OPERATE A SEED EXCHANGE
Concrete Illustration Of Benefits That
Can BE Derived From Farm
Cooperation.

Farmers OF Meeker county, MINI,
have struck on a novel plan for Co
operative marketing of farm produce,
says the Prairie Farmer. In this
county there are about dozen small
clubs of farmers which are united In
one central club. They have build
ing at the county seat In which any
farmer can place on display any sam
pie Of grain or seed that he may have
for sale. He is required to attach to
the sample the amount that is for sale.
also price and his name and address.
Mr.. A. d. Wilson. an extension worker
in the state. comments on the plan
as follows:
This plan makes It convenient for
farmer. looking for seed for any
crop. to find out whether or not he
can get that seed in his own county;
and II he can get it. to save the extra
expense of one farmer selling his seed.
shipping 1t to the city, then the other
man buying 1t and shipping It back.
Glover that can be bought of farmer
for Is cents per pound would cost 20
cents per pound. at least. If 1t had to
go through the ordinary channels Of
the seed trade.
The same idea can be carried out
regarding the transfer of live stock.
There is no doubt but that the estab-
lishment Of a seed exchange In most
Of the trading centers of the state
would be very great benefit to our
farmers. and insure the wide distribu.
ton of homegrown hardy seeds"
This is certainly concrete illustra-
ton of the benefits to be derived
from farm cooperation, and should be
a stimulus to some inactive farmers
clubs.

Cooperation in Denmark

One Of the famous Danish farmers
organizations is for the purpose of dis
tributing clover seed to the farmers.
II has 1900 branch societies and an
nually distributes several million
Bushels Of seed. The Danes have i'm
ported great deal of clover seed
from foreign countries and have found
varieties that were much better suited
to their conditions than native vari-
cites. Our own department Of agri-
culture is following this plan and
hopes to discover varieties that will
excel native varieties.

Secure Good Seed.

Poor seed is costing many farmers
as much as poor land. Now is the
time to take the first step to have
good seed corn for next years crop.
When the ears begin to set on the
corn stalks. cut the tassels out of all
weak stalks and stalks showing no
ears OF only rubbins. This win pre-
vent fertilization by inferior stalks
and will. in addition. increase the
yield very much.
