Grading for tho Club Markets.

.
In order that the club markets Of
our State may continue to be a sue
cess, the producers must realize that
the patrons want first-class products,
properly graded and put up in the
right kind Of containers, at reason
able prices. In many localities we
find that the growers who have not
learned to produce truck crops eff
ciontly are the ones who supply the
markets. The more efficient truckers
have an established trade and do not
care to sell their goods beside lot
of inferior stuff. Consumers who pa
tronize markets are entitled to the
very best. 1t will take this to hold
the trade.
Much more attention should be
given to grading, packing and dis
playing Of commodities of'erGd !or
sale. Containers actually protect lhe
commodtCios from dirt, and besides
mako them more attractive. Few
people VIII Duy butter, ..,.-i.S..sa, her.
ries and many other such items If
they have been exposed to the dust
OF the road and street In so far as
is practicable, the commodity should
he carried from the farm to the mar
ket in clean, attractive, convenient
container.
Products properly graded and
carefully prepared have a higher
market value than those to which
no attention has been directed.
The following quotation from
weekly summary gotten out by the
Department Of Agriculture, Bureau
OF Markets, Is significant Of this fact:
"Carrots-Receipts are modeT lte
and tho demand has been good all
mostly $1.75 to $500 for washed,
and $3.50 a box for dirty ones"
In all cases where products are
put up In packages, any considera-
Bile variation below the quality of
the top layer does not permit tho
goods to be considered as first quail
ity. Where extreme topping off"
Is practiced 1t is readily detected by
experienced buyers, and the pack Is
considered dishonest.
Tentative grades, based on bulle-
tins issued by the U. S. Department
Of Agriculture, Bureau Of Markets:
Cherries-Sold In one-quart bas-
kets by the crate Of 80 baskets. Ma
turity: Well colored, but not over
ripe. Size: Normal average for va
riety. Qualities demanded: Free
from leaves and trash, picked with
stems on, and only one variety in a
package.
Strawberries-Sold In one-quart
baskets, In crates Of 80 baskets. Ma
turity: Well ripened, practically an
not over-ripe. Qualities demanded:
Eycnness Of color Of berries, uni
fol nifty Of size, and freedom from

| Radishes--Sold in punches Of 6,
s or 2 radishes to tho bunch, by the
dozen punches. Maturity: Fair
sized roots, but sound. Size: Nor
NAL for variety. Qualities demanded: !:
Freshness. brightness and crspness.
| Washed and uniform in size and
color In the same bunch. Bunches
are made up by tying just above the
roots with twine or rafTia.

dates at different places, and give
notice accordingly, she would meet
with more success. Ieople are not
SO poor that they can't help. 1t Is
just that they are Indifferent and
