ADDS TO FARMERS PROFITS
Spirit of Cooperation and Mutual HeIpfuIness Beginning to Mani
 fest Itself Among Truckers.

One of the most promising tenden- cies of the day is the spirit of coop eration and mutual helpfulness which is beginning to manifest itself among the producers of truck crops, says the 1909 report of the secretary of agricul- ture The successful organization and working of cooperative marketing companies or exchanges by farmers have proved the possibility as well as the desirability of a system of market
 ing which shall have headquarters at the point of production. Products can be distributed more economically and more satisfactorily to the consumer from the point of production than from a city distributing center The work of one of these cooperative organiZa- tions has come under the notice of the department during the past year. Of an aggregate business of S2, ,500,000, this organization was able to handle go per cent of its work from central office in the growing district on a f, O. b. shipping-point basis. The prices received were equal to New York and Philadelphia prices in all cases. The net results of these operations were the elimination of losses which inevi- tably result from consignment, practi- eally cash transactions for all sales, and the saving of transportation from the field to the center of distribution in one of the large cities, which in this case added $150,0O0 to the farm CTS profits on the years business.

BOIL WEEVIL CAUSES STIR
People of Louisiana Awaken to Fact They Have an Agricultural
 Country-Raising Grain.

Governor Sanders of Louisiana paid eloquent tribute to the Mexican cotton pest in a recent Chicago address. Be fore the advent of the boil weevil in Louisiana, a few years ago." said Gov ernor Sanders, we raised cotton so cheaply that while We clothed the na- ked we ourselves were hungry. This condition maintained until the boil weevil taught the people of our state more than anything else could.
 Tt taught us the lesson that we had an agricultural country; that we could raise grain every month of the year. As a result of this lesson on January 1, 1910, we awoke to the fact that we had more money on deposit in our of the state.
 Last year Louisiana for the first time shipped millions of bushels of corn that graded No. 1. We have be- come a great corn producing state; we have become great truck producing state. Louisiana has a conjunction of climate and soil that enables us to harvest a crop every month of the year.
 Cotton is a thing of the past. We used to raise from a million to a mil lion and a half bales of cotton. Now we raise between 100000 and 25O,oOO bales, and we just raise that to let the rest of the country know that there isn't anything that we cant raise in Louisiana"

MUCH SKILL OF HOME-MAKER
Profession to Take Advantage of Many Chances Offered
By PROF. c. L. DUNTON3

The work of home making is becom- ing more and more complicated. Transportation has developed so the housewife has now the foods from all over the world brought to her door, as well as it's fabrics To be able to choose her food wisely and economi- cally from such variety and to pre- pare them in the best way is no sim pie matter; likewise to buy cloth from such a variety and to make it into gar ments in these days of endless styles is an accomplishment
 When the farm and garden supplied the table and the cloth came from the hand loom, housekeeping could be learned at home. But at the present time with the ever widening variety of foods, of fabrics, of utensils, of ap- pliances, and ever increasing fund of knowledge as to food values, as to nutrition, as to sanitation, as to nurs- ing and care of children, as to con- yeniences and appliances for the home; the home maker to make the most of her home can make use of as wide a range of skill and information as any profession requires. Today three million people are sick who should not be sick and half a million die every year who should not die so soon. Our home makers, if trained in the knowledge now available, can pre- vent much of this as well as an almost endless amount of waste in foods, in clothes, and in misery and suffering
 The home is the most vital thing in our rapidly developing country. And we all come from homes and live fh homes. Why not have them the best? |?

MORE THAN EVER Increased Capacity for Mental Labor Since Leaving Off Coffee.

Genevieve and I were riding in tourist car, headed away from Los An geles, and slowly creeping across Death valley.
