CARE AND ACCURACY DEMANDED
IN WEIGHING HAY FOR MARKET

is correct and as indicated upon the
tag.
Careless weighing on wagon scales
causes as much difficulty as careless
weighing by any other method. One
Of the principal causes Of unsatisfac-
tory weights upon wagon scales Is lack
Of proper care Of the scales and of
the necessary attention to keep them
in repair and In good working order.
Accurate weights cannot be obtained
on scales that are out Of repair.
Wagon scales should be inspected ffe-
quently by a competent inspector and
care should be taken to see that they
are In proper adjustment and balance
before weighing any lot or load Of
hay.
Care must be taken als0 to see that
the load Is In proper position upon
the scales. The load should not bind
upon the scale box or building, and
If the team exerts any effect upon the
| load 1t should be unhitched.
When obtaining the tare weight the
weigher should be certain that the
wagon contains the same equipment
as when the gross weight was OBJ
tanned. A good rule Is to remove ev-
erything but the necessary equipment
from the load before weighing.
Keep Bale Check When Loading.
II the producer or shipper loads the
hay directly into the cars care Is espe-
cially necessary TO compute the total
weight correctly. Loads are frequent
ly distributed in two or more cars
because OF the variation In the quail
| ity of the hay If the bales are
tagged, a careful record should be
kept of the bales placed in each car.
If not tagged, the part Of the load
placed in each car should be weighed
separately. A careful check of the
total number OF bales placed in each
car should also be Kept so that the
shipper may have the proper data
upon which to base a claim should
any loss occur while the hay is moving
to market.
The following suggestions, IL fol.
lowed, will greatly assist In eliminat-
| ing some Of the troubles caused by
improper weighing methods:
When using tag weights record the
actual current weight.
| Have wagon scales In proper adjust
ment and balance.
See that wagon contains same equip
ment when weighing both the gross
and tare weight.
When loading two or more cars
keep careful record Of hap loaded In
each car.
j Always keep bale record, together
with weight record, Of each car.

WASHINGTON LETTER
BY J. E. JONES.
FARM BLOC WORRYING G. o. P.

FARM BLOC WORRYING u. ". +.
The Republicans have party pro-
gram that they are very anxious to
put through Congress, and it. would
seem that with comfortable majori-
ties in both Houses that there ought
to be no trouble about passing any
kind of law that has the "okeh
Mr.. Wilson used to write it-0f the
Republican leaders. But someone
has thrown a monkey-wrench into the
party machinery, and there is no
need to look far for the perpetrator
Of the act-because the farm bloc
admits its full guilt. The farm
bloc is made up principally of Re-
publican Senators and Representa-
tives; and every one of them will tell
you that they are eager to carry out
their party program. The unfor-
unate part of their position, from
the standpoint of the President, who
has scolded mildly; and in the opinion
of Secretary of War Weeks who has
denounced them for what he terms
unwise "group action" is that the
farm bloc has very definite ideas
about what kind of programs should
be made for the Republican party.
In one sense they are like the old
time groups that were called Sin
surgents" and "progressives." All
the survivors of those factions are
in the farm bloc. But the farm bloc
insists that it is regular to the
'steeEth degree. All it wants is a
''prcgram'-the particular kind of
q program that is just it wants! And
" the Republican managers have
any different kinds of suggestions to
make, then the farm bloc simply re-
serves the right to revise those sug-
gestions. Like Patrick Henry of
old, they assert that they are entire
" loyal, and when other Republican
cry treason" they coldly reply: IF
this be treason, make the most of it. /"
In the days when party lines were
tight the constituted leaders used to
drive the members of such organiza-
tions as the farm bloc out of their
party. But there have been great
changes, and to the desultory talk of
such procedure the farm bloc says
it will give a hearty welcome. The
farm bloc is worrying the G. O. P,
but the party is not inclined to break
with it members. But the G. O. P.
is worried, because it realizes that it
can not make party program with

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
A great deal of trouble and none
tary loss sustained by producers and
shippers In marketing hay has been
found by the bureau Of markets and
crop estimates, United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. to be due to
careless weighing.
Weighing by the Bale.
In several sections of the country
1t is the custom to weigh hay by the
bale at the time for baling and to note
the weight upon a tag made OF card
board or other convenient material at
tached to the bale beneath one OF the
bale ties. When weighing by this
method great care should be taken to
weigh the hay accurately. During the
rush of baling operations sufficient
time Is frequently not allowed for the
scales to come to balance and there
may be as much as ten pounds elf
ference between the actual and the
#eatch weight.
Special care should also be taken in
writing the correct weight upon the
tag, say the bureaus specialists. 1t
Is the common practice In some Sec
tions to use only numbers ending In
0 or 5 In recording the weight, and
to give or take from the actual weight
q sufficient amount to make number
with such an ending. For example,
the weight of bale weighing 81
pounds is written as IS pounds and
that of one weighing So pounds as 20
pounds. The tendency, however, Is
ito take" more frequently than ito
give" so that 1t is better practice
| to state the actual weight upon the
| tag.
Another practice which Is often
! charged back to the producer in low
er prices or in weight claims, dispro-
portionate to the actual loss, is the
use at much later date OF tag
