{practires docking and castration, and
ship to market in graded lots" This is
the message; sent to sheep. sraisers Of
the Southern and Eastern. States BY
the Committee appointed to work out
a solution Of the lamb marketing prob
lens at Jersey City. This Committee
waG appointed at aiconference of yrap-
'resentativesi of the producers packers,
live. stock commission men, retailers,
railroads, the Jersey City Stock
Yards CompanyNands the United States
Department Of Agriculture at sJeTsey
City on July FL, The first, meeting
of the Committee was held in I New
York City on August 18th and after
earnest consideration Of all, the prob
lems' involved, the conclusion was
reached that the preponderance of
low quality lambs arriving at Jersey
City is largely, responsible for the
unsatisfactory marketing conditions
which develop there from June to Sep
tember each year and are reflected
throughout the sheep and lamb indus
try.
The low quality of the Jersey City
lamb receipts has been found to be
duo to their inferior breeding and to
the fact that the males are "decky"
and thin. Practically all the lambs
are utdocked, and due largely to
rayages of stomach worms and other
parasites, they are not in proper con-
dition when they reach the market.
Slaughters are ready to buy all lambs
showing. quality and finish, according
to representatives on the Committee,
but there is a, limit to the number of
medium and inferior lambs they can
use. ,.'. .
In making it's recommendation to
sheep raisers to produce better
lambs, the Committee states that it is
not unmindful Of the part that coun-
try buyers, who assemble most of the
lambs for shipment to Jersey City,
must take if the marketing problem
is to- be solved satisfactorily. These
buyers are urged to make their pur-
chases on a strictly quality basis, and
to pay premiums for trimmed and
castrated lambs. It is the opinion Of
the Committee that sheen raisers can
not be expected to 60 to the extra ex-
lpense and trouble of producing high
quality lambs unless they are regard
ed for their efforts by receiving more
for good lambs than for common
stock. Should local buyers fail to
buy on basis of quality, the Commit
mittee states that producers will be
urged to ship direct to market, either
individually or comparatively.

During the storm all Of the windows

hailstones were said to be simply

size of hens eggs. The stones were
so large and driven with such strong
wind that the went through both
sashes and the screens in the Pullman
car windows. Where the curtains
were pulled down as last resort, they
were ripped to shreds. The casseng.

the north sides of the cars. After the
storm the hail was said to be several
inches deep over the floors of the
cars, and when the train was finally
able to pull into Akron, distance of
q miles, many of the passengers were
given medical treatment for gashcs
