THE BUSINESS
FARMERS CORNER
EUROPEAN FARM COOPERATION
By B. II. HIBBARD,
University of Wisconsin.

Over nearly the whole of Europe farm
ers have learned to work together in
borrowing money, marketing produce,
purchasing supplies and in many other
ways involving education, recreation, SAN
itation and the Identification of village
and country surroundings. In the diff
ferent countries about thirds of the
farmers belong to these cooperative com.
panies, and membership is based on spe-
cifie tangible reasons. Farmers join
these organizations to accomplish results
in business way, which could not so
readily be done through any other avail
able means. For the most part it is not
the large, wellto-do farmer who takes
the keenest interest in cooperation, for
the cooperative movement is primarily
for the farmer of modest means.
One of the distinctive features of Eu-
ropean cooperation is that it goes right
to the heart of agriculture. In America
we have a great number of cooperative
movements which hardly touch the main
farm operations, such, for example, as
the cooperative telephones or co-opera-
tive fire insurance. Cooperation in Eu-
rope, on the other hand, centers about
farm finance. In fact, in Germany, where
cooperation has reached probably its
highest development, the nucleus about
which other forms of cooperation center
is the agricultural credit company. This
means, first, definite vital motive for
joining, and, second, it gives a perIna-
aency and stability which might be
wanting in case the cooperation We're
attempted primarily for the transaction
of some business which lasted for a small
portion of the year or for' something
which played a small role in the farm
ers' affairs.
Cooperation fairly permeates the ag-
ricultural operations of Europe, and to-
day there are thousands of cooperative
credit companies, many of them estab
lished for generation and more and are
therefore long past the experimental
stage. In nearly all countries are COM
paaies for buying farm supplies, such as
feed, fertilizer and machinery. On the
selling side are companies handling ba-
con, eggs, poultry, live stock, grain and
fruit. In fact, wherever there is any
amount of business TO be
done in buying and selling among farm
ers there is a cooperative company to
give them the advantage OF collective
The European farmer has learned that
his greatest Independence and prosperity
are to be had by joining with his neigh
boris for the promotion of the best in
terests OF the community.

agree that four square feet per bird is as
small as is safe.
Notwithstanding the crowded condi-
ton of her poultry houses, Mrs. Hitch
cock has been successful in getting eggs
at the time of highest prices, and her
yearly net profits have averaged better
than So piece per bird. The sale of
the hens to market each year, at an
average price of 80 cents to 81 apiece,
has added that sum to the gross returns
from the poultry. We have been shown
sale slips OF shipments OF hens which
showed net return of Sl.03 per bird,
after express charges and commission
were deducted.
A study of such decidedly successful
work with poultry is most encouraging.

found time to build up a poultry de

her an average net profit of 81 900 a
year for years, and she thoroughly en-

A RED LETTER EVENT
Quincy Lee Morrow to Lecture on
the Prohibition Question
Sunday November 23rd

The people of Lubbock will
have an opportunity of listening
TO one of the finest lectures that
has ever been delivered on the
subject of LIQUOR prohibition at
the Lyric Theatre on the west
side of the square Sunday morn
ing and evening November 23rd.
II is said Of him; Though Just
in the prime of life, Mr.. Morrow
is veteran upon the platform.
For twenty-five years he has
travelled constantly in every State
of the Union. preaching the
Gospel of Civic Righteousness
and the Prohibition of the Liquor
Traffic.
He speaks with the certainty
and enthusiasm Of a man with a
message. yet always in such
sweet spirit as to offend no one.
Wherever he is heard. the door
10 always open for his return.
His wide experience az a cam
paigner and as the Executive
Leader If the Prohibition forces
Of South Dakota for nine years.
make him invaluable as an in
structor in the principles of the
Prohibition Reform and methods
Of work.
His strongest recommendation
Is the fact that he il recalled
again and again to the States in
which he has labored for the
great cause to which he has
consecrated his life.

WILL EXTEND FROM DEPOT TO OVERTON ADDITION
Ornamental Meta Posts lake the Place Of Present Tall Poles on
the Square-llghng Capacity Will Be

The Avalanche has been able
to dig up a nice bunch Of good
news for our readers this week
and in the batch we learn with a
considerable degree Of pleasure
and satisfaction that we shall
soon have a greatly improved
street lighting system.
At a recent meeting of the
commissioners court az well as
the city council a contract was
entered INTO by and between the
Lubbock Light and Ice Company
and the city of Lubbock and
Lubbock county whereby the
light plant agrees to put up an
up-to- date system of street lights.
There will be- erected as we
understand a line of street lights
placed on ornamental iron posts
beginning at the depot extending
around the square, into the court
house yard and west on Broad.

Spencers' residence two blocks
over in the Overton Addition.
The new arrangement will
furnish a much better light and
be of great convenience to a
much greater number of people
than the old way. and we are

sure that it will be properly
appreciated by every citizen Of
the town. Lubbock keeps forg-
ing to the front. she never takes
a step back word and for this
reason our people have the
greatest confde nee IN her and
are at all times ready to back up
their faith in the town by putting
up money for improvements of
various kinds.
An all-day service is the next
important move on the part of
the owners of the light plant and
we understand arrangements are
already being planned TO inaugu-
rate such. early next spring.
This depends largely upon the
patronage they would receive and
for the sake of the great ad-
vantages it would be to the
people, each and every one who
has gasoline power should put in
the electric power so as to enable
the light people to operate at a
profit. On with the improve
ments. There is always some-
thing doing in Lubbock. Its a
splendid place to live.
