To Increase Capital
in PLANNING TIA. HOUSE

The Watertown Packing company
has arranged with Mr.. r. S. Law
renee, organizing expert, and Mr.. O.
W.. Phillips of st. Paul, financial
agent, for the reorganization OF the
company upon q substantial basis,
such as will enable it to enlarges the
scope Of its business.
For this purpose, as a preliminary,
there will be a meeting Of the stock
holders IN this city on Saturday afs
ternoon OF this week, in the, Lamm
block, at 3 o'clock, to discuss the sit
nation and particularly with a view
to gRtting stock placed with the pub
lie and increasing the subscribed
capital, as arranged Dy. thu. present
board Of directors.
Mr.. Lawrence points out the great
advantage to the city in the proper
equipment and operation of this plant
and he emphasizes what must be APP,
parent to all of the business men OF
WATERFOWL anu to ALI of the sur
rounding territory.

mense market available, local and in
the state as well as, the great states
to the west and north, all; tend to- In
sure valuable and increasing mar
kets for the products of a packing
plant"
The advantage lies not alone with
the city and the plant, bat the pro-
ducers of packing plant stock within
a considerable radius OF the packing
establishments tends to quicken re-
turns and better markets, thus slim
ulating the industry and making 1t
more profitable.
Tt is the plan to have Increased rep

with arrangements mutually satisfac-
tory In regard 10 the management.
The capacity OF the plant will be in
creased by further improvements in
the equipment, the installation Of
electric lighting, together with a spur
track to run alongside the plant. The
company, with SUFFICIENT working
capital, will be able to turn out 25, 600
hogs a year.
"But with an output of only 10000
a year" said Mr.. Lawrence, @the
company can pay a good dividend on
all of It's Issued capital as well as to

COOPERATION IS IN FAVOR
Necessity for Working Together Arises
Chiefly From Clumsy Method
Of Distributing Products.

Many a case of so-called overpro-
duction is only q failure to distribute
properly the products to the points
where they are desired. While one
market suffers from congestion.
caused by oversupply. another may be
suffering for want Of a sufficient
amount, and at the same time tons
Of produce may be wasting In fields
and orchards for want Of a profitable
market. The remedy lies in more
uniform distribution.
A new faith has developed on the
part Of the farmers themselves that
the cooperative plan is the most salts
factory. The farmer is being driven to
cooperation by necessity. In the United
States the necessity arises chiefly
from the clumsy and unbusinesslike
method Of distribution of food prod
ucts. resulting in an enormous dis
crepancy between the price paid to
the producer and the cost to the con-

The South has had a terrible time

1t would confess. But the hardship
has taught one lesson that the South
needed. and nothing short of prostra-
ton in cotton prices could teach II.
says Dry Farm Bulletin. The South
is reducing its cotton acreage. It
should have been reduced long ago:
And now that 1t has been reduced Il
should be kept down. And there is
only one, royal road to this devoutly-
to-be-wished contamination. and that
is diversification Of crops. The day
of diversification in the South not only
means a higher price for cotton. but
a new era of prosperity all along the

comes enriched and banded into an

CREDIT SYSTEM FOR FARMER
Landshaft Plan ~ Operated In Ger
many for Years Has Shown no
Failure or Depreciation.

"The Landshaft system of rural
credits would be the safest. most prac-
ticable and most advantageous system
for the American farmer" declared
David Lubin, delegate Of the United
States to the International Institute Of
Agriculture at Rome. while in Wash
ington the other day. ut is the only
system, in my opinion. that can be
made to provide bond that will float
and maintain its value without gov
eminent guaranty. and 1t is the only
cooperative plan of land mortgage
credit. In place Of being a corpora
ton Of lenders, the Landshaft associa-
ton il q cooperation of borrowers.
Under this plan mortgage bonds would
find . ready sale in the open market.
a. in Germany, at from to 4 per
cent, and run on the amortization plan
from thirty to fifty years. II Is the
only plan, in my judgment. that avoids
the hazards Of banks or banking, for
It requires no banks and does no bank
ing. II requires no initial capital and
can be conducted by the farmers them
selves at a trifling expense. In ISL
years in Germany this system has
shown no failure. no loss. no lawsuits.
no regulations and no depreciation.
Bonds under the Landshaft system
are Of value equal to government
bonds in the open market and in time
Of panic or war hold their value above
government bonds. II is really the
only plan Of land mortgage bonds that
affords q perfectly safe investment to
the capitalist. the servant girl. the
business man and the trust funds Of
widows and orphans. II such sys-
tenn we're adopted in this country 1t
would be necessary. Of course. to mod

Welfare OF SMALL FARMER
Salvation Depends Upon His Ability
to Compete With Large Farmer
or Farming Corporation.

