interest was shown in the growing Of.
corn and alfalfa and how to organize
a cooperative shippers association
Oslo is very much in need of a farm
.ers' club and trust that in the very
near future you will have one. Shall
be glad to help you organize al farm.
ers club and farmers cooperative
shippers association. The one organ
lied here at Warren last year, known.
as the Warren Farmers Cooperative
Shippers Association, has been hay
ing splendid success and like organic
atoms in other parts of the state are
reporting advances and great I'M.
provement over the old-fashioned,
WORKOUT system of having host Of
cattle buyers trying to CLEAN a living
from the buying and shipping Of
stock from a community where one
man can do the work and with much
more satisfaction to all concerned.
So I can not urge this advance too
strongly and am very anxious to see
our farmers take advantage of the
cooperative way Of doing business.
/ am also looking for an organization
of this kind to soon spring up in AL
varado.

How much is a silo worth to a far
nler having live stock? Those who
have silos estimate it to be equal in
value to forty acres Of land. Are they
right? am Of the opinion that they
are.
A litter Of pigs from some of our
standard breeds like the Duroc, York
shire, Q. I. c., and Chester White. if
taken good care Of during the spring
and summer months, will net you $40
after paying all the expenses. What
is the initial cost? It's between $40
and $50. Compare this with the in
vestnent in one acre Of land and the
crop that you receive from it. If you
doubt my figures, let me know and 1
shall be glad to refer you to farmers
who can give you all Of the details

litter Of Duroc pigs last year and,
