While there is not space this article to describe all the available containers, we can take a general look at a feev to illustrate some of the things to follow when deciding how to aput up" your crap for market. The first point to consider is wheth- er the caesp in, question is of such a esature as to be benefited. by abundant ventilation. Most vegetables( that con- sist of fruits or leaves 'will quickly spoil when the free circulation of the air is cut off. Take tomatoes, for in- stance: When I first began to grow them I put them- in tight boxes that heal about bushel. Although they were seal in nearby markets, the few hours in the boxes spoiled a good cially against light weight and heavy many hundred pounds of fruit during weight products is very severe, and the two seasons before the cause was eealizeci. After that we used slatted crates; but these were objectionable because the sharp edges out and bruised many tomatoes. Then We tried a orate -with rounded slats, and found it a big improvement. For the fancy extra -early fruit we made thin partitions, to slip in length- wise through the middle of the crates, te• prevent the tomatoes on top from resting on those in the bottom. The result 'wes that every fruit reached its destination in perfect condition. That meant quick salee for the dealer who handled: them; consequently, a preference for our stuff when the sup- ply was plentiful, and better prices when it was scarce. So you see it does pay to watch the container end of the business:, Of eaurse, each grower must work out what will best suit his own needs. 02 ccurse, where tomatoes are ges-own in large quantities for shipping or for canning, baskets are 'used. Baskets are, a rine whole, for the general run of vegetables anel fruits the most convenient and the most ecenemicel containers. Wheee possible, it is best to pack one's product in small containers that will go to -the consumer as a package, This may involve the expense of several times as much money for con- tainers as would be required for ship- ping the same product in bulk, in ba,sketa, or barrels. But the extra arice received will alinost invariably spay`any additional 'cost eavenal times ever. More important, -it gives you a chance to build up a name ari.th the people who use your products, This Is eumulative asset that will bo worth hundreds of dollars as time goes on. found that aasimple printed card with trade mark, and a word about quality and location of farm,- placed fre the bottona of peaeh baskets, brought enough new trade direct to the orchard, the first season, to pay' the printing 'bill ten tirnes over.

A return to norrnal market condi- tions in Canadian bacon makes it im- perative for packers again to discrim- inate in price against heavy and light and short and thick market hogs. The reaction in the export market' espe- seriously affects the domestic tra„de. During war the demand for all fats and most strikingly for perk almost "e-vened up" the price between select hogs and lights and -he-a.vies. The dif- ference between prices for the pro - duet of selects and of light and heavy ho,gs is, however, now (August, 1921) so great that packers are being forced to make a difference in priceof selects and light hags of from $1 to $2 per hundeedweight and In heavies from $2 to $3.'50 per hundredweight. How anuch further this will oe forced, time only will lea. At present the grading is being done on wqight alone, but it must be only it matter of a short time before quality is given equal consideration. It will, however, take a little time to create standards of quality. In the meantime anyone wishing to escape the loss due to the present differences in prices has only to market the right weights. But grading on quality must soon come, Packers have always realized that this condition must return. During and since the war they repeatedly waened breeders not to be lea astray by the temporary state (of the market, which permitted one prke to be paid for neaxly all classes of hogs. The man who maintained the well known standardis and bred the hog for the Canadian Wiltshire aide will now benefit, So, also, the man who be- came lax is going to euffer. It be all-important that farmers who are now breeding typos and breeds of hogs that do not make select Wiltshire /sides should get rid of them and stock with the breede and types that do, this •country that if butter and. cheese' to undertake the -duties involved is of transcendent importance. Before this work was systematically taken up judges frequently owed their ap- pointment or selection by favor or to local popularity, and it is to be feared results alsb. were Sometimes due to favor or the recognition of a quid -pro - quo ideal: The judges being officially appointed naturally command the res- pect that authority confers. ale sys- tem that has now been in veva for a number of years is not only being followed this year jut 19 being ex- tended.

In this case I am one of the four owners of a cutter that we use for our own -work, and because of that we are looking for the very best ways of doing our silo -filling -and also saving time and labor. The first two days that we worked, there was ono man -to feed and an- other to cut the bands. The third day we were short a man, and I hurriedly had a pile of shin-gles moved up close to theside of the feed table of the cutter, and found that, by fastening the cutting knife on my wrist I could cut bands and feed as well as two men. After that I did, both jobs. It takes fast work, and le harder than most any other place on the job, ex- cept tramping when one is short of help; but it saves a man, and under the conditions the band cutter and feeder are in perfect worleing unity, and so one does not wait on the other. After the first experience we made a temporary platform (and- 'staked it to the machine. It was about five feet long an,d probably thirty inches wide. It eloped a little toward the carrier and the feeder, so that the bundles that were thro-wn on the table were apt t,o slide toveatd the feeder and just where they were wanted, In unloading the wagon the driver can help the work along by going slow enough on the unloading so the feed- er can take care of it, • When one man feeds a,nd cuts bands the cannot spare much time for taking ene bundle fro -pi under another one. The efficient run- ning of the cutter depends upon keep- ing it busy all the time, don't know that it is any 'harder on it than run- ning ettthe faster speed it will reach when running empty. One thing that I have been trying, to get our set to do id to keep away from a loafing men. There :is no need for a man to ride from the field to the -cutter and back when a boy can as :well drive the team, for that is all there is to do. They have the un- loading man make it ais business to unload, and that only, If 'he gets too tired, baee him change off for a While) but one man will soon learn the wants of the feeder, and the feeder wild Weeds. 14 is impossible to estimate even approximately the loss caused by weeds to Ganadien agriculture. A'bul- letin recently published in the United States estimates the annual loss due to weeds in the eauntry at more than $800,000,000. Net long ago a western paper stated that the annual loss!to farmers of ,Saskatchewan doe to weeds 'wee not less than $25,000,000. If there is this loss in one province, the total in all Canada Must be tre- mentions. There are many districts in the Dominion thot stand high in weed preduetioai.

Every gardener is familiar with plant lice which present themselves in great nuaribers in the form of soft - bodied green Insects, clustering about the tender ends of growing plants. Besides the • green Hee, OT aphids, as they are more correctly called, there are varieties which are reddieh, brown or black, and °thee's( ,again covered with a powdery or weeny subs -tan -c�. Plant „lice • do • pot disfigure the plants by'ea,ting th-e leaves as do seam insects.- They are destructive, how- ever, lay their :habit of sucking: the juice from the stems. Because of this sucking haibit the ordinary poi- son us-ually sprayed on plants is not effective, in controlling,, them. It is necessary to spray with_ a solution that burns the body or othea-vvis-e in- jures 11 by cantect. " There -are ,two p -reparations of the commercial products, Whale Oil and Nicotine Sulphate, ,either of which will destroy plant lice. " In the case of Whale oil Soap 1 pound of soap should be dissolved, in boiling water and diluted. to 6 gallons. This is the strength for the green aphid, but fee the- black or brown aphid a solution of1/a this, strength will destroy them. The, Nicotine S-ulphate selution, which is obtainable from nearly all seedsment. is prepared in the propor- tion of 1." ounce to 8 gallons of water. A spray should be appllied.in a fine mist with an ordinary spraying -ma- chine, of which there are many stylet available at the seed stores.
