CONFIRM ALL TRANSACTIONS Quantity, Quality, Tlmo of Shipment and Routing Should Be Made So That There Will Be No Misunderstanding. (Prepared bj the Uultod Stnte Department of Agriculture.) Many of the dlltlcultles and losses that shippers of hay uncounter would bo eliminated If more care wero exer cised when making sales to see that all terms arc clear nnd practicable and that both seller and buyer havo the same understanding of them. This can bo accomplished by observing the following suggestions by the bureau of mnrkets and crop cstlmntes, United States Department of Agriculture: State elenrly in all offers or accept ances all necessary factors, Including quality and quantity of hay, together with time of shipment, routing, rates, price nnd terms of payment. Confirm ull sales und purchases by letter, In which Is stated all terms ns understood by the seller or the buyer, ns the case may be. Upon receipt of confirmation, cor rect Immediately any Items that ap pear to be Incorrect. Make Torms Clear. Too much emphasis cannot bo plnced upon tho mutter of cure In stat ing terms when muklng sales or pur chases. A greater part of such trans actions are usually by telephone or telegraph which makes brevity neces sary. A few more cents spent In tele phone or telegraph charges, however, Is better than several dollars lost on nn unsatisfactory shipment. On the part of the shipper, therefore, when offering hny for sale, whether tho offer is by wlro or letter, the following should be stated: (a) Quantity by bales, tons, or car loads. If by balls, the size should al ways be given, and If by tons or car loads, It 1b well also to state the size of bales that will bo shipped, us there Is a decided proferenco In certain sec tions for certain types and sizes of bales. (b) Quality, either In descriptive terms or in the terms of state or com mercial grades. When commercial grades are used it must be made cer tain that both buyer aud seller under stand what standards are being used. It is sometimes advisable to state what Inspection agency is to deter mine the grade. (c) The time of shipment should be specified either by naming the ex act date on or before which shipment Hauling Hay to Railroad Station. will bo made, or by using the trndo terms of "Immediate," "quick," or "prompt," which are given the follow ing interpretation: "Immediate" or "rush" is shipment within three calen dar days, "quick" Ave calendar days, nnd "prompt" ten calendar duys, Sun days nnd holidays excluded in each Instance. (d) The routing which can bo made by tho shipper, or that which Is de sired by the buyer, should be mnde In tho first bid or offer, as It Is an Impor tant Item und, together with tho rutes applying, may bo the determining fac tor in tho transaction. Insteud of stating the rate, the point at which the price applies uiuy bo given, such as "f. o. b. shipper's track" or "deliv ered buyer station." (e) Tho price should bo stated clear ly and It should also bo made clear for what length of time tho bid or offer holds good and whether or not tho ac ceptanco of cither is subject to con firmation by the maker. Send Confirmation Promptly. When u bid on offer has been accept ed and a sale consummated, whether by letter or wire, a conllrmutlon by letter, setting forth In detail nil tho terms and conditions of the transac tion, should be mulled b,y each purty to tho other. If, upon receipt of these confirmations, either party notes any Item thnt Is contrary to his under standing of the terms ho should notify the other Immediately by telegraph, so that all errors may bo corrected be fore a Bhlpmont Is made. If tho hny was ready for shipment when tho snle was made, however, It may not bo possible for the shipper to wait for a written conllrmntlon of tho acceptance by tho buyer, hut he should forward a telegram to tho buyer confirming tho terms of his orlglnni offer and his un derstanding of the acceptance. . ' '''' s W ' ' iHffi INDUCE SHIPPERS TO BOX GOODS PROPERLY Chief Aim to Decrease Big Drain on Timber Supply. Transportation Company Also En deavoring to Decrease-Enormous Waste of Goods Due to De fective Packing. (Prepared by the United Btttea Department of Airloulturtv) "Perfect package mouth," a move ment recently promoted by tho Ameri can Hallway Express company In nn effort to lnduco shippers to pack goods better, will recelvo additional im petus from scientific investigations on box nnd crnto construction by tho Forest Products laboratory, Madison, Wis., according to nn announcement made by the Forost Service, United States Department of Agriculture. In muklng n detailed study of boxes and crates, one of the chief objects was to eliminate wnsto of wood and thus decrease tho drain on tho timber supply. Thnt this is highly Important can be scon from the fact that nearly one-sixth of our total cut of timber goes into boxes and crates. The sec- Box Testing Machine. ond chief object of the Btudy was to diminish tho enormous waste of goods In transit due to defective packing. By the use of special muchlnory do signed at the Forest Products labora tory, boxes can be artificially subject ed to the same kind of shocks nnd strains thoy receive In actual trans port. From these tests It has been possible to determine the correct amount nnd quality of material to use, tho result of defects in tho wood, the adaptability of different species of wood, nnd tho best types of box and crate construction. The results of theso Investigations have recently been compiled by tho Forest Service and published In book form under a co-operative arrangement with tho Nntlonnl Association of Box Mnnufncturcrs. In nddltion tho book Includes tho standardized specifications for box mnking tentatively ndopted by tho American Society for Testing Mate rials, and also a key to tho Identifica tion of tho chief wood epocles used In tho construction of boxes and crates. It can be obtained from tho Secretnry of the National Association of Box Manufacturers, Conwny Bldg., Chicago. "3 GREEN FOOD FOR FOWLS.

The success of n garden Is lurgelj duo to the manner In which the soil hns been prepared. Tho soil must ba deep, mellow nnd friable, so that It will bo In n crumbly state when plowed or hoed. That Is, the minute particles of the soil must bo granular, each maintaining Its form nnd con sistency, When such sell Is wet, each portion Is enveloped by u film of water which Is retained for somo time. The plant food is thus dissolved and this wuter-laden plant food Is tnken by the roots of tho plnnts. LIMITED SUPPLY OF MANURE Behooves City Gardner to Secure Fertilizer Needed for Soil In His Garden Plot.
