The decision to inaugurate the CO
operative bureau was not made with
out due elaboration by the officers Of
the college. It was an urgent demand
from farmers all over the state that
brought 1t about That such bureau
would be successful was apparent af-
ter the organization OF clearing
house for apple growers and apple
buyers q year ago. The college had
helped farmers to find good seed and
good breeding stock but the clearing
house was the first assistance ogered
in marketing produce. Upon the an
nouncement, last fall, that the college
was again prepared to open a clearing
house for apples, 140 letters from buy
ers and sellers were received at the
college in one day. Between 300 and
400 cars of apples were sold through
this department Of the extension d.
vision last fall. Since then plans for
the organization Of the cooperative
bureau have been under way.
1--WE shall push the organization Of
this bureau as rapidly as possible"
said ]. H. Miller, dean Of the division
Of college extension, "but 1t will take
time to develop 1t to the highest state
of efficiency. AS our project is tho
first of its kind we must work out our
own system, and that will take time
and study. We shall begin at once to
look for man to take charge Of the
bureau. We shall cooperate with all
the existing organizations Of farmers
in the state-the Farmers Institute,
the Grange, Farmers Union and 9th
ers, making each local association a
sort Of branch Of the central bureau
at the college. In counties where
county demonstration agents are en-
ployed much Of this work will be done
through these agents. When every
thing Is in readiness-our Bureau
thoroughly organized, and our listlngs
made-the college will announce it to
everyone"

Green manuring and rotation OF
crops viii largely prevent soil drift
ing. the control Of which is very Sc
rious problem in western agriculture.
Our experience at the Western Kan
sas Experiment Station has demon
strated also that large areas In wheat
may be protected and largely pre-
vented from being injured by the
drifting of soil within the field Itself.
The spreading Of straw or coarse ma
nure and packing the straw into the
soil with the subsurface packer was
the most effective means employed
for protecting the fields from injury
by winds in the spring Of 1911. Tue
subsurface packing alone helped to
prevent the starting OF the drifting
soil from adjacent fields from sweep
ing over the wheat field. but the
straw covered area actually stopped
the drifting soil causing It to lodge
and thus protected the field beyond
the straw barrier
Il Is quite as necessary, however,
to prevent the drifting Of adjacent
fields as to protect the wheat field
ITSELF. This may be done by early
listing or dlshng Of the fan plowed
fields and corn or Kaar stubble heids
which are almost sure to drift In a
violent w;nd, when the son 10 very

A COOPERATIVE BUREAU A new FEATURE
AT THE STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
The Scheme the First Of Its Kind Ever Attempted the United
States, and is Expected to Save Millions Of Dollars
to Farmers When Developed to Its
Highest Efficiency

n BERRY grower In Cherokee
IA county sold his berry crop
last spring for ninety cents
crate. In one crate he placed
this note: "Will the buyer Of
this crate of berries inform the un-
dersigned, who grew them, how much
he paid for them" In due time a reply
came from an ultimate consumer" In
Detroit, Mich, saying he paid $2.4O
for the crate. Nliddlemen got $3.50
for finding a buyer for these berries
while the farmer, who did all the work
received only ninety cents.
The Kansas Agricultural College,
by the establishment Of a cooperative
buying and selling bureau for all
Kansas farm products, will undertake
to save the unnecessary middlemen's
profits to farmers in this state. This
announcement, made by President
Waters before eight hundred farmers
in the cooperation meeting" held in
connection with the state farmers In
stltution, was greeted with cheers. BY
resolutions, unanimously passed, the
meeting, after considering many plans
with a determination to do some
thing" had just asked the college to
establish such a bureau. The subse-
quent announcement by President
Waters, promptly grantinA the 70
quest, came as a surprise.
A cooperative bureau at the agri-
cultural college will be the first Of
that kind in the United States. When
developed to It's highest efficiency,
which may take several years, 1t viii
mean a saving of millions Of dollars
to Kansas farmers, annually. It win
shorten the distance between the
producer and the consumer, thus pro-
noting direct selling. For instance,
farmer with carload Of potatoes to
sell need not dispose Of them to the
local commission man. Instead, he
would list his carload with the CO.

TO PREVENT THE SOIL FROM DRIFTING
fBy A M Ten Eyck Western Kansas Experiment statonl

KANSAS Experiment oLALlOh.J
Is most essential on late spring plow-
ing, when the purpose is to plant at
once after blowing. It is not so nee
essary to use the subsurface packer
on fall blowing which is not intended
to be planted until the following
spring, but for sowing fall wheat, II
the blowing precedes the sowing by
a very short interval. the subsurface
packer may be used very advantage
.ously.
The principle involved in the use
Of the subsurface packer is correct
and the lighter the. soil and the great
er its tendency to remain loose and
mellow the more necessary becomes
the use Of the sHbsurface packer or
similar implement. In order to pre-
pare a proper seedibed.
Z In blowing under trash o. manure.
subsurface packing, by pulverizing the
bottom Of the furrow-slice, Sits the
soil through the coarse trash and
causes . better union with the sub
soil below. so that the capillary water
may be drawn up into the surface
soil, whereas, Il q heavy coat Of stub
BILE or manure pl0wed under in this
way is left without packing or pul-
verizing. the furrow-slice is likely to
dry out and the crop that is grow
ing on the land may be injured by
q short interval Of dry weather.
