CONSUMER MUST BE PLEASED
Produce Should Be Packed So That It
Will Reach Destination in
Good Condition.

The producer dealing directly with
consumer must not forget that one
shipment of poor produce causes more
dissatisfaction than can be overcome
with several shipments of high-quality
produce, say market experts of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. Consumers often judge the
quality of produce by appearance.
Farmers should pack produce so that
when it has been transported 1t will
arrive in good condition and present
good appearance. Containers should
be suited to the produce shipped and
should be durable, strong and reason
able in price. Much dissatisfaction
has resulted from the use of insult
able containers.

TRUCKS USEFUL

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
At least $4,000 farmers In the Unit
ed States own motor trucks which
they use on their farms. This is
shown by preliminary survey of the
ownership and use of motor trucks
by farmers undertaken by the office
Of farm management and the bureau
of crop estimates. The data secured
by this inquiry answer many questions
which have been asked repeatedly in
recent years regarding the extent to
which motor vehicles are used for
farm hauling.
How Figures Were Secured.
The figures on which totals for the
nation and the several states are based
were secured from approximately 3d.
600 selected crop reporters of the
bureau Of crop estimates. These CO.
operators were asked to report the
names and addresses of farmers they
knew who own motor trucks for farm
use. Pleasure cars and traiIers for
use with pleasure cars were excluded,
and the reporters were asked not to
take account of trucks which are used
primarily for general custom hauling,
or on regularly established routes.
This survey can scarcely be con-
sidered a complete census, for it is
probable that in some localities the
crop reporters were not acquainted
with all the truck owners, but it is
certain that very large per cent
have been listed. 1t is believed that
In no state were less than 70 per
cent of the trucks reported. If not
complete in every respect, the figures
show the relative distribution very
satisfactorily.
How Truck Are Divided.
The exact number of motor trucks
reported is 1876, divided among the
states as follows: Alabama S47;
Arizona, 95; Arkansas, 721; California,
1,019; Colorado, SO4; Connecticut, 357;
Delaware, 100; Florida, $50; Georgia,
1903; Idaho, 800; Illinois, 2,261; In
diana, 1,54S; Iowa, 2,779; Kansas, L.
1872; Kentucky, S18; Louisiana, $40;
