'STUFFING' NO LONGER FOOLS
Common Practice In Certain Sections
to Put Poor Products at Bottom
Of Packages.

In certain sections Of the country
the practice of "stufIing" a barrel, a
box, or a bag with under-slze and over
ripe specimens Of fruits and vegeta-
bles Is common. But no longer does
this fool anyone, say marketing ex-
perts of the bureau Of markets, Unit

for the buyers give slight consldera-

these growers.
The grower who is scrupulously hon

The buyers know precisely what to
expect, and can always rely upon him.

POOLING WOOL CLIP
IN COLLECTIVE SALE
Buyers in Large Number Are
Thereby Attracted.
Makes II Possible for Growers to Re.
eelve Payment for Full Value Of
Produet-cost Of Handling
10 Reduced.

The advantage Of wool pooling and
cooperative selling may well be out
lined as permitting the growers TO sell
their wool collectively in n large vol
ume, thus attracting a large number
of buyers and making possible the pay
ment of tEe full value of the wool. The
larger buyers are not attracted by in
dIvldual clips unless they are of CON
siderable magnitude such as some of
those produced by the larger ranchers
In the West. Nor Is the local buyer
able to pay the full price for wools
which must be purchased a few
fleeces at n time and carried Mt his
personal expense and risk unit, sutii-
cient volume has been accumulated TO
permit Its shipment to some central
wool market.
Volume handling such as Is possible
where the entire clip of the communi-
ty Is sold collectively reduces the cost
per pound Of buying and handling and
will permit the purchaser. whether u
local wool merchant or some outside
buyer, TO pay higher price per pound
than Is possible where II is necessary
to purchase the wool In small lots.
The bureau of markets. United
States department of agriculture, is
constantly giving assistance to CO.
operative organizations in the way of
organization practices and selling
methods and will be glad to extend
similar service in the cooperative
marketing of wool.

AVOID ANNUAL LOSS
TO Different CROPS
Vigilance and Vigorous Action
Necessary by Growers.
Insect Outbreaks Within Limited
Areas Should Be Stamped Out
at once-FaII Flowing 10
Universally Beneficial.

A great portion OF the annual loss
juries can be avoided by vigilance ant
vigorous action or the Iart OF the
grain growers. Insect outbreaks FIRE
quently originate within limited areas,
and when this Is the case II often Il
possible to stamp them out before any
great damage has occurred. In other
instances the outbreaks nre of gen.
eral origin. and then community nc.
tion Is essential In order that the In
roads OF the pest may be overcome
The most serious insect enemies OF
cereal crops, such as the Hessian fly,
the chlnch bug, and white grubs, be-
long to the latter class. In the case
OF these and other widely distributed
foes of the grains no means of stop
ping their ravages will be fully sue
cessful until community action can be
secured In adopting the methods of
combat at present advocated by ento-
mologists.
Fall plowing doubtless is the most
universally beneficial practice for the
control of the insect pests OF cereal
crops, and this measure should be
adopted except where II is rendered
impossible by local agricultural condl-
tions, says the United States depart
ment OF agriculture. Corn never
should be planted on freshly broken
sod land, because this practice is al
most certain to expose the crop to
the ravages of cutworms, wlreworms,
and white grubs. Crops belonging to
the bean family such as cowpeas, soy
beans, clover, alfalfa, etc. may be in
terposed safely between sod and grain,
and especially between sod and csrn,
In order that injury to the grain crops
by these pests may be avoided.

LABOR REQUIRED TO
RAISE MONEY CROPS
Results Obtained by office Of
Farm Management.
Work Of One Man and One Horse for
q Ten-Hour Day to Cut, Cure and
Harvest Acre Of Hay-Fiaures
Useful to the Farmer.

The approximate amount Of labor
REQUIRED to raise some Of the more i'm
portant crops has been determined by
recent farm studies conducted by the
office Of farm management, United
States department of agriculture. The
results show that 1t requires the work
Of one man and one horse for a ten
hour day to cut, cure and harvest an
acre Of hay. Oats, wheat. barley, rye.
buckwheat, and mlllet consume more
labor; under normal conditions these
grains require the labor of man for
two days and for the horse three
days. Corn for the silo in the CEN
trail states consumes three days Of Ia
Dor and So of horse work. Tobacco
In Kentucky uses 35 days Of man la
Dor against days for the farm
horse, but onions, as determined
through studies in Ohio, sold In
lunches, top the list Of vegetables In
the amount of labor they require.
Onions use 149 days of man work, but
only ten Of horse work. Beets and
carrots, also solo in punches. come
next with 50 map-days to each acre
and eight days horse labor.
II Is interesting to note that a
horse, in the eastern states, requires
IL ten-hour days per year from his
master to care for him, and he con-
tributes only three-quarters Of one
day to his own upkeep-hauling feed,
etc. Dairy cows need 1S days from
the man and two from his horse each
year.
These figures are given in Farmers
Bulletin No 1139, to aid the farmer
In an analysis of his business. They
will be useful in assisting the farm
operator to estimate his labor needs
for the next season.

Squads are usually killed in the

the arteries in the back part of the
roof of the mouth and piercing the
brain; but If sent to market without
plucklng they are usually killed by
pressing the thumb against the neck,
where It joins the head, until 1t is dis

they are stuck, the feathers, with the

DIPPING METHOD EXPLAINED
First Requisite for Treatment is
Sunny Day so That Fowls May
Dry QuickIy-Has Big Ad-
vantage over Dusting.

There seems to be a general senti-
ment among poultry raisers against
the practice of dipping fowls. This
Is probably partially on account of
the foct that the dips tried have been
Of an oily or caustic nature and have
tended to soil the feathers and In
some cases injure the skin Of the
fowl and give the feathers thorough
wetting. The experience of poultry
specialists Of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture does not JUS
tify this aversion to dipping in a sodl-
um-fiuorld solution. The dipping
method, however, is most applicable
to the southern states and to summer
treatments In the North.
Warm Sunny Day Necessary.
The first requisite is a rather warm,
sunny day. so that the fowls will dry
quickly. Windy weather should be
avoided. In dipping fowls as describ-
ed the feathers do not get thoroughly
wet, and If the operation is finished
an hour before sundown the fowls
VIII become thoroughly dry before go
ing to roost. In the rather extensive
tests made of this method no Ill effect
whatever from the dipping has been
observed. As compared with busting,
this method has an advantage in that
1t reduces considerably the cost of
materials; is more rapidly done, and
the discontinue to the operator is
avoided. 1t is just as effective as
busting.
The lice die much more quickly fol.
lowing dipping than when sodium flu
orid Is applied In dust form. 1t ap-
pears that all those which are touch
ed by the liquid die very promptly,
and the others succumb In a few
hours.
