FOOD INSPECTION SERVICE AN AID TO SQUARE DEALING The time was—and not so long , ago—when many a farmer who shipped his fruit or vegetables to ! market in his own name or through ! a shipper, felt that he was taking i a leap in the dark. Returns seemed , very uncertain. Having heard of in i stances in which friends or neigh bors were treated unfairly by buy ers or transportation companes he was often fearful lest he would be the victim of dishonesty. No doubt the number of dishonest dealers han dling produce was far less than imagined, but in any event, buyers | in general suffered from the frav.d --| ulent practices of the few. | These days of uncertainty for the shipper and grower, so far as inter state commerce is concerned, are gone. The Food Products Inspection service maintained by the bureau of markets of the United States depart ment of agriculture practically elim inates the possibility of unfair rat ing of produce. Its inspection offices are located in 30 of the larger cities and from these centers inspections are made in approximately 140 ad ditional cities. Benefits Seller and Buyer This service is open to shippers, receivers, railroads, and any’ efther persons interested financially or otherwise. It is recognized to be of as great benefit to buyers of produce as to shippers. In case of dispute over a shipment any’ party concerned can call on the inspector at the market in which the car is located to make a thorough examination and issue a certificate stating all the facts regarding the quality and con dition of the goods. This certificate will be received as prima facie evi dence in all United States courts. The service has been in operation since November, 1917. It is in no sense a regulatory or police organi zation. The Inspector examines a shipment and makes a report on It only when requested to do so by some one having a financial interest in the transaction.

He has no author ity to act as a mediator in making adjustments. Request Inspections by Wire or Letter Those in charge of the work aim to give immediate, effective service. Anyone interested can secure from the bureau of markets, United States department of agriculture, Washing ton, D. C., a list of the twenty-six cities in which inspection offices are maintained and from which neighbor ing cites are served. Requests for inspection may be made to any of these twenty-six points by wire or letter and should be addressed to "Food Products Inspector,” stating the kind of product, the Car number, the receiver, and the delivering car rier, as well as any particulr fea ture regarding which special in formation is desired. At present but ter inspections ore made in only five markets. A fee of $2.50 for any quantity’ from half a carload up to a full car load, and $1.50 for less than half an ordinary carload, is charged for each inspection. For inspections made in smaller markets the appli cant also pays the expenses of the inspector in making the trip. Only shipments that have moved in in terstate commerce are eligible for inspection. Since the food products inspection service was established more than 30,000 inspections have been made. Large as this number is, it does not measure the full effectiveness of the service. The very fact that some forty-five federal inspectors are available at any time has had a wholesome effect upon the entire business of marketing fruit, vegeta bles and butter. The dishonest few now know that they are taking big chances if they make fraudulent claims regarding shipments. The honest differences which inevitably arise between buyers and sellers at times are settled more speedily and with less friction and misunder standing. Special Advice, for Farmers The service employs five plant pathologists who specialize in dis eases that affect fruits and vege tables in transit. From their reports more than one farmer has learned of some disease that has been in juring his crops, and has been able to remedy the condition. The inspectors are particularly in demand when the market condition is bad. When buyers are reluctant to accept shipments that are doubt ful, they are only too glad of a government certificate which shows conclusively the exact condition in which the goods were received. Like wise, the service enables shippers to procure conclusive evidence of the soundness of products which otherwise might be subject to un derrating because of an unfavorable market. Food Inspection Offices The food products inspection serv ice has offices in the following cities from which neighboring cities are also served. Requests for inspection of shipments of fruit or vegetables may be made to any of these 26 points by wire or letter. Address "Food Products Inspection,” stating kind of product, car number, re ceiver, delivering carrier, and any particular feature on which special information is desired.

