MARKETING VEGETABLES AND
SMALL FRUITS.
Packing and Shipping—Valuable Sug-
gestions About Each Crop, Present-
ed by Horticulturist H. H. Hume.
When the crop is grown, ready for
the market, but half the work Is done.
The other half is to pick the product,
sort. It, grade it, pack and ship it and
secure for It a fair sum of money in
return. And while nvany men may
grow a crop successfully a considerable
number fail right here in the market-
ing of it.
One of the most important items in
marketing a crop is to have a first-class
or fancy crop to put on the market.
Good vegetables or fruit will make its
way In the market, will bring good re-
turns where an inferior article will
sometimes bring the grower nothing
back but a request for freight ohargea
or a few postage stamps.
The early crop Is what counts, and
everything in the power of the grow-
er should be bent to this object,—hav-
ing it early—either by planting early
or quicker maturing varieties or by
making everything so favorable for tho
growth of the plants that they will not
stop or be stunted at any time from
seed to matured crop.
THE KIND OF PACKAGE.
The standard package for tho vege-
table In question should always be
used. It should be exactly the same
size, never short or snide. If the
quantity called for by the crate is a
half bushel or bushel for instance, Illln,l>a|>r„ „um. ,>I1UK U1
then let the measure be full to over- highest price, the fruit should be we
flowing. | formed, highly and uniformly colore
The crates should be well made. Any free from sand and dirt. Be carefi
one who 'has followed a Shipment from and not pack bruised fruit. Rail
the loading point to its destination, or'soaked fruit will not carry well
round, smooth specimens about twe
and one-half Inches in diameter are tin
choicest. No rough fruits should g(
into tho package. I.ook out for tin
rotten ones. Pick when fully maturec
aud Just beginning to color. If to lx
shipped a greater distance, then some
what greener. Always wrap cacl
specimen with paper. Beware of over
ipe ones.
Beans—Avoid In particular diseased
pods. Indicated by the appearance ol
more or less roundish, red spots on thr
pods. These are unsalable. See that
they do not become wilted before pack
lng.
Peas—Not over-ripe, not half-grown
—both these extremes must be avoid
ed. But little time should elapse bo
tween picking and shipping, as they
must not be allowed to become wilted
Fresh green stock Is always beat.
Watermelons—Beware of green mel
ons.
Cnntaloupes—Look out for "slick’
or poorly netted specimens. For thf
best packages only well netted fruits
Forty-five is the favorite size. Ne
overripe, soft or damaged fruit should
be packed. A large amount of rainfall
at ripening time is ruinous, and one
should go slow about shipping at such
a time Be certain that the rain has
not ruined the quality before forward
ing them
Lettuce—Must be free from sand
Look out for seed heads and leafy
specimens. To sell 'well, the crop must
go In fresh and green, not wilted.
Strawberries—Discard all nubbins,
(caused usually by frost injury), nli
small, misshapen fruit. To bring the
who has wutched the unloading of a
car at the market, or watohed the
transfer of an express shipment at
some transfer point, will understand
what rough handling the packages
receive and how necessary it is that
they be made of good material, well
nailed together.
Under all circumstances have the
crates -neat, clean and attractive. To
have a presentable looking exterior
on the crate wil go a long way toward
selling its contents.
GRADING.
Herein frequently lies the difference
between success and failure, between
profit and loss. Grade rigidly. It al-
ways pays to do so and the lower the
market, the closer the grading should
be done. When the market Is up. in-
ferior stufr may be sold, though It is
Inadvisable, In that It tends to lower
the generaj price, but when it is down
ship nothing but the very choicest.
We sometimes lose sight of the fact
that we must in -the end pay the
freight, directly or Indirectly, and it
Is poor policy to pay freight on in-
ferior stufT. Establish a reputation for
a -superior grade of vegetables or fruit
leave the -Inferior, unripe, misshapen
and -small specimens—the culls, In
short—at home.
SPECIAL REMARKS ON GRADING
EACH CROP
Cabbage—Pack only solid, well-
formed heads; discard those which
are soft and leafy. If these latter are
packed they settle a great deal In
transit and do not open up well. A
slack crate Is always at a discount.
Cucumbers—Discard all half-grown,
stunted and misshapen cucumbers and
do not pack wilted or over-ripe ones.
Choose well-developed, smooth, well-
colored fults. Those showing a great
deal or white, even though well col-
ored on one side, are not good sellers.
Radishes—Look out for pithy speci-
mens—they should not be shipped;
Dewberries—Do not pack over-rip-
speclmrns; they bruise too readily. 1
few such fruits in a basket will spoil il
PACKING.
The packages should be filled snui
and full. All that can be put in with
out bruising or injuring, should be th-
rule. Many vegetables shrink afte
packing and other settle badly. Tin
report, comes back: "Packages toi

same time remember that undue pros

more or less than dishonesty, and t

Root vegetables, such as beets, rad

Do not bruise the leaves.

The politician is now abroad In tho
land. As a rule each one should be
carefully and thoughtfully heard in
his behalf. Tho filling of the offices
Is thereby of roneern to every citizen
who hopes to hand down to posterity
the institution of government unsul-
lied. The most important considers-
lion in the filling of an office Is the
character of tho man who Is elected.
In the very nature of things, all of-
ficials are held up as some sort of ex-
ample to the people. Tho matter of
next import is the special ability of
the candidate for filling the place.
What Is meant by this is that tho can-
didate should give some reason why
he should bo elected Instead of other
good men. The final, and most iriifon-
•lequental matter Is whether the can-
didate needs tho office. This latter
consideration should not be over-
looked, but. It should be subjective
to tbe other considerations.
There are many country schools
that open soon and run through the
summer. These schools should be
more careful, If possible, than those
that run for longer periods. The
short term given the children should
have the very host utilization. Don't
lot politics or popularity of some one
cut any figure in the selection of a
teacher; consider only the value of
the teacher as an instructor.
Don’t forget tho namo "Educa-
tional." Thai's tho magic word that
leada to the “know," aua to Know Is to
bo master of all you survey.

man into the Union. One good man
is worth a dozen of "Just any sort" of

Twenty acres well tilled will pro-
duce better results than forty acres
half cultivated. A revolution is im-
pending In the methods of farming In
this State. The Increased returns re-
sulting from the judicious use of ma-
nures, and from Intensive culture,
seem Incredible to those who have
r.ien only the usual haphazard, slip-
shod way of half-cultivation which
prevails In the Southwest. Agricul-
ture is as much a science as the law
as civil engineering, as medicine or
as commerce. Knowledge of the
chemistry of the soil, the ability -to
estimate and Ueermine the adapts-
blllty of the soil and climate to par-
ticular products, contribute* to suc-
cess, where the want of knowledge of
the elementary principles of scien-
tific agrlculturs would spell failure.
The miserable old Idea that, any
fool can farm successfully, that brain

sary qualification for the farmer, and

In the sale of farm products. Ware-

are steps toward bringing order and

anarchy and chaos.
Manufacturers set their own prices
when they place their wares on the
market. It is a late Innovation for
farmers to do the same—but It must
soon become the custom. Why not?
