 meeting of the Tyrone county council has been called for the pur- pose Of considering resolution in fla vor of ratification. while national sts and Sim Feiners of Omagh last night adopted a resolution demanding that the Dali Eireann arrange that the representatives of the counties .of Tyrone and Fermanagh should be allowed to voice their views

 The Ulster difficulty is no longer a problem in their party politics am confident there will be an en- ttrely new spirit in Ireland in regard to this difficulty.
 Tt will be in the best interests of the unionists of tho northeast cor. ner of the island to join hands with the great majority of their fellow countrymen, as the southern union ists have done, in building up the Irish Free State.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricultural
Careless and inaccurate billing or in
vOicing are responsible for much of the
delay and losses experienced by hay
shippers, says the bureau of markets
and crop estimates, United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Accordingly
the bureau has prepared the following
suggestions that apply to the shipment
of grain as well as hay:
Follow billing instructions in detail.
naming route and delivery road when
requested.
Forward bills of lading and invoices
promptly. >.
Prepare invoices carefully, stating
car initial and number, date of ship
ment, number of bales, total weight of
car, or of each particular kind or
Follow Instructions Closely.
II the billing instructions furnished
by the consignee are not clear, it is
generally a better plan to hold the
shipment until satisfactory instruc-
tons are received than TO take the
chance of billing it incorrectly. When
specific instructions as TO routing or
delivery are given they should be fol-
lowed in detail, as ii is frequently the
case that shipments arriving over
roads other than those specified must
be switched at considerable cost before
delivery can be made at the desired
location. In many markets hay ship
ments arriving in certain railroad
yards will not sell as advantageOusly
as when they arrive in other yards be-
cause of unfavOrable switching facili-
ties or because of the distance of the
yards from buyers warehouses. Com
mission merchants and dealers in the
markets are familiar with these fac
tors and. when possible, request billing
that will not subject their hay ship
ments to these handicaps.
Buyers may also desire TO reconsign
their hay upon arrival or change the
billing while the car is in transit; but
if the hay is shipped via another line
from which they cannot reconsign the
shipment, they may suffer a consider
able loss which can be charged back to
the shipper, If he has not followed
shipping instructions.
Forward Bill Of lading Promptly.
When the bill of lading has been
signed by the railroad agent it should
be forwarded promptly to the con-
signee, unless it is desired to attach a
draft to ii, In which case it should be
placed in the bank for transmittal to
the consignee at the earliest possible

ONIONS MUST BE WELL DRIED
Crop Should Be Thoroughly Cured Be-
fore They Are Placed in Storage,
Says Department.

Onions should be we'll ripened and
thoroughly cured i'm the field, in drying
sheds, or on Stat trays before they are
placed In storage, says the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Decay and deterioration result from
the storage of immature, soft, or
"thick-necked" onions and from i'm
perfect curing, bruising, or other in
iuries caused by improper methods
of handling in harvesting and drying
When in good condition for storage,
onions are well cured. hard, free from
loose skins or mechanical injuries
caused by rough or careless handling
They should be stored in Slated onion
crates or in shallow Slated bins. and
should be cooled TO temperature of
80 10 &c degrees as quickly as posi-
bic after they are placed in storage.
1t is best that they be placed in
frost-proof ventilated cellars, in we'll
insulated storage houses above ground,
or in cOld-Storage houses. In common
storage houses adequate means of ven
.ilation should be provided for the
quick cooling of the product and for
maintaining uniform temperature
during the storing season.