WHITE OAK SHOE CO. Dept. MJ-160. Atlanta, Ga. THIRTY ACRES OF COTTON RAISED AT CORNELIA, GA, BRINGS SII,OOO On thirty acres of red clay at Cor nelia in North Georgia, W. B. Hunter grew ninteen bales of extra staple cotton last year, which he sold in Atlanta two weeks ago for $11,300, including the seed. The cotton brought 82 cents a pound and the seed, $5 a bushel. The land Is a part of the red hills in that section. Two hundred acres, an entire landlot, could have been secured twenty years ago in ex change for a cow, the sort of scrub cow that was to be found then in Georgia. While the land was being cleared, a young fellow who was helping with the work, stopped swinging his ax and said to Mr. Hunter. “Whatcha goin’ to do with this land? My daddy owned it once. Sold it for 25 cents an acre.” Last year it brought a return of $360 an acre. This is because it was planted in long staple cotton, though until now it had been thought that long staple cotton would not grow in north Georgia. In addition to thriving on reddest of red clay in Habersham county and producing a staple that sold at 82 cents a pound, this cotton bloomed earlier than Early King, opened earlier, and the last picking was completed sooner. This protects it against the boll weevil, because it matures before the weevil has a chance to attack it; and in Mr. Hunter’s opinion makes it a variety of cotton that north Geor gia farmers can grow successfully in spite of the boll weevil invasion which is expected to reach the north ern half of the state this year. The cotton originated in Mis.ls sippi, where it was "ecommended by the government and by the state as a boll weevil cotton. Seed was se cured for Mr. Hunter four years ago by the state board of entomology, and since then has been bred and de veloped by him under the dir' ction of state experts. Until he came to Georgia fourteen years ago, Mr. Hunter had never seen a stalk of cotton. For twelve years he had worked for newspapers, then he went New York as advertising manager of the Lackawanna railroad; from that he branched out into ether advertising, and while not the originator, he is the man who made ‘‘Sunny Jim” an advertising asset. Largely through him ‘‘Sunny Jim” became known to every man, woman and child in the nation. On a hunting trip Mr. Hunter dis covered northeast Georgia, investi gated the peach industry and became convinced of its possibilities; then being tired of the slavery of city life and work at a desk, he came to Georgia to make his home. He clear ed several hundred acres of virgin land, planted it in peach trees, and proved his conclusion that peach growing in Georgia is a money-mak ing business. He was so busy over his orchards that he lived at Cornelia three years without coming to Atlanta. His first visit here was to attend a meet ing at which the Georgia Fruit Ex change was organized. Three years after the organization of the ex change he was elected president, and has been re-elected each year since then. But peach growing has been only one of his efforts. He became inter ested In cotton, and the SII,OOO crop produced last year on thirty acres of North Georgia land is one of the re sults. In an interview for The Journal he gives the history of his success ful attempt to grow long staple cot ton in north Georgia. ‘‘l got interested in cotton four or five years ago,” he said. ‘‘Perhaps you remember the year after the boll weevil struck Georgia and cleaned up the. southeastern corner of the state. Meetings were being held at county seats to discuss ways by which the situation could be met. Between trains at Thomasville I went to one of these meetings. I heard the farm ers told that they must not grow more than eight or ten acres of cot ton to the plow, and that they must grow other crops on the remaining fifteen or twenty acres. Right after that I went on a tour of meetings held in nearly every county in the cotton belt. ‘‘Naturally I learned something about cotton. You can’t listen to ex perts talk twice a day without ab sorbing something. One thing I be came convinced of was that cheap cotton was a thing of the past, and about that time I heard about a va riety in Mississippi and another in Virginia. I sent for both of them and planted ten acres of each. One proved worthless, but the Mississippi variety grew the finest looking field you ever saw. Aly wife could walk out of sight in it. Most of the plants had around 100 bolls, and you couldn’t cover any one of them with the biggest cotton hamper you ever saw. Furthermore, it was white with blossims in the middle of September. One of the state experts and I figur ed it out on paper, and we found I had raised two bales to the acre. About a bale of it had been pick ed when a frost that wasn’t due for at least forty days settled down one night, and that was the end of the cotton crop. It wasn’t much com fort that the weather man said it was the earliest frost on record. “I tried it again the next year, and this time I left the cotton a little closer in the row. In a separate plot I planted, side by side, seed from 100 special selections made the year before. When picking time came these hundred rows were as differ ent as 100 men. Some were early, some were late, some were tall, some were short, some had big bolls and some had little ones. I selected twenty of the best to try the next year. "But while I had been raising cot ton, the kaiser had been raising— well, something else. Before I was ready to sell my cotton that year Un cle Sam took over all the cotton mills and said: ‘Spin for me and spin short cotton.’ ‘‘So, I didn’t make a fortune that year. ‘‘But I tried it again the next year, and the crop matured' early enough for every lock of it to be in the barn, before frost. The ten test rows that I grew were almost alike, but there was sufficient dif ference to narrow the selection down to two. “I believed the cotton coul,d be made still earlier, and the next year I planted closer, rows 3 feet apart and plants 18 inches apart in the row. You may not have thought it, but plants do not fruit until their year’s -work is about at an end. For this reason I wanted a cotton plant that would begin to die early, and I crowded them to bring this about. Again I made a good crop, and it was all gathered before the first frost. The two specially selected plants, survivors of the first 100, were so nearly alike that I could not decide which was the better. ‘‘Mills were still busy spinning cotton for the government and didn’t want anything but short cotton. So I didn’t make a fortune that year, cither. “But I believed the war was go ig to end some time, and that the vorld again would want ‘long’ cot on. Once more I tried with two good-sized patches from seed of the two survivors of tjift first 100 va- ' rieties. The size and type of the ! previous year’s crop was about what ■ I wanted, so I kept the same plant j ing distances, both ways. That was ■ a good crop, and it, too, was all housed before frost. “Abaut a year ago we ginned this crop, and some really important facts were proved. The cotton I had se cured from Mississippi, as the basis for my cotton breeding experiments had showed only 29 per cent lint. The second crop showed some improve ' ment, but not much. The third made ! greater progress. And last year— i that is the 1919 crop—offered over 33 I per cent lint. That meant some * thing; it is a real triumph to increase ! from 29 to 33 per cent lint. “The samples were brought to At !lanta and seven expert graders were ‘ called in. Two of them were from Liverpool, and one was said to be the best cotton grader in the world. They agreed on two things. First, that the cotton was the most regular crop they had ever inspected; second that the fiber was a full one and three-sixteenth inches. “One of the chief objections to ex tra-staple cotton is the irregularity in length of fiber. The fact that my cotton was not Irregular was of much i importance. “Next the cotton had been graded ' practically one-eighth of an inch long ier than I had anticipated. No one had ■ ever claimed more than one and one- I eighth inches for the cotton sent me i from Mississippi, and here these graders were giving me full one and I three-sixteenths. ‘Full’ in the trade j means almost another sixteenth. Maybe you do not know that every sixteenth sends the price up by leaps and bounds. In my case the length of fiber got me 82 cents a pound for my cotton. “This was the gratifying result of four years of hard work. The length of the fiber had been standardized, had been increased one-sixteenth of an inch, the percentage of lint had been increased from 29 to 33 per cent and the cotton had been a fact be fore, although when I got it from Mississippi it was already the earli est cotton grown commercially. ‘This means much to the farmers j of Georgia, for upon earliness depends < largely the future of the cotton in : clustry in these days when the boll ; weevil is sitting upon nearly every stalk waiting for the next bloom.” During the last four years Mr. Hunter has practically lived in the cotton field, and in his effort to breed a variety of cotton best suited to north Georgia has had the co-opera tion of his wife. He has always been more or less a pioneer at any job he undertakes. The first advertisement he wrote after go ing with the Lackawanna railroad showed Mark Twain and a telegram that Twain had sent to a friend in New York after his arrival at his home in Elmira. This telegram read: “Left New York in a white duck suit —and it’s white yet.” It was a new note in railroad ad vertising. • Mr. Hunter was asked how a man who had lived In Chicago and New York and had been in the heart of business could adapt himself to a farmer’s life in north Georgia. “Man,” he exclaimed, ‘‘l live in the best part of the best state in the union. Take a look at the mountains up there, and at the forests, and you’ll agree that they’re just God given. You’ll see a cat sunning it self on the porch. One always is, there are eight in all. My wife and myself couldn’t live without eight cats, and how could we keep that many in a city apartment? She asked me that question once, and I told her I wouldn’t trade the walkk from my barn to the house for the whole of Broadway. ‘‘Furthermore, Georgia is just be ginning to live. It will become the greatest state in the union. It has everything to make it that. Its peo ple r have waked up. Its farmers have thrown off the shackles of all-cotton. Its mines, its fields, its water power, its mills are just beginning to devel op. That Georgia will become the greatest commonwealth in America is not prophecy; it’s certainty.” 20-Year Experiment Shows Much Progress The 20-year breeding experiment which the Bureau of Animal Indus try, United States Department of Agriculture, is conducting in co operation with the Kansas agricul tural experiment station at Man hattan, has been in progress since September 1, 1915. The principal objects are to determine whether the milking tendency in beef cat tle is transmitted mainly by the dams through the male line of de scent, and to what extent this milk giving function of the dam influ ences the beef character of the progeny. Several steers and bull calves have shown unusual merit and have become prize winners of importance. Experiments of the kind mention e dare particularly adapted to co operative federal and state work. The great length of time necessary for satisfactory results in cattle breeding and the need for records of official character make it diffi cult for individual breeders to con duct the work in a manner likely to be of general value to the indus try.

