STANDARDIZATION IN FAVOR
tween Buyer and SeiIer-Graded
Goods In Demand.

It has been demonstrated many
times that In the markets Of the world
the seller with the best-graded prod
ucts is the favorite, because graded
goods are standard and the buver knows
what he will get when he buvs. Stand
ardization establishes a common Ian
guage between the buyer In one coun-
try and the seller in another which
creates understanding and confidence
and prevents disputes.
A national grading system usually
provides for authorized national in
spectors to pass upon the goods and
thus puts into effect a uniform stand
ard application ofs the grades estab-
lIshed. whatever they may be. that
can not be maintained unless the sys-

experts Of the United States depart
ment o. agriculture. In fact expert
ence has shown that the decisive fac
tor in the development Of foreign busi-
ness often hinges on the proper stand
ardization and grading Of the products
to be sold.

Lacking Essential Can Be Overcome

II Is necessary to have good venti-
lation If food and vegetables are to be
kept safely In storage. In many Gel.
lars under dwellings the lack Of venti-
lation Is the only essential that Is
lacking. However, this can usually be
easily overcome by providing an air

the cool air to enter at the bottom Of

WHY DANISH BUTTER
BRINGS HIGH PRICE
Quality Must Be Satisfactory to
Government Inspection.
National System for Grading Dairy
Products Produced In United States
Would Be Advantageous, Says
Bureau of Markets

No better illustration can be cited
Of the value of a system of grading
backed by the government than that Of
Denmark. This nation boasts of an
extensive export trade In butter and
has developed system Of inspection
and branding Of all butter destined
for expectation whereby the govern
ment supervises the grading system
and allows only those creameries to
use the national trademark whose
products are proved to be of salts
factory quality. The Danish system
recognizes only one grade of butter
the best. AS a result the producers
and sellers Of Denmark's butter al
ways find a ready market in every
country.
Holland, New Zealand. and Ireland
likewise maintain government inspec-
ton and branding systems which
have gained for these countries a
ready market for all the butter they
export. M
United States department Of agricul-
ture, contends that a. national system
for grading dairy products produced
In the United States would be advan-
tageous to all who are engaged in this
important branch Of agriculture. II
the dairy products of this nation are
to be received with favor and the de
mand for them increased In foreign
lands, a national grading system must
be adopted.

PAYS TO SHIP BACK
EMPTY EGG CARTONS
Shippers Find 1t Desirable to
Have Cases Returned.
Postage on UsabIe Containers Is Less
Than Cost Of New Ones-Many
Can Be Made into Smaller
Package or Parcel.

Many shippers of eggs by parcel
post find 1t desirable and economical
to have the customer save the contain
srs and return them after a sufficient
number have accumulated. The post
age on empty cases still In disable con-
dition is less tran the cost of new
ones. The consumer should receive
credit for the postage required to re-
turn them, marketing experts Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture suggest. Many Of the containers
are made In "knock-dOwn" style. and
can be made into much smaller
package or parcel. Containers knocked
down to be returned should be packed
In such way that there will be no edges
or points projecting without support
or protection, as such projections are
likely to be broken or crushed In the
mails.
The cost of the container is neces-
sarily included in the price Of the eggs
to the consumer. 1t Is therefore to the
interest Of the consumer to take prop
er care of containers and to save for
return all that are In disable condi-
ton. Since the return of containers
will have some effect on the price of
eggs, the proper spirit Of thrift should
cause the consumer to take care Of all
returnable empties and to send them
back In accordance with whatever
agreement or understanding may exist
between the producer and himself.

Barrels. crates, boxes, or bins may

preferable to built-in bins, as 1t Is
possible to remove them for cleaning.
1t is advisable to construct shelves or

prevent the containers from harboring

and rubbish. In the spring they
emerge and fly to fields of young

the root tops and stems. When the

they do the greatest damage.
The fact that they make the migra-
ton from the wheat to the corn by
walking gives the farmer his oppor-
tunity to check the invasion by pour
ing road oil along the bottom Of a
shallow furrow dug across the line of
march. Deep holes should be dug
every % feet along the furrow on the
side nearest the wheat to trap the

costs on goods we are selling to-day

publlc wants lower prices and doesn't

Both manufacturers and retailers
have bought their goods at the highest
prices. but it does no good for US to
tell this to our customers. SO all
parties to the clothing industry, from
the manufacturer to the retailer, have
determined to simply forget their
profits, The result is that to-day cloth
ing is being retailed on that basis, while
in some establishments certain lines
are actually being sold at less than the
cost of production.
They are doing these things neither
from panic nor from necessity but for
the excellent reason that they know the
country is passing through temporary
period of deaation and unsettlement
