Standard Packages
 Barrels, baskets. crates and ham pers heretofore were much like some of Rube Go1berg's cartoons. they don't mean anything" There has for years been an insistent demand and need for legalized standard packages in which to ship the farmers pro- duce. There has been no end of scandal, fraud, deception and down. right thievery practieed rom time immemorial in the matter of con- tents of various styles of packages used in shipping produce. In short. barrels. baskets. crates and hampers did not mean anything or at least conveyed no accurate knowledge of quantity or capacity. A bill has final ly passed Congress which will def initely fix standards for all con tainers used in the marketing of pro- duce. The administration of this law will be directed by the agricul- tural department of the United States. A truck grower in any part of the United States can then know the meaning of the price of a crate of cabbage, a crate of cantaloupes, a hamper sof beans, etc. no matter where the quotation comes from.

and In time can be made to produce valuable cultivated crops
 Q. bought some COW peas lately to SOW in late corn. but l notice many of them have holes eaten out by wee vils. Could I expect a stand with such peas and would you advise their planting? l.. O., Blocton.
 A. A hole in a COW pea is no sign that 1t won't come up. The germ Is not always attacked by the weevil: in fact, they see into most generally eat around it. This may be noted when several containing holes are cat open. If the ger mis intact the seed generally comes up quickly. The best plan is to plant few in a box of sand, exposed to the sun. cover light ly and keep damp. You can tell In two or three days how many will come up.

Auto Farmers

About this time last year I was in Illinois, Missouri and Texas and wondered what became of the breed of animal. commonly known as the mule, that while boy in Texas I formally plowed and occasionally rode to mill, astride two bushels of corn. It seemed te the writer that they had been made over into gas wagons. but an inquiry disclosed the fact that the farm still had its mules and fine horses, in fact, more of them and much finer ones than I was used to when a blow boy. I attended a big fish fry and barbecue on the hanks of the Sabine river and there must have been present 500 people, including possibly 100 negroes. There was not one single wagon, horse or buggy on the grounds, all. both black and white, had come in automobiles.
 On June 30. last month. there was a farm bureau celebration at DeKaib, Ill, where the attendance reached 25,000 people. An accurate count of the number of automobiles present and belonging to farmers totaled 1000 cars. This will explain some automobile statistics so amazing to us poor devils who cannot afford one.

Middle Men

The farmers, a large per cent of the public, and the average consumer are forever and eternaly kicking about the middle man, who is after all the ultimate distributor. Will somebody please rise up and tell the world some sane and practical plan to get rid of him? I have read tons of printed dope about eliminating the so-called middle man. but how are you going to run an automobile or an airplane without gas and fuel oil i! The middle man is just as important in the distribution ofN all things as gas, steam or electricity Is to trans portation. A dozen wars or bloody revolutions would not be near aS harmful to the general public as the elimination of the merchant and the trader. yet some fools are continual ly preaching such rot. A person steps into a store for cents worth of salt. or turnip seed, suppose they do pay a big profit, which they don't, they get for a small investment all
