The orderly marketing of farm products that is proving of direct ban*- flt to both producers and consumers Is being greatly stimulated by the Improved marketing practices extend ed by federal market investigators during the past year, the United States Department of Agriculture announces. Among the Improvements that have shown the greatest expansion are the inspection of farm products at ship ping points, use of standard grades, increased use of warehouse facilitiej under federal supervision, co-opejartfve marketing, and prompt disTtttohtlon of market news. The shipping point inspection serv ice enables farmers to have their products imtpected at loading points by state inspectors licensed and super vised by the Department of Agricul ture. Co-operative arrangements for such service have been made In 25 states, providing inspection at more than tiOO leading shipping points. In spections during the past year totaled more than 72.000 cars of fruits and vegetables. Of this number. Inspec tions In Colorado aggregated 25.000 oars; California waa next with 18.000 cars; Idaho. 18.000 can; Washington. 0.000 ran. and New Jeraey, 1.500 cam. Kaapa Out Inferior Products.

(PrvpsrvS by the Celt*4 ftstv* DepartmviM •f Agrlcwitera.) • Approximately ^ per cent of the hogs on farm* in the United States died of hog <$ol&a last '‘year. Thli appraisal of the ravages of hog chol era la made by the bureau of animal industry. United States Department of Agriculture, for the year ended April 30, 1923, and Is based on estimate! of the buj-eau of agricultural econom ics. Losses were heaviest liT Iowa, Nebraska, Indiana, Mis^uri, Illinois, Ohio, Georgia, AUflftesota, and South Dakota In order named. Each of these^states lost more than 100,- lead of swine from the disease during the year, assuming that 80 per cent of the deaths from all causes ’among hogs is due to cholera. The total itumber of swine lost from hog cholera exceeded 2,250,000, valued at approximately $29,303,000. The highly contagious nature of hog cholera makes the disease difficult to control. The preventive serum treat ment combined with strict sanitation and thorough disinfection of premises after outbreaks, are the most effective control measures. The. losses reintrted for last year are not so great as in 1913 and 1914 when the diaease ap peared particularly prevalent, but they were larger than department ex- perta consider they ahould have oeen considering that awine growers have a preventive treatment which la effec tual, If uved property before the ani mals become sick.

Approximately 10,000 fanner co-op erative organisations with a member ship of more than 1,000.000 farmers are now actively operating In the United States, the department says. As a .result of .the department’s stud ies of co-operative principles and prac tices both in the United States and abroad, the principles of successful co-operjjtUin are now fairly well un derstood, and food producers all over the country are applying them to their business. The department is regarded as the leading authority on this sub ject, the information developed being wddely disseminated through agricul tural extension services, county agents, and the press. Farmers Keep In Touch. u Extension of the federal market news service byxtelegraph and radio during the year now makes it pos sible for farmers anywhere to keep In dally touch with generkl crop and market .conditions. More than 80 radio broadcasting stations dispatch the news orar the continent, and by means of a leased telegraph wire sys tem that stretches across the country froiq^ Boston to Ban Francisco Into the Southwest and along the Atlantic seaboard.

This Is scattered evenly In a circle beneath and a little beyond the branches, but keeping a few feet away Yrom the base of the tree. For trees from five to len years of age applications of from three to five* pounds are recommended. Fruit trees covered with a rich dark- green foliage and large twig growth probably need very little nitrogenous plant "food.
