THE ENVELOPE’S NEWS
“I have some news for you,” said
the envelope to the stamp.
' “Good,” said
the stamp. “I am
always eager for
news. I suppose
It Is a family
quality. We’ve al
ways been known
to be travelers
and adventurers,
and we like to
hear what Is
going on In the
world about us.”
“Well, stamp,"
said the envelope,
“I would have
told you before,
but we had so '
much excitement |
in the mall bag
with those cranky
post cards trying
to make us read them all the time
that it was difficult for me to say
anything to you.”
“Ah, yes,” said the stamp; “how
those post cards did behave. One
was so dull and kept Insisting that
we should listen to It ns It told us
that a person named Molly wrote to a j
person named Maggie, and said:
t “ ‘Dear Maggie: I’m too busy to '
"write a letter. I am working very
hard. I would write you now only I
must go out. E. is well and so am I.
I hope you are too. Have you darned
the stockings yet? Aff, Molly.’
“The ‘Aff’ meant affectionately, the
post card told us. It also added that
people almost always wrote ‘Aff’ in
stead of ‘Affectionately’ on post cards,
because they always cut everything
short on post cards, their affection,
tool
“And then, of course, another reason
was that people didn’t want to say
anything they knew or thought on a
post card, which could be read by
any one.
•“Well, post cards are pretty dull.
Especially those kinds that have no
pictures and are full of things such as
we heard.
“If they only wrote something ex- I
citing or interesting I would not mind. 1
But they seldom do.
“I know of one that did. I heard of
this one through a stamp friend.
“The person wrote on a post card:
“ ‘I am in Florida and it is Decem
ber, and yet there are roses and vio
lets and jonquils in the garden. There
are big spiders, and little red ants,
too.’
"Now that was an Interesting post
card. So many people who write post*,
cards from beautiful places will sim
ply write:
“ ‘Here is where we are. Wish you
could be with us.’
“Now the person to whom they are
writing cannot be with them and it
would be far better if they gave just
a little nice description of the place.
"There seems to be something dull
about the family of postcards.
“But here I am talking on about
these old postcards and I’m just as
dull and yet I have been taking up all
the time in talking just as they did.
“Do tell me your piece of news,
envelope.’’
Now the stamp was on the envelope
and the envelope was lying on a table
in a little apartment in a city home.

“Well," the envelope began, “I will
tell you at once. A lady from the
country sent a little pressed liepatica
and a pink trailing arbutus in me.
And I carried these two little flowers
in a letter and you did the rest of the
work, stamp!
“But when the flowers were taken
out do you know that they had not lost
one bit of their
fragrnnce? They
were just as sweet
as sweet could be.

“And oh, it

“And I was so

“Well!” said the
stamp, “and to think that all the time

REISSUE GRADES
FUR PEACH CROP
Only Minor Changes From Those
Recommended Last Year Are
Favored for 1922.
MARKET gUAUTV COUNTS MOST
Color, Maturity, General Appearance
and Freedom From Blemishes Are
Big Factors—Minimum
Size Not Specified.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
United States grades for peaches
have been reissued by the United
Stutes Department of Agriculture.
The grades contain only minor
changes from those recommended in
1921.
In past years, peaches have been
graded chiefly with regard to size.
The . United States grades are based
wholly on market quality. Under this
term are included such factors as
color, maturity, general appearance
and freedom from insect and fungous
injuries. Minimum sizes have not
been specified for the various grades,
but the numerical count and minimum
size or style of pack of the peaches
must be stamped on each package.
This is a well established practice in
handling boxed apples and citrus
fruits.
Meet Commercial Needs.
The No. 1 grade is designed to meet
the normal commercial needs of the
trade and consuming public by elim
inating damaged stock which might
cause loss in trunsit. It also pro
vides that the peaches shall be of one
variety, firm, mature and well formed,
and free from growth crack, cuts, skin
uitruna, worm nuifs, uuu iiuui utuuo^c
caused by dirt, scab, scar, scale, hall,
disease, insects or mechanical or other
means.
The No. 2 grade Includes- peaches
of one variety which are firm, mature
and free from worm holes or serious
damage caused by disease, Insects or
any other means.
A fancy No. 1 grade is also provid
ed for those who desire to pack an es
pecially tine product. In this grade
will be packed only peaches which are
free from all damage by insects or dis
eases and which in addition have a
specified amount of red color. This
amount has been fixed at 50 per cent
for such varieties as Carman and Hiley
and at 25 per cent for Elberta and
J. H. Hale and other similar varieties.
The department’s action in reissu
ing the grades is the result of the
favorable acceptance and use of the
grades last year by growers’ associa
tions, state marketing officials, and
the trade generally. During the early
investigations by the department there
was considerable skepticism as to the
practicability of formulating grades
which would be uniformly acceptable
to both northern and' southern dis
tricts. but actual use of the grades on
a large scale under the supervision of
specialists of the bureau of markets
and crop estimates has won over many
of even the most conservative opera
tors.
Where Grades Are Adopted.
According to recent reports, the
United States grades will be adopted
this season by the Sand Hill Fruit
Growers’ association, Aberdeen, N. C.,
and the Western New York Fruit Grow
Peaches in Baskets and Boxes Ready
for Shipment.
ers’ Co-operative Packing association,
Rochester, N. Y., both of these asso
ciations having tried them in 1921. In
addition, it is practically assured that
the Jersey Fruit Growers’ lo-opera
tive association of New Jersey, a num
ner of associations in southern Illinois
and northern Ohio, including the Dan
bury Fruit company, Danbury, O., as
well ns certain prominent growers in
Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Vir
ginia will also adopt the United
States grades for this season's pack.
The grades hav’ been promulgated in
substantially the same form as the
official Texas grades and marketing
officials in North and South Carolina,
New Jersey and Colorado are consid
ering them favorably.
Partial or complete crop failures in
recent years in peach producing states
on the west bank of the Mississippi
river have mnde it impracticable for
specialists of the department to dem
onstrate properly the grades in that
territory. It is known, however, that
the specifications included in the de
partment’s recommendations will meet
normal conditions in these sections,
and it Is believed that they will be
received favorably once they are
known. Buyers who have had ex
perience with peaches labeled “United
States No 1” have expressed them
serves as well satisfied with the prod
uct.
In addition to the recommended
grades of peaches, the bureau of mar
fcote nmt irnn estimates has nrenared
grades for 13 other Important fruit
and vegetable crops: asparagus, bar
reled apples, strawberries, cabbage,
celery, couliflower, cucumber, lettuce,
Bermuda onions, northern grown
onions, white potatoes, sweet potatoes
and tomatoes. Copies of any of these
grades may be secured without charge

