(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Cars of fruit and vegetables are
often dumped at large market termi
nals but persons who witness this pro
ceeding should not conclude that this
practice is uneconomic or done to
keep up prices, according to men in
the bureau of markets, United States
department of agriculture. The whole
sale dealer Is not in a position to re
sort and repack damaged produce and
often enough decay is present to ren
der the produce unsalable in its orig
inal container or bulk shipment.
Sometimes hucksters do go over the
damaged cars and salvage a limited
amount of food. More often, however,
the labor cost of such salvage work is
greater than the value of the products
saved.
Losses May Start on Farm.
There are many causes for loss of
perishable foods between the term
field and the market. Some of these
causes go back to the time crops are
harvested. Take potatoes, for instance',
which are injured in digging. Unless
these injured potatoes are sorted out
and not packed with the good pota
toes, rot may develop in the shipment
and spread rapidly to other potatoes,
especially if the temperature in the
car is favorable for rot to develop.
Another source of great loss in per
ishables is found in lack of care in
loading. The packages must be spaced
to permit air circulation and also
braced to prevent shifting. Tempera
ture can not be controlled in loads
packed solid without any air spaces
between the containers, while bracing
must be carefully done or packages
arrive containing only a part of their
original contents.
Although care in packing, loading,

and bracing cars of potatoes, cabbage,
and the less perishable fruits and
vegetables is necessary to prevent
damage in ordinary freight cars, It i8 i
far more necessary for highly perish
able products that move to market in i
refrigerator cars, such as strawher- j
ries, peaches, pears, grapes, lettuce, I
and celery. Such products, even with
the best of care, may arrive at city
terminals in damaged condition caused
by delay in transportation, overripe
ness, or disease developed in transit

control while the cars were en route. !
Disease In Shipped Products. I
In the case of plant diseases de-1
veloped in transit, there may not have ,
been any indication that the disease
was present when the car was loaded, ;
and perhaps the shipper thought that
his crop was free from disease. Prop
er refrigeration plenty of Ice and
air circulation holds diseases in l
check aril unless long delays in tran
sit occur such perishable produce
might arrive in good condition. Such
shipments, however, often deteriorate
rapidly after being unloaded and must
be handled quickly and consumed be
fore rot develops.
Through the food products inspec
tion service of the department of agri
culture, the facts concerning losses
through plant diseases 'developed in
transit are being studied and labora
tories have been established at New
York and Chicago to work on thest
diseases, plant pathologists now re
port on shipments that develop dis

Where there Is a year-round require

laborers are not needed on the farm

(Prepared hy the I'nitM Ktates Depart

One of thu most serious phasenfof
the farm labor problem is the main
ti iniin e of a steady supply of hdior
and the Interest of the laborer in farm
opeiatlons. In both of these matters
the farmer who has little or no live
siock has a much more illflii-ult prob
lem to solve tliiiu the one who main
tains the maximum amount of live
stock consistent with his farm opera
tions. I-'or example, the fanner who
devotes Ills entire effort to grain pro

harvest. I'.etween times, especially

T ' polled to use temporary help (cspe
' j dally at harvest time), which, In many
