DISCARD DISEASED PRODUCT Load With Care to Prevent Shifting and Breakage—Sacks and Hamp ers Not Suitable—Loading on Bilge Is Not Safe. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) More care in loading cars will pre vent much damage in shipments of new potatoes, say specialists of the bureau of markets, United States De partment of Agriculture, discussing methods of loading and types of con tainers in use. Shifting of the loads in transit, weak and partly filled puck ages, and lack of proper ventilation are found to be responsible for losses In many cars arriving at markets. Cau tion against loading diseased potatoes Is also urged because of the large number of shipments that show scab, wilt, or late blight, and in some eases are practically worthless when they reach the market Press Potatoes Firmly in Barrels. The double-headed ventilated bar rel, it is said, appears to be the best package for new potatoes that is now In general use. If properly made, it protects the potatoes as well as holds them in place. Much less break age has been found in cars where the barrels are loaded on end than when loaded on their bilge. Wooden strips should be placed on top of the lower layers of barrels for the upper layers to rest upon. There i6 one serious objection to this method of loading. In some instances the barrels appear to be slack measure when they arrivf at the market, due to the jolting in transit. This fault, how ever, it is said, can be largely elim inated if growers will fill their barrels full and use a press when heading. Loading barrels on their bilge is said not to be a safe practice unless head liners (strips to prevent heads bulg ing) are used. It is said that the use of headliners would prevent nine tenths of the breakage in all types of loads with barrels. Records show that practically every car has from 3 5 I What Happens When Barrels Are Loaded on Their Bilge—Characteris tic Breakage in a Car of Double- Headed Barrels—The Heads Give Way and the Barrels Collapse From the Weight Above, Causing Bruising and Mashing of the Potatoes. to 30 or more barrels broken on ar rival at the market. Extra bracing is needed when barrels are loaded on their bilge. Prevent Barrels Rolling. Wooden strips should be placed across the floor at frequent Intervals In order to prevent the lower barrels from rolling. Use of rocks for this purpose localizes the strain and causes much breakage. Strips should also be placed across the doors to prevent the barrels on the upper layer from falling against and jamming the doors. The sack, it is said, is not a suitable container for tender new potatoes it offers no protection from bruising, and when loaded is hard to ventilate. If sacks are to be used they should be of no greater capacity than 120 pounds. This size sack can be han dled with much greater care and lends itself to ventilation better than larger sizes. Neither are hampers, it is said, suitable packages for potatoes. They do not have the necessary strength for the weight of their contents, and offer little protection for the potatoes. Crates of various sorts are being used, and, according to reports, ap pear satisfactory where the strength of the crate is sutlicient for the weight of its contents. Weak crates should not be used under any circumstances, and crates with wide opening tend to wilt the potatoes while In transit. Crates must be loaded tightly and firm ly. and no slack space left without suitable bracing, while stripping is rec ommended. No matter what container ts used, it is said, the grower should exercise great care to keep diseased and injured potatoes out of it. A very high per centage of the cars arriving at north ern markets show much scab, bacteria wilt, late blight, or all three. Grow ers should also see that their packages are well filled. Weak packages should not be used. AUDUBON COUNTY JOURNAL GROW TWO CROPS OF TURNIPS IN GARDEN Tops Make Excellent Greens in Southern States. If Sown in Drills Soil May Be Stirred Between Rows and Plants Kept Growing Rapidly—Will Stand Considerable Cold. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Turnips are one of the most univer sally grown of all garden crops. In the northern states turnips are planted in midsummer and stored for winter use. In the southern states they are plant ed early In spring for early summer use, also in the fall for use during the winter. Turnip tops make excellent winter greens throughout the greater part of the southern states. For early spring culture it is customary to sow the seed in drills about a foot apart and thin the plants to about three inches in the drill. By this method An Excellent Type of Turnips. the soli may be stirred between the rows and the plants kept growing rap idly so as to attain reasonable size before the heated term of early sum mer sets in. In the North it is customary to sow the seed broadcast about the 25th of .Tuly on land from which early peas, early potatoes, or some other early crop has been removed. The land is raked smooth and the small seeds sim ply scattered over the surface, then covered by again raking the soil. No cultivation is required where the seeds are sown broadcast. In the southern states turnips are frequently destroyed by plant lice that suck the juices of the leaves. These insects are rather difficult to control, spraying with nicotine preparations be ing about the only remedy. Turnips stand considerable cold, but those that are to be placed in pits or in the cellar for winter use should not be allowed to freeze before being stored. If they become frozen in stor age, they should not be disturbed until they thaw naturally. PLAN TO ERADICATE SORREL Apply Ground Limestone, Hydrated Lime or Quicklime—Rotation of Crops Is Good. A good treatment for sheep sorrel, according to the Un.teil States Depart ment of Agriculture specialists, is to apply ground limestone two tons per acre, hydrated lime one and one-lialf ton per acre, or quicklime one ton per acre. The quicklime can be used to ad vantage by slaking with water and sprinkling the mixture freely over the sorrel. The liquid will injure the leaves as well as help correct soil acid ity. Sorrel can be destroyed by spray ing with solution of sjilpliate of Iron (copperas), two pound's to the gallon of water. The treatment will not per manently injure grass and will destroy the weed if repeated as often as the sorrel tries to send out new leaves. Spraying Is useful where sorrel occurs as patches in a good stand of grass und around rocks and fences. Iron sulphate is deadly to clovers and to many broad-leaved weeds, but is not injurious to animals or the soil. Sor rel can easily be destroyed by a short rotation of crops. If possible, the rota tion should be arranged so that the soil will be cultivated at different sea sons of each year. EETTER PROFITS IN POULTRY Specialists of Department of Agricul ture Give Reasons for Favoring Standard-Breds. llere are five reasons given by spe cialists of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture for keeping standard-bred poultry: Standard-bred poultry Is more uni form in size, type and color. Standard-bred poultry Is more at tractive in appearance and appeals more strongly to purchasers of stock and eggs. Standard-bred poultry offers a greater combination of practical and useful qualities suitable to the needs of the farmer and poultry keeper. Tiie products of standard-bred fowls are more uniform in quality, are In greater demand, and bring better prices. Standard-bred poultry means great? er success and better profits. IN SUMMER IS GAY WITH ORGANDY 111 WHEN the blithe shopper, seeking midsummer frocks, brings up at the organdie display, she is In a fair way to grow reckless. The dain tiness of this farbric and the lovely colors shown in it, have resulted in a tremendous vogue for organdie dress es besides it is easy to make up and comparatively inexpensive. It is Used for hats and bonnets, for trim mings and flowers and combined with other materials in numberless ador ably pretty and simple gowns. Some times it finds itself in the company of gingham and sometimes with silk, fitting in with one as well as with the other. But often two colors in organdie are made up together. The frock at the right of the two pictured here, is an example of the two-color combination in which a light When in Quest of Hats selecting lieadwear becoinlngness is, above all things, the most es sential factor to be considered. It Is the Intangible thing that makes the simplest hat a success, and without it the most elaborate and exquisite is a failure. There are as many types of hats as there are of women, so that we may go forili confidently, and painstakingly, to be rewarded by mil linery that flatters, and sometimes al most transforms us. The becoming midsummer dress hat Is not hard to find, as a rule, because it Is made in such great variety. A lit tle study of the group of model hats shown above reveals them suited to wearers that differ greatly in expres sion and personality, and who might differ much in age, except that nearly all hats are posed on young women.
