ing his own product as he sees Mt
No uniformity has been practiced in
handling or in selling, and produce
has not been sold through established
agents or channels. Sometimes the
growers have a market and sometime
they do not. Sometimes they are
able to sell graded products and
sometimes they are able to sell prod
ucts ungraded, and when sold un-
graded they say: "Why grade? I got
as much as the other fellow and did
I not grade" But when prices are
received it is found that they range
from eighteen cents to three dollars
and a half for bushel of cucum-
bers, which cucumbers if graded
and handled through an organization
would probably have sold at prices
ranging from a dollar and half to
three dollars and half,-a saving of
thousands of dollars to the growers
and a saving also to the consumers in
the markets, who possibly paid as
good a price for poor stock. as for
good stock.

country is in shelled corn, there be-
ing a demand for this grain at prac-
tically all times. AS a result shelled
corn nearly always sells for better
prices than corn on the ear.
Practically all sales Of shelled corn
are now made on the basis of the
Federal grades established under the
authority Of the United States Grain
Standards Act, which requires that
these grades must be used for all in
terstate shipments sold by grade. This
covers the bulk Of the business and
even though no grade is mentioned in
other transactions, the buyer usually
compares mentally the quality Of the
corn offered with graded corn, and
makes his price accordingly. Where
he, is offered ungraded corn which he
can not examine before purchasing,
he either refuses to buy it or makes
the price sufficiently low to avoid
chances of loss. From these facts it
can be seen that it is usually to the
ADVANTAGE of the seller to shell his
corn and sell it by grade. This re-
CURES that he be familiar with the
Federal standards. Information re-

HOW TO MARKET CORN
Shelled. Graded Corn Brings Best
Prices

Clemson College, June 27.-Infor-
nation frequently reaches the Bureau
of Markets that farmers in the South
eastern states are having difficulty in
marketing their corn, and investiga-
ton has shown, says F. L. Harkey,
agent in marketing, that in a great
majority of these cases the trouble is
due to the grain not being prepared
properly for market.
Many farmers apparently desire to
sell their corn on the ear without
removing the husks. Some corn is
sold in that way, but the demand is
usually much smaller than the sup
ply. Consequently buyers frequently
obtain corn of this kind at almost any
price they are willing to pay.
The bulk of the corn trade in this

SuIllSl.
Through a growers organization,
and only through such, can we per-
feet our grading and handling. If
the time should ever come when each
grower could market his products in
dependently Of his neighbors, it would
be only after he had spent some years
in an organization and had become
skilled in his methods and had learn
ed through cooperation what he
could not have learned otherwise.
Since the organization of the united
States Department Of Agriculture It's
workers have realized the truth OF
the above statements. 1t has been
for several years the work of special
lists in the Department to instruct
growers in the better handling and
packing Of their products for market.
Rut they have found that they could
make little or no progress in a COM
munity until a cooperative spirit was
developed and some kind Of a grow
ers' organization formed. With an or
ganization the score of more grades
that one might find in the cucumber
shipments, for example, could be
eliminated by employing expert grad
ers who could be instructed by trained
government specialists. All cucum-
bers would then be uniform in grade,
marketing would be much easier, and
certain loss would be eliminated.
An example of cooperation IN 4
certain part of South Carolina TINS
season, as compared with lack OF
co-operation in a certain other part of
South Carolina will illustrate. In
the southern part of the state we
have a truckers organization that
shipped nearly s4,O0O,o0o worth of
produce this past season. This pro-
duce included cucumbers, cabbage
and Irish potatoes. The organization
has nearly two hundred members, has
graders, inspectors and market
agents. and each member has learned
certain lessons about grading and
handling. He knows what it means
to put up a poor grade and have it
turned down by the inspectors. He
is willing to pay the price of cooper
alton, for he realizes that it has
meant money to him to market MS
crop in this manner. When ap-
preached he says that there is no
other way to market produce.
In other sections we have several
hundred truck growers shipping near
" as much produce as is shipped by
the organization referred to above
but having no organization. Eacn
grower prefers to ship independent

NEW WAY TO FOIL ROBBERS
Hafd'to Get Away With SatcheI That
49, Eis EplEpped With Powerful
sssSsz<t-t'@ Alarm Gong

Holdup men who have been special
king in the robbery Of bank meSsen-
gers and payroll carriers will not re-
ioice in the invention of the latest
Security satchel, designed, as ii is, to
prevent their silent getaway, says the
Scientific American. The satchel is
ordinary enough in appearance, save
that ii is Of steel, IN the lid it car
ries monster bell, operated by two
dry cells, which are capable of'ringing
the alarm continuously for six hours.
The switch is hidden In the grip
handle and has two buttons so ar
ranged that when the messenger dis
covers that he is being held up he can
instantly push one Of them.
The alarm viii so Off and stay off,
and can be heard for a distance of
half mile. The second button is for
previous adjustment and leads to a
delayed action that holds The ringing
up for ten or twenty seconds-euough
TO enable the messenger to make his
getaway from the immaculate range Oh
the holdup man before the latter dis.
covers what he is up against.
We must agree with the inventor
that no crook is likely TO march
through the streets carrying ringing
satcheI, or to get very far with It If
he attempts it,
Certainly, until the stick-up artists
learn how to put the muller ON the
bell instantly and permanently the
new trick ought to be effective. And
that IL all that could be asked, for the
man who is coping with a robber
must expect to change his plan of cam
paign as fast as the thief learns what
1t is.