One OF the most important OF all
economic problems is the preservation
Of the prosperity of the small farmer.
who do most of his own work on his
farm. His salvation depends upon his
ability to compete with the large
farmer or the farming corporation.
writes Thomas Nixon Carver in Utah
Farmer. Aside from the question OF
securing credit. two things threaten
to place him under a handicap and to
give the larger farmer an advantage
over him in competition. II these two
things are allowed to operate. the big
farmer will beat him in competition
and force him down to lower stand
ard of living and possibly to extinc-
ton.
One thing which would tend in that
direction is large supply of cheap
labor. The small farmer now has an
advantage because of the difficulty
which the big farmer has in getting
help. So great is this difficulty that
many Of the bonanza farmers are CIV
ing up the fight and selling out to
small farmers. II we can keep con-
ditions such that the capitalistic
farmer has great difficulty in getting
help. the small farmer will continue
to beat him in competition. and the
bonanza farm will continue to give
way to the one-family farm.
One thing which threatens the pros
perity and even the existence Of the
small farmer is the handicap under
which he finds himself in buying and
selling. The big farmer who can buy
and sell in large quantities and also
employ expert talent in buying and
selling. and in securing credit. has an
advantage over the small farmer who
must buy and sell in small quantities
and give his time and attention to the
growing Of crops rather than to SELL
ing them. Much Of the supposed
economy Of large-scale production
even in merchandising and manu-
featuring, is found. upon examination.
to consist wholly In an advantage in
bargaining-that is, in buying and
selling. When 1t comes to the work
Of growing farm crops. as distinct
from selling them and buying raw
materials. the one-family farm is the
most efficient unit that has yet been
found.
But the big farmer can beat the in.
dividual small farmer in buying and
selling. 1t would seem desirable.
from the standpoint Of national eff
cheney. to preserve the small farm as
the productive unit, but to organize
number of small farms into larger
units for buying and selling. Thus
we should have the most eficient
units both in producing and in buying
and selling.

OWE DEBT TO WOMEN
British Government AcknoWI-
edges Aid of Fair Sex.
Momentous Question at the Close Of
the War Will Concern the Dis
position Of Those Who Have
Taken Places Of Men.

In Great Britain there are two sub
1ects occupying the attention of wom-
en- just now. The first is how best
to keep in touch and train the women
who volunteered their services to the
government at the beginning of the
war and who have not yet been called
into service. The second is whether
or not the women who are holding
positions formerly occupied by men
shall spend their wages or hoard It..
Considering this question the women
point out that everybody. the whole
nation. is being urged to spend, to
keep the money in circulation and to
help ease the financial situation for
the sake Of the country.
On the other hand. the majority Of
these women are dependent on their
exertions for q living. and many Of
them had been out of work when
taken on by the government in place
OF men gone to war. Now when the
war ends and these men return they
will lose their jobs. At club meet.
ings. indeed at practically all gath
erings Of women, even over the tea
cups. this question is being seriously
discussed.
Along with 1t and Of equal import
ance Is the question of keeping to-
gether and rendering more efficient
that part of the $4,000 women volun-
teers for whom the government has
so far found no need. The latest and
80 far the most practical solution to
this problem il to establish a train
ing school for these women volun-
teers. This school to be operated
through the war ONCE. the women
to be paid for their time and work.
and be trained for the fields in which
they will sooner or later be needed.
To get the best results it is urged
that there should be a board Of voca-
tional advisers in connection with the
work.
In spite Of the fact that these WON.
en- offered their services at the re-
quest of the government. men in
various occupations have refused to
serve with them. The most pro-
nounced stand was taken by the tram
drivers and conductors in Edinburgh.
When the first crowd of men left the
company to 90 to the front the COM
pany tried to put women in their
places as tram conductors. The men
working on the lines refused to work
with women conductors, 50 the COM
pany was forced to hunt up other men
to take the place of those gone to
war.
