WANT CHANGE in
APPLE GRADING
[COntinned from fri paael

kets and hampers. The remedy came
in Federal inspection and grading.
But Mr. Derickson sees a new
menace in the psychological effect OF
the grades under which the govern
ment brands the apples. At present
the grades are U. S. fancy, U. S. No.
l and U. S. No. 2. Mr.. Derickson
believes that orchardists will have
trouble in disposing of U. S. No 2's
simply because few buyers would
want to have seconds. He will sug-
gest to the Federal authorities that
U. S. No. rs be changed to U. S.
choice
That is the way apple growers of
california brand their seconds. AS
matter of fact, Mr.. Derickson be-
lieves that the grower would do bet
ter if he shipped nothing but U. S.
fancy and U. S. No. l, U. S. No. 2,
or U. S. choice should be diverted
for canning or for making apple
sauce, cider or some other by-pro-
duct.
MIR. DericksOn now plans to con-
fer with the orchardists as we'll as
vegetable growers to try and i'm
press upon them the need for ship
ping only first class food products.
He states that the nearness to mar
ket is a great temptation to try
and dispose of inferior fruit and veg
etables.
This has been the big week for late
apples. The fruit is going forward
to market by both rail and truck. !
Approximately 100 carloads were
shipped up to this time. A great !
number are going into storage, be- |
cause the price at this time ranging |
from 81 to $1.O4 bushel hamper
is by no means an attractive figure.
Many of the apple growers believe
that the market will strengthen,
when the apple picking season is
over and that in the course of the
next four or six months, they will be
able to dispose of the apples in stor-
age at higher prices. When proper
y cared for, apples will keep splen-
idly for two or more years.

COVERTS FOR GAME BIRDS

AS this is hunting time" through
out a large part of the United
States, interest attaches to infor-
nation furnished by one of the gov
eminent departments designed to
secure greater degree of protec-
ton for upland game birds. 1t is
pointed out by the Agricultural De-
partment that bobwhites frequently
use coverts of rose, alder, bayberry,
sumac, and blackberry bushes, and
dense banks of honeysuckle. These
plants furnish food for the birds, but
they should be supplemented by
others more exclusively adapted for
the purpose. The quail is especially
fond of mulberries in addition to
those previously mentioned. Among
valuable seed-bearing plants are
Japanese clover, beggar lice, buck
wheat, sorghum, broomcOrn, kafir
corn, millet, wheat, vetches, cow
peas, and any plants of the pea

DELAWARE All CLUB WORK

Delaware All Club Work is rep
resented in the National Dairy Judg-
! ing Contest at the National Dairy
Exposition held this week at Mem
phis, Tennessee, by team of four
dairy club boys in charge of George
NJ. Worrilow, County Club Agent of
New Castle County.
The Delaware team consists of
Marvin Klair, Marshallton; Paul
Kitchens, Hockessin; Allison Davis,
Pennington, and Lyndon Caulk, of
Woodside. These boys won their
right to the Memphis trip by win
ming out in a series of elimination
judging contests beginning last
July at the Kent-Sussex Fair. They
received their preliminary training
from their own County Club Agents,
but during the last few weeks have
been trained by Mr.. Worrilow, who
is an expert judge of dairy cattle.
Splendid cooperation has been Civ
en- by owners of dairy herds who
have allowed the boys to use their
animals for practice judging.
The boys left Newark Friday night
on the Baltimore & Ohio on their
1900 mile trip. At Memphis they
will be in camp with teams from
about thirty states. Interest in the
contest is keen because the winning
team gains the right to represent
the United States in the Information
al Judging Contest in England next
summer.
Finances for this trip were pro-
7ided by number of organizations
md men who are interested in !
iairying, and who believe in train |
ng the boys of the farms in the de-
ails of this important industry.

PAYROLL OR BEER CAN

To vote for a change of national
administration merely because of a
local slump will not make things
better. The laundering acclaim
which has greeted Mr.. Hoover's

leaders among the labor unions

industrial and economic stability
indicates that the mass of organized
labor is more interested in the pay
roll than the beer can.-Boston

COCKERELS A PROBLEM
FOR POULTRY RAISERS


"What is the most economical use
we can make Of our cockerels ?"
This is a question often asked by
poultry raisers.
"This answer, of course, depends
somewhat upon when they are
Matched, and on the market and the
breed" says A. C. Smith, head of the
poultry division of the University
College of Agriculture. Gas a~gen-
Ieral thing the early cockerels of the
light breeds should be sold for broil-
!ers, as they will bring almost as much
when sold as broilers as when kept
until they weigh twice as much be-
cause the prices drop rapidly after
July 1.
cit generally pays, however, 70
keep the heavy breeds, especially if
they can be made ready for the
market as early as September or ev-
en- the early part of October. Do
not keep them until the ground freez-
es and the snow comes, when every
body ships.
every chicken should be grown
so that it has a fair amount of flesh
at all times. The fattening process
then becomes principally softening
and a filling process; that is, the
flesh built up when the chicken is
