Many months have passed. 1t is

road it is, indeed. But somehow,

For Bellingham hasn't had the in

DR0NES IN AN ORGANIZATION
Unless Greatest Care Is Exercised
Enemies of Agricultural Coop
Grafton Get into Society.

It would appear that owing to the
very fine principle of mutual help in
volved, those forming cooperative
organization would be consistently
loyal in their mutual relationship. But,
on the other hand, unless exceptional
care be exercised by the leaders an
organization from the beginning will
be burdened with drones, cheats, dead
beats. and traitors.
When a grower joins a cooperative
organization and then refuses to pat
ronize 1t, he is a drone. He cannot
excuse himself even on the ground Of
bad management, for 1t is his duty to
help secure proper conduct of the
business.
II in selling through his organiza-
tion a producer endeavors to pass on
shoddy, poor-grade products. which in
jure the reputation of the body of
which he is a member, he is a cheat.
The member who uses the special
and private information of the asso-
citation in making sales outside, with.
out contributing to its support, is a
deadbeat.
The man who joins a cooperative
enterprise and then through subtle
ways endeavors to obstruct it's prog.
ress and defeat it's purposes is trail
tor.
Those experienced with cooperative
organizations have known all these
types. They are to be found in prac
tically every community. They are the
greatest enemies of agricultural CO
operation. If allowed to dominate with
their dishonest practices. they will
sap the energy, brains. and spirit OF
the officers, exhaust the moral and
financial strength of the undertaking
and reduce the whole to a state OF
miserable failure and ruin.

FARMERS HELP ONE ANOTHER
Troublesome Job for One Man to
Load Wagon With Hogs-Best for
Neishbors to Club Together.

The farmer needs to be on friendly

and team, and assisting in the load.
ing Of the porkers.
1t is usually troublesome fob for
one man to load a wagon with hogs,
no matter how well he may be fixed
for the business. Some of the hogs
are bound to become excited and do
everything but what is expected of
them, and while the man is trying TO
get the stubborn animals up the chute
and into the wagon some of those that
have already entered are apt to break
back.
Besides, one man has to make two
or three trips to get the entire bunch
to market. thus keeping the confined
shoats stirred up and in a heated con
dition for several hours. while. when
the neighbors club together, all can
be taken to market early in the day.

So she went to play in the woods.
And she was walking along and
walking along. and what do you think
she met? A fairy! And she was aw-
full surprised to meet a fairy, so she
said to the fairy:

And the fairy said:

And the little girl said:
Il never heard about any fairies liv-

And the fairy said:

There is nothing so satisfying as be-
ing on the Job.
Golden deeds don't grow out Of a
pewter character.
Blessed be drudgery: 1t keeps our
feet firmly on the earth.
Tomorrow always interests some
people more than today.
1t is no credit to a man to have the
reputation of being foxy.
Young man. if you have nothing
better to sow than wild oats. don't.
Do not believe all that the politi-
clans tell you; use your own thinker.
When we liken a man to a mule 1t
is rust as well not to talk behind his
back.
Even rubbing up against the world
doesn't seem to make some men any
brighter.
When a big man Is mean he's the
limit, because there's so much of him
to be mean.
Many fellow gets the reputation OF
being fast when his creditors think
that he is mighty slow.
Cooperation between practical farm
ers and proficient business men will
eliminate ignorance and prejudice.
The thought uppermost in the minds
Of many aspiring youths is how to get
money without going to the bother Of
earning 1t.
BY cooperating with his neighbor
the farmer can learn new methods OF
culture and the interchange of ideas
will benefit both.
We are admonished not to look upon
the wine when it is red-yet one little
apple did the world more harm than
all the wine ever produced.
It is better to cooperate and pur-

to try to hold up the price of milk pro-
duced by poor cows.

PRICES OF FOOD PRODUCTS
Problem Confronting Cooperative As
sociations Is Not Overproduction
but Underconsumption.

The greatest problem confronting
individual farmers and the big coop
erative selling associations today is
not overproduction but underconsump-
ton, writes w. Milton Kelly in Farm
News. There is a tremendous waste
of opportunity in realizing the maxi
mum value of food products produced,
and both producers and consumers are
the losers.
1t is easy to repeat old and time
worn truths and blame the middleman
and transportation companies for our
shortcomings, but the wide gap be-
tween the poorly paid farmer and the
poorly fed city dweller can be closed
only by more complete utilization or
food products. We must devise means
to utilize all of the surplus products.
and preserve them in an edible form.
so that they may contribute toward
feeding our people instead of going
back to the soil.
The important point is that much OF
the food produced goes to waste be-
cause it is undesirable to place 1t on
the market to compete with the better
grades at the time the products are be-
ing marketed. This curtails the food
supply of the country and results in
hardship to both producer and con-
sumner.
By better systems of grading and
classifying farm products, and keep
ing crude stuff from mingling with the
choice, it is possible to obtain higher
prices for the better grades of farm
products. But unless means are pro-
vided for making use of the Gull stuff
and making it up into finished prod
ucts, there Is sure to be falling off
in consumption, the same as would re-
suit If every feeder persisted in mar
keting his pig crop as soon as the pigs
attained a weight of 100 pounds.
This is a problem that must sooner
or later be met by every successful
selling association. II 1t is successful
in securing more uniform and honest
grading and classification Of the prod
ucts 1t sells, 1t must provide means
for taking care of the surplus pro-
duced by its members.
