food. AS matter of fact,
the dealer does not pay for the bad
eggs brought in. He pays low
enough price so that he can have
number of eggs thrown out and still
make a profit.
The poultry man who Is In the poul-
try business for profits handles his
eggs properly and markets them while
they are strictly fresh, so that he sells
and demands quality prices for his
quality eggs. By providing plenty of
nests, so hens do not steal their nests !;
by gathering the eggs twice a day In
summer and once in winter, and mar
keting them very frequently, he keeps
down the percentage Of loss.

OF all the insect pests and diseases

of the more important ones that are
native to the United States. Like
many other baneful things, insect pests
and diseases have followed the course
of civilization. They are carried In
many ways from one country TO an
other, and II is the work of the De-
partment of Agriculture to guard the
United States against their entry and
TO prevent their spread once they
they make their appearance here.

Is 10 get the best results from his
fowls in winter, he must furnish this
kind of feed. Green cut bone Is
usually fed by itself while the scrap
and meal may be readily mixed with
the ration. Cut bone consists of green
or fresh bone, sliced or shaved into
thin pieces, but beef bones fresh from
the butchers have more or less matter
adhering TO them, and the more of
such matter the better, for the com
binatlon of bone and meat is excel

sufficient for 25 hens, but not over
