AGENTS SELL FARM PRODUCE
Number of Farmers Cooperative As socations Making Rapid Increase
 All Over Country.

The number of farmers cooperative associations through which produce is marketed Is increasing continually Various fruits and vegetables, grain, tobacco, peanuts, rice and other prod ucts are sold by the agents of such associations, says Market Growers Journal, In the state Of Colorado alone there were in 1907 at least thir ty-three such organizations, and the products handled by them included cantaloupes, peaches. honey, potatoes, and miscellaneous fruits and yegeta- bles. number of California associa- uons have united to form larger bodies through which sales are made, while the local organizations pack and load the produce.
 At least two produce exchanges have been conducted successfully for a number of years by truck growers of the peninsula lying between the Chesapeake bay and the Atlantic ocean. The cranberry crop is market ed largely through farmers organiza- lions, and similar associations, too nu- merous to be listed nere, are improv-  ing conditions of marketing in other parts Of the United States
 The extent to which the cooperative movement among farmers is distrib- uted may be illustrated by the apples from Hood River, Ore, which are mar keted in this way; fruits and vegeta- bles from Yuma Valley, Arizona, eel cry from Florida, cantaloupes from Tennessee, onions from central and western Texas, tobacco from Ken lucky, grain from Minnesota and North Dakota, rice from Texas, peaches from Georgia. vegetables from Louisiana, and various articles from Michigan, in addition to a large num- Der of products from California.
 Two of the important results of CO., operation in marketing have been the shipment of better grades of fruits and vegetables. and the command by the farmers of a greater influence in the market on account of large quanti- ties of produce being controlled by single authority.

Rhodes be fell in with an adventure
which may be something more than
legend. When he was crossing the
Aegean, his vessel is said 10 have been
taken by pirates. They carried him
to Pharmacusa, an island of the Ca
rian coast. which was then in their
possession. and there he was detained
for six weeks with three Of his attend
ants, while the rest of his servants
were sent to the nearest Roman sta.
ton to raise his ansom
The pirates treated him with polite
ness. He joined in their sports. played
games with them, looked into their
habits and amused himself with them
as well as he could, frankly telling
them at the same time that they would
be hanged.
The ransom. a very large one. about
10000. was brought and paid, Caesar
was set upon the mainland, near Mi
letus. where. without a moments
delay, he collected some armed vessels,
returned TO the island, seized the
whole crew while they were dividing
their plumber and took them away to
Pergamus, the seat Of government in
the Asiatic province, where they were
convicted and crucifed. Clemency was
not a Roman characteristic. II was
therefore noted with some surprise
that Caesar interceded TO mitigate the
severity Of the punishment The poor
wretches were strangled before they
were stretched on the crosses and
were spared the ~prolongation Of their
torture.-James Anthony Froude.
