HOUSEWIVES SHOULD DEMAND
QUALITY GRADES ON LABELS

A new development In merchan-
dizing canned goods is on the hori-
zon. Housewives have long protest
ed that they can not tell from the
labels the grade or quality of the
canned goods they buy. Neither price
nor brand name is satisfactory
guide to quality, for different retail
stores set different prices on the
same brands, and different brand
names may be given to goods of
identical quality, sold at varying
prices.
II has been argued that statements
of grade might lead TO a preference
| for certain grades TO the neglect of
others. In practice il does not work
out that way, says Paul NJ. Williams,
of the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nOmics, United States Department
of Agriculture. Once in while the
housewife wants an extra fine grade,
say, of canned whole tomatoes, if
she is entertaining. For ordinary
table uses she usually selects
middle grade. And for making soup
or gravy or merely flavOring other
dishes with tomato, she can use the
standard or even the substandard
grade. In the case of tomatoes the
substandard can may contain less
solid material and more juice than
the standard grade.
The confusion created by the
many meaningless brand names
could be avoided by the use of four
simple grades, printed on the labels,
A
fancy; Grade b, choice: Grade G,
standard; and any other quality.
substandard. The bureau points out
that if a Gamer or jobber has any
doubt of the grade of his product,
he can have samples officially grad
ed for a nominal fee. The addition

PRICES OF HORSES FALL
LESS THAN FARM CROPS

Prices of horses have fallen rela-
lively less since 1929 than any other
important agricultural crop, reports
the United States Department of
Agriculture.
Prices indicate that the country is
already feeling shortage OF horses,
the department says, and in its 1888
outlook report the Bureau of Agri-
tural Economics says the number of
mules and horses i'm the country
may be expected to decline for sew
eral more years.
From December Is, 1919, to De-
cember IS, 1882, the farm price of
horses declined q per cent while
prices Of ell farm products declined
81 per cent. In the same period the
price of mules declined "a per cent.
On December IS. 1892, the farm
price of horses was $50 a head, the
same as a year previous. The farm
price of mules was SCI a head.
The department says part of the
decrease in prices was probably due
to older ages and poorer quality of
horses sold In terms of the
amounts of other farm products
needed to buy horse. the prices of
horses at present are the highest
since the World War.

AKRON, O.-Lifting the ordinary
farm tractor out of the class it has
long occupied as an. implement of
rather limited farm usefulness, the
new Goodyear Pneumatic Farm
Tractor tire makes an all-purpose
unit of it, enabling the farmer to
use il on the highways. where until
now steel tired tractors have been
banned because of the damage they
do to hard road surfaces.
Though introduced but a few
months ago, farm tractor tires have
swept the agricultural sections of
the country like wildfre and have
strong attraction at cOrn-husking
stock shows, fairs and similar events

staged enabled the farmer to plOw

many of which can be changed over
to these new pneumatic farm trac-
tor tires.
Some model tractors now in use
have a fourth gear, heretofore but
little used because tractors have
been barred from highways. With
the use of farm tractor tires this
gear can he unlocked. giving the
tractor a speed of fifteen miles per
hour in the road.
At Galva, ILL.,, during the national
corn husking contest, Goodyear Farm
Tractor tire equipped tractors were
in demand pulling cOrn-loaded farm
wagons around the muddy fields.
Another important feature of the
farm tractor tire is the comfort they
introduce into tractor operation,
giving riding comfort and sparing
the operator the back-breaking jolts
and twists. the difficulty of hard

steering and aching legs from hours
of constant standing which he ex-
periences on present steel wheels.
Furthermore, pneumatic farm trac-
tor tires reduce the strain and wear
and tear in moving parts of the ma
chine, thus cutting breakage and re-
pair costs.
Goodyear Farm Tractor tires are
made in sizes from 6.00-l6 for front
wheels TO 13.50-24 for rear tires.
The front tires carry 25 pounds air
pressure and the, big rears only IL
pounds. The tires are available for
a majority of makes of the tractors
now in use and the cost of tires,
tubes and wheels for change over
use is reasonable. Special drop-cen-
ter rims. similar to those now in
use ON the light automobiles, are
part of the tractor change-over
equipment.
