FARMERS FIND ADVANT AGES
IN CO-OPERATIVE MARKETING
The success or failure of a farm
depends almost entirely upon the re
sults obtained in marketing the prod
ucts grown. Experience has proved
that the farmer who undertakes to
market his products through specula
tors or who attempts to ship .and
market them in some very distant
market is laboring under a great dis
advantage.
Marketing is a specialized function
and is really the most serious prob
lem confronting the farmer today,-and
the rank and file of farmers are not
equipped to perfornj this service for
themselves in a satisfactory manner.
Many difficulties encountered in mar
keting farm crops have been over
come Chrougli the organization and
operation of farmers’ co-operative
marketing associations. Co-operative
marketing has passed the experimen
tal stag, and the 14,000 or more ex
amples of successful organizations in
operation in this country offer posi
tive proof that the principles of co
operative marketing are fundamen
tally sounjl and practical.
The most successful co-operative
organizations confine their efforts to
the shipping and marketing of cer
tain specialized products, such as
citrus fruit, apples, peaches, pota
toes, melons, poultry and eggs, dairy
products, live stock, tobacco and
grain. The substantial growth of co
operative marketing activities in this
country is perhaps best illustrated by
the fact that the aggregate volume
of business done in a single year
through co-operative associations and
exchanges runs up into the hundreds
of millions of doHars.
The handling of fafm crops by groups
of farmers through central associa
tions and exchanges offers many ad
vantages, such as the improvement
and standardization of grading and
packing; the obtaining and use of re
liable crop and market information;
the intelligent development of per
manent markets; the effecting of say
ings though the collective sale of farm
products and purchase of farm sup
plies; the proper financing of all ac
tivities, including the building of
warehouses, the preparation of crops
for market, and their movement to
the markets; and the employment of
trained and efficient business and
sales management.
An organization founded on dire
need, with a well defined purpose has
the best chances of success. Farmers
who are satisfied with the results
obtained without an organization do
not feel a need for an association.
Necessity for an organization may
arise from the lack of marketing fa
cilities, or from dissatisfaction with
existing agencies. When a co-opera
tive marketing association is under
consideration it is advisable to have
a preliminary survey made by com
petent local people or by experienced
co-operative organization specialists
from the United States department of
agriculture, whose advice and serv
ices are available upon request. In
making such a survey care should b«
taken to ascertain the need for an or
ganization, the attitude of the farmers
toward such an undertaking, and the
approximate development of business
available. If such interest is evident
and other conditions appear favorable
for an organization, a meeting of the
interested parties should be held and
bylaws containing a definite working
plan should be adopted. Tiiis plan
should prescribe the objects of the
association whether it is to be at
stock or non-stock form, the method
of financing, the duties and powers of
the officers and members, and (ha
general plan of operation. It is ad
visable to incorporate iri'the plan def
inite methods of handling the mem
bers' products, systems of pooling the
results and making returns for prod
ucts sold. A co-operative association
should be incorporated in order to
giv^it the proper legal standing.
In mo^t instances contracts between
the members and the association,
whereby they agree to market certain
products through it, arc of vital im- ,
fcortanee. This is especially trtte in
the case of associations handling pe"7
isliable products. Contracts promote
loyalty and protect loyal members and
the organization. Loyalty on the part
of the members is essential to the sue
cess of an organization. Disloyalty
has caused I he failure of more thar,
one co-operative organization. Strong
men should be Selected for officers ot l
the association and men who will |
cultivate loyalty and inspire cbntt I
dence.
The manager is the keystone of
the organization. His selection is of
the utmost importance. He should be
experienced in marketing' the line of
products intrusted to his care; he
should possess tact and good judg
ment, and he honest and above sus
picion. The success of the organiza
tion depends upon his ability to meet
the members and the trade with
which the organization deals, and to
retain their confidence. He should
possess the proper qualifications for
the position; he should be given broad
powers and the hearty support of the
members in his work,‘together with a
salary that will attract ability and
be commensurate with the services
expected of him.
Ready to Give Aid.
It may be of interest to know tha»
the bureau of markets of the United
States department of agriculture
maintains a staff of experienced or
ganization men whose duties are to
assist producers of all farm, dairy,
and orchard crops in the organization
of eound, substantial co-operative
shipping and marketing associations
and exchanges. Assistance is given in
the preparation of organization plans,
methods Of financing are suggested,
and practical advice given in the mat
ter of operating such enterprises. The
advice and services of these men are
at the disDOsal of the farmers.
Troubles of a Holy City.
From the New York Times.
Gen. Ronald Storrs, who has been gov
ernor of Jerusalem since Lord Ailenby
captured the city, has some unusual
Ideas of the responsibilities of his office.
It is perhaps only an unhappy sense of
humor that leads him to refer to himself
as "the successor of Pontius Pilate."
Of the many governors of alien race
■who have ruled Jerusalem, Pilate was
far from being the most tactful. ue
seems to have bad little talent for deal
ing with a discontented subject people.
However, General Storrs docs not seem
to be the man to wash his hands of any
thing. His tastes lie In the other di
rection. He has forbidden drinking bars
in Jerusalem, "as they seemed so wholly
out of keeping with the surroundings."
Jerusalem is a holy city, the holy city of
three religions. To Its Arab Inhabitants
drinking is forbidden by law, a restric
tion in which they have the company of
free born Americans and Russian bol
shevists: but nothing in Christian or
Jewish doctrine imposes on followers of
those religions the abstinence com
manded to the devotees of Mohammed
and of Lenin. It may be argued that
drinking bars promote disorder, but there
are more serious materials for disorder
in Palestine than strong liquors.
Moreover, it seems that some conces
sionaires wanted to run a street car line
to the Mount of Olives and an interurKin
line to Bethlehem. The governor told
them that the rails would have to be
laid over ills dead body. Perhaps, as the
wicked would suggest, he was only try
ing to preserve the economic Interests of
native cabmen and donkey drivers; but
more plausibly It is a part of his plan
to preserve the sanctity of the city.
Stucco and corrugated iron ore forbid
den as sternly as street cars and rum.
Evidently the governor wants to pre
serve not only the sacred character but
the historical appearance of Jerusalem.
There could be no objection to this if
Jerusalem were'only a snrine or a His
torical monument. But It !s also a city
where people live, the capital of a
country where a great scheme of coloni
zation and economic development has
been started. Tnis conflict of interest
Is an old story In Iieiy. where the men
■who wanted to make a modern indus
trial nation grew accustomed to the hor
rified protests of excellent persons
(mostly foreigners), who held that Italy
had no right to be anything but a pic
turesque ruin.

