SOME OBSTACLES TO COOP
GRAFTON AMONG FARMERS
BY W. E. Brooks

In our previous discussion of coop
Grafton, we mentioned several econ
omies that were possible to the farm
err by this effort to work together In
marketing his products.
Suppose that We grant that there
are numerous and important econo-
mics in cooperation, and that 1t Is
an excellent thing for our farming
communities. The next thing that
We think of is, How can we organize
and get into working order some form
of cooperative society. Before con-
sidering this question in a later arti'
| Gle, let us glance for moment at
| some of the common difficulties that
are met elsewhere in forming associ-
ations.
In the first place, farmers are in
dividualist. That is, they work, think
and live too much by themselves.
| The very nature of their business
tends to isolate them from each 9th
er, and becomes largely responsible
for this difficulty and, as an individi-
alist, one farmer is apt to distrust
another whom he does not know so
we'll. In this, the farmer is not to
blame. Distance keeps them from
meeting often, and thereby learning
each others good and bad qualities.
With this element Of distrust in the
neighborhood, 1t Is therefore difficult
to meet and work together In some
mutual business undertaking. When
It comes to choosing a manager for
a farmers association, 1t is often
very difficult to agree. To meet this
problem, it will be necessary for GER
tain farmers to be willing to give In
to the judgment of the majority OF
their group, whom they should trust,
and then to try to have confidence
In the management which has been
, selected.
, Many farmers cooperative asso'
citation in this country has got this
far, but has then failed later on be-
, cause the manager they chose was
incapable or unfit for his responsible
, position. Too much care cannot be
: exercised in making this choice, and
In being willing to pay enough for
the right man. To hesitate on this
last point, too much, may prove to
be false economy, And, the "rish,
man" may not be member OF the
community. Too often local man
Is chosen who is not fitted with the
necessary experience In the business
world outside to deal intelligently
, with 1t. Hence, 1t won't pay to be toe
economical, or too loyal to the com
munity in choosing a manager.
mother difficulty that has prevent
ed new associations from succeedinS
has been their tendency to include
too much territory. They should be
. restricted to a valley, or a part OF q
, valley which has interests In common
where most of the members know, oI
have heard of each other. They viii
!. then be more OF unit. and work In
, greater harmony.
This has yet another advantage
when looked at from another stand
r point. II farmers cooperative as
sociations are confined to Limited
g areas, there will grow up between
/. these associations a healthy spirit q
!. rivalry which will tend to strengthen
4 them, and to better the quality o
n their respective products. Thus, tn

DIR. MEYER-GERHARD
NOT IN RED CROSS
Miss Boardman Never Heard
Much of BernStorff's En-
VOWS Activities.

Despite the fact that "Dr. Meyer
Gerhard" was widely advertised as the
Red Cross representative from Ger
many, a report just issued by l..
Hecker, one Of the delegates here, does
not mention his name.
Attention is called TO the results Of
DR.. Dernburg's work, and the amount
of collections here is given as 81 1885,
600. The statement goes on TO say that
the need of funds is greater than ever,
since the entry Of Italy into the war,
and that contributions may be sent TO
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. or the Office of the
Red Cross delegates, 1928 Broadway.
Miss Mabel Boardman said in Wash
ington she had met "Dr. Meyer-Ger-
hard" once or twice, but never had
heard of his association with the Red
Cross until ne came TO this country.
His name did not appear on lists OF
important delegates in former years.
Miss Boardman understood that DIR.
Meyer Gerhard" had the same status
as DR.. Dernburg and Mr.. Hecker. she
spoke of the good work DR.. Dernburg
was doing in collecting funds, bat did
not recall much in regard to the activi-
ties Of Count Won Bernstorf's envoy.

saw Mr.. BRYAN. The Secretary was
told that if the Germans could buy the
guns they would be willing to allow
them TO remain in the arsenals until
the conclusion of the war anything
10 prevent them from falling into the
hands Of the Allies.
Mr.. Bryan is said to have told Mr..
Metz that the proposition sounded rea-
sonabie, and the money would be &C
ceptable 10 the government, but that
he feared a trap Of some kind, evi-
IDENTIFY of a political nature. lie would
have nothing to do with any move TO
dispose of the rifles.
For a time it looked as II Captain
Laughlin might be able to carry out
his end Of the transaction. He was
introduced 10 DR.. Meyer, and that gen
tleman called at the Broadway ONCE
on several occasions. Later, however
the situation at Washington became
so tense that the Germans were con
WINGED that the guns would not be sold.
The assurance that no other power
could buy them was some satisfaction,
and since then the matter has been
held in allowance. as II were.
Contracts were snapped pretty freely.
DR.. Meyer signed one, agreeing to pay
Mrs. Lewis per cent of the total prlce
if the goods were delivered. There
was another agreement, signed by Cap
tain Laughlin, which assured Mrs.
Lewis of her share if anything came
off. On her part, Mrs. Lewis con-
tracted to pay DR.. Schimmel a trife Of
100000, if the sale went through. But
it didn't, and hasn't.

other quarters He asserted that he
had succeeded in buying large consign-
ments Of ammunition from the Union

GERMANS SKATER
FOE'SDASH ON LENS
French Assault in Force
North of Arras Results
in Great Loss.

London, June 10.--The French, at
tempting TO press the Germans further
back in the direction Of Lens, north
Of ArraJ, by an attack in force, have
been repulseI with great loss, the Ber-
lin War Office announces. The Paris
communicate speaks Of local infantry
actions in this district and says that
all German counter attacks were beat
en- back. It is evident that the oppos-
ing armies on the front north of Arras
are, for the present, at least, in dead
lock. The French, however, claim to
have maintained Ill their previous
gains.
Berlin admits a failure to recapture
the positions further to the south,
around Moulin-sous-Toutvent, which
the Germans lost a week ago.
The French official announcement
says:
cal infantry actions developed in the
region to the north of Arras-in the
sectors of Lorette and Neuville-and
to the south of Arras, at the Toutvent
farm. All the German counter attacks
were repulsed, and we have maintained
our gains. To the north of Melville
we have taken possession of several
German lookou posts. To-day has
been marked in these two regions only
by an artillery combat; our batteries
have violently shelled the German
trenches.
"The attack directed by the enemy
on the night of June l4-l5 against the
trenches which we captured at Quen-
nevieres, east of Tracy-le-Mont, was
carried out by eight battalions. Pris-
oners declare that the losses to the
enemy were considerable"
The German Army Headquarters an
Louncement follows:
"The French yesterday suffered a
fresh defeat In spite of the heavy
