USE OF MODERN IMPLEMENTS
co-Orerative Ownership Of Machinery
Enables Small Farmer to Com
pete With Capitalist.

We cannot urge too strongly the
cooperative ownership or exchange
of the use of expensive farm ma
chinery. This not only eliminates
waste of capital tied up in idle farm
machinery. but it enables the small
farmer to bring into use the same
labor-saving machinery that is used
by the capitalistic farmer. with whom
he is thereby enabled to compete sue

MIDDLEMAN AND HIS PLACE
Part Played by Commission Man In
Great Commercial Organization
Told by Clemson Expert.

CBy FRED w. HOFFMAN,. Market Agent

A commission merchant Is an agent
who markets commodities that have
been consigned to him. For his serv-
ices he receives a commission or 10
10 per cent of the gross sales. The
shipper bears the expense of transpor-
tation and carriage. and also storage
If necessary.
In consigning products to COM

shipment to the commissioN man ana
sends him an invoice and bill OF lading

Upon receiving the bill or ladlng'
the commission merchant tries TO sell

A commission merchant may re-

the good farmer by telling what he

BEST TRAINING FOR FARMER
Every Reason to Believe That Addi-
tionai Education Has Been Quite
Valuable Investment.

Is education worth while for the
farmer? A great many indefinite an
swers have been given by people who
have only their own opinions and linn
tied observation. A more definite an
swer has just been given by Prof U.
r Johnson of the Missouri university
college of agriculture Professor John
son has carefully studied data. Sc
cured by visits to $50 farmers. 554 OF
whom had only rural school education
While he recognizes the fact that this
additional training is not solely re-
sponsible for the better showing made
by the better educated man, there Is
every reason to believe that their ad-
ditional education has been very val
liable investment. from the standpoint
Of the pocketbook as well as that of
social service. which is not so easily
measured
The better trained men secured av'
erage labor incomes of 1855 a year OF
within $llO of twice as much as those
who had only district school educa
lions. This labor income is the mel
return left after allowing five per cent
interest on the value of the farm and
equipment used and reasonable
charges for other items. The educat
ed farmer handled more land OF
higher average value per acre ant
rented from others only one-tifth o
,he farm he operated while the les
educated man rented nearly two-fifths
The same general difference appears
though not always to so great an ez
tent, in the number Of acres handles
per man employed. the number o
acres handled per horse. and yiel
secured per acre.
