Growers Should Aim to Pro-
duce Fruit of High Grade.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricuture)
The unsatisfactory condition and
grade of strawberries often found on
the market indicates need for more
ter handling methods, according to
the bureau of agricultural economics,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, following field survey of
strawberry marketing methods.
Growers, says the department,
should aim to produce berries of
such uniformly high quality that no
hand grading is necessary, as any
extra handling adds to the possibility
of decay. In many instances, how
ever, hand grading is necessary and
profitable, but the logical place to
grade berries is in the field. Whether
or not the berries have been hand or
field graded, the filed boxes should
be classified as to grade before they
are placed in crates for shipment
Field grading under proper super
vision is preferred to grading in the
packing shed because it involves less
handling and therefore less deteriOra-
ton in transit. The use of established
standard grades is recommended as
furnishing a definite basis and guide
to the grower in preparing his crop
for market. to the buyer in purchas-
ing the fruit, and for inspection either
at shipping point or terminal mar
ket.
Boxes should contain uniform

Treatment Cannot Possibly

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
"The tuberculin testing of cattle can
not possibly cause either abortion or
sterility." This statement by DR.. j. r.
MOhler, chief of the bureau of animal
industry, United States Department
of Agriculture, Is reply to assertions
sometimes heard that tuberculin when
injected into cow may cause her to
abort or become sterile.
Record of One Cow.
At a recent hearing before con-
gressional committee, Doctor Mohler
reported extended observations on this
subject in answer to the inquiry of
Congressman l.. j. Dickinson, of Iowa.
1.-THE bureau has the record of one
cow" Doctor Mohler stated, (which
received over LOO cubic centimeters
of tuberculin at one time and that
COW lived TO be eighteen years old and
was never known tc abort" The cow
produced many healthy calves during
that time, Doctor Mohler explained.
Furthermore" he continued, mo
cases have been recorded in the lit
erature ON the subject which would
lead even to the suspicion that either
abortion or sterility is caused by the
injection of tuberCulin. l have per-
sonally injected large numbers of
pregnant cows with from 30 to 81
drops of tuberculin simultaneously,
which is the old method of injecting
tuberculln, and have yet to see the first
cow stink her calf as the result of the
test. With the modern method of
intradermic testing which is followed
in over 90 per cent of our work, only
two drops of tuberculin are injected
into the fold of the tail. The claim
that such a small amount Of tuber-
culin will produce abortion or steril-
ity is purely a Pigment of the magma
ton and without any foundation in
fact"
Tested Annually.
"For instance, almost in the shadow
of this Capitol building" Doctor Mob
Ter continued, "there are two govern
ment-Owned herds averaging from $50
to $50 cows each, which have been
tuberculin tested annually and some
times semiannually for at least two
decades, and they are free not only
of tuberculosis but of abortion as well,
despite the fact that the annual tu-
berculin test is still being applied"
The foregoing statement is sup
ported by the wide observation of
Psychologists and veterinarians of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture who have devoted many years
of study to animal diseases, both in
the course of research work and in
herds and lOcks throughout the coun-
try.

Vermont a Republic
for Fourteen Years

Vermont is to be congratulated upon
the sesquicentennial Of her declara-
ton Of independence. 1t is almost for
gotten that the Green Mountain state
had its origin as an independent re
public. One hundred and fifty years
ago the difficulties of her citizens
over conflicting land grants issued by
New Hampshire and New York led to
the formation of a state which re-
fused allegiance either to Great Brit
ain or to the newly formed union of
revolving colonies. Fortunately, these
Independent farmers asserted in their
declaration a willingness to ally them
selves with "our brethren in the Unit
ed States of America to do our full
proportion in maintaining and sup
porting the just war;" For IA years,
however, Vermont went her own way,
compelling the Continental congress
to extend a quasi-recognition of her
independence.-New York Post.

CONFER TONIGHT
ON FRE|HEIT BAN
Will Fight Canadian
Govt Decision

Inaugurating a campaign that
will be extended to every section of
the country, representatives of vari
Gus workingclass organizations
will meet at s o'clock tonight in the
Workers Center, 1928 Union So, to
consider plans for fighting the ban
that has been placed on the Freiheit,
Yiddish Communist daily, by the
Canadian government.
The barring of the Freiheit from
Canada has aroused storm of re-
sentiment among the Jewish workers
of the United States and Canada.
The official charge of "blasphemy"
is ridiculed by the editors of the
Freiheit, who declare that the real
reason for the banning of the paper
is the militant role which it has
played in the struggles of the
Canadian Jewish workers, partic-
ularly in the needle trades strug-
giles in Toronto and Montreal The
instigators of the government action
against the Freiheit are believed to
be the discredited right wing takers
whom the Freiheit has consistently
fought and exposed.
The meeting tonight will be at
tended by Representatives of trade
unions, Trade Union Educational
Leagues, Women's Councils and
other workingclass organizations.