Tells of Web Footed Men.
j From Some Experiences of a New
Guinea Resident Magistrate, by
CapL C. A. W. Monkton.
The most curious tribe, called Ag
mambu, are to some extent web footed,
and the skin of their feet is “as tender
as wet,4>lctting paper.” They live In a
marsh and are so much at home in the
water that they seem “to stand upright
in that element without any perceptible
effort.'’ They caught ducks by diving
under them and catching the birds’ legs.
“Their diet consists chiefly of JtSh,
water fowlsTsago and the roots of water
lilies. They keep pigs, swung in cradles,
underneath their houses (wdiich are in
the water bi^iit on 10-root poles), lying
on their bellies with their legs stuck
through the bottom, and feed them on
flsh and sago. The dead are 'buried'
by being tied to a stake, the body se
cured well above flood level.”
The Lane to Ballybree.
There’s a little l*ne a-winding, a
crooked little lane;
A dewey, woodbine-scented lane, that
leads to Ballybree;
Where the hawthorn bow’s are laden
with their wealth of starry bloom,
And sweetly singing little birds are
heard on bush and tree.
There’s a little lane a-winding, a little,
winding lane;
Where the furze is all in blossom like
a wave of yellow gold.
And every turning in the brake you hear
the leaves a-stirrin’.
’Tis the little fairy people—oh, they’re
very brave and bold.
There’s a little lane a-winding, a j
crooked little lane.
And there’s someone at the end of it (
w’ho’s wishing hard for me;
There’s soft winds gently blowing—a |
peat fire brightly glowing—
Oh! I’m aching to be wandering, the
lane to Ballybree.

The Holc-s in Cheese.
From the Jayhawk.
Now that the Volstead act has taken
Swiss cheese out of the class of neces- i
titles of life, the investigators of the j
governmental experimental cheese fac- i
tory at (trove City, Pa,, have finally dis- i
covered, after 12 years of effort, what :
makes the holes, or "eyes" in Swiss
cheese, and why the cheese has little
flavor unless the wholes are present.
it seems that an organism similar to
our old friend who used to produce the
Bulgarian buttermilk, is present in the
milk and operates in conjunction with !
the newly discovered "bug”, which the |
scientists have called “Number 62," to
produce the veTy necessary holes.
Furthermore, this Number C2 lias to ■
come on the scene of action at tile right
time, or the buigarlcua will combine i
with other organisms present in the-milk,
and change the sugar in milk into gas,
making either a very inferior cheese
with small holes, which the Swiss cheese
makers call a “niszler,” or one with no
holes at ail, which Is known as a
“glassier," and which is als# a second
rater.

wonder if any American picture Is so

get more sentimental. They find that
the wino is a real taste of California,
since it represents the fertility of Cali

But the world’s all right. Martins’,

tance in the rear, while parcels of cur
iosity-loving males are hurrahing over
the gracefulness, with which the ambi
tious fair one plays boy must be a pic
ture which the imagination of both saint

Skating is h« althy and so are hunting,
fishing and ball playing, but the pi ofils
of exercise can be obtained by walking
and if that were practiced more there,
would be no necessity for girls to unsex
themselves for the amusement of the
crowd. When girls take to ice they
stand “on slippery places.” Let female
skating therefore be abolished.
