Growers of fruits and vegetables are appreciating more and more the benefits possible through organization in marketing their products.

Will Find Bureau Grades Helpful. Where the association is organized for the purpose of selling, the organizers often lose sight of the fact that some standard must be adopted for marketing their products. Individuals or organizations will find the recommended or proposed grades formulated by the bureau of markets, United States Department of Agriculture, very helpful as a basis for their packs or brands. One Florida truck growers' association adopted this past season the tentative United States grades for cucumbers as a basis for their "Fancy" and "Choice" packs, marketing them under their leading brand.

This Inspection service gave the bureau of markets an opportunity to determine In the field whether the grades as formulated would be practical, at least under Florida conditions. The association packed all cucumbers through a central packing shed, each grower's product thus being graded by a disinterested person. This made for uniformity of the product. Kvery car loaded by the association was approximately 4 to 5 per cent within the grade requirements. Nearly every car Inspected outside the central packing house was below grade, ranging 8 to 20 per cent In excess of the 10 per cent tolerance allowed for defective or cull stock.

Then he turned his attention to an alleged graft ring composed of Des Moines police officials. He caused the demotion of the chief of police, his assistant and the chief of detectives.
