REDUCE LOSSES IN SHIPPING
More Careful Handling In Harvesting
and Packing Spinach ls Urged
by Specialists.

Losses in long-distance shipments
of spinach can be greatly reduced by
careful handling in harvesting and
packing together with effective re-
frigeration in transit, according to
specialists of the bureau of markets
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture. Decay and deterioration
In transit caused by the development
Of Shiny soft rot cause serious losses
to shippers in some sections.
"This decay develops rapidly in
transit when temperature conditions
are favorable" say investigators Of
the bureau. 1T starts at places where
the leaves have been bruised or
wounded, and it very frequently fol.
lows attacks of blight or other field
diseases. Other causes of deteriora.
ton in transit are following and wilt
ing of the leaves. Prompt handling
and shipment at low temperature
largely reduce losses from these
causes"

CPrepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The hay crop, even when the labor
supply is normal, causes more worry
anxiety, and disappointment than any
other crop. The time for harvesting is
comparatively short. Other crops re-
ouire attention at the same time. And
the weather Is to be reckoned with.
A great deal of labor is wasted every
year during hay harvest, say speciai-
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture, not because of actual
idleness on the part of the workers.
but because labor is expended unnec-
essarily on operations that do not
utilize it to the best advantage. III an
old method can be superseded by a
new one that will enable the same
number of men to accomplish more
work in the same length of time, or
fewer men to accomplish the same
work In the same length of time. II
will mean more hay saved, more
profit to the farmer, and better con-
dition for the country.
Shift Burden from Man to Horse.
Although there is a scarcity of man
labor. there are still plenty of horses
on most farms, and herein largely lies
the solution of the problem. On farms
where considerable hay is grown
methods must be adopted by which tho
greater part Of the heavy labor is done
by horses. This will necessitate TIT
general use of certain types of labor
saving machinery, some of them no
so common In the East, which nav
been thoroughly tested and proves
satisfactory in the western part of tn
United States. The small hay grower
however. need not make very heav
investment in new haying apparatus
for by rearranging the working OF hi
crew and using a little more hors
labor for the hard work he can ad
considerably to the efficiency of III
crew.
Here are some suggestions made b
the specialists for avoiding of labc
in haymaking.
Do not run two or more mower
close together. If the front mower ha

the horses and the men can handle
about 80 per cent more hay.
Save Labor on the Stack.
The push rake furnishes the most
economical method of hauling hay to
the stack, barn, or hay press if the
distance is not much more than one
fourth of a mile. One man, or boy,
with a good push rake and team
used to the work will handle three
times as much hay as two men with a
small rack on high-wheeled wagon,
Stacking hay with a push rake and
an overshot stacker mounted on wheels
eliminates nearly all of the back
breaking work of the old pitchfork
method. With yield of one to one
and a half tons to the acre, two men
on the stack can easily handle all the
hay brought in by three push rakes,
accomplishing q vast saving In labor
and hay over the pitchfOrk method.
Another method not so good but still
vastly better than the pitchfork method
is a stacker equipment with double
harpoon fork. The outfit can be made
at home and will cost very little COM
pared with the labor it saves. but
harder work is necessary to get the
hay on the stack than with the over,
shot stacker.
When hay is to be baled from the
field, one man by working in the after
noon, can round up enough hay which

CHIEF CAUSE OF SWARMING
Lack Of Ventilation and Space for
Queen Bee to Lay Eggs En-
courage RestIessness.

The main causes leading to swarm
ing are lack of ventilation, lack Of
space for the queen bee to lay eggs,
insufficient room for storing honey.
and over-abundance Of drones or a
queen bee that has become too old.
To prevent swarming therefore, these
conditions must be avoided, suggests
the Extension Service beekeeping
specialist. The queen alone is normal
ly capable of laying eggs, and for
this reason swarming is necessary to
make new colonies and perpetuate the
race. The old queen always comes
out with the first swarm.

Scientific Tests for Wheat,

In order to determine accura te-
" the quality and value of each
of the $50 different varieties of
wheat grown in the United
States, measured in terms of the
quality and quantity of bread
produced, government experts at
Washington have set up minia-
ture milling and baking plants.
Samples of wheat are converted
into flour which is working into
d Tough and then baked with up
to-date equipment. The bread
is tested for color, texture, flavor
and expansion in baking. Thus
accurate information is obtained
tor checking up grain grading
records. The Investigations. it
is expected, will prove valuable
not only to wheat growers and
millers but to bread consumers
everywhere.
