right-"she never took time to

Once she was gone for two

creosote, put it in a teakettle and

oats and corn field, pouring it on
the bare ground where there was
no rubbish or other means for
them to cross without going over
the creosote. / found that they

line, but none whatever would
cross it. The question next arose
how to exterminate them. !

sote line and the bugs, millions
of them were killed by the lime.

place straw inside the line of
creoSote. The bugs would collect
on the straw. 1t was then fred
and great numbers of them were
killed in this way.
l noticed in using the creoSote
that in forty-eight hours after it
had been put on the ground not a
single bug had crossed the line.
Creosote stops them and the lime
kills them. AS every faFmsr

Peanuts As Stock
Food.

Kansas City, June 2s-''Rais-
ing peanuts has become so gener.
al in my section of the state that
on almost every farm can now be
found a field of this profitable
product.
B. T. Leonard, of Duncan, Ok

Leonard is located in Stephens in
the south central portion of the
state. Then Mr.. Leonard went
on to explain that about three
years ago peanut culture was in
troduced in that neighborhood.
"They are a sure crop, and
good paying produce" he said.
Raising a crop os peanuts on

They are planted in rows, and

from both sides of the row, when
a person can pull them up, and
lsave them lying ON the ground,
peanuts, stalks, and all, until
they are cured, when they are
raked up and stacked. Late in
the fall or through the winter,
threshers come around and they
are threshed. The vines are then
stacked or stored away and make
a most excellent feed.

Cooperative Failure

A western exchange speaks of
the failure of company known
as The Producers and Consumers
Cooperative Company, of Seattle,
Washington. 1t is stated that
this company was organized some
three years age, and was fathered
by the state grange. More than
$40, 900 was paid in in cash. This
sum has been used up and the
company found it necessary to go
out of business. In commenting
on the failure, our contemporary
says:
THE failure of this association
will cause deep regret to all be-
levers in the cooperative plan,
for, if an association having the
backing of a state grange and
$40, 900 for working capital for
a working fund, can not be made
to pay expenses, it is discour-
aging outlook for tee cooperative
theory"
We do not know anything about
this particular company, but it is
perfectly evident from the account
given that it is not a cooperative
company in the true sense of the
word, but an organization formed
on the stock plan, and designed
to make money for the stockhold-
ers. This $40, 900 in cash paid in
was not help to it, but one of
the reasons why it failed.
We are evidently just at the
beginning of a cooperative era.
All sorts of so-called cooperative
schemes will be organized. Some
of them will be organized by we'll
meaning men who will endeavor
to honestly conduct the business,
but who will fail because they do
not understand it. Others will
be organized by unprincipled ras-
Gals who will take advantage of
the talk of cooperation to rope in
a lot of people and get their
money. We advise our readers
to keep away from all such
schemes. Cooperation, like char
ity, should begin at home. There
are in the central west a large
number ofQuite successful cooper
creameries and cooperative elev-
ator companies. These were or
ganized by people in compare
lively small communities, none
of them taking in more than
county aid most of them consid.
erably less. These people know
each other and are close enough
to the business to tske an active
interest in II, and know all that
is going on. Under these condi-
lions, cooperation can be entirely
successful, but when the effort is
made to extend the principle into
a general business located in.some
blatant city, keep away from it.
We need laws which will forbid
the use of the word cooperative
in con INJECTION with any but real
cooperative efforts.

ROCKVILLE AND COUNTY
NEWS ITEMS AND NOTES
Increase in Appropriation for
Schools Now Seems to
Be Certain.
,eeial Correspondence of The Star.

ROCKVILLE, Nd, June :. 1919.
4 special meeting of the county commits
sioners was held yesterday to hear pro-
tests against increasing the annual APP
preparation for the public schools of the
county. but no one appeared in opposition
to the proposition. and the board devoted
its time to the transaction of other bust
ness.
The county school commissioners have
requested an increase of something like
$1,000 over the appropriation last year.
These figures probably will not be met,
but there is understood to be disposition
among the county commissioners to deal
literally with the schools, and 1t is
thought that the public school item in
the annual levy soon to be signed will
show substantial increase over the last
appropriation.
