Through a growers' organization, and only through such, can we perfect our grading / and handling.

I Since the organization of the United States Department of Agriculture its workers have realized the truth of the above statements. It has been for several years the work of specialists in the Department to instruct growers in the better handling and packing of their products for market. But they have found that they could make little or no progress in a community until a co-operative spirit was developed and some kind of a growers' organization formed. With an organization the score of more grades that one might find in the cucumber shipments, for example, could be eliminated by employing expert graders who could be instructed by trained government specialists. All cucumbers would then be uniform in grade, marketing would be much easier, and a certain loss would be eliminated. An example of co-operation in .1 certain part of South Carolina this season, as compared with a lack of co-operation in a certain other part of South Carolina will illustrate. In the southern part of the state we have a truckers' organization that shipped nearly $4,000,000 worth of produce this past season. This produce included cucumbers, cabbage and Irish potatoes. The organization has nearly two hundred members, has graders, inspectors and market agents, and each member has learned certain lessons about grading and handling. He knows what it means to put up a poor grade and have it turned down by the inspectors. He is willing to pay the price of cooperation, for he realizes that it has meant money to him to market his crop in this manner. When approached he says that there is no other way to market produce. In other sections we have several | hundred truck growers shipping nearly as much produce ?s is shipped by the organization referred to above, but having no organization.

Sometimes the growers have a market and sometime they do not. Sometimes they are able to sell graded products and sometimes they are able to sell products ungraded, and when sold ungraded they say: "Why grade? I got as much as the other fellow and did I not grade." But when prices are received it is found that they range from eighteen cents to three dollars and a half for a bushel of cucumbers, which cucumbers if graded and handled through an organization would probably have sold at prices ranging from a dollar and a half to three dolars and a half,?a saving of thousands of dollars to the growers and a saving also to the consumers in the markets, who possibly paid as good a price for poor stock as for good stock. HOW TO MARKET C0RX Shelled. Graded Com Brings Best , Prices I Clemson College, June 27.?Information frequently reaches the Bureau of Markets that farmers in the Southeastern states are having difficulty in marketing their corn, and-investigation has shown, says F. L. Harkev, 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 removing the husks. Some corn is sold in that way, but the demand is usually much smaller than the supply. 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 Stop Those Headaches w^Spr; j 90 per cent, of constanc headaches are caused from eye strain. Stop in and let us examine those eyes and stop those headaches.

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 United States Grain Standards Act, which requires that these grades must be used for all interstate shipments sold by grade. This covers the bulk of the business and even though 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 ungraded corn which he can not examine before purcHasing, he either refuses 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 advantage of the seller to shell his corn and sell it by grade. This requires that he be familiar with the Federal standards.