YELLOWS-RESISTANT
CABBAGE VARIETIES
About 4,000 Pounds of Seed Pro*
duced in Washington.
Department of Agriculture and Wis
consin Experiment Station Been
Investigating Disease and
Assisting Growers.
(Prepared by the United 8tatea Department
of Agriculture.)
About 4,000 pounds of cabbage seed
of the Wisconsin All Seasons variety,
which is highly resistant to the disease
known as “cabbage yellows,” was pro
duced in the Puget Sound section of
Washington during the season of 1921.
Cabbage yellows is caused by a fungus
which is capable of persisting in fav
orable soils Indefinitely and causes
serious crop losses in Infested regions.
Disinfection - of the seed reduces the
danger of carrying other cabbage
diseases to new districts, but the in
vestigations of the University of Wis
consin have shown that the selection
of resistant varieties offers the only
way of preventing loss from yellows.
The United States Department of
Agriculture, in co-operation with the
Wisconsin experiment station, has for
some time been investigating the
disease and assisting growers and
packers in the production of cabbage
seed of the yellows-resistant strains
on a commercial scale and in the field
Good Solid Head of Cabbage.
Inspection of the seed qrops. In ad
dition to the All Seasons, several hun
dred pounds of Wisconsin Brunswick
seed, another yellows-resistant variety,
have also been produced.
One result of the investigations thus
far is the development of these yel
lows-resistant varieties. Through the
commercial cabbage growers and kraut
packers a supply of the yellows-re
sistant cabbage seed is available to
the growers in sections where these
types of cabbage are needed. Resist
ant strains of other varieties, includ
ing Hollander, All Head Early, and
Copenhagen Market, are being devel
oped and will be propagated for di^
tribution in the near future.
WHY PUREBRED SIRES EXCEL
Ratios Between Males and Females in
Different Classes of Stock Kept
for Breeding.
If you are ever inclined to doubt the
importance of the quality sire, a glance
at the figures below will reassure you.
They represent the ratios between
males and females in different classes
of live stock kept for breeding pur
poses. The figures are based on a sur
vey of more than 200.000 head of live
stock of all kinds made by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Cattle—1 bull to 18.9 cows.
Horses—1 stallion to 16.9 mares.
Swine—1 boar to 11.5 sows.
Sheep—1 ram to 37 ewes.
Goats—1 buek to 26.6 does.
Chickens—1 rooster to 23.3 hens.
Other poultry, geese, ducks, tur
keys, etc. (average)—1 male to 8.5 fe
males.
These figures are taken from more
than 2,000 farms In various parts of
the country, and are believed to be
typical of average conditions the coun
try over. Since the sire is the parent
of so many more offspring than the
female, the Importance of using a
purebred sire of individual quality and
excellence can hardly be overempha
sized. There may be cases where
scrub dams are wisely tolerated, but
it is almost criminal to propagate un
desirable characteristics by using
scrub males.
STOCK PRODUCTION SYSTEMS
Among Controlling Factors Are Selec<
tion of Animals and Feed and
Management.
Well-established systems of live
stock production consistently followed
from year to year are the outstanding
needs of the live-stock industry, ac
cording to a conference of animal
husbandry and marketing extension
workers held at Chicago. Economy of
production, the conference agreed, is
the most Important factor over which
farmers have control. Producing live
stock of the best quality at the lowest
possible cost was urged and particu
lar emphasis was placed on economy
of production rather than Increased
production as the key to a prosperous
"industry.
Among the controlling factors In
economical live-stock production, in
the Judgment of the conference, were
selection of animals, choosing of ra
tions and good practices in care and
management. Delegates to the con
ference Included United States De
partment of Agriculture specialists
and animal husbandmen and extension
workers of agricultural colleges in the
Central West.

Why Castoria?
Y^ARS ago Castor Oil, Paregoric, Drops and Soothing Syrups were the remedies
in common use for Infants and Children; Castor Oil so nauseating as to be
almost impossible and the others all containing Opium in one form or another,
but so disguised as to make them pleasant to the taste, yet really to stupify the
ohild and give the appearance of relief from pain.
It required years of research to find a purely vegetable combination that
would take the place of these disagreeable, unpleasant and vicious remedies that
from habit had become almost universal. This was the inception of, and the reason
for, the introduction of Fletcher’s Castoria, and for over 30 years it has proven its
worth, received the praise of Physicians everywhere and become a household word
among mothers.
A remedy ESPECIALLY prepared for Infants and Children and no mother
would think of giving to her baby a remedy that she would use for herself
without consulting a physician.

nerves are well fed and kept free
of the stofed up poisons left by so
many ill-selected foods.

Grape-Nuts is a complete food, al
ways ready, always a delight to the
taste—and always a safe selection
for the man who thinks his stomach
is entitled to scone of the same pro- '
tection he gives to his pocket.
