Will Establish Tentative Grades For
Tobacco.

An agreement to investigate the
grading and marketing of tobacco in
the State of Pennsylvania and adjoin-
ing States for the purpose of estab-
fishing tentative grades for the prin-
cipal types of tobacco grown in Penn
sylvania has been entered into be-
tween the Bureau of Markets and
Crop Estimates, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, and the Bureau
OF Markets of the Pennsylvania De-
partment of Agriculture.
The investigation will be conduct
ed to bring about a proper correla-
tion between the Pennsylvania grades
and the tentative grades that may
be formulated in other States, so that
a single system of comparable market
grades for all the principal types
OF Americangrown tobacco may be
effected. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture will pay the sal
airy of the specialist in charge of the
work; the expenses of the investiga-
ton will be borne by the Pennsylvania
Bureau of Markets.

S. Dairy Association in cooperation
with the State Agricultural Colleges
has been to foster the introduction
and growth of crops for which there
is wide and steady demand, or for
which a demand can be easily built
up locally. The Spanish pimiento
formerly imported from Spain. is an
example.
Club girls in the South we're first
interested six years ago in grow
ing pimientos by way of variety in
their club gardens. Their work gave
an impetus to local use of the peppers
both fresh and canned, and they soon
found that the pimiento was a valu-
able addition to chutney, creole sauce
and similar products which found a
ready market. In 1919 Southern
club girls prepared over 10000
pints of canned goods in which pim-
ientos were used, and in 1929 over
100000 pint jars of whole pimientos
and pimiento-flavored relishes. The
girls have found that the pimintos
may be kept fresh during the winter
months by packing them in sawdust
which is scrupulously cleaned and
thoroughly dry.

NAVAL STRIKERS TAKE PLANTS

The strike of the dockyard work
ers has turned out to be the greatest
labor upheaval in the history of ia
pan. At Kobe where 10000 went on
a strike the workshops were seized
and operations started under a soviet
plan. The strike was called to force
the companies to recognize the labor
unions and agree to collective bar
gaining and profit sharing. Other
shipyards followed suit. Work on
warships was suspended. A sort of
sympathetic strike was staged by the
rikisha pullers of Osaka, 5000 in
number, who demanded the recogni-
ton of their union as well as better
working conditions and wages.

New Breed OF Poultry Developed by

Beltsville, Md. 1t has been named
by Secretary Wallace after the origi-

egg. White Plymouth Rock, Silver
Gray Dorking and White Leghorn
were the breeds used as foundation
stock.
The fowls are larger than Leg

Test Your Duck Eggs With The Large
End I'D.

All duck eggs should be tested at
least twice during incubation, pre-.
/ ferably on the seventh and fourteenth
days, and the infertile eggs and those
with dead germs removed. Dead
germs in duck eggs decompose very
rapidly, and are often detected by
their odor.
Duck eggs having pure white shells
are often tested as early as the fourth
or fifth day, and the infertile eggs
sold to bakers. Infertile eggs make
good feed for ducklings, and can be
used for cooking. The eggs are test
ed with the large end up, so that the
size of the air cell may be seen, as
well as the condition of the embryo
duckling, specialists in the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture say. Testing
should be done in a dark room.
The infertile egg when held before
the tester will appear perfectly clear,
much the same as a fresh egg. while
a fertile egg will show a small dark
spot known as the embryo, with a
mass of little blood veins extending in
all directions, if the embryo is liv-
ing. If dead the blood settles away
from the embryo toward the edge of /.
he yolk, forming in most cases an
irregular circle of blood known as a /
blood ring. The eggs containing
strong, living embryos are dark and .
partly filled up after the fourteenth
lay, and show a clear, distinct line of
between the air cell and
he growing embryo. while dead
'erms show development only in part
md lack this clear, distinct outline. !.

Discount Price Paid For Grain Of In
fcrior Quality.

u
fcrior Quality.
While equipment for cleaning and
conditioning grain is expensive coun-
try elevators will find that its use
frequently improves the quality of the
grain and increases its market value,
says specialists of the Bureau Of
Markets, United States Department
of Agriculture. Sometimes grain
comes to the elevator in poor condi-
tion, often being dirty, dusty, or with
high moisture content, and unless the
quality is improved by cleaning or
drying the grain can not be disposed
of advantageously.
Moreover, grain containing i'm
purities. foreign matter, or a high
moisture content is quite likely to
become hot in transit, which greatly
reduces its value and frequently re-
suits in serious financial loss. If the
elevator is not provided with suita-
BILE equipment for this process, such
grain must be shipped in the condi-
tion in which it is received.
The farmer should not place all re-
sponsibility for cleaning grain on the
elevator it is believed. 1t should be
remembered that elevator managers
do not pay grain prices for the dirt !
and water found in a farmers grain. |
The price should be established by .
taking into consideration the neces-
sary expense of placing the grain in
marketable condition. The farmer
who delivers clean, dry, sound grain
should receive a premium over the
price paid to the more careless farm
er who delivers grain of inferior quail
ity, specialists say.

Medium Sailing For Ijutter Liked
Best BY Consumers.

Best BY Consumers.
Butter that is too highly sailed is
difficult to move in the ordinary
trade channels, and creamery men
would do well to guard against high
sailing unless they have a special
outlet which calls for that kind, say
specialists of the Bureau of Markets
and Crop Estimates, United tates De-
partment of Agriculture. A gritty
condition of the salt in butter serious
ly Injuries its market value.
A number of butter receivers are
advising shippers not to fill their
butter tubs too full. During the sum-
mer shipments are often exposed to
the heat of the sun at some point in
transit, and the butter at the top of
the tub becomes very soft and runs
over the edge of the tub when
handled. Such shipments are brought
to receivers stores in bad condition,
often showing a heavy shrinkage in
weight, resulting in a direct financial
loss to the creamery which could easi-
ly have been avoided by filling the
tubs properly. This condition rare
ly occurs in carlot shipments. When
less-than-carlot shipments are made
the butter should be thoroughly chill
ed before shipping.

Dor goes for nothing, say experts of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. Cloth bags are the best
containers Tor large seeds, such as
peas, beans, and corn. They should
be used also for larger quantities
of small seeds, but for smaller lots,
paper envelopes, made at home or
purchased, are most desirable. Ordi-
nary letter envelopes are fairly salts
factory, but usually are not gummed
so as to close completely, and if
handled carelessly small seeds may
sift out of them.
Correct labelling is of paramount
Every envelope or con-
tainer should show the kind and
variety of seed, the date, including
month and year, when harvested, and
the place where grown. For the cloth
bags, a slip of paper bearing all this
information should be inserted with
the seed. 1t is very convenient also
to have a tag on the outside of the
bag, but on no account should the
inner label be omitted, because of the
liability of loss of the outside tag.

Stored Potatoes Need Air To Check
Sweating i'm Bin

1t is a bad practice to store pota-
toes in large bins or piles, the United
States Department of Agriculture adj
vises. Not infrequently potatoes are
piled to a depth of 10 to Is feet, the
pile being correspondingly large in
the other two dimensions. When
stored in this manner they are al
most certain to go through a rather
violent sweating or curing process,
during the course of which the tu-
bers in the central portion of the pile
are frequently subjected to a dan
gerously high temperature.
