NOTICE OF SALE iiitauqua Week Here Hoped That Specific Stand ards Will Result in Im provement of Stock. (Prapaivd by th« United EtaUa DnpnrtBMnt * •( AcrlcuUnr*.) Tentative grades for cannery toma toes have been forranlated by the United States Department of Agricul ture for the purpose of providing a basis for agreements and purchases of raw material used In the manufacture of canned tomatoes and tomato prod ucts. It Is hoped that the use of spe cific standards will produce better business relations between manufac turers and growers, and ultimately rec suit in a measurable improvement in the quality of the stock delivered to the cannery. The principal of standardiiation is now firmly established and becomes more popular each year, the depart ment says. Grades are widely used in the buying, and selling of farm crops and are now considered a necessary feature of any well-ordered system of marketing. It Is felt that grades prob ably can be made applicable to most, If not all, of the fruits and vegetables grown for cannery purposes. No Standard Grades. Up to the present time there has been no standard grades for cannery tomatoes. Some manufacturers have endeavored to buy on more or less definite specifications, but there has been little uniformity In the terminol ogy and application of such locally drawn standards. Establishment of federal grades will enable all canners to buy on a quality basis and enable growers to sell tomatoes at prices commensurate with the quality deliv ered, the department says. Success of the department's system of grading cannery crops seems to de pend largely upon the establishment of definite gradations !m price to con form with the variations in quality and condition, it is pointed out. Such price gradations win furnish a stim ulus to the grower to strive to deliver only s high quality product, in order to secure the attendant premium. A fair basis for discounting deliveries of low-grade tomatoes will also discour age the grower from dellverihg low- grade stock, and bring about a marked Improvement in the quality of the to matoes grown and harvested. The grower who finds that he la unable to produce tomatoes that will grade U. S. No. 1 will be inclined to discrim inate more carefully in the purchase of his seed or plants, and will focus his interest on the elimination of the unproductive and poorly adapted strains of tomatoes and tha constant improvement of a few well-selected va rieties, the department feels. Growers of cannery tomatoes will not be expected to nee the proposed grades ss a basis for separating the crop into two or three classes before hauling to the cannery, as this prob ably would unduly Increase handling costs. '’Canners ordinarily are not equipped to handle lots of different qualities separately, and since Individ ual lots lose their identity immediate ly after being unloaded there would be little advantage In doing extensive sorting of the crop In the field, the department says. It Is felt that the more logical plan would be fer mtsw facturers to employ the standards as a basis for sampling the loads as they come to the receiving platform, there by ascertaining the grade and fixing the value of each load. To Try Out Standards. - The principle of buying cannery to matoes on grade is meeting with con siderable interest among canners of tomatoes and tomato products and several manufacturers have indicated 'their intention to try out the proposed federal standards as a basis for their buying next season. One manufactur er in southern New Jersey has Incor porated in U. S. No. 1 grade in his agreements With the growers. In western New York the grades will he used by one large operator on a portion of the acreage ^rhich he has under contract for 1924. Indiana can- iters have assured the department that .they are heartily In accord with the efforts being made to formulate a fair and workable system of grading, and have offered their co-operation In get ting such a system established uni formly in that stats. The tentative grades have been ap proved and adopted unanimously by the Tri-State Packers’ association, an organization representing the cannery interests of Delaware,. Maryland ana New Jersey. It also is reported tha< the proposed grades probably will be established as legal grades ip New Jersey by .the bureau of markets of the state department of agriculture. Sweet Clover or Alfalfa. Soil Need Inoculation Where neither sweet clover nor al falfa have been grown it is necessary to Inoculate the soil to obtain a stand of either. Sometimes In the case of overflow land, where inoculation hat been carried by a stream from other fields it Is not necessary to inoculate but it |s not wise to attempt seeding on a large scale without the certain knowledge that the soil is properly inoculated. In summer seeding the hot rays of the sun will destroy the bacteria if. not properly covered, but in the winter seeding is not neces sary to attempt to cover the inocu lation. Yellow sweet clover can be grown farther north and at higher altitudes than can white sweet clover.

Many farmers and noultrymen who would like to know which hens are profitable and which not. In their flocks, will therefore wei- :ome such a ner.t as pictured herewith. As will be seen, the nest is an ordi nary box. The front is provided with a very light door made of a shingle or other light wood, and swung on a pivot from the top. Near the middle of tbs right-hand side is shown a little bar. -tlso pivoted where it touches the door. Toward the lower end of this little bai Is a notch, which as the door is lifted engages on the latch on the side below. When the hen enters to Iny she lifts the door and disengages the latch Hen-Releasing Trap Nest As she passes through, the door drops again and closes the entrance. When she has. laid she notices the opening at the back of the nest and passes into a different pen or alleyway. As soon ss she does so she raises this back door, which is hung from the top on hinges, and a string which passes over two spools lifts the front door and resets the latch, so that another hen may then enter the neet. The only objection to this method of trap nesting hens is that it is not posslbls to know which egg Is laid by any one ben, but It is posslbls to know which bank are and which are not lay ing in the flock; and the bena can be credited with the number of eggs they lay, so that the pouitryman may know which are the most profitable birds and can select them for the following year’s breeding flock. Artificial Lights Will Encourage. Fowls to Lay A hen will lay a dozen eggs more per year if given lights la her bouse. This is shown In records kept on 100 poultry farms In New Jersey last win ter. where lighted and unlighted flocks were compared. . W. H. Allen, poultry specialist at the New Jersey College of Agriculture, describes the three best methods oi lighting as follows: “the evening lunch plan’*—turn on the lights at 9 o’clock for one hour; “the morning lighting plan*—turn on the lights in the morn ing and at a time that will allow the birds twelve hours of daylight; “ffi? combination plan”—burn the light? from 6 a. m. until daybreak and from sunset until 6 p. m. Each of these methods has . proved Satisfactory. Electric lights are the easiest to regu late, but gasoline or oil lanterns roa; be used. 7 Good feeding practices must be foi lowed when lights are used or the flock will get thin and sometimes molt. Fourteen pounds of scratch grain should be fed to 100 layers, feed to 10 pounds in a deep, dry litter to ward evening. Tills will Insure against any possibility of the layers going to roost without a filled crop. The other four or six pounds should be fed about 8 a. m. ' Mash must be kept before the birds at all times. A good mash to feed is the New Jersey dry mash, which con sists of equal parts by weight of wheat, bran, cornmeal, flour middlings, ground or rolled oats and meat scraps. There should be at least one linear foot of mash hopper space for every eight birds. One hundred pullets laying SS eggs a day should eat approximately 2S pounds of feed a day, 14 pounds of •cratch feed, 10 pounds of mash and some miscellaneous feed such as semi- •olid buttqprmllk, mangels, sprouted oats, or cabbages. me Is 42 PIECE DINNER SETS When Clock Stops—The Right Dial Will make you the proud possessor of one of these Dinner Sets!
