HOW TO MARKET CORN. S-lled, Graded Corn Brings Best Prices. Inforna-ion frequently reaches the Bureau of Markets that farmers in the Sout-:ens tern state s are having difficulty in marketing the*.: corn, and investigation has shown, says F. L. Harkey, agent in marketing, that in a great majority of these caseS the trouble is due to the grain not being prepared properly for market. Many farmers apparently desire to sell their corn on the ear without re moving the husks. Some corn is sold in that way, but the demand is usually. much smaller than the sup ply. Consequently buyers frequently obtain corn of this kind# at almost any price they are willing to pay. The bulk of the corn trade in this country is in shelled corn, there be ing a demand for the grain at prac tically all times. As a result shelled corn nearly always sells for better prices than corn on the ear. Practically all sales of shelled corn- are now made on the basis of the Federal grades established under the authority of the UT/,ed States Grain Standards Act, which requires that these grades must be used for all intersta:e shipments sold by grade. This covers the bulk of the business and evc.i theagh no grade is mentioned in other transactions, the buyer usually compares mentally the quality of the corn offered with graded corn, and makes his price accordingly. Where he is offered un graded corn which he cannot exam ine before purchasing, he either re fuses to buy it or makes the price sufficiently low to avoid chances of loss. From these facts it can be seen that it is usually to the advan tage of the seller to shell his corn and sell it by grade. This requires that he be familiar with the Federal standards. All information regard ing the Federal standards, grading demonstrations, etc., may be had by writing to the agent in marketing, Extension Service, Clemson College, South Carolina.

If you think you're outclassed, you are; You've -got to think high to rise, You've got to be sure of youself be fore You can ever win a prize. Life's battles don't always go To the stronger or faster man, But soon or late the man who wins Is the fellow who thinks he can. How Much Salt and Water Used in Cooking Cereals. Cereals vary considerably in the amount of water absorbed as they are cooking, specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture state. This fact accounts for the thin oatmeal or the too thick grits which sometimes appear from the hand of an inexperienced cook. A cup of hominy grits should be cooked in twice as much water as a cup of Scotch oatmeeal, and it requires twice as much salt as any other cer eal. .fhe table below gives the pro portion of salt and water to use in cooking 1 cup of cereal of the vari ous kinds: Cerea.
