Farm Products
Sold by Grades
Notable Progress Was First
Achieved During Recent Z
Depression.

prepared by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture)
Although preliminary work in the
development of national standards for
farm products has been under way for
many years, notable progress was first
achieved during the recent period of
agricultural depression when every
function of the marketing machine
was tested with a view to the posi-
BILE elimination of waste. The value
of standards and the probability of
profit from grading have been widely
discussed by many groups. In this
connection, says Lloyd S. Tenny, chief
of the bureau of agricultural econo-
mics, whether or not the producer
or marketer is paid for the additional
effort land expense involved in max
ing such classifications depends upon
his subsequent marketing practice.
For example, country merchant sell
dom establishes price differentials for
different grades when buying from
producers in very small lots. On the
contrary, a large assembier OF eggs
might find it practically impossible to
engage in business through regular
trade trade channels without conform
ing to recognized grading practices.
AS a general statement it may be said
that the smaller the volume of bust
ness the less likely it is that grading
to generally recognized standards will
pay. In large-scale operation, how
ever, Standardization is now univer-
sally recognized as basic require
ment for success"
Standards Formulated.
Among the farm products for which
standards have been formulated by
the United States Department of Ag,
riculture are cotton, dairy and poui
try products, grains (corn, wheat,
oats, rye, sorghums, barley, and ricel.
nine kinds of hay and related prod
ucts, live stock and meats, tobacco.
wool, and fruits, vegetables, and re-
lated products, including apples, arti-
kchokes, asparagus. beans, beets, cab
bage, cantaloupes, carrots, cauliflow-
era celery, cherries, citrus fruit, green
corn, cucumBers, dewberries and
blackberries, eggplant. grapes. honey,
lettuce, onion, peaches, peanuts, pears,
peas, peppers. pineapples. plums and
prunes, potatoes, sweet POTATOES, rad
ishes, shallots, spinach. strawberries,
tomatoes, turnips and water melons.
Containers Standardized.
Several of the styles of containers
for fruits and vegetables have also
been standardized. In several OF
these classifications more than One
set of standards have been prepared,
depending on the use of the product,
as for table use or canning, or by
origin or variety.
Before recommending standards ev-
cry effort is made to make them prac-
tical and acceptable to the established
| trade.

BIG q TRACK MEET
(By Coach BoeJ


The Big A track meet, held May

one of the fastest meet ever held
there. Five former records were

breaking the high hurdle record
by IL sec. The old record being
17.6 sec. held by Mitchell OF Pop
lar. Laroque's record time was
1879 sec. This not only breaks
the record time of the Big A meet
but also breaks the State High
school record. At the University
meet at Missoula by IL sec. that
time being II flat The time
made in this event in the national
meet at Chicago was 1871 sec.
Vinson placed End in the high
hurdles also breaking the former
Big A record and coming within
$40 sec. of the State record, his
time being 17.3 sec.
Shortly after the afternoon
events started, Ziedler of Plenty
wood tied the Big 4 record in the
100 va. dash, making the dash IN
1912 sec. This also ties the State
record.
The next record to fall was the
iavelin throw. Thorsen of Fair
view making the distance of l48

Law team from Froid. Time l
min. 4O.2 sec. The old record
held by Culbertson being l min
A sec. The three teams, Frold'
Culbertson and Wolf Point, fin
ished almost in a dead heat in the
order named, the distance between
LIST and 3rd being not over e feet.

event of the meet and was also
shattered. The Wolf Point team
walked away from their competl-
TORS in the third lap and Laroque,

Paper is part Of the foundation
of Modern Civilization

q OPPOSE now, today, this minute, every
scrap of paper of every description
- Should vanish from your place OF bust
ness, and no more was to be had.
No letters, no forms, no checks, no invoic-

Back would go your business hundreds of
years to the beginning of things.
There is no danger of this, but do you use
enough paper and in the most useful ways in
your business?
Paper is more than a commodity. 1t is a
paramount necessity without which no mod
ern business could be conducted. Around
this necessity the Paper Merchant and the
Printer have built their service.
Head Work Counts
Printed forms for conducting and keeping
q record of your business make it possible for
you to carry it on successfully.
The i~ngenius businessman does not con-
line himself to regulation or stock forms but
uses his head and devises such new ones as
his business requires. Forms that will save
him time, money, worry and errors.

