Under the new federal law when it
comes into farce all roots and veg-
etables are to ,he, sold by knight, in-
stead of by measure. This ought to
work to the advantage of the con, -
sumer without being unjust to thepro-
ducer. When vegetables are sold by
weight the consumer will not have to
pay for empty air spaces, as may 'he
the case when: they are sold, by meas-
ire.
