The association requests that pro-

that a number of paragraphs in the
standards are at variance with recon-
Inendations made by some OF the par
ties to the long contested series Of eN-

resulted.
The standards require gas Of certain

consumer is supplied with less than
standard gas the consumer may pay
/ a proportionateiy less price for the
gas.

Lice as a rule do not have the habit

they are found in the buildings as well

mites will also eradicate the lice found

Eleven thousand dollars Is the
amount that a Colorado banker esti-

pear growers last year through the
service rendered by field representa-
tives of the bureau Of markets, United
States Department of Agriculture.
Shortly before the harvesting Of the
pear crop the field agent of the bu-
reau of markets was requested by the
Mesa county farm bureau for a special
report on market conditions through
out the United States regarding pears.
This included the estimated crop
shipped from the earlier pearproduc-
ing sections of the West for the 1919
season and for previous years, and the
prevailing market prices in these pro-
ducing centers and at terminal mar
kets
The report was published in full In
both of the Grand Junction daily
newspapers. which reach approximate
ly 80 per cent Of the pear producers
In that section. The pear growers
were equipped with information that
enabled them to market their crop for
s11.O00 more than they would have re-
ceived otherwise.

FEDERAL STANDARDS
ENCOURAGE EQUALITY
MISUNDERSTANDING as to Bene-
fits Are Cleared Up.
With Passing Of Misrepresentation In.
~creaslng Sentiment Is Being Mani
tested In Favor Of Purchase
and Sale by Grade.

misunderstanding as to the applica-
ton Of the federal grain standards
and as to the benefits to be derived
from the sale Of grain upon a grade
basis have been the cause Of consld-
cradle dissatisfaction among produc-
ers and country elevator operators,
but with the passing of these misap-
~prehensions an ever-increasing senti-
ment is being manifested in favor Of
the purchase and sale by grade at
country points.
The old system of basing the price
at which wheat or other grain vas
bought from the farmer upon the aver
age quality of the crop in any COM
munity or section was totally unfair
to the producer of good grain. Under
the 'mine-run" basis Of purchasing
grain the producer of good grain re-
ceived no more for his clean, heavy
wheat than did the producer Of light
weight and otherwise inferior grain.
Instead of a premium upon heavy
grain, a premium was paid upon in
ferior products.
The application Of federal grain
standards is calculated to prevent such
inequality, and as experience is being
had under the grading system growers
are finding that the purpose sought is
being accomplished.
