The increased cost OF production
and the large commercial crop Of
late cabbage in the North are
factors which necessitate serious
thought upon the part of Southern
growers as to the best method to
be followed in marketing their 1921
crop. an idea of deep interest to
the markets of Washington.
Official estimates show that the
Northern crop of 1920 was fully
double that of 1919 and a fourth
larger than that Of 1918. A COM
parison Of market prices of Janu-
ary 3. 1920. and 1921. for Chicago
and New York bring out the i'm
portance OF reserve supply as one
OF the price factors. Chicago was

year, while New York quoted 800
a ton last year against SIS 10 SIG
this year. The regent increase in
freight rates further compiicates
the problem for the cabbage ship

SERIOUS PROBLEMS AHEAD.
Under these conditions. the
Southern cabbage grower faces
the problem OF what Is to be done
with the crop already planted.
Could any Improvement be effected
in the handling which would pro-
mote an increase in market de-
mand? Would the adoption of
standard grades, properly enforced.
assist in rolling the crop? If SO,
are there any grades that might
meet the conditions existing in
Southern cabbage sections?
The same questions at one time
confronted the California citrus
grower and the Northwestern box
apple grower. Their problem was
solved by organization, standard
ization. advertising and dis.ribu-
tion. 80
Standardization and organiza-
tion in marketing are very closely
related. Because of a lack Of a
uniformly graded product, grow
ers' associations have frequently
to their failure. standard prod
uct provides a definite basis on
which to sell.
TWO GRADES PROPOSED.
Cabbage growers may believe
that their product does not lend
itself to grading and IL grading
means the separation of the stock
into various classes. they are un-
doubtedly right. However, inves-
LEGATIONS conducted by the u. s.
, Bureau of Markets in the leading
Southern producing areas as well
as in the larger markets, indicate
that two standard grades would

America Worked Of
 Poor Coal on Europe
 and Hurt Her Trade
By AssocInted Press

Copenhagen, August 13-"The United States lost a great opportun- ity to sell her surplus coal lead ing Danish importer told the Asso- .ciated Press correspondent here to- day "because in 1919 and 1920 when American sellers had the European market a their mercy they made the mistake of sending to Europe coal of very poor quality and charged exorbitant prices for it."
 As result of this policy. he said during the recent British coal strike when practically no coal was obtaln- able from Great Britain, hardly any Scandinavian orders for coal were placed in America despite the fact that stocks on hand were nearly ex- hausted. importers preferred to run the risk of running short to taking their chances on ordering fuel from America and receiving coal of an in ferior quality. If American coal Is to regain the reputation 1t has lost in European markets there must be an effective official guarantee of ts quality based on analysis" says the bureau of mines.
 The Danish commercial adviser in New York recently reported that "!t is difficult to blame any individual American exporter for the general conditions prevailing in the American coal export trade, conditions for which America will pay by the loss of 8 market of great importance to the nations coal industry"

Today the country is awakening to the fact that the human foot is a delicate structure and must be cared for with as much intelligence as any other part of the body. < &
 Too many women are suffering from foot troubles. The extent of the artificial-appliance business is one proof of that. &
 Specialists declare that 75 per cent of women, and Roodly number of men, have foot troubles which they weren't born with.
 The human foot is mot to blame The trouble lies in the kind of shoes worn by so many people.
 It is calculated that the average person takes from 1000 to 5000 steps a day. There are 26 bones in each foot and Nature requires that each bone play its part in every step.
 The feet are one of the important nerve eenters of the body Prominent nerve specialists often start their treatment on the feet of their patients. N
 A greater degree of happiness will be found among people when all shoes are made to harmonize with the human foot. instead of compelling the poor foot to as- sune the shape of shoe.

In fact, it is only 1,4sO miles from the coast of Ireland, so greatly does the At lantic shrink off the coast of New foundland.
