Shifting of the loads In trass! t, weak and partly filled packages, and lack of proper ventilation are found to be responsible for losses In many cars arriving at markets. Caution against loading diseased potatoes Is also urged because of the large number of shipments that show scab, wilt; or late blight, and" in some cases are practically worthless when they reach the market Press Potatoes Firmly in Barrels. The double-headeventilated barrel, it is said, appears to be the best package for new potatoes that is now in general use. If properly made, it protects the potatoes as well as bolds them In place. Much less breakage has been found In cars where the barrels are loaded on end than when loaded on their bilge. Wooden strips should be placed on top of the lower layers of barrels for the upper layers to rest upon. There is one serious objection to this method of loading. In some Instances the barrels appear to be slack measure when they arrive at the market, due to the jolting in transit. This fault, however, it is said, can be largely eliminated if growers will fill their barrels full and use a press when heading.

Wooden strips should be placed across the floor at frequent intervals in order to prevent the lower barrels from rolling. Use of rocks for this purpose localizes the strain and causes much breakage. Strips should also be placed across the doors to prevent the barrels on the upper layer from falling against and jamming the doors. The sack, it is said.

Is to apply ground limestone two tons per acre, hydrated lime one and one-haton per acre, or quicklime onetou per acre. The quicklime can be used to advantage by slaking with water and sprinkling the mixture freely over the sorrel. The liquid will injure the leaves as well as help correct soil acidity. Sorrel can be destroyed by spraying with solution of sulphate of iron (copperas), two pounds to the gallon of water. The treatment will not permanently injure grass and will destroy the weed if repeated as often as the sorrel tries to send ont new leaves. Spraying is useful where sorrel occurs as patches in a good stand of grass and around rocks and fences. Iron sulphate is deadly to clovers and to weeds, but is not many broad-leave- d Injurious to animals' or the soil. Sorrel can easily be destroyed by a short rotation of crops.

He will pass some time in Great Britain and visit parts of Europe; He will not visit the His trip United States. is scheduled to last six months. This travel by the crown prince is unusual and important. ' It is the climax of an education which probably has no like in this age. For nearly 20 years the best minds of Japan have been concerned with his ' upbringing and training. It is the first time that a Japanese emperor or an heir to the throne has ever left Nippon., , Its importance lies in the, fact that its results cannot be foreseen, either upon Hirohito or upon his nation. For example: Hirohito is educated and intelligent. But he knows the world outside of Japan only at secondhand. That outside world must be seen to be appreciated. What effect will this" appreciation have upon the man when he shall come to rule over f v... Japan? To most of the Japanese their ruler is more than a mortal man, notwithstanding the government is a constitutional monarchy. Europe, Just mw, is an eloquent object lesson on thJtjsby jeet of the divine right of kings, will Hirohito elect to rule as a- - man or as a god? . this Is interesting because precedent has been abandoned in the case of this particular crown prince. He Is the first of his kind to wear spectacles. He has worn glasses since childhood. When oculists prescribed leases for his eyes, there was no precedent. But precedent was made then and there. The prince is making his journey aboard the old battleship Katori, accompanied by the Kashlma, virtually a sister ship.

By our calendar the date of his birthday is April 29, 1901. Although from his birth It was expected that Prince Hirohito would one day become emperor, he has been the heir apparent only for the last eight years. He was designated crown prince In August, 1912. a few days before his father, the Emperor Yoshlhlto, succeeded to the throne on the death of the Emperor Mutsuhito. ; A month after his designation as crown prince, this youthful emperor was gazetted an officer Ig both the At the age of army and the navy. eleven.

Ambassadors and ministers from abroad now present their credentials to this modest, almost shy, youth, who also presides at the big New Year receptions and other imperial functions. Sometimes he Is assisted by his mother, the empress, but usually he fulfills the duties of an emperor unassisted. Last fall he attended the annual grand maneuvers of the army in Kyushu and is said to have taken an active and intelligent interest in the mimic warfare. The poor health of the emperor is one of the chief reasons given for the decision not to extend the princes present tour to the United States. His g imperial majesty is believed to be from an illness from which he is not expected to recover, and there is no knowing when Prince Hirohito may be called to mount the throne. There is a book much circulated among the young men 'of Japan entitled, The Making of a Crown Prince, which relates in naive detail the uneventful story of young Prince Hirohitos early years. When he was eight years old a separate dwelling, suited to the needs of a normal, growd ing boy, was built for him in the of the Ayoama palace, in which was the nursery in which he had spent most of the first eight years of his life. In this simple dwelling Prince Hirohito spen the years of his youth in study and In games designed to build up his physique. As he grew older he took to mansuf-ferin- .

He attended his classes regularly with his mates, all scions of princely and noble houses, riding each day three or four miles in a carriage from his palace.
