GOOD FROM FARMERS CLUBS
Offered for Community
Discussion and Action on Any
Question Of General Interest.

A farmers club may be OF vital
Importance to a community socially,
educationally and financially.
The farmers club Is the natural
forerunner of practical co-operatlon.
Cooperation, like charity. should De-
gin at home.
A farmers club is an informal asso-
citation of a group Of people In COM
munity for the improvement of them
selves and their homes in particular
and the community in general.
We believe in the farmers club be-
cause we believe that the next great
developmnt in agriculture will be along
the line OF cooperation for greater
efficiency in production and in market
ing.
No important Development Is likely
to come unless a group Of people get
together and work for it. Schools,
roads and churches all come as re-
suit of a community spirit which de-
termines to bring about Improvement.
A farmers club affords opportunity
for community discussion and com
munity action on any question that
arises regarding anything in which the
community as a whole is interested.
Had there been more farmers clubs
fewer $400 stations would have been
sold for $4,000, and fewer creamerief
would have been started before the
communities were able to support
them.

LOYAL SUPPORT IS REQUIRED
co-OperatIve Organization Can Only
Succeed When Members Stick
Together at All Times.

The keystone Of the whole system
of business cooperation is steadfast-
ness of the members. A cooperative
business organization can only sue
ceed by its members supporting 1t In
adversity as we'll as prosperity, says
the Milwaukee Wisconsin. Oppost
ton is certain to arise and private
interests will do all they can to dis
rupt the system. In the organization
of the association there should be
some binding provision in the bylaws
signed by every member. Voluntary
membership is suicidal to a co-opera-
tive association and unless members
are willing to stay by the organization
and support the managers and board
of directors. it is sure to fail In an
organization formed for marketing
farm products, for example. the mem
hers should be required to sign an
agreement giving the association ex'
elusive right to market all OF their
products.

PAY ACCORDING TO QUALITY
Great Improvement Seen In Cream
Since New Rule Went Into Effect
In Swift County, MINI.

One OF the advantages which the
more up-todate cooperative cream
cries have over the large centralized
plants Is that they secure cream OF
better quality because they are nearer
the source Of supply. In recent years
few of the cooperative creameries,
especially in Minnesota, have begun
to grade the cream and pay for 1t ac-
cording to quality. The Kirkhoven
creamery OF Swift county, Minnesota.

cream.
w. H. Christensen. the buttermak-
er in charge, recently made the state
ment that he has seen a great I'M
provement In the cream since the new
rule went into effect. Many farmers,
instead of delivering their cream once
or twice a week last summer, made
two or three deliveries a week In or
der to get the additional two cents
pound for their butter fat.
A creamery can we'll afiord to pay
| premium for good cream, because
the quality of butter produced from

on the market than the best butter
that can possibly be made from an
inferior grade. Besides. there Is al

butter than for medium grades OF In

VAULE OF THE CONCENTRATES
Cotton Seed Meal Contains About $40
Pounds Of Protein In Ton-vaiu-
able Food Constituent.

CBy r. G. wEATHERSTONE)
The concentrates are usually bought
for the protein which they contain.
They also contain carbohydrates and
oil, which are valuable as food con-
stituents.
These make up the food value OF
the purchased concentrates. To the
farmer they may have another value
which is not usually considered.
We take cotton seed meal and from
the feeders standpoint we find that a
ton contains about $40 pounds of pro-
tein, the most valuable food constitu-
ent.
We will take $40 pounds Of protein
and scientists tell us that 1t contains
16 per cent. of nitrogen, the most val
liable element in commercial fertilizer.
Sixten per cent Of $40 is 1S44.
Thus we find that in every ton OF
cotton seed meal we buy we get 134.4
bushels of nitrogen. which Is worth
at least Is cents per pound. The nit
rogen in the ton of cotton seed meal
alone, II purchased as commercial fer
tilizer. is worth $2O.16. Then II we add
40 pounds of potash and 40 pounds OF
phosphoric acid, which the ton Of cot
ton seed meal also contains, at five
cents per pound or 81 additional,
which brings the ton Of feed to $24.16
value for the fertilizer alone.
II the meal is fed to the stock and
the manure carefully saved 1t is pos
sible to save 70 per cent. OF the ferti,
lizer value and also get the full feed
ing value Of the material. Seventy
per cent. Of $24.16 is 1851. indirect
value of a ton Of cotton seed meal.
We may estimate the indirect OF
nitrogen value Of any feed stuff II
the protein content Is known by sim
ply finding 16 per cent. Of the protein
and calling it nitrogen. Then the
amount recovered in the manure Ii
from 70 to 90 per cent. according tt
the age and kind Of animal to which i
is fed. A young animal will retair
more of the nitrogen Of the food thar
a mature animal. A COW will retaiI
more than other animals.
The economy Of live stock on TIT
farm is largely due to the fertilize
left ON the farm from their feeding.
