A bamboo basket serves the purpose very well and may be used- a long time. ; Ordinary splint baskets made of strips of veneer may also be used, and if they can be secured at a price suf.

This of course necessitates us- ing them without a wooden handle, in which case a heavy twine-should be used for a handle. . This twine can be untied and the baskets nested or plac- ed in one another for return shipment. If a basket with a wooden handle is used care should be taken to see that it is securely nailed, not only at the rim of the basket, but farther down toward the bottom, so as to prevent un- due leverage which may break loose the nailing. Corrugated pasteboard cartons fre- quently may be found useful and de- sirable for this service. They are made in a great variety of sizes. di- mensions and patterns and when empty are shipped “knocked down” flat. It is probable that the point which will make the strongest appeal to the average consumer is that he can secure by parcel post a fresher. brighter. more attractive and thus possibly a better product than he can obtain oth- erwise. Producers should remember always that the appearance of fruit and produce is one of the strongest factors in making a sale. It will not pay to market anything but stand- ard and fancy produce by parcel post. and the surest way to establish a de- pendable, continuing and increasing business is to forward nothing but strictly reliable and satisfactory prod- uce. The average producer, as a rule, does not realize the importance of appear- ance as a factor in selling goods and frequently is careless and indifferent in preparing produce for market. The tonsumer, on the other hand. relies very largely upon appearance in se- lecting food supplies and unattractive articles are passed by promptly. Prod- uce should be of high quality, clean and attractive, carefully and neatly prepared and packed, of one variety, and, as far as practicable, uniform in size, shape, color and quality, and last, but not least. carefully packed to in- sure its arrival in a satisfactory con- dition. “Keep the Witch Out of the Churn.” Troubles arising from winter butter making are generally caused by the fact that the temperature is not right. Keep the cream at 52 degrees until two - days before churning and then place where the temperature is about 75 degrees. During churning keep the cream at about 60 degrees. The water with which the small particles of but- ter are washed after the buttermilk is churned and taken off. should be about the same temperature, Rinse two or three times with water, add sglt and ‘work just enough to work the salt well into the butter, are the directions in the American .Farming to “keep the witch out of the churn.” Take advantage of a want ad.

KX KKKK KKK KKKK KK WOULD BE OFFICERS OF NATIONAL GUARD (By United Press) St. Paul, Minn., March 14.—The possibility of trouble as a result of the Mexican border disturbances is responsible for numerous letters re- ceived by Governor Burnquist the last few days, asking for information re- garding commissions in the Minne- sota National guard. Several re- quests have already been filed with the governor. Governor Burnquist said today that the giving of such commissions as far as he was concerned was now be- yond his control, it being a matter entirely for the Federal government. The war scare, however, is calling attention to the Federal guard and recruiting is progressing as a result.
