GRADING POTATOES

(By J. A. Fossum, State H~orticultur.
al Inspector.)

The need of standardization of all
farm products is becoming more and
more apparent and farmers are realiz-
ing that it is the only way to get a
fair price for what they have to offer
to the consumer. Grains have been
standardized for a number of years,
and other products have followed suit.
Potatoes, one of the leading staple
articles grown on the farm, + fin

duets. A u. S. standard has beer
established, and one state after an
other has adopted it, and | believe
that in another year or two every
state in the Union will market pota'

parts of our state this year demands

common sense they will realize that
by doing SO they are cutting their own
threats, as for every l per cent low

Although the date is nearly thr",

there are already distinctive prclim,

the trip Of Rawlins Lodge. No. cog
B. P. o. E., to Craig. Colorado, or
the goth of this month, will be a
lurid crimson spot in lodge annals
for many moons to come. The oc,
casion will be the initiation of a
class of hitherto unbranded MAYER
icks into the mysteries of the order.
The ceremony will take place at
Craig. far from the main corral. for
reasons which every Elk will under
stand, and which will be much clear
er to the neophyteS after it is all
over.
For the benefit of rank outsiders it
may be said. without betraying lodge
secrets, that being initiated into the
Elks is a formality fraught with
great mental and physical strain.
Consequently it was thought mad
visable to ask the prospective victims
to make the long trip from Craig to
Rawlins, undergo the ceremonial
torture, and then make the rough
return ride in a weakened physical
condition.
Wise heads among the local lodge
decided. owing to the crowded con-
dition of the Memorial Hospital and
for other good and sufficient reasons.
that it would be far better to take
the initiation to Craig and let the
casualty list remain a purely local
affair. so a dis%pensation permitting
this procedure was procured.
Rawlins No. 500 is represented by
a committee Of arrangements which
consists of H. j. O'Donnel. L. J. Mel
son, H. E. Dunlap and Gus Fleschli.
