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

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

who are now breeding typos and
breeds of hogs that do not make select

After being with a silo cutter far

things that must he observed by the
most of. us that vvill pay you to know
anti look out for, and -if they caa be
discovered through' someone else
they are the means of saving much
time. 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,

ning of the cutter depends upon keep-
ing it busy all the time, don't know

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-

approximately the loss caused by
weeds to Ganadien agriculture. A'bul-

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

Plant Lice and Their Control.
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.