Seed Tests May Be Made With Homemade Equipment Seed tests sufficiently accurate to answer all practical purposes can be made by a beginner with very little practice, say specialists of the United States department of agriculture. The younger members of the home circle should find such work not only comparatively easy but very in teresting. Testing of locally-grown seed is aided by the possession of a correctly named set of the seeds of crops and of weeds prevailing in the vicinity. Only such apparatus is needed in making practical seed tests as en ables one to use a weighed quantity of seed from the sample, to separate the pure seed from the foreign seeds and other impurities, to distinguish the character of the foreign seeds, and to make the germination test. Only by using a weighed quantity of seed can one determine the rela tive quantities of pure and of impure seeds in the sample. This requires a balance sufficiently sensitive to be moved by a small weight, such as that of a few clover seed. But a balance of this kind, designed to rest on the edge of a knife blade, can be made from two lead pencils, two cardboard disks, two pieces of wire, some rubber bands, a darning needle, a common brass pin, and two bits of board. The only equipment needed consists of a few BB shots, flatten ed, to be used as weights. With this balance, if the pure seed from a sample balances ten shots and the impurities balance one shot, the sam ple is shown to be 90 per cent pure. Some shots may be cut into halves, quarters, eights and sixteenths for fractional weights. Such other apparatus as is desir able can be made or bought at small cost. A pair of forceps for picking up the shots and for separating seeds can be made of two thin strips of hickory, or a piece of spring wire bent into U-shape and having the points flattened. A magnifying glass is needed, but' the common reading glass to be found in many homes or that can be bought at a cost of $1 or $2 serves the purpose well. Seed can be best examined over white pa per and, to prevent loss of seed, a paper tray is desirable. There are many simple devices for making germination tests. For forage crops and cereal seeds, one of the best consists of two dinner plates and two pieces of blotting paper or cloth. One of the blotters is placed on a plate and the seed scattered over it. Then it is covered with the other blotter ami CLe ether plate inverted over the whole. There are several equally simple methods of testing seed corn. Make the Sirup at Home In sections where sugar-maple trees grow, or where sugar Cane or sorghum are grown, the farmer may produce all the sirup the family con sumes, says the United States de partment of agriculture. Many farm ers of the North Atlantic states pro duce their own maple syrup and In the southern states the home pro duction of cane and sorghum syrup is even more common. Sorghum is also grown to a considerable extent in parts of the north. It is not un usual for southern families to pro duce ten to twenty-five gallons of syrup for home consumption, making a very important contribution to the family living.

The Government has devised it, tested it and now it. But be sure that you get the right kind of Calcium Arsenate and be sure to get a machine that will dust it successfully. Follow instructions of the United States Department of Agri culture strictly else it may not pay. Remember that other things are necessary in fighting the 801 l Weevil. They are : (1) Grow only Bto 10 acres to the plow. (2) Plant seed of early fruiting varieties. (3) Use good, well drained soil. (4) Fertilize heavily to force the plant to set and mature early a large number of bolls. (5) Cultivate frequently.
