CO.0PEn.Tl VE MA ItKKTINO (From Fnrm tturenu News) production of foodstuffs hns Jor generations been considered ns the formers job. Somehow or other it was presumed that the farmer would be able to make n respectable living out of the products of his soil. How he was to secure that living seemed to be of no concern to any but him self. American farmers seemed to prosper beyond all other farmers of the world; and we all rejoiced be cause our national life was gradually surpassing every other nation. But the development of railways, shipllnes, telephones, telegraph, stor age arid all other factors of our new business brought ui in closer com pany to all the world farmers. Busi ness organizations which had former ly been content to make profits on American farm produce, saw oppor tunities to gather profits from other nations' farmers. The American farm goods were thus brought in closer competition with similar goods from other lands. Substitutes for the lard of the hog grower competed With lard. Wool from Australia and South America came to the same mills as did American wool. Eggs produced under unsanitary conditions in China sold to consumers in our large American cities' in competition with eggs from our own farmers. Canadian wheat, and corn from Ar gentina catno by carlots and ship loads, Business men concerned ihemselvcs with handling ull these products, caring but little how the producer fared financially. 'Such conditions could hardly con tinue long among producers who were of a thinking class; besides, their finances becanie reduced to that point where oppression wus keenly felt. Gradually it came to the American farmer that his own safe ty lay in some sort of an organiza tion which would bring to him a largor share of the dollar which the consumer spent for his produce. The co-operative marketing spirit was born in the minds of thousands of farmers in a single season. A desire to' invest capital in all the agencies which handle farm produce became general among farmers. They were willing to assume the risk, furnish the capital, pay operating expenses and take the legitimate profit which had previously gone to other men. The essentials of co-operativ'6 mar keting as recognized by our best au th6rltio8 are: 1. Capital must be paid a nominal irto of interest and must be conslu cred only as an agent in doing huh! ncss. 2. A member of an organisation must bo limited to only One veto re gardless of how' much capital he find invested. ' ' 3. Volume of 'business handled Is the factor which makes for success; therefore the profits from the busi ness must be pro-rated to the mem bora in direct proportion,, to tne pro duce sold by them through the com nnny. 4. Each lino of production must novo Its own company. Livestock men will not take an active interest in sales of wheat. Fruit growors cannot aid in marketing cotton, fi. The nrohable uinmlv of the nro duce must bo known to the selling agency of the co-operative company. G. Members of the co-operative company must band themselves to gether for a considerable length of time. They must be loyal to their own company and enthusiastic for its success. - 7. Unit organizations must He in nn"nren' small enough that every member feels an interest in every other member's welfare in this spe cial line. .' l 8. The company Itself must bo organized as a non-profitable com pany. Its members are to be the paijtlos who receiye the profits 6f the company. This is not a complete list of fac tors which make u successful u successful co operativo company. Eftch individual company will find speclul needs within its pwir organization. Faith ' in me men who manage the ultnlra Is positively essential. A willingness to' yielu a little personal advuntage for the good of the company will often have to be made by .influential members. Ptomotors of co-pperatlvd companies must be certain thai the concern which they desire to promote is "a child of necessjty and crystul izes around a vital economic ques tion." ""Members must bo sure that they believe in the men and the move ment, and mo willing to furnish au amountof products sufficient to make a good sized business. "s, ARTHUR N.

During the ears from 1913 to,1918 the Illinois Experiment Station. stud ied labor costs of tractors and horses In several Illinois farms. The var ious items entered into the cost of horse labor were feed, labor, interest, shelter, harness and miscellaneous. Tractor work was studied 'on 100 farms, considering data oiv-the fol- lowing factors: Custom work' done, belt work done on own farm, increas- es in crop yields, saving in man labor, and saving In horse lubor.

The average onnuul cost of keeping horses during the years 1913 to 1916 inclusive, on i.ne inrms siuuieu, ranged from $87.09 to $96.02 per horse.
