bushel, while in Kentucky it is fifty-six 

 pounds. Broom corn seed in North Da- 

 kota and South Dakota weighs thirty 

 pounds per bushel, while iir Minnesota 

 it takes fifty-seven pounds to make a 

 bushel. Shelled corn in many states is 

 sixty pounds to the bushel, while eai 

 corn is seventy pounds, yet you could 

 not get into a bushel more than thirty 

 pounds of ear corn. Nine states fix red- 

 top grass seed at fourteen pounds per 

 bushel. Virginia fixes it at twelve 

 pounds, yet the clean seed weighs 

 thirty pounds per bushel. Twenty 

 states have a fixed bushel of fifty-seven 

 pounds for onions, while Minnesota 

 has it fifty-two pounds, based on actual 

 weight. You would find it impossible 

 to get one-fourth of a bushel of pars- 

 nips into a peck measure. The bushel 

 ill th€ United States ranges from 1,925 

 inches to 2,815 inches. There is no 

 uniformity and there never will be un- 

 til Congress makes mandatory stand- 

 ards. The barrel measure does not tie 

 up to any standard. Sometimes it con- 

 tains three Winchester bushels. The 

 flour barrel is 196 pounds and the beef 

 and pork barrel 200 pounds. Vermont 

 has a permissive barrel, 196 pounds for 

 flour. The states will never establish 

 uniformity in weights and measures. 

 They have been trying for a hundred 

 years and have made a mess of it. ' '

ONION AND CABBAGE CROPS. 



Reports received by the United States 

 Department of Agriculture from 290 

 shipping points in sixteen principal late 

 onion producing states, show that ap- 

 proximately 18,934 carloads of onions 

 were shipped from these stations in 

 1913. Of this number, about 12,239 cars 

 were moved during harvest time, and 

 6,695 carloads were held in storage at 

 those joints for later sale. Prom these 

 reports, the estimated commercial onion
