UNIFORM PRODUCTS FAVORED
Find Better Market, Bring Higher
Prices and Are Handled at Less
Expense Than Others.

Without uniform standards for farm
produce there is no recognized basis
for the business of buying and selling,
SAYS the bureau of markets, United
States Department of Agriculture.
Standardization of products gives
seller and purchaser common Ian
guage. and a set quality upon which
prices may be compared and fixed. Ex-
perience has shown that the products
which are sold by grade find better
market, bring letter prices, and can be
handled at less expense than thOsH sold
without reference to standards. Stand
ards have already been fixed for many
farm commodities. such as American
Upland cotton, shelled corn, wheat,
oats, and for small fruit containers.
These Federal standards apply only
when the product is intended for in
terstate or foreign coSlmerce. 1t is
highly important to secure state CO
operation so that the provisions that
apply to a few products will apply to
all that are offered for sale.

WHITE ANTS INJURE TIMBERS
Insects Enter Wood Wherever II Comes
in Contact With Damp Earth
and Eat Into Beams.

Winged white ants are often OBJ
served flying about houses in spring,
and are sometimes supposed to have
come in from outside. The bureau Of
entomology of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture explains that
these winged insects really are Matched
inside the buildings, and usually are
to be taken as indicating nests Of
wingless white ants working destruc-
ton in the timbers.
These insects, which really are not
properly ants, enter the wood wher-
ever it comes in contact with damp
earth, and often eat into the center of
an upright beam without manifesting
their presence on the outside until the
wood is entirely ruined, and possibly
a settling and cracking Of the build
ing has resulted.
The department urges that build
ings be constructed with such fOunda-
lions that no wood touches the ground,
or IL 1t is necessary to use wood, that
II be impregnated with tar creosote.
Concrete floors should be laid on a
gravel base to prevent dampness and
cracking, and where cracks occur they
should be promptly filed.

The chief essentials to the proper
growth of chicks, according to the bull

illness, proper feed and water, shade
and free range. Growing chicks

Good Use for AirpIanes.

Thirty-three per cent of the 1913
forest fires sighted and reported last
year by airplanes operated from Sac
ramento, Cal, by the United States
forest service, were located within
quarter of a mile of the exact place,
as was later determined by actual
surveys on the ground. Ten per cent
Of the total number of fires was dis
covered by the air patrol before the
rangers were aware of them. Forty
two per cent was reported by radio,
while planes were in the air. Besides
acting as reporters, the planes were
used to direct fire fighting operations
and to patrol fire lines which were
built but needed watching. If the
planes reported a line to be clear.
the fire fighters were kept at work
elsewhere, but if the observer re-
ported that the fire had broken away,
force of men could be rushed to the
spot at once.

Since prohibition and the high cost
of sugar she has been more than an

and protect them from dampness and
storms of all kinds.
Chicks should never be crowded In
brood cOops, for crowding will cause
them to become Overheated, resulting
in improper growth and sometimes in
dead chicks.
Sickness or disease usually starts
in unclean quarters, and in such
places lice and mites are always more
plentiful, the bulletin says. The coops
should be cleaned and sprayed once a
week, and clean shavings, chaff, or
sand put on the floor. Examine the
chicks and houses often for lice and
mites, and if found they should be
gotten rid of at once. Farmers Bull
letin ITO gives directions for fighting
lice and mites.
Feed Right for Rapid Growth.
The three kinds Of feeds most nee
essary for rapid growth are grain
feed, green feed and dry mash. A
grain mixture should be fed night and
morning, giving as large quantity as
the chicks will eat clean, but 10 more.
A good mixture for growing chicks
consists of three parts cracked corn,
two parts wheat and two parts hulled
oats. Kafir corn or rolled or hulled
barley may be substituted for hulled
oats. A supply of fresh green feed is
almost as necessary as grain for grow
ing chicks. They obtain plenty Of 1t
