The Pennsylvanians lowered head

The knockout punch was the
second Of two real punches Ber-
lenbach landed during the fight.
The first Of these came in the
fifth round, BeFlenbach stepping
around from behind Fisher 20
score with q right hook to the
Jaw. The upstate entry retained
the perpendicular under this
punch but went down heavily the
next moment when BerIenbach
missed his Jaw with terrific left
uppercut. The rest of the action
was non.active.
For this, Fisher was largely tC
blame. After making a commend
able effort In the first two rounds
with a species OF clowning that
seemed to have Berlenbacn confused
he spent the remainder of his time

Farmers Lose Much
on Wheat Dockage
Failure to Clean Grain on
Farm Is Cause of Loss.

prepared by the United States Department,
of Agriculture.)
Farmers In the spring-wheat states
lost millions of dollars last year
through failure to clean their wheat
on the farm. The farmers Of four
springwheat states hauled to market
100000 bushels of dockage mixed
with their wheat. They lost millions
Of bushels of wheat in reduced yields
by growing weeds; $675.OOO paid for
threshing dockage; 100000 in freight
paid on dockage; by weed seeds low
ering the grade Of wheat, and by los
ing the feed value of the dockage.
These facts are brought out in an
investigation by the United States De
partment of Agriculture. which is now
waging an intensive campaign in the
spring-wheat states to induce farmers
to clean their wheat on the farm. The
quantity Of dockage last year, If re-
moved from the wheat, would have
fed with addition of roughage) $780,
600 lambs, thus adding weight worth
about $6,700,O0O, the department says.
Wheat should be cleaned preferably
at the thresher with a portable disk
cleaner, or with any good cleaner at
the granary. Cleaning at the farm re-
moves the dockage for feed; increas-
es the market value of the grain !;
provides clean wheat for sowing, and
Saves freight.
A descriptive illustrated poster en-
phasizing the need for cleaning wheat
at the farm has been prepared by the
department, copies Of which will be
displayed at banks, country elevators,
mills, railroad stations and other pub
lie places through the spring-wheat
territory. A special bulletin entitled
Cleaning Wheat on the Farm" is also
being published. copies Of which may
be obtained free upon request to the

ture, Washington, D. G.

Inspection Service on
Eggs Expanding Rapidly

Nearly 5000 cases of eggs were in
spected at New York last month I'M
der the new market inspection service
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. Inspections were mainly
for users of eggs, one chain restaurant
system alone having 2,63S cases in
spected by the federal officials. Other
inspections were for government hos
pitfalls, navy supply ships, the United
States Steamship lines and other
steamship lines.
Widespread demand is being made
for extension of the inspection service
to other cities, declares Roy G. Potts,
in charge of the division of dairy and
poultry products at Washington, and
it is hoped to meet this demand as
rapidly as federal funds will permit.
Inspection service is being established
at Chicago this month, to be followed
later in the year with similar service
at Philadelphia, Boston and San Fran
cisco.
The eggs are inspected in accord
ance with the specifications in the
contracts between buyers and sellers.
Increasing use is also being made of
the federal grades for eggs, Mr.. Potts
says.
