COOPERATE IN HOG SELLING
Practical Plan for Farmers Given by
W, j. 5huford at Conference for
Education in South.

The following plan for cooperative
oggaeIIng by faruers was laid be-
fore the conference for education in
the south by W. j. shuford of 1ick-
DRY, N. c.:
Any number Of farmers from six up
can start an egG-seIling association,
They should have enough hens to fur
nish at least two cases Of eggs per
week at the season Of the year when
egg production is the lightest
The amount of capital necessary
to start might be as low as $50 or
800, depending upon the number Of
members There should be an initia-
ton fee Of SIS to get the necessary
capital Organize by getting the
farmers and their wives together to
talk the matter over There should
be four or five meetings, and the sub.
ject thoroughly discussed before get
ting down to business The farmers
should secure some central location
in the neighbOrhood that would be
accessible to all who might wish to
Join the association. The school house
during the school term could be a
place for the gathering Of the eggs
The children could bring in the eggs
when they come to school. Sales,
etc, could be looked after by the
teacher
Constitution and bylaws should be
very simple. There should be an
agreement In writing specifying fresh
clean oggs, gathered daily, and de-
iyored al least twice a week to the
association for q given period and
rules should be made that il a patron
brought IN bad eggs over three times
he would be dropped from the asso-
citation.
A stamp should be given each
member with a number on It as a
means Of identification, together with
an agreement to attend a meeting
when called by the president.
Omcers should consist Of president,
secretary, manager and treasurer,
with a governing board Of from four
to six directors Possibly II would be
