farm products at the wholesale mar
kets usually is the first sale subse-
quent to the sale by the farmer.
In the case of wheat the spread
between the farm gate and the
wholesale market is "a cents bush
Ell, the farmer receiving an average
of $1.62 bushel at the same time the
wholesale price of various grades of
wheat averaged $1.96 bushel. The
spread for corn is Is cents. The
spread for cotton was one cent.
The difference between the whole
sale price and the farm price does not
represent a clear profit to a middle
man as sometimes charged. Certain
services such as transportation and
handling come between the farmer
and the market. 1t is the present
aim of the Federal Governments ag-
ricultural policy to reduce these
charges TO the minimum and so cut
the spread.

up new safety rules, changing the
provision affecting safety rules IN
mines by providing that mines en-
ploying ten men or more come within
the purview Of the State safety leg

Another provision Of the new law
requires that gas and oil drilling COM
panies seal abandoned drillings both
below and above coal veins, so that
there viii be no danger from gas ex-
plosions because Of escaping gas from
the drillings into the mines.
Mine companies are also required
to install telephones at the top and
bottom of shafts and at each turn in
the mine. Mines where safety lamps
are not used are required to be rock
busted or watered to prevent explos-
ions. The law is the result Of the
mine explosion at Sullivan, Ind.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April e.
How to reduce the spread between
the prices which the farmer receives
for his products and the prices paid
by the consumer is the central point
of studies which the Federal Govern
ment is carrying on more or less con-
tinuously.
Figures gathered by two Govern
ment departments throw some light
on this subject. The Department Of
Agriculture has gathered data show
ing the average price which agricul-
tural products brought at the farm
gate. The Labor Department has
data showing the average wholesale
price of farm products for substan-
TALLY the same dates. The sale Of

During that week several thousand
motion-picture theaters, thru the

on their screens appropriate slogans
urging the people to exercise greater
care in addressing; daily and weekly
newspapers will be asked to acquaint
their readers with the extent of the
waste caused by misdirected mail ma
tional businss and commercial organi-

ing associations, and clubs are being
requested to get the message to their
members, and postmasters in a num-
Der of principal cities where broad
casting is done, will discuss the ques-

Cooperating with the m%otion-pic-

mats from slogan prepared by the de-
partment, and printed herewith.

HIS AWKWARD WAY
BY DOUGLAS MALLocH

V kskeAAk A#eA* 3#* X ~ Y s#es*# v 44* *Mw**
I'VE WAS rather awkward, he
- Wasn't so polite;
He was wrong in company
Oftener than right.
His intentions, though, were good,
People used to say,
And he did the, best he could,
In his awkward way.
Many things he didn't know,
Things you learn in school;
People said he wasn't, though,
Anybody's fool.
He just used his common sense
He could even pray
For the help of Providence,
In his awkward way.
Though he wasn't very smart,
Everybody said,
Still he had an honest heart,
Had a level head.
Never reckless, never rash,
NdNluS udy py udy,
That is how he got his cash,
In his awkward way.
Certain people used to smile,
Thought him rather rough;
But the children all the while
Liked him well enough.
Babies always went to him
He knew how to play,
Understood each little whim,
In his awkward way.
When the station agent died,
Leaving not a thing.
To the widow people tried
Sympathy to bring.
He could think of nothing then,
Not a thing to say,
But he made her take a ten,
In his awkward way.
I don't know just what was his creed.
But I often heard
Twas religion of the deed
Rather than the word.
Heaven isn't for the sharp
I expect today
He Is playing on a harp,
In his awkward way.

the boards will not shrink, crack or
warp from contact with water. They
may be used during the day time
while undergoing this process.
The three satisfactory sinks as far
as sanitation are concerned are the
enameled iron, porcelain, and vitre-
Gus china. They are all smooth sur
faced, notwithstanding, and attractive.
In the long run the porcelain is the
least expensive and easiest to install
as it is lighter in weight. If the sink
is hung from the wall and all piping
done thru the wall rather than thru
the floor, the floor around the sink
will be more easily cleaned.
The anti-splash type Of faucet
should be selected and fitted with
rubber tips to help prevent breakage
of dishes. If coarse grit and strong
wasting powders are used on the sink
it will destroy the smooth surface
and permit it to discolor easily. Hot
suds will clean it quite satisfactory
with a little kerosene or turpentine
occasionally to remove the coat of
grease that forms. Washing soda dis
solved in hot water will clean out
drains. 1t should not come in contact
with the sink any more than is neces-
sary.

The dealers point our that the con-
sumption of asparagus is increasing
quite materially but along with it the
department of agriculture records
show that asparagus acreage is In
creasing in practically every state
where it is grown.
In the large city markets / find
some trade who say that most of the
asparagus which their markets re-
ceive is not put up in the condition
that the so-called high class trade
like it and that they can handle
few cars at any time of year regard
less of the local supply if it is graded
and put up exactly as the high class
trade want it. This may be our one
opportunity to take care of our sur
plus after the eastern grass comes on.
As indicated above, We have some
very valuable markets already estab-
lished which are looking for more of
our asparagus and we have been able
to make arrangements for distribu-
ton in other mrkets which it appears
now will be very good markets for
our grass at least during April. In
view of these new markets for April
shipments the possibility of taking
care of our increase looks quite en-
couraging on the whole, but it means
that we have to do the same thing
that every other successful business
institution has always done and that
is to provide our own distributing ma
chinery and develop our markets and
push our sales in an intelligent, ag-
gressive way as fast as our supply in
creases. If we attempt to follow the
old idea of marketing farm produce
by growing lot of it and taking it
down to the depot platform hoping
in some vague sort of a way that
there is going to be some marketing
and distributing machinery to take it
off our hands and take care of it, we
will have wrecked asparagus indus
try just like some of our other indus
tries at the present time. Carefully
planned sales and distributing ma
chinery owned and operated by the
owner of the product can handle any
good farm product such as asparagus
and maintain price level. But, with
out distributing and selling machin-
cry, owned and operated by the own
er of the product it is useless to plant
more stuff. The manager of one of
the largest produce houses in Chi
cago made this pointed and clear to
me when he said, 81 went broke in
California growing asparagus when
everybody was planting and nobody
doing ANYTHING on selling and dis
tributing."
