KILL OUT PERENNIAL WEEDS
Quack Grass and Canada Thistle Are
Most Troublesome and Offer
Greatest Resistance.

Perennial weeds offer the greatest
resistance and require more thorough
and persistent effort to destroy them.
Two of the most troublesome of our
common weeds are qnack grass and
Canada thistle. The former may be
distinguished from other grasses If its
characteristic features are known.
Whatever method will destroy quack
grass will also kill Canada thistle or
any other perennial weed.

crop is the most certain method Of
eradication on large areas and may
be used to good advantage except
on sandy soils and those continuously

PACKAGES MUST
SHOW QUANTITY
Various Fruits and Vegetables
Must Be Marked Plainly to
Comply With Law.
SHIPPERS DISREGARD RULES
Every Opportunity Has Been Given
to Trade to Get in Line With Pro-
visions Of Amendment--Some
Shipments Are Exempt.

Fruits and vegetables in package
form. when shipped into interstate
commerce, should bear plain and
conspicuous statement of the quantity
OF the contents in each package, ac-
cOrding to statement made by Off
Gals of the bureau of chemistry, Uni
ted States department of agriculture,
who are charged with the enforcement
OF the federal food and drugs act. In
structions have been issued showing
how various fruits and vegetables in
different styles of packages may be
marked in order to comply fully with
the net weight amendment to tho law
and also showing what shipments of
vegetables as ordinarily marketed are
exempt from the net weight provisions.
These instructions have been distribut-
ed widely among fruit and vegetable
growers and shippers.
The bulk of the fruits and vegeta-
bles now shipped into interstate COM
merce are marked in accordance with
the law, say officials. but some ship
pers have overlooked or are disregard
ing this provision of the law. Since
this amendment has been in effect for
six years and every opportunity has
been given to the trade to get in line
with its provisions it is the opinion of
the officials that there is now no ex-
cuse for any shipper failing to mark
the quantity of the contents on pack
ages of fruits and vegetables shipped
within the jurisdiction of the law.
How to Mark Packages.
Fruits and vegetables in baskets,
hampers, drums. cartons. boxes, crates
and barrels may in general be marked
by either weight s0redry measure, or
when packed in barrels may be marked
in terms of the United States standard
barrel and it's subdivisions of third,
half or three-quarters. Statements of
dry measure should be in terms of the
United States standard bushel and its
customary subdivisions of half-bushel,
pecks, quarts, pints or half-pints. If
the quantity of the contents be stated
by weight or measure. i, should be
marked in terms of the largest unit
contained in the package. except that
in the case of an article with respect
to which there exists definite trade

FISH MEAL GOOD AS

ners but he knows how to order a
meal as well as anyone. He is in
fair way to demand fish course to
supplement his salad and vegetable
diet. He will take his fish in the form
of fish meal, the refined by-product
made from sound, wholesome raw
material at the sardine, tuna, and sal
mon canneries, or from the menhaden.
The fish meal is not to be confused

tie and hogs. Formerly, the cannery
waste was all made into "scrap" for
fertilizer purposes. but the bureau of
chemistry, United States department
Of agriculture. knowing the extremely
high protein content Of the scrap, has
been active in converting this material
into a high-grade protein feed. The
cleaned, selected portion is ground to a
fine, palatable meal which may be
used to replace tankage in hog, poul-
try, or dairy rations.
Fish meal has been recommended
as supplementary ration before now,
but popular prejudice against badly
prepared product has discouraged its
USE The department of agriculture
has proved by feeding experiments
that fish meal equals the high-priced
tankage as ration ingredient. and
better methods of selecting and milling
have removed the causes of prejudice.
The oil content of the meal adds
materially to it's feeding value. So far
the experiments have shown that the
meal does not faint the animal prod
uct, whether it be pork, butter, eggs.
or milk. Moreover, by diverting the
fish meals to his animals instead of
supplying, it, directly to his land as.
fertilizer, the farmer loses but trife
of it's fertilizing value and gains its
entire feeding value-thus making the
material yield two profits in the place
Of one.

will be a much more satisfactory
condition than the inflated times

don't like the idea Of paying ten

take every third Eoushel for their

farmers version, as those who
