There is No Danger, Brother.

We understand that some have ex.
pressed the fear that if the actual
acreage of berries in theDurant vlcini'
ty were known it would have tenden-
scy to depress the market. Thoseswho
entertain such fears should get statis-
tics giving the actual production and
consumption of such products. The
mere increase in the, population of ST.

consume the largest crop this commu-

Our information is that there have
besn organized and put into active
operation several cooperative egg-sell-
ing associations inR his state, and they
are realizing from five to ten cents per
dozen more for their eggs than they
are able to get otherwise. Thl1 IS not
because the local dealers refuse to pay
the highest possible price, but because
one of the conditions in such an organ
ization is that all eggs must be tested
when condition the local dealer oDVi-
ously can not afford to require. Ihere
are those who are willing to pay the
extra price for the eggs if they are
sure of getting all good eggs. Inc
milk in the cocoanut is that when the
producer sees that the perfect product
gets the high price, he learns how ne
can make all his goods to be or that
sort, thus eliminating the loss in price
that results from inferior stuff. This
cooperative idea is beneficial for all,
as it brings in morelmoney, brings IL

many Southern farmers who were just
beginning to raise hogs. We sincerely
hope that the belief in the buzzard as a
friend to man has not become tradi

time when it was considered necessary
to have flies to consume filth. The
laws by which buZzards have been pro-
