FRUIT ASSOCIATION IN WEST
California Ranchers Who Were Dissas-
isfied With Low Prices Form Or
ganization for Protection.

The Western Slope Mutual Fruit
Growers association seems to be IN
line as success. It is organized by
a number OF Grand valley ranchers
who were dissatisfied with the low
prices received for some OF their fruit,
says the Denver Field and Farm It
now promises to reach over the entire
fruit country on the western slope.
The movement originated in an at
tempt by the orchardists to rid them
selves of the awful middlemen who
will hold meeting of their own out
in Sacramento, California, to deter
mine in turn what they viii do, to the
fruit growers and SO the merry war
goes on. The plan of the new mutual
association is that no person who Is not
raising fruit can hold stock and re-
ceive dividends of the concern. The
their fruit is eaten up by dividends to
stockholders in the present shipping
associations who formerly owned or
chards and raised fruit, but who have
sold their land. Tie ranchers also
charge that the officers of the present
association are receiving too large sal
aries, $500 year being paid to the
manager Of the Grand Junction assoc
=iation. Under the new system only
the men actually raising fruit can be
stockholders in the association and
then only on an acreage basis. One
share will be issued for every acre
bearing fruit. The plant of the Pal
isade peach association has been pur-
chased by the new mutual company
for $500 and negotiations are on for
the purchase of several of the larger
associations SO as to wind up their
little bail Of yarn. The whole plan
thus far evolved in Colorado proves
that organization alone is not the only
thing necessary to fetch good prices
and we will have to- try something
smarter. The trouble with most OF
the shipping associations is that they
become top-heaVy with expense and
this eats up the profits.

FORM A BREEDING SOCIETY
Michigan Cooperative Organization
Was Started by House to House
Canvass by Agent.

w. #. Raven, field agent for the
Michigan Agricultural college, spoke
recently in New York on Methods of
Organizing Cooperative Breeding as
sociations.'' Mr.. Raven explained
how he had gone from house to house
and induced the farmers in certain
sections to bind themselves into a
legally organized association, agree
ing to use only purebred sires OF q
certain breed.
About 100 cows are represented by.
such an association. Three breeds
are bought, and the cows are divided
into three sections and a bull placed
at the head of each, where he remains
for two years, when the bulls are
changed to other sections. In this way
the three bulls are used for six years,
and thus give the advantage of using
mature sires.
The speaker pointed out the advan,
tages of all the farmers in a neigh
borhood keeping only one breed of
cattle by saying that cattle brought
higher prices where buyers could pick
up carload in small community.
The Joker" to Mr.. Ravens plan
seemed to be that all cows going in.
to such an association must be tuber-
culin-tested by state veterinarian,
and that the farmers must bind them.
selves to buy only such tuberculin,
tested cows. 1T

MAROON IN SHARP CRITICISM
Chicago University Is Charged With
Proseiyting for Students With
Records as Athletes.

Severe criticism of the athletic de-
partment of the University of Chicago
are made by the Daily Maroon, the un-
dergraduate newspaper OF the instltu-
ton, in a recent issue.
IN addition to charging the univer'
sity with PROSECUTING for students with
records in athletics, the Maroon at
tacks intercollegiate athletics in gen
eral.
Some of the charges are:
Candidates for the football team are
kept at work SO long that they cannot
make even pretense Of studying.
Students enter the university largely
because of the opportunity Of exercis-
ing their athletic prowess.
That SO per cent. of the students
take no part in athletics except to
shrek from the bleachers.
That those SO per cent. have an in
sane desire to win and do not honor
any team which fails to come home
with the spoils.
That the remaining one per cent.
which takes part in athletics is physi-
cally injured by the exercise involved.
These things explain, the article
maintains, why college alumni are
not taking the active part in the af-
fairs Of the country they should and
account for "the commercial and po-
litica1 dishonesty that furnishes work
for grand juries and the senate COM
mittees and the jailers.
Not even the most enthusiastic sup
porter of intercollegiate athletics can
assert that it is genuinely student
activity" the editorial says. IA con-
sists in ensnaring into college By spec
tacular methods students who have al
ready established athletic records in
preparatory schools. Little attempt Is
made to conceal the fact that these
students enter the university largely
because of the opportunity exercis.
ing their athletic prowess.
Zone per cent. Of the student body
specializes in athletics, while the other
SO per cent sits on the bleachers and
gives vent to primitive shrieks.
Athletics Is today too much Of a
business It's only object is victory
Can anybody maintain that athletes
can even make pretense Of studying
when they are kept out on the athletic
field from three o'clock to seven and
eight o'clock at night? Can student
arising from hastily eaten meal at
$3.50 in the evening be expected to put
forth any serious intellectual effort
when he has been battered around on
the football field for four or FIVE
tours?'

DAKOTA FARMERS IN UNION
Buy Town Site Of voItaire, Erect
Their Own Building, Telephone
System and Elevators.

Cooperation seems to be CON
tagious at Voltaire, N. D., A great
many cooperative enterprises have
been organized, and with profit to the
/ stockholders. The farmers own the
town site. The former owner, who
was nonresident and cared only
for the money that he could get out
Of the lots, put exorbitant prices on
his property. It was, however, taxed
at his own figures, SO he was soon
ready to sell. The farmers organ
tied stock company with T. e.
Tostenson as president and J. NJ Col
ter as secretary, and bought him out.
Wanting a telephone they organ
lied company with T. 3. Tostenson

more than two shares, which entities
one to phone, though each one must
pay his share of the running expenses.
They are renting phones to the people
In town; in time this income will pay
the running expenses.
The elevator men paid what they
pleased for grain SO the farmers got
together and organized a stock COM
pany with Fred Schmidt as presi.
dent and s.. l. Knutson as secretary.
Shares SIS. No one can hold more
than eight shares Last year a divi-
dent Of 20 per cent. was declared. And
In addition they had received a higher
price for their grain The other ele-
vators now pay one to two cents
above market price, yet they are able
to get but little grain.
Not wanting to swell the Golfers OF
the insurance companies they organ
ized the Farmers Mutual company:
President, Fred Schmidt; secretary,
S. /. Knutson The assessments were
three mills 1909, two mills 1908, four
mills 1907, and one mill 1906.
Not having any place to meet they
organized a stock company with r.
Fl. Soelle as president and E. G. Bun
dy as secretary. They wanted a
building 80 by so, with a full base
ment. The contractors wanted $500.
The farmers thought that this was too
much so they hired men TO do the
work and superintendent the work

the orchestra furnished music They
all stayed at the hall, no hanging
around grocery stores, pool rooms
and livery barns. i
1t will be interesting to know that
many ct these farmers raised fine
crops OF corn this year It viii also
be interesting to know that they
wanted such subjects discussed as

August Hermann, chairman of the
national baseball commission, when
appraised of the betting syndicate that
had been organized to operate on the
games of the National and American
baseball leagues during the coming
season said:
While 1t is news to me, yet there
is no danger whatever that they can
ruin the national game While l do
not care to divulge the course the COM
mission will pursue in the matter, you
can say positively that this syndicate
will do no business whatever. We can

Why Stick to Cotton7

Why keep putting land in cotton
year after year until it will not make
more than one-third bale Of cotton per
acre? Why not begin to rotate crops
this year? Cotton ought not to be
planted on the same land more than
one year out of three certainly not
more than one year out Of two. Let
us plant more leguminous crops this
year and raise more poultry, hogs,
cattle, sheep and other stock to covert
the leguminous crops into meat and
manure.
