also of the grade No. l causes the ship
per n heavy loss.
The SPECIALISTS believe that CONNER
cial grades for any kind of hay should
be made so that the physical slimlta-
lions in production and preparation
will be properly recognized, and that
such grades should be uniformly APP
piled. and not influenced whatever by
the state of the market.
Causes of Wide Margins.
Most shippers in the irrigated sec
lions seem willing to handle hay at
gross profit of 81 per ton if the chance
o. losses on account of reflections
could be eliminated. The reflections
are almost always based upon the
claim that the hay is not up 10 grade,
but occur almost entirely upon de-
Ginning market. With only the meager
protection against this practice and
resultant loss, furnished by inspection
services maintained by the trade or
CARNATIONS of the various markets,
he is compelled to raise his margin of
gross profit TO 50 or So per ton.
When the producer notes the wide
difference between the price which he
has received for his hay and the price
quoted at the adjacent market. he
feels that the shipper or dealer Is TAX
ing advantage of him and is making
too large profit. The producers de-
sire To share in this supposedly large
profit is one of the principal causes
of the cooperative wave that is now
agitating southwestern alfalfa grow
ers. When this desire is stimulated by
an enthusiastic, prospective manager
IL seems to be not very difficult mat
ter to form an organization of pro-
ducers to ship and market hay.
Cooperative Marketing Association.
Cooperative market associations
can no doubt market their OWN hay as

Quoted from the proceeds of their

Many of the irrigated sections OF
the Southwest do not ship more than
from 1000 to 5000 cars of hay each
year and this business is in some in
stances divided between two or three
shippers. who also conduct other bnsi-
nesses in connection, thus greatly re,
ducing overhead expenses. Co-opera'
tive shipping associations are being or
ganized in several of these projects
The cure for the present marketing

the line of better standards and thell
impartial applications, say the market

DAIRY cows LIKE VARIrTY
Few SpeckIed Apples, Beets, Carrots
and Other Worthless Foodstuffs
Are Delicacies.

A dairy COW appreciates variety in
her ration almost as much as does n
human being. Hay, grain and silage
are good and certainly should consti-
tute the main part of the ration. But
a few speckled apples, beets, carrots,
small potatoes, and other worthless
foodstuffs all are delicacies to the
cow. The dairyman who thinks of
his cows in this way, not only keeps
them in flOurishing condition, but is
repaid Immediately by an increase in
milk yield.

WHITE GRUB is DISASTROUS
Especially Injurious to Strawberries
When Soils Have Previously
Been in Grass.

The white grub is frequently quite
disastrous to strawberry beds, espe-
cially when the plants are put out
on soils that have previously been in
some KIND of grass crop. The larvae
may be very abundant in soils Of this
kind, and when the grass is turned I'M
der and the soil planted to strawber,
ries there is not enough food to sup
ply the remaining grubs, and the re-
suit Is that they feed upon the roots
of the plants.

CPrepared by the United States Depart
ment of AgricultureD
The irrigated areas of the south
western United States can produce a
high market grade Of alfalfa hay, hut
there are several difficult problems
that must be solved in order prOtita-
bly, to market the hay, say specialists
of the bureau of markets and crop es-
Inmates. United States Department OF
Agriculture.
Method of BaIing.
The first step which has a direct
bearing upon the marketing of alfal-
ia is ballng. The rainfall in the South
west is exceedingly light during the
hay-making season, and for this rea-
son much Of the hay is baled out OF
the windrow or cock.
When hay Is baled from the wind
row in sufficiently green state to save
all the leaves, it cannot be pressed
tightly because of the danger of
heating, and shippers therefore fire.
quently experience considerable diff
Guilty in loading cars with the mini
mum weight for which they pay
charges. Hay which has been stacked
and allowed to dry can be baled more
compact. hut in baling stack hay many
of the leaves shatter because of the
dryness. According to the application
by many inspectors of the present
grade rules, this hay IS of a lower
grade than when the leaves cling to
the stems. notwithstanding the fact
that the leaves may be contained In
the bale.
Sources of Trouble.
Bleached hay, together with weeds
causes considerable trouble in mar
keting alfalfa. 1t is well known that
alfalfa hay beaches quickly when ex
posed to bright sunlight, but there is
a wide difference of opinion as to just
the amount of nutrient that is lost
in bleaching.
Commercial grade rules, however
are based in part upon this factor
Producers and shippers In these sec

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
TARTAR"

uTA,Rs a r., as s.,S applied s1,t to
inhabit middle and CEN
trail Asia, is one of those words
In which wrongly assumed
derivation has modified the
spelling and the very shape in
which we now have 1t, for the
people usually designated by
this name are not 'Tartars,"
but "Taters."
The Interpolation of the "r"
In the first syllable came about
when these hordes burst into
Europe during the Thirteenth
century and swept everything
before them. Many persons
claimed that the ravages of the
invading cavalry constituted a
fulfillment of the prophecy In
the ninth chapter of Revelation
concerning the opening of the
bottomless pit and the loosing Of
the inhabitants of the Internal
regions. From this belief en-
sued the change of their name
from 'Taters" to "Tartars," the
latter being an outgrowth of
Tartarus, or hell. whence these
implacable hordes were sup
posed TO have come.
The bravery of the invaders,
together with their stole disre-
gard for pain and the manner in
which they turned upon their
guards when captured, also gave
rise to the expression "catch a
Tartar" or he caught Tartar"
which is I'm use to this day as
a synonym for being taken by
surprise. particularly when
person thinks that he has made
an easy conquest.
