"A Marketing Association Also
Needed

We also need farmers market
ing associations in every county
land in many smaller communi-
ties.
And in this work, we repeat
that farmers have a right to ask
[ the cooperation of merchants.
The farmers have a right to say,
eff we buy from your shelves,
you buy from our farms" At
pthe same time farmers must see
that their products are properly
graded and packed. And here
they need the expert knowledge
of some one painstakiug, intelli-
gent man - some man who will
DO two things: CD make a study
of grading and packing and (2)
keep informed as to market
quotations.
Take the case of cotton and
cottonseed. In the studies of
Oklahoma cotton marketing made
iby the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. it was
Zfound that farmers had rrices
cut on all grades below midlling,
but received practically no ad-
vance for grades above mif ling.

Turnips for the Dairy Cow

I For the dairy farmer whC
owns his own farm and ten OF
more cows there is not any
thing that can take the place o1
the silo as source for winter
feeding. But for those whose
conditions are such that it is
, impossible for him to have sill
age, he should provide some
succulent crop as a substitute.
This can be furnished in the
form of fall sown oats, crimson
and burr clovers for grazing or
: better still in the form of a root
crop which can be successfully
stored for winter use.
! Turnips are, one of the best
crops to plant for this purpose.
If you have an acre or two of
I good land which is now idle you
! could not do better than seed it
to turnips for feeding your cows
Ithis winter. You can produce a
! large quantity of feed per acre
land they can be successfully
stored. They furnish the sue
culency which is Of great econo-
mic Importance in the dairy
ration at this season.
r Broadcast the barn-yard
manure, which has accumulated
luring the summer, and thor
oughly work it into the soil with
ia disc harrow, making a
thoroughly pulverized seed bed.
/ (It would be well to roll before
seeding Sow the seed broad
)cast at the rate of from three
kand half to five pounds per
acre and cover with a weeder or
|very light harrow. (If sown
kjust before a rain it will not be
necessary to cover.
They should ha harvested be-
rfore the first hard freeze and
gstored in banks or hills covered
with straw and earth or some
-other convenient place. They |
twill keep through the entire
winter and will greatly increase
'the milk flow and at the same
time reduce the cost Of feed.
PThey are realished by the COW
'and serve as an appetizer. You
(can feed from fifteen to twenty
pounds per day with splendid
results.

Where Brain Work Begins There
Profit Begins

The world pays for muscular
labor never more than enough
to supply the physical necessi
ties of life. This is fixed by the
great law of supply and demand
Bring the products of your mus
Gle only, and the world pays yor
. only enough to support that
muscle, bare living. Bring
the products of your muscular
labor plus skill and intelligence,
and the world pays you not only
a living but some of the COM
forts and conveniences that in
telligence demands profit.
This is a principle of political
economy as unalterable as were
the laws of the Medes and Per-
sains. Let US put it in this form:
Muscular labor means a living;
muscular plus mental labor
means a living plus a profit.
That is the law, and this is the
problem: To get the farmer to
use his brains as industriously
as he uses his muscle.
Let us see how this works in
the South, Here about half the
people at work on our farms are
Negroes, ignorant and illiterate,
little more than generation re-
moved from slavery, and with
ten times as much confidence in
the change of the moon as in ex-
pertinent stations, and a hun
dred times as much faith in Old
Masters ways of farming as in
views of professors of agricul-
ture.
But they have and use physi-
cal strength and muscle; and
every farmer who uses only
muscular labor comes into com
petition with them, and must
get down to their scale of living
in order to compete successfully. |
In other words, of two men try
ing to make a living by physical
labor, the man who can live
happily on corn-bread and fat |
meat has an immense advantage
over the man whose scale of liv-
ing is high enough to include
chicken-pie. This a homely il
lustration of the truth that |
where competition with mere |
labor must be faced, |
there is no profit.
Grant, then, that there is such
an economic law as that of which
we have been speaking, and
what is the logical inference?
1t is that the intelligent farmers
Of the South must change their
mode of farming stop trying to
make a profit by putting their
own muscle against less intelli-
gent muscle in the crude forms
If labor, and move on into high
er forms of farming where skill
and intelligence are brought in
% play, and where both brain

swell the profit. The Progress
