FARMER SHOULD OBEY RULES
DIsIoyal and short-sIghted Actions Of
Members Of Agricultural Associa-
lions Cause Failure.
(By B. H. HIBBARD)

: Many q farmers organization has
gone to pieces because Of the disloyal,
shortsighted actions of certain of its
members. One of the most usual
sources Of trouble Of this character ia
the tendency of many members to sell
to competing companies for, perhaps,
q trifle more than the farmers com
panies see At to offer. This difficulty
has led many associations to put into
their bylaws the so-called penalty
clause" This is q provision by which
the members Of the company are per
mitted to sell. or buy. where they
please upon payment of q small
amount, as q half cent a bushel on
grain, into their own company to en-
able 1t to exist while the business IL
might normally expect is being done
by its competitor. This penalty
clause" or sustaining clause" as 1t
is sometimes called. has been declared
illegal by some of the courts and con.
sequently In many instances has be-
come a dead letter. However, the
same end may be gained by requiring
the members of an association to sign
an agreement to deliver all of their
produce of the kind in question to the
company to which they belong. The
penalty for failure to comply with this
provision is usually loss of member
ship In the company. II the advan-
tages Of the company are of any con-
sequence 1t follows that they will not
be bartered away for a small mess Of
pottage in the form Of q bid slight
ly higher offered by a competitor. Just
as truly as there are rules Of the game
to be followed in almost every or
ganized undertaking there must DO
such in connection with q farmers
organization and he who will not OBJ
serve the rules does not deserve the
privileges Of the play.

Farmers in all parts of the country

Georgia, says an exchange. The Georgia
farmers objected to the commercial
system under which they were receiving
butsseven and: eight cents pound for the
pork which they raised, while they saw
thesham and bacon of commerce retailing
3in their own markets for Is cents pound.
They resolved to re-establish the ante
bellum smokehouses on their farms and
Immediately carried the resolution into
effect. Through cooperation they have
commenced marketing their products
in the finished form. They find that
the profits which they make from curing
their own meats are relatively larger,
considering the time and expense involved
than those which they were receiving
from marketing hogs on the hoof. The
remarkable thing about this profitable
experiment is that it has not been worked
out in any of the grain centers or near
any of the country's great markets, but

southern part OF Georgia in zone crop"

was not large enuf for his superintendent
energies. Both Griffin and Methune are
good fellows and will be missed among
the scribes. However, we will be con-
siderably surprised if they are not seen
hanging around at the Second District
Editorial Meetings, (where they'll be
welcome) and we fully expect to see
them back in the district or owning
papers again somewhere in Southern
Minnesota
