BUSINESS BASIS IN
 SELECTION OF FARM
Many Serious Errors Made by
 Young Men in Moving.
Know Only One Set of Conditions and Are Not Able to Weigh Ac- curately All New Factors
 That Must Be Considered.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 Many farmers, especially the youn- CT men, in moving from one region to another make serious errors in select ing farms, not because their judgment is naturally poor. but largely because they know only ono set of conditions and are not able to weigh accurately all the new factors that must De taken into account. say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. Here the science of farm management is helpful. in that from the fnrm-management view point the farm Is put on business basis.
 In doing this, however. the home side of the question must always be kept in mind. The farm home and the farm business are inseparable. A desirable farm. from business standpoint, is nevertheless undesir- able if it has no social or community able living conditions are of little or no advantage unless accompanied by a successful farm business.
 A farm may have fine buildings, good water supply, excellent roads, and other such assets. yet if the soil is rocky shallow, or naturally in fertile. so that it's productive poSsi- bilties are distinctly limited, there will he no adequate income for en- toying the other advantages More over, these physical Limitations are enduring, while the needed improve ments, such as buildings and roads. can be added as means are provided.

PICK AND PREPARE BERRIES
Care Must Be Exercised by Grower In Shipping BIackberries by
 Parcel Post.

If a grower wishes to ship black berries by parcel post, he should ex- ercise care in picking and packing the berries. Carelessness In picking and handling blackberries sometimes causes more injury to the fruit than does the treatment given while in transit, say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. Success in shipping blackberries Is dependent largely on favorable weath- CT conditions and the way in which the fruit is handled in transit.
 The shipping weight of 16-quart crate of blackberries is from ? to 30 pounds. and the charge for postage to points within the first and second postal zones is from 31 to 34 cents The cost for crate and postage on a 16-Quart crate of blackberries will vary. therefore. from 5S to 64 cents. It may be possible at times to ship more than one kind of berries in . crate. such as . combination ship ment,

defined by congress, and in those states where an attempt has been made to describe the manner in which the measure should be heaped the phra- seology generally is vague and indefi- nite. The heap has been referred to as cone, the base being the top of the measure, and the height depend ing upon the nature of the article when piled "as high as may be with out special effort or design" Such vegetables as sweet potatoes undSj this definition might be piled so high that the heap would be as large as the measure itself.
 In view of the difficulties which sre necessarily encountered in attempting to secure uniform method of filling or packing standard containers, it is generally recognized that weight Is the only really definite basis of sale, and for that reason the pound or hundredweight should be used where this is practicable. An exception may be noted in regard to products which are carefully graded as to size, in which case the sales may be made satisfac- torily by numerical count.

 While the Washington was lying off Cape Hatteras a sailor was washed overheard in heavy sea. Risking his life in the waves. MT Spafford plunged overheard and succeeded in rescuing the seaman. His bravery Was recognized In letter of com mcndation from the secretary of the navy. He rose to the rank of lieu tenant commander.
 In 1914 AIr. Spafford resigned from the navy to study law at Columbia university.
 With the start of the war Mir Spaf- ford offered his services to his coun- try and he was made lieutenant commander in the navy reserve corps. He served for a time as a member of the board of inspection and survey, which was in charge of the selection of ships to be purchased by the government. He directed the tit- ting out of the first 9 110foot sub marine chasers built for distance serv- ice and established submarine chaser base at New London, Conn.
 When the American navy became active in the Straits of Otranto, Mir. Spaff0rd was sent to establish sub marine chaser base at Corfu, Greece. and later became chief of staff of hat station. He was in charge of all Operations and was on the first Amer ican submarine chaser which de- stroyed an enemy ship after locating 1t by the process of sound contact.

 MT. Deegan, when asked to give some of his working principles, said:
 Il insist upon every post being rep resented at county meeting held once month. l visit every post at least once or twice month and for the benefit of Legionnaires have arranged for a legal committee to take up the principal troubles of the boys, without cost l find that Legion men have absolute confidence in their officers. provided they know that they do not seek political office at their expense To that end I make every effort to keep the organization free from men holding appointlve offices.
 Personal contact with your post is absolutely necessary - telling them what Is going on, listening to com plaints &d abolishing wherever pos slble parliamentary procedure, because delegates oftentimes will come to meet ings and fear to speak on Il subject which is vital 10 the interests of the organization, because they do not know whether they are in order"
 During the war Mir. Deegan was at tached to the staff of Gen. George W. Goethals and was assigned to inspect the army bases along the Atlantic coast and Inland army depots, He was discharged a major in 1919.
