Cozad Fanners Organize Co-Op Egg Association .^embers Bring Eggs to Farm of Albert Simmons Who ( Grades and Ship? Them. By Associated Press. Covtad, Neb.. Dec. 30—Farmers llv 'ng near here have organized an in formal association through which they have been grading their eggs and shipping them cooperatively to New York and other eastern markets during the last few weeks. No binding contract has been drawn between the 20 farmers tn the asso i iation but they bring their eggs to the farm of Albert Simmons, near here, and the Simmons family grade the eggs and credit the owners with the number of firsts, seconds, and culls in their cases. The firsts have been sent directly to a New York market, the seconds have gone to special markets closer to Cozad and to the local market along with the culls. No poultry has been handled by the association so far. Mr. Simmons, who is chairman of the association, declared today that the shipments made early In Decem ber had netted the farmers, above the market price, 10 to 12 cents for firsts. H and 6 cents for seconds, and the market price for culls. Farmers in the association nave been making a "reasonable profit" f-oni their undertaking find are well satisfied with the arrangement, Mr. ■ immons added. As November and December are the lew-production months of the year, tor the farm flocks, the volume of business for the association has not jf-n in excess of what the family handle, the chairman declared. (Hut when the heavy laying months arrive and more farmers enter the association, more adequate provision will probably have to tie made to handle the business of culling, sorting tend shipping the eggs. The members of the association have planned to extend its operation throughout the entire county and have aspirations for a state wide co operative marketing plan of this kind. Mr. Simmons said. Several of the 18 accredited fRrm flocks In the county are Included in the sources of the association’s egg supply. County Agri cultural Extension Agent Alvah R. Ilecbt assisted in the formation of the association. Sheep Thrive on Poor Land and Improve It Brookings, S. D., Den. 30.—To en courage the keeping of a flock of sheep of suitable size on every South pakota farm Is one of the objects of the boys' and girls' sheep clubs which are being organized In the state. Sheep do well on poor land and improve tt, livestock specialists at State college point out. They pro vide two Incomes a year for a reas onable amount of tare and at times when an income is more than wel come. Because of their habit of rest ing at. night on the higher ground in the pastures, thus enriching these poorer filaces, sheep have for ages been called animals of the ‘‘golden - ^of.'' The manure and litter from he winter feed yards, when spread on the fields, also tell their story in the next year's crops. • The growing of forage crops, es pecially alfalfa, and other legumes, Is essential for good farm operation. No other class of animals utilizes the roughages which do not find a ready cash market so well as do the sheep. Culls "I’m not varv Rood at arithmetic," stated Mr* Tow. with a chew. "But T add to mv hoes bank account; Subtract Interest on mortgage. too. I multiply rhanrea for hta auccaaa. And discount hi* pnaalbl* loaa: » T've henrtened him up quite a bit. I fuels. O.

Dec. 30.—South Dakota has about 261 cooperative livestock shipping associations. 333 co-operative grain elevators and 31 co-operative creameries, according to a statement made by Christian Lar sen, (lean of agriculture at state col lege, before the recent conference of agricultural extension workers st the college. "It should be our special purpose to strengthen these existing co-opera tive organizations and make all of them real business institutions, rather than to build more," said. Dewn Lar sen. "There should be a real need for co-operative marketing before such organizations are formed in a com munity." said the dean, "and one must he careful not to destroy the marketing r.gency which already ex Ists and should know that the con 'emulated rn operative organization Is tetter. "There should be plenty of the prod, net In the community In order to se cure economical operation for the co operative enterprise. For a local oreamery there should be a pro duction of at least 100,000 pounds of butterfat a year, and for a local ele vator at least 100,000 bushels of grain. "To assure sucress, communities must not try to organize such enter r rises unless they are properly fi nanced. The elevator or creamery should .be paid for completely, and there should be at least $5,000 In re serve to do business with. With a good conservative business manager this reserve should be Increased, rather than decreased. A coopera tive Institution should always plan to have considerable money In reserve. An amount equal to the capital etock Issue Is suitable and It Is usually not necessary to have more than this. "A rigid and accurate system of record keeping Is very important In a co-operate enterprise. The manager should be a business man. honest and Interested In the farmers’ welfare. The board of directors should keep very close to the business progress. As they find lho manager capable, he can be given authority to do their huslness, but the directors should always know how things are going. The directors In turn should keep nil farmer members Informed by means of letters and occasional meeting*.

C. J. Osborn, president of the Finn ers’ Union of Nebraska, says thatj things on the farm aren’t what they used to lie <’. J was horn in Mont gomery pountv, III., June 30, 1862. lie had actual experience of get ting up in the "wee stna’ hours" of the morning to begin the daily round of work. Tlie district schools fur nished his early education until he was 17. In 1883, he married and lived at the old homestead until two years later, when he took up a hotnestead in Cheyenne county. Neb. "I can remember when I trudged behind a walking plow, day after day, when I was a young fellow,” said Mr. Osborn. "Today with power and im proved farm machinery a farmer can plow almost as many rows as he wishes. We thought It quite an in vention when the sulky came In. "We used to cultivate one-half a row of corn at a time with a double shovel, plodding along behind it. Now the farmer rides and cultivates two rows at a time. "In the last 60 years, production has kept pace with consumption. Those from the farm, who went to the city and became consumers, were sup plied by added produce made possible through new inventions.” _ About 1880, when the old Farmer*’ Alliance started, Mr. Osborn began to take active interest in the co-ordinat ing of farm facilities and co-operation of production and marketing. This group was succeeded by the Farmers Union and In 1017, he was made a member of the Nebraska board of di rectors. From that position to presi dent was but a step. "Back tn the old da.vs," mused Mr. Osborn, "we used to have husking btes and other neighborhood activi ties. In which everyone for miles around would aid a man In harvest ing and other work of the farm. If th«* farm owner had expended money to hire laborers to do this work, he would have received only a compara tively small amount for bis crop, even though It brought a fairly good price. The co-operative movement today Is doing Just what the old fash ioned husking bee did for the farm er. It takes off much of the expense of marketing. This movement through the activities of the Farmers' Union is rapidly gaining confidence among farmers. "There are several mill.s, creameries and livestock commission firms In the state operated under the co-operative plan. "President Coolidge struck the mark, when he said that the farmers were not organized sufficiently to meet organized business In the mar kets of the world for the exehunge of products. It is up to the farmer to obtain that organization to meet in dustries on an equal footing In the trade marts.1' BURGESS BEDTIME STORIES - By THORNTON W.
