DEMOCRATS AND OUR SHIPPING

The United States is now the sec.
ond maritime power in the world. In
1914 the United States had 755 ocean
going vessels, aggregating a little
over 100000 gross tons, of which
so per cent were engaged in coast
wise and Great Lakes trade. Only
10 per cent of the cOuntrys foreign
bottoms and the shipbuilding indus
try was stagnant.
In 1920, on June 80, the United
States had S,4O4 ocean-going vessels,
aggregating over 100000 gross ton.
mage and AZ per cent of our cOuntry's
foreign commerce was carried in
Americas ships.

The proof of parcel-post marketing
Is in the eating.
Many thousands of consumers have
tried out this method of purchasing
farm products for the table and are
eating their food with a relish born
of good food, favored with the sauce
of economy and service. After all,
the final test of this method Of direct
marketing is the measure of satisfac-
ton secured by buyer and seller. In
stances of successful parcel-post sell
ers, North, South, East and West,
which have come to the attention of
the bureau of markets, United States
department of agriculture, prove quite
as much as pages of theory and dis
cussion the immense practical value of
this method Of buying and selling.
While the extent to which the people
Of this country are marketing produce
through the parcel post is not definite
ly known, there is every indication
that the volume of business is in
creasing steadily.
A "Parcel Poster" Prospers.
And there is every reason why the
parcel-post business should increase.
Men and women are succeeding splen-
didly in building up businesses with
the mail service as their chief aid. OF
course, the producer cannot succeed
without an accessible market; he must
be sure that he has the kind and quail
ity of produce that Is wanted; and he
must learn the art Of conducting his
business, writing his letters, ETC., in
such way as to give satisfaction.
That is what fruit grower in Oregon
has done. For three or four years he
has specialized in marketing fruits,
berries, and vegetables by parcel post
to customers in small towns within
radius of 200 miles. His mailing list
now includes about 1000 names, and
his sales amount to about $4,000 an
nually.
BY supplying products of extra quail
ity which are carefully Grated,
packed, and shipped, this man has Sc
cured additional business through the
recommendations which original pa
irons have supplied. Many of his
customers he has never seen, but they
trust him because he guarantees sat
isfaction. When an occasional ship
ment proves unsatisfactory 1t is re-
placed free of charge and no questions
are asked. His business has grown so
that recently he has bought fruit from
other producers in order to supply his
trade. But he has always taken par
ticular care to ship only high quality
fruit, so that his high standard Will be
maintained. He realizes that unless
he does this he will soon lose his pa
irons confidence and voluntary COM
mendation-his best business asset.
Down in Kentucky is farmer whose
experience furnishes similar proof OF

is RACE TO BE HAIRLESS?
Prediction Made, Not Without Reason,
That Coming Generations,
VIII Be Bald.

That the man of the next century
will have no hair on his head has been
predicted time and again, and the fact
that many men under 40 are bald
seems to indicate that this may be
possible, the man of the coming gen
erations acquiring badness at an
earlier age until finally hairless
specimen of the genus homo shall ar
rive. But 1t is through no fault Of
their own that men are losing their
hair, while women are perhaps I'M
consciously getting ready to become
hairless females of the species, and
while they may be only working out
the will Of Providence, they are doing
it deliberately by ''bobbing" their hair.
The fashion was introduced, 1t is
said, by Russian women, who disguised
themselves, trying TO get out Of their
MISREPRESENTATION country. Coming TO
the United States. their bobbed hair
attracted attention, was first taken
up by the bohemian set in New York,
and now is rapidly spreading. Some
of the older women, not wishing 10
sacrifice their locks, are said TO be
wearing false bobbed hair.

POULTRY
CACKLES
MAKE SURE EGGS ARE FRESH
Method Generally Employed by Com.
mission Houses for Purpose is
Known as "candiino."

When supplying fancy trade with
eggs, or on receiving eggs from outside
sourcas, it is often desirable to deter
mine their freshness. The method
generally used by commission mer-
chants for this purpose is known as
Gambling" and consists in holding
the esq between the eye and light
so as to note the contents. This
should be done in a darkened room.
using one OF the egg testers on the
market or simple homemade tester.
The air space in a perfectly fresh
egg is very small, and as the egg loses
part Of its contents by evaporation
this air space increases in size with,
the age of the egg. Fresh eggs should
appear clear and bright, showing no
DARK spots. Those accustomed to
Gambling" soon learn to detect stale
eggs with a good degree OF accuracy
and rapidly.
Another method employed by some
who have not great number to test
is TO put the eggs in basin of water.
If good they will lie on their sides; If
bad they will stand on the small ends.
The older the egg the more upright
it stands, and II very old it will be
suspended In the water or even float
on the surface.

