Bill have just been held. They
passed off without disturbance. but
can hardly be considered to settle the
problem. The representatives chosen
for the northern parliament were
mainly Unionists, with some Sein
Feiners and a few socialists. The
representatives to the southern parli-

Sein Feiners. The only imperialists
were the representatives from Trinity
College in Dublin. When they meet
they will not be likely to take the oath
of allegiance to the crown and diff
ferent situation will arise.

COLORADO ADOPTS
U. S. POTATO GRADES
Eleven States Now Use Federal
Standards Officially.
New Division of Marketing in the
Mountain State Also Is Prepar-
ing Grades for Apples and
Other Kinds of Fruit.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Adoption OF United States potato
grades in Colorado has increased the
amount Of the crop marketed on this
basis by more than 100000 bushels,
according to the August estimate of
the bureau of markets and crop esti-
mates, United States Department of
Agriculture, and raises to IL the num-
ber of states that have made the
United States grades official. AL
though the use of the federal stand
ards has been optional since the days
Of the United States food administra-
ton, they are now used officially for
grading 80 per cent of the total crop
and unofficiaIly for 80 to 45 per cent
more.
Following the lead of other west
ern states, Colorado created at the
last session of the legislature a divi-
Zion of marketing and provided for
the inspection of fruits and vegetables
on the basis of state grades. The new
division started work in July, and
hearings were held in producing sec
tions throughout the state for the pur-
pose of establishing practical stand
ards that would be satisfactory to the
trade.
These conferences led to the prompt
adoption of the United States grades
recommended by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture for pota-
toes, onions, cabbages, head lettuce,
rough and washed celery, cucumbers
and fresh tomatoes. State standards
were also promulgated for beans,
cauliflower and sacked vegetables.
Apple grades have been prepared
also by the Colorado division of mar
keting, in cooperation with the bu-
reau of markets and crop estimates,
after a series of hearings, and grades
for boxed and bulk stock will be an

A choice quality of hay will sell
well in almost any market. Under
present standards lower grades are
more difficult to dispose of. Some
markets have better demand for GER
tain grades than others. 1t is i'm
portant that the shipper knows at
what market the best demand exists
for the quality of hay he has to offer
Markets which have a demand only
from users of horses can use only the
better grades Of timothy; markets
which have a dairy trade can use
markets with Il demand from feeders
of stock cattle can use the lower
grades of timothy and the various
grades of prairie. In central western
markets the best grades of prairie
take the place of the best grades of
timothy for horse feed, and, in the far
west grain hay is used for the same
purpose.
Although a few markets have a de-
mand from certain sources for low
grade, musty, mowburnt, or very
weedy hay, such hay. generally sells
common grade of straw. Grassy hay
and some grades of prairie can be
sold as packing hay but the prices
Obtainable will not justify a long haul
at present freight rates.
