PLANS FOR HANDLING GRAIN
Farmers Union Ia Washington and

One of the most important moves to
be made by the Farmers Educational

The central agencies in the five or
six districts will have control of the
entire warehouse system of the union.
Each agency will have control of the
warehouses in its territory, while the
heads of agencies will form a board

GIRL WINS A FARM
Philadelphia Draws 100 Acres
on Indian Reservation.
Outdoor Life and Larger Freedom of
Undeveloped Country Appear
Pleasing in Contrast With
Environments of City.

Spokane, Wash.-Miss Mary R.
Bloomer of Philadelphia, who won a
homestead of 100 acres In the Flat
head Indian reservation in western
Montana at the government lottery,
has decided to become a farmer. She
is now at Missoula with her mother
and brother, and says her father liV-
ing at Philadelphia, and brother,
resident of Seattle, will join them in
short time.
Miss Bloomer did not journey from
Philadelphia to the Spokane country
merely for the purpose of register
ing in the land drawings last year at
Missoula, Spokane and Occur d'Alene.
In fact, when she left her eastern
home for visit in the Pacific coun-
try she did not know there was any
such thing as land drawing in prog
ress. She had not even heard of the
Flathead reservation, and Montana
was to her not much more than a
name convenient in identifying
huge portion Of the great American
desert-a vast, unmeasured hunting
ground for gun tottng cowpunchers,
savage Indians and wild things.
But, while stopping on the way to
visit relatives at Leavenworth, Wash,
her uncle mentioned the big land
opening, and then and there it was
determined that she would stop at
M1ssoula, Spokane and Occur d'Alene.
and register. This was done, and in
course of time Miss Bloomer received
notlflcat1on from Uncle Sam that she
should have 341st choice among the
FIathead farms in Montana.
Evidently Miss Bloomer was happy

LIVING in COOPERATIVE AGE
Thousands of Ways in Which Farmer
Can Be Benefited by Forming
Local Organizations.

We are living in an age Of co-opera
ton and it is beneficial SO long as Its
| legitimate functions are adhered to
| All trades and professions are more
| inclined to the cooperative idea than
| farming and there is where the knight
| of the soil makes mistake. There
are a thousand ways in which farm
ers can be benefited by forming local
cooperative associations, concerning a
given territory, and holding meetings
at stipulated times, not too far apart,
says Farm and Orchard. The farmer
is penny wise and pound foolish who
is not willing to leave his field half
day occasionally to mingle and ex-
change ideas with his fellows.
Smith, Jones and Brown each needs
harvester. Three machines can be
bought proportionately cheaper than
one and the transportation charges
will also be less. Each may have for
sale a small crop of wheat. The guam
tity owned by one is not sufficient to
Justify looking for the best market
advantages, but put the three crops TOD
gether and they can be marketed
jointly to the benefit Of all three and
with no more effort than would be re-
CURED to dispose of the holdings Of
one. The same holds good in the pur-
chase of all kinds Of seeds, fertilizers,
live stock and farm implements of all
kinds, as we'll as IN the marketing OF
rr0JroSII tho
There are different pieces Of ma
chinery that might be owned and used
Jointly by farmers and in that way
but a small outlay by each.
There is no subject in which farm
ers and rural jewellers generally
should be more interested than in the
construction and maintenance of good
roads. Take a road over which one
ton only can be hauled to market with
a two-horse team, improve 1t so as to
be able to haul two tons with the
same team, and the distance to mar
ket has been reduced by one-half. The
extra tax required for road improve
ment is a mere bagatelle compared to
the advantages the good roads viii
afford.
The feeders Of public roads are prf-
vate roads, and several farmers may
often use and enjoy the same private
right Of way and keep it in repair at |
their joint expense. Aside from all |
the considerations sounding in dol
ars and cents. it is the pleasure of so
;fal intercourse and personal friend
ship resulting from it in the country
n the coming together of men for
one common purpose. The selfish,
larrow-minded individual who wants
% live entirely to himself and for
himself is curse to himself. and to
he whole human family.

Poor Pastures.

Poor pastures do not pay for the
reason that 1t is to the interest of
the farmer that his cows secure an
abundance of food at the least cost.
The animals should not be compelled
to work for their food on the pasture
by trampiRg the ground In the search
for grass. AS soon as pasture does
not supply an abundance the cattle
