Agricultural Economics Of the
United States Department Of
Agriculture.
They are grades that have
been used by the cannerieS and
packing houses to show the
quality of the products as Of.
fered 'holesale to the jobber
or retailer, and the service Of
the Government inspector is
available to make sure that the
retailer gets the quality he bar.
gained for.
But, until now, no one has
passed that information on to
you, the customer. The labels
on canned goods which you saw
in different shops usually had
some fancy name, and a pretty
picture, but gave you no inkling
of the exact standard of goods
contained therein.
Recent Tests
With the old kind of labelling,
you could not rely on price as a
guide, either. Recently, a group
working in the bureaus labora-
tory tested many cans of we'll
known brands of canned peas,
corn and tomatoes.
OF the four highest priced
brands of canned peas, they
found that 8 out of IA cans
were not Grade A, as they had
been led to expect, but were,
instead, Grade C in quality. The
same held true of the corn and
tomatoes-a very interesting
sidelight on how mistakenly our
money is sometimes spent.
But now, in the stores Of one
chain at least, you will be able
to tell what you are buying be-
fore you take the can home, and
open it. All three grades, A, B,
and C. are good products. and
there is no question of their
nutritive value, and wholesome
ness.
The differences are largely in
size of piece or in uniformity of
the product in the can - the
color, maturity. and perhaps the
flavor
Therefore, the wise house
keeper should carefully study
her canned goods needs, and
buy according to the use to
which the material is to be put.
For instance, for most cooked
tomatoes, No. C Grade will
do just as well as the A Grade
for sizc and uniformity Of the
vegetable does not matter. For
other things, where you might
wish the tomatoes more or less
whole, and want to use them
decoratively. as we'll as practi-
cally, Grade A is just what you
desire.
Graded Quality
Grade A corn, for example,
is the best in color, size, tender
ness and in flavor. Grade c is
less perfect, the grains may
even be broken and uneven in
size. But for corn soup, or corn
pudding or fritters, the latter
grade is entirely adequate. end
far less expensive than the
Grade A which you might have
to use if you were serving the
corn as the chief vegetable at
dinner!
The NRA code for the can
ming industry calls upon the
Gamers to agree upon some
method of their own for label
ing quality grades, if they do
not accept the one which the
Government proposes-but their
method must be approved by
the Government. Now, one big
firm has stepped out, not wait
ing for the rest. and cooperateS
with the Government by using
the recommended labels and
standards established by the
Department of Agriculture for
voluntary adoption.
The Bureau of Home Eco
nomics points out one other
thing to remember-there is an.
other kind of label which is re.
quired by law.
Under the food and drugs act
any can of substandard goods
must be labeled Below U. s.
Standard"

A wartime shell shock victim
was torn between two desires
one for self-preservation and the
other for self-respect and approval
of his actions by his fellow SOL

of battle seemed unbearable.

WASHINGTON. May -"De-
preston shell shock" is the newest
ailment confronting medical men,
It is brought on in victims of hard
times in much the same way as the
familiar shell shock attacked sol
diers in the World war.
A victim of this 'disease" I'M
consciously magnifies some minor
ailment into a disabling sickness
in order to escape the worst diff
ficulties of poverty and unemploy-
ment without losing his own self
respect and the respect of others.

Taken Up With Fi.h Co.


Saturday, May 12, this matter
of providing salt fish was taken
up with the Thompson Fish Com
pany by j. L. Turnage, director
of operations for FERA in Key
West and the company agreed to
furnish 10000 pounds of sailed
fish weekly.
The result of the conference
was sent at once to w. H. Green,
regional administrators and it is
evident that arrangements were
satisfactory as agreed to between
Mr.. Turnage and the company.
At that time it was supposed
some of the fish was to be for
distribution in Key West but since
then the fact that Key West is at
all times plentifully supplied with
this commodity prepared in many
different ways must have caused
the orders to be changed as APP
parently the purchases are for the
rest of the state.
