SUGGESTIONS TO

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Many of the difficulties and losses
that shippers of hay encounter would
be eliminated If more care were exer-
cised when making sales to see that
all terms are clear and practicable and
that both seller and buyer have the
same understanding of them. This
can be accomplished by observing the
following suggestions by the bureau
of markets and crop estimates, United
States Department of Agriculture:
State clearly in all offers or accept
ances all necessary factors, including
quality and quantity of hay, together
with time of shipment routing, rates,
price and terms of payment.
Confirm all sales and purchases by
letter, in which is stated all terms as
understood by the seller or the buyer,
as the case may be.
Upon receipt of confirmation, cor
rect Immediately any items that ap-
pear to be incorrect.
Make Terms Clear.
Too much emphasis cannot be
placed upon the matter of care in stat
ing terms when making sales or pur-
chases. A greater part of such trans
actions are usually by telephone or
telegraph which makes brevity neces-
sary. A few more cents spent In tele-
phone or telegraph charges, however,
is better than several dollars lost on
an unsatisfactory shipment. On the
part of the shipper, therefore, when
offering hay for sale, whether the offer
is by wire or letter. the following
should be stated:
(a) Quantity by bales, tons, or car
loads. If by balls the size should al
ways be given, and if by tons or car
loads, 1t is well also to state the size
of bales that will be shipped, as there
is decided preference in certain Sec
tions for certain types and sizes Of
bales.
(b) Quality, either in descriptive
terms or in the terms of state or COM
mercial grades. When commercial
grades are used it must be made GER
tain that both buyer and seller under
stand what standards are being used.
1t is sometimes advisable to state
what inspection agency is to deter
mine the grade.
(c) The time of shipment should
be specified either by naming the ex-
act date on or before which shipment

MAKING SUCCESS OF GARDEN
Soils Must Be Deep, Mellow and Fri.
able and in crumbIy State When
PloWed or Hoed.

The success of a garden Is largely
due to the manner in which the soil
has been prepared. The soil must be
deep, mellow and friable, so that II
will be in a crumbly state when
plowed or hoed. That is, the minute
particles of the soil must be granular
each maintaining it's form and con-
sistency. When such soil is wet, each
portion is enveloped by film Of water
which Is retained for some time. The
plant food is thus dissolved and this
water-laden plant food Is taken by
the roots of the plants.
