THE WORD RUBBER

THE material which we now kno n

elastic gum. One Of tho earliest uses
Of this gum had been TO erase marks
on paper, and the chemist, Priestly, In
about l770, suggested that the material
which erased or rubbed" so effectively
should be called "lndla rubber" His
suggestion was adopted, and the name

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Growers of fruits and vegetables
are appreciating more aud more the
benefits possible through organization
IN marketing their products. 1t is
estimated that there are 1900
farmers cooperative buying and sell
ing associations in the United States
of which about 1000 represent fruit
and vegetable interests.
viii Find Bureau Grades Helpful.
Where the association is organized
for the purpose of selling, the
organizers often lose sight of the fact
that some standard must be adopted
Tor marketing their products. Indl-
siduals or organizations will find the
recommended or proposed grades
formulated by the bureau Of markets,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, very helpful as basis for their
packs or brands.
One Florida truck growers associa-
uon adopted this past season the
tentative United States grades for
cucumbers as basis for their Fancy"
and "ChOice" packs, marketing them
unoer their leading brand. An investl-
gator of the bureau of markets in
spected the association pack and the
individual shippers pack and advised
with them when any doubtful points
concerning grades were raised. This
inspection service gave the bureau
of markets an opportunity to deter
mine in the field whether the grades
as formulated would be practical, at
least under Florida conditions.
The association packed all cucum-
bers through a central packing shed,
each growers product thus being
graded by dlsinterested person. This
made for uniformity of the product.
Every car loaded by the association
was approximately 4 TO per cent
within the grade requirements. Nearly
every car inspected outside the central
packing house was below grade. rang
