T RUST CO GRADING AND PACKING V[RY IMPORTANT Products of Diversified Farming Must Be Well Prepared for Market. Clemson College, Oct. 10.-That farmers need to pay more Lttention to the proper grading and prepara tion of various farm products for market is emphasized in a recent let ter from a leading South Carolina hommission house dealing in farm products. After making the crop, the next most important thing, suggests the commission merchant, is how to dis pose of it at the greatest profit but this is a matter to which the aver age farmer pays little attention. lie seems to have an idea that anything he grows should sell at best market prices, but he uses little care to make it sell at best prices. Take potatoes for instance. After raising a good crop the farmer will ship potatoes to market without grading and in any kind of sack he may have about the farm. Frequent ly these sacks, especially guano sacks, are so rotten that there are hardly any potatoes in them when they reach destination. Then when the farmer (oes not get his weight or price he suspects that someone is tak ing advantage of him. lie should secure regular potato sacks, at; twelve to fifteen cents each, grade the pota toes carefully, see that all sacks con tain the same weight, and sew them up carefully. Another case in point is that of eggs. The average case of eggs shipped to market from this state is so poor that most of the trade (1o not care to handle them at all and will buy only at a lower price than they can buy western eggs. The explana tion is that the South Carolina eggs are likely to contain small and large dirty and clean, bad and good eggs, so that the dealer has to look them over carefully before he can sell them. This of course means not only a great deal of extra trouble to the dealer but a great loss to the shipper. On the other' hand, eggs from western points are carefully graded, are shipped in good contain ers whic hdo not have to be returned, and are in excellent condition for sale. One result is that hundreds of cases of western eggs are shipped into this state each week. It certainly looks as if South Carolina farmers should be able to meet this demand The great trouble, as the commis sion merchant sees it, is that South ern people live such an easy life that they (1o not care to take the neces sary trouble to 1'.arn to grade and pack their goods properly and do business in a business-liLe way. On the other hand in the north and West, Where competition is so sharp farmers know that if they (o not use the greatest care possible to make their goods attractive they will get little for them. Our farmers must learn that the products of diversified farming must he wvell prep~aredl for market if they are to commandI top prices.