The "Geel" In Fiji

The blazing hop of the Southern Cross from
Hawaii to FIJI is, in many ways of the most re-
markable flights ever ACCOMPLISHED.
BY great odds it was the longest transoceanic jump
yet made by plane. From Newfoundland to Ireland
-Lindberghs course from land to and-s approx
mately 1000 miles. From Hawaii to FIJI is 5000
miles.
Over dangerous waters never before traverSed by
aircraft the Journey also was probably the most diff
cult yet DONE from the point of view of navigation
Starting from one pin point in the middle of the
North Pacific TO land another more than 5000
miles away in the middle of the South Pacific, meant
death almost surely if the plane failed to hit
1t likewise was the first transoceanic flight whose
entire progress was broadcast to a watching world
through bulletins regularly wrelessed from the plane
itself and relayed from ship to shore.
Even if the Southern Cross never left the ground
again. its exploit deserves and will have, place Of
its own in aviation history
1t has proved the value of the multi-motored plane
and of radio guidance of ocean-hopping aircraft.
Even the most skeptical must be convinced
that mail and express soon will be winging not only
across continents but over the seven as we'll And
after that, passengers.
The Fiji islands have been brought within little
more than four days of our Pacific coast Australia is
reachable in less than week
And vet some people still think in terms of isoa-
tion-as if the Atlantic and the Pacific were not
Shrinking every day No longer do these mighty
oceans constitute for barriers of safety securing
against attack -
Already that statesman is an old fogey whose out
look is so fixed that he not see that the whole
basis of world diplomacy has been revolutonized by
dwindling distances.
What is going on in the air simply is breath
taking.
"Gee!" the United Press says Capt. Kngsford-
smith exclaimed as he climbed out of his plane after
the fight from Hawaii. He must have been little
dazed by the magnitude of his own and his COM
panions exploit yet conscious of of its signif-
canoe at the time.
And "Geei" a whole lot of people are now echolng
at least mentally clear around the world So states
men, diplomats admirals, generals and others whose
business it is to look ahead what is happening in the
air today spells much.
Make no mistake After crawling and swimming
for mlenniums, mortals really are beginning TO ny
at last Which can not fail to turn life in this ola

BECAUSE President Coolidge We

BECAUSE President Coolidge We
~ toed the McNary- Haugen bill,
we are told that Mr.. Hoover's hash
is settled. The President can easily
be renominated observers say,
though he spoiled the farmers
hope of relief, while Mr.. Hoover in
herits the farmers resentment,
though he had nothing to do with
it.
1t is hard to make sense out of
such a situation, yet, as the New
York World points out, it is easily
explained. President Coolidge has
been heralded as a superman to
such an extent, especially in the
Midwest, that it would be incon-
Sistent, if not hopeless to accuse
him of making a blunder at this
late day.
If a blunder has been made, it
follows that those Republican lead
erS who have preached the gospel
of his perfection must find some
one else to hold responsible.
Mr.. Hoover's selection as the vic
tim was tragically natural In the
first place he was handy. In the
second, he is not wanted by some
Republican leaders and the OPP
portunity of turning farm resent
ment against him was too good to
be overlooked
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-06-06
Place Blame on Hoover

Mr.. Hoover made it easy for
politicians opposing him to capital
ize the farmers discomfort when he
claimed heirship to the Coolidge
policies. He not only gave ordi-
nary folks ground for suspecting
that he had helped shape what he
was so willing to inherit, but gave
bis opponents a chance to convert
that suspicion into belief.
Hundreds of thousands of per-
fectly sane voters are convinced
that Mr.. Hoover was responsible for
the veto of the McNary- Haugen bill,
in spite of President Coolidge's sig
nature, and they find a ready ex-
cuse for being convinced in his I'M
qualified approval of the Coolidge
Administration
What more could opposing politi-
cal leaders ask? Who else was so
available as lamb to be led to the
slaughter? Who else would they
rather destroy? Who else would
certain big bankers rather see out
of the picture?
Their hope is to block Mr.. Hoover
without seeming to do so, to have
the farm politicians do the dirty
work while they reap the reward.

netsm If correspondence is found, the next thing
is to hunt for the mechanism which is responsible
for the relationship.
In this way it is hoped that light will be thrown
eventually upon the origin of the earths magnetism
Much study has been placed particularly upon mag
nec field which throw telegraph and telephone lines
out of order and render the compass useless some
times for several hours
There is also growing belief that there is some d-
rect connection between the phenomena OF gravtatlon
and magnetism.
1t is thought that any light shed on one problem
may help to explain the other mystery.
Enstein, it is true has given way of looking
at gravtaton. To Einstein gravitation is warping
of the four dimensona spacetime. 1t seems to many
students however, that warpng of four dimensonal
space would have to be warping into fifth dimen-
sion and one has yet told us what that fifth di-
mension is
The statement might be made, though some ardent
disciples of relatively might regard it unfair that
relatively, so far has given mathematical way Of
dealing with the universe rather than picture of
how Things really are in the universe.
But our knowledge grows greater eech day and that
is one Of the pleasures of living IN the twentieth

Two More DAYS

A complicated legal snarl now seems GER
tain to result in case the President fails either
to sign or veto the Muscle Shoals bill passed by
Congress. Precedents are being brought for
ward to prove that so-called pocket veto is
no veto when it occurs between two sessions Of
the same Congress- On the contrary, so it is
argued failure to sign would make the bill a
law.
Whether this theory is correct or other
wise, confusion and trouble would result from
the President merely withholding his signature.
A situation would be created that he surely
would not like
We believe that Congress- by its great ma
jority in favor of the BILL expressed the will
of the American people. And we believe the
President by signing the bill will do the same
