GRADING AND PACKING ARE
CHIEF PROBLEMS IN LETTUCE

From John D. Shows Summary of
the 1928 Colorado Lettuce Deal
One Of the principal problems from
the head lettuce growers viewpoint Is
the handling Of the crop when ready
FOR cutting. Many growers have
planted acreages too large for the
owners handling facilities, especially
those n.-eded at the time Of harvest
ing.
This same problem also affects 'i,~
shipper, for under the present method
Of marketing the shipper contracts to
pack the lettuce and is often caught
with more deliveries TO the packing
shed than his force can handle
The grading problem needs the at
teution Of both shippers and growers.
Il is essentiHHy n shippers problem,
as the deal is now handled, bot the
fact that there are several local
growers associations packing and
selling lettuce makes grading a grow
erS' problem also The desirabilicy of
"a fancy product and fine pack for
Colorado lettuce .nrtainly will noe be
questioned. Nevertheless the fact r.
mains that lettuce was shipped during
the 1929 season that was not hTgh
quality product and was not packed
u meet the trade requirements for
first-eiass Iceberg letfucr- More rigid
arhrrenec to strict grzdiaz rules and
the utilization of good inspection
service are necessary If the highest
returns are TO be secured Both the
grades and the inspectiau service arc
available in Colorado.
Thus. problems are part of the
marketing problem which fIrcs Colo
rado lettuce growers and shippers.
Naturally the associations have the
same prahiems. Most shippers have
honestly endeavored to give the bes.
service pnssible in grading. It is nat
urally 70 their interest to do so accord
ing to the present forms Of contracts
in use. However, there haye been
shippers WHO either did not pack and
grade honestly or did not have good
selling connections, or both. Some of
the low resnrns during August and
September can be attributed 20 these
faulty conditions.

Line To Buena Vista
State Loses Fight to Prevent the
Abandonment Of Thirty Eight Miles
Of the e. & s

Denver, August 22:-The State Of
Colorado lost its fight to prevent the
abandonment by the Colorado &
Southern railway Of thirty eight miles
of track between Romley and Buena
Vista, when Judges Robert Lewis, J.
Foster Symes and o. l.. Phillips de-
cided the court was without power to
suspend ruling of the Interstate
Commerce Commission The Commits
sion several weeks ago granted the re-
ques, of the Colorado & Southern rail-
way to abandon the trackage on the
ground that the branch was being
operated at loss
As result of the action of the
three judges, the road will be aban-
doned under the order of the Inter
state Commerce Commission on Sep
tember ~, unless the United States
supreme court issues IN injunction.
Attorneys representing the state gave
notice of an appeal as soon as the
opinion of the three judges was an
nouncea The decision was by Judge
Lewis and was concurred in by Judges
Symes and Phillips.
The state sought an injunction
against the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to prevent issuing an order of
abandonment, the case being based up
on the contention that the commission
had no regulatory powers over roads
of exclusive interstate right of way.

The almanac may have something to
say about spring and robins, grackles,
hyacinths and blooming fruit trees

as spring signs, but when Cleanup

Commissioners have sounded their an

lar bird to which they refer. Then
the notes can be arranged in q box
in alphabetical order. Several pages
of notes on one subject may be pin
ned together or secured by fasteners,
and the bundle treated as a unit. In
this way the notebook becomes a
cyclopedia of ready reference and the
knowledge acquired through several
years will be always at hand.
Bird study is much enhanced by
the use of the camera. Pictures OF
the birds are always interesting, and
with a little skill and ingenuity one
may secure many rare pictures of the
birds. 1t is often necessary to set
the camera near a nest or at some
place which the birds frequent, and
spring it with string and trigger
but such matters are details to be
overcome by patience and adaptation
delightful as the getting of the pie-
ture itself.
The amateur who begins with small
knowledge Of birds will naturally
meet with some obstacles to fruitful
study. He will make mistakes. plac-
ing some birds in the wrong classt-
fication and possibly calling some OF
them by the wrong names But
further observation and study serves
TO bring this out straight in time.
Moreover, the person who studies
birds in spring and summer will
naturally read about them in fall
and winter, and thus he will build up
by natural interest and research a

Panicky in Ohio?

This is strange news from Ohio that
comes to the Ohio republicans in the
House and Senate in the form of
telegram from the Coolidge manager
in that state saying that he Is some
what concerned az to the result Of the
primary April %. He said that the
disturbing conditions are due to the re-
suit Of Senator Peppers Portland
speech attacking former Attorney
General Daugherty, and suggested
sending speakers into the state to
speak in President Coolidge's behalf.
The Ohio senators and representa-
tives are reported as not sharing the
concern OF Manager Donithen, and as
thinking that he is unduly alarmed
They are also said to think that Mr..
Donithen makes tactical mistake in
sending out this Macedonian cry at
this time. The members of the Ohio
delegation are presumed to be in touch
with political conditions in their own
bailiwfcks and able to Judge for them
selves Of the wisdom and necessity Of
adopting Mr.. Donithen's suggestion.
It is difficult to~understand why the
erstwhile roseate prospects of Presi-
dent Coolidge carrying the primaries
should be endangered by the attack
upon Mr.. Daugherty. President Cool
tdge did not make the attack, and it is
said he was not apprised Of the no.
ture Of Senator Peppers speech In al.
vance.
Moreover. Mr. Dsugherty, after his
dismissal from the cabinet, like the
good sportsman he is, declared his con-
tinued allegiance to the President and
his determination to support him for
the nomination. Considering all the cir
cumstances. it would seem that Man
ager Donithen is in a bit Of panic.

Pistol Carrying.

Various measures have been taken by
the District authorities to control the
sale and ownership Of pistols, and, of
course, these measures have had some
beneficial effect. But in view of the
evident increase in the Iawless popu-
iation and the number of homicides
due to the convenience of pistol the
public and the police have called for a
law which will surely discourage the
vice complained Of.
The Commissioners have submitted

views OF the police and the sentiment
OF citizens. 1t makes 1t harder. to get