SCARCITY OF BALING
WIRE is BEING FELT
One Factory Induced to Resume
Work to Capacity.
Shortage of Tie Material Is Due
Mostly to Strikes and Transpor-
tation Difficulties-Loss to
Hay Crop Is Small.

Something new In the way of short
ages has developed. This time it is
a shortage of baling wire for this
seasons hay crop. If the horses go
unfed, 1t will not be because of lack
of hay, but because of the lack of
bale ties to bind the hay for ship
ment.
Active steps taken by the bureau of
markets, United States department of
agriculture, TO aid in overcoming this
shortage of bale ties have resulted in
one factory, with an output of 500
bundles day, resuming work to ca
pacity, and several other large manu-
facturers stating their willingness TO
do everything possible to meet the de-
mand.
The bureau of markets has COM
municated with the principal manu-
facturers of wire and the leading bale
tie factories, urging them to increase
their production. A survey of the en-
fire situation disclosed that the general
scarcity is due mostly TO strikes,
transportation difficulties and short
age of wire.
AS distribution Is one of the main
reasons for the present shortage, the
department of agriculture has sug-
gested plans to manufacturers by
which it is hoped to supply those sec
lions of the country first where the
need is most pressing. 1t is believed
that If the manufacturers proceed
along the lines suggested, sufficient
hale ties will be manufactured and
shtpped to dealers to supply the de-
mand with little loss to the hay crop.

SILAGE FROM MATURED CORN
Feeding Value Not Decreased Where
Ears Have Not Fully Developed
When Preserved.

Silage made from corn that has an
opportunity to fully mature but which
has been planted in such way that
the ears have not fully developed, has
practically the same composition and
the same feeding value as silage made
from corn equally we'll matured but
which will yield q fair crop of ear corn
to the acre. This is supposed to be
due to the fact that in tie production
of the ears there is merely transfer
of the nutrients from the stalk and
leaves to the ear. There is a slight de
crease in the feeding value of corn
when placed in a silo, but this should
not exceed 1919, and the loss is less
from this method of preserving than
in any other.

the value of the parcel post in direct
marketing. This man sells dressed
poultry, eggs, meats and fruits to
customers in Nashville, Tenn. The
business was started two years ago by
selling to friend who was so pleased
with the results that he told his
neighbors of his good fortune.
Cheapness Not Essential.
Other things being equal, purchasers
expect to save something over esti-
mated retail prices by dealing direct
with the producers. 1t does not al
ways follow that the prices of parcel
post goods must be below the market.
levels. This Kentuckian, for example,
has never catered to those desiring
low,priced goods. Rather, he has built
I'D his entire business on the basis
of high quality. He is just as particu-
lar in selecting customers as some Gus
toners are in selecting a producer
from whom to obtain farm products.
He retains his customers by never
breaking his rule, which is sell only
the best" Many producers would oc-
casionally be tempted to sell second
grade produce when the orders exceed
ed their supply of first grade produce.
This is something which the Ken
tuckian never does. Instead. he
frankly tells his patrons that he is
out of the desired supplies and. I'M
less otherwise instructed, he will fiji
the order as soon as possible.
New Highlander Sells Eggs.
Up in little town in New Hamp-
shire is q retired business man who
has built up a good trade in marketing
eggs direct to customers. The business
was started because of the unsatisfac-
tory prices at certain city markets.
After some unsatisfactory experience
In shipping with containers of vari-
Gus kinds, he finally evolved one
of his own planning, which is proving
very satisfactory. These are now
manufactured for him in large guam
titles, thus bringing down the cost.
Particular care is taken in packing
the eggs and in tying the parcels. As
in most cases OF successful parcel-post
selling, satisfaction is guaranteed.
Printed labels are used and special
effort is made to answer all letters
carefully and promptly. In the last
year or so the business during the
spring and summer months has
amounted to an average Of 600 dozen
eggs per week.
These are but few hundreds of in
stances of successful parcel-post
marketing. Specialists in the bureau
of markets have compiled valuable in
formation on this question. Persons
desiring literature on this subject
should address the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, Washington,

At this season of the year good
many people have an opportunity to

lice and mites. Orchardists who have
a spray and are using lime-sulphur

afford to use the same spray In
rather stronger mixture to thoroughly

houses. If this is not available, thor
oughly spraying with kerosene or

cisor teeth or pinchers are replaced by
the permanent pinchers, which at two
years attain full development.
At from two and one-half to three
years the permanent first intermedi-
ates are cut and are usually fully de-
yeloped at three years.
At three and one-half years the sec
ond intermediates or laterals are cut.
They are on level with the first inter-

At four and one-half to five years
the corner teeth are replaced, the ami

At five to six years there is level

showing wear.
From seven to eight the pinchers
are noticeably worn; from eight to nine

After six years the arch gradually
loses its rounded contour and becomes
nearly straight by the twelfth year.
In the meantime the teeth have be-
