and BY log scale measure. A choice
is thus offered and the more profitable
form Of bid can be accepted. Prior to
making sales a fairly good estimate
should be made of the amount and val
ne of the material for sale. Persons
experienced In measuring and estimal-
Ing timber usually can be found In
every region where timber has been
handled In the past. 1t is advisable to
market the higher grades of timber
rather than use them on the farm,
where the cheaper material generally
will prove quite as serviceable. This
should be done in many cases even II
1t makes necessary the purchasing and
hauling to the farm of cheaper lum-
Der. Before following such proceed
ure, however, the farmer should be
sure that he has high grade product
to sell, for markets which nv good
prices usually buy on grade and in
spect closely. The use of written
timber-sale agreement is recommended
by the United States Department of
Agriculture in selling woodland tim
her, particularly where the cutting Is
done by the purchased.

FEDERAL GRADES FOR
CWHEAT ESTABLISHED
Factors Which Closely Limit the
Commercial Value.
Country Buyers Arc Urged to Equip
Themselves With Standard Equip
ment Such az Used by Ii.
censed inspectors.

Federal grades for wheat have been
established upon the basis of actual
commercial value for the various
grades. The moisture content Of
wheat. the percentages Of dockage
and of other foreign materials pres
ent, the extent of damage, II any, and
the test weight per bushel all are fac
tors which closely limit the CONNER
cial value of wheat. There Is no rea-
son why the producer Of inferior
wheat should expect to receive as
much as the careful farmer who has
produced q highest weight. low

tically free from foreign matter other

Many Of the country elevator opera
tors have. installed grading equipment
for the purpose Of purchasing all
wheat upon the basis of grade. Yet
purchase by grade is Of but little
value unless the grades are fairly adj

urged to. equip themselves with stand
ard equipment such as that used BY

SHOULD GROW HAIRY
VETCH MORE WIDELY
Crop Thrives in Nearly All Soils
and Climates.
Acreage 10 Far Below That Of Several
Other Leoumlnous Forage Plants
High Cost Of Seeding 10
Big Objection.

Hairy vetch thrives in nearly all
soils and climates, Is probably as
widely distributed as any other le-
guminous forage crop, and is used for
nearly every purpose for which forage
crops are employed. 1t Is remarkable
for It's ability to grow on poor soil.
to resist cold, drought, and alkali, and
for its comparative immunity from in
sects and diseases.
Despite all these advantages, hairy
vetch Is not one Of the major forage
crops. The acreage Is far below that
of several others Of less value. For
age specialists Of the United States
Department of Agriculture say that
this crop could be profitably grown on
a great many more farms.
Hairy vetch, with all its excellent
qualities, is not without some objec-
tionable features. Perhaps the most
serious Is that 1t will not stand up
right without support. AS a hay crop,
therefore, II must be planted with rape
or some other stiff-stalked crop. There
is sometimes difficulty in getting a
stand and on the other hand In ex-
terminating 1t when 1t Is once estab-
lished.
The high cost Of seeding has been
perhaps the principal factor In pre-
venting it's general use. Specialists
hold out no hope for cheap seed, but
they assert that the advantages of the
crop are sufficient to justify its plant
ing even at high cost. This Is particu-
larly true. they say, in the states bor-
dering on the Great Lakes and In most
of the Atlantic and Gulf coast states.
The subject Of seed production in
various localities is discussed In de-
tail in Department Bulletin S76, copies
Of which are available to interested
persons. free on application.

One important requirement for par
eel post shipping and marketing is a
proper and satisfactory container, the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture points out. Sometimes the con-
sumer can secure containers more
readily and economically than the pro-
Queer. Those with handles are much
less likely to be damaged In transit In
the mails than those which are not
thus supplied and which are likely to
be tossed or thrown or handled by the
string or Irvine used In tying them
A bamboo basket serves the purpose
very well and may be used long
time. Ordinary spllnt baskets made of
strips Of veneer may also be used, and
II they can be secured at q price suffi-
ciently cheap a new one for each ship
ment Is more economical than having
them returned, unless they are sent
back In lots Of ten or more under one
cover. This, of course, necessitates
using them without wooden handle.
In which case a heavy Irvine should
be used for handle. This Irvine can
be united and the baskets nestled. or
placed In one another, for return ship
ment. II basket with a. wooden
handle is used. care should be taken
to see that 1t Is securely nailed, not
only ut the rim of the basket but furth-
err down toward the bottom. so as to
