COOPERATE IN PRODUCTION
Farmers Should Aim to Grow Same
N'nd OF Crop or Stock to Secure
Uniformity and Stand ardization.

Uniformity and Standardization can
not be secured IL one member of a
local union. or cooperative associa-
ZION, persists in planting Irish cobbler
potatoes. another the Red Bliss and
another the Burbank, and SO on. The
same principle holds true with many
o'her products as well as livestock,
writes J. 2. Green in Progressive
Farmer.
Inc nrst step in cooperation should
pegm In the selection of one particular
kind, and then stick to that. For in
stance, II local union decides to put
IL to 10 acres in potatoes all the men,
bers should plant the same kind of
potato. You will then be able to fill
TWO or three cars with a specific. vari-
ETY.. And this concert of action in Sc
curing large enough acreage in the
vicinity to make car shipments is also
important, If you intend to reach the
larger consuming centers that buy
only in carload shipments.
Cooperation in production has paid
mighty nice premiums to those COM
munities where groups of farmers
have united in the production of GER
tain types Of pure-bred dairy and beef
cattle. In fact, there are very few
fields Of cooperative activity in which
there are greater opportunities for
tangible and profitable results than
through cooperative breeders asso-
Citations. In the substitution of grain
and feed products for cotton we will
need more live stock to feed. It
doesn't cost any more to feed good
stock than to feed scrubs. The cheap
est and most practical way to i'm
prove your live stock is through organ
lied community live stock associations.
The purchase Of a $500 sire would be
heavy expense for one farmer, but
$15 each for 20 farmers in the COM
munity would represent no burden
some expense.
In our change of program in the
South let us remember again that we
are going to fail to compete in pro-
duction Of food products with the
West unless we substitute, as far as
possible, horse power and farm ma
chinery for high-priced human labor
In the preparation. planting, cuitiva-
ton and harvesting of the crops In
divtdual ownership Of all the needed
heavy farm machinery is out of the
question with the average farmer. It
wouldn't be economical for each farm
er to own all the needed machinery
and let 1t stand idle. even IL he had
the surplus money to invest Men,
bers of local unions will do well to ar
range for larger grain drills and har-
vesting machines. II we will let ma
chinery and horse power take the
place Of the high-priced and unsatis-
factory labor we have been employ
Ing In the cotton fields we will not be
apt to become cotton spectators again
after normal conditions return. Now
ing machines, reapers and binders, and
corn harvesters and shredders will go
q long way towards solving the labor
problem upon an economic basis. But
we must learn to sink our individual
ity and selfishness and stubbornness
and cooperate with our neighbors be-
fore we cen place ourselves in posi-
ton to compete successfully with the
West, or with the capitalist farmer, in
the production of food products.

eiecuromagnet,i is empl0yed. 1t is mag
netized to the highest degree possible,
and there is some advantage in revers-
ing it's magnetism a few times. The
result depends upon the maximum
magnetizing force and not on the dura-
ton of the application. The current is
not shut off suddenly, but is gradually
diminished to zero. While under the
influence of the current the magnet is
struck with brass hammer.
Its stability is insured by subjecting
it to alternate cycles of demagnetizing
and remagnetizing about the point of.
magnetization at which it is to remain.
