CHECKING UP OFTEN NEEDED
Members of Farmers Organizations Owe 1t to Themselves to Audit
 Accounts Frequently.

The fault of many mutual or coop erative organizations is financial. We have numerous farmers organizations that handle more or less money. Be it said to the credit of most of them. the officers have handled the finances in the way they should be handled. Some of these organizations give the financial officials real, genuine check ing up, while some have an auditing committee that does just about what the secretary or treasurer tells it to dc, and others do not check their off cials at all.
 Many a good man has gone wrong just because he was not checked up, says Twentieth Century Farmer. The members of every organization han ding funds owe it to themselves and to their officials to check up all finan- cial transactions carefully. A lot of what might have been good. useful farmers organizations have failed and quit business just because their chief financial officer went wrong. Gener- ally this man went wrong because he was not properly checked up.
 No honest man will want anything but a thorough checking up. and the dishonest man surely must have it or failure will result. A little more busi- nesslike methods injected into some of these organizations will keep them going and allow them to perform the work for which they were organized

LABOR IS GREATEST FACTOR
Much Land Permitted to Go UncuIti- vated Because of Use of Four
 Horse Power Machinery.

Land is not the greatest factor of cost in crop production, according to the Nebraska Agricultural college. La bor ordinarily costs more than the land, and the more extensive the type of farming the greater the labor cost is, compared with the land cost The farmer is frequently criticized for wasting land because he allows the corners and other small patches of a few yards to go uncultivated One reason for this so-called waste is the use of four-horse machinery
 The farmer. however, can better af- ford to lose the use of little land than to use smaller machines. It is of more importance to employ man, horse, and machine labor efficiently than to till each square foot of land.
 The tillage of odd corners may often De avoided by the sowing of a grass plot.

COMMON ACTION IS REQUIRED
Department of Agriculture Issues Bull Ietin on Cotton Growing in IT,
 rieatins Regions.

The individualism that has marked the farmer of the East and South who has preferred to fail, if necessary, ac- cording to his own opinions, rather than to cooperate with his neighbors in uniform methods, has been lost al- most automatically by Fasteners and Southerners who have gone West. Es- peeially in fruit production the need for common action has been apparent fl markets thousands of miles away were to be controlled, and, as a re- suit, strong cooperative associations have sprung up. Now the department of agriculture has recognized the wis dom of such cooperation by issuing a bulletin pointing out that cotton growing, at least in irrigated regions, cannot be carried on to best advantage on an individualistic basis, but re- quires community action.
 It is pointed out that in such com munity action bankers, cotton buyers, ginners and manufacturers, as well as growers, must take part before a sta. biliZed, dependable crop can be pro- duced. The government has demon strated for instance, the most suitable and most profitable of known varie- ties of cotton that can be grown in the Imperial valley of California, but only 150 of the 600 cotton growers of the region have adopted it, with the result that full possibilities cannot yet be realized Even with this condition, however. the department of agricul- ture points out that the 150 growers who have adopted the standard va riety, by organizing, have greatly bet tered conditions, and, by common sup port of ginners and by the insuring of a certain supply to buyers and manu lecturers. have placed themselves on a much better basis than unorganized producers of their own and other com. munities.

Importance of Thrift.

The present year marks the hun dredth anniversary of savings banks in the United States. The Philadels phia Savings Fund society came into being in lSl6. New York was three years late i'll catching step with the Quaker city. While the last decade shows a remarkable increase in say ings deposits, America is far behind some European countries in the prac- tiee of thrift. Only II per cent of our population is counted among the sav- CTS. whereas France numbers BAG per cent. or more than one-third of it's people. in the class who lay by. The importance of that fact is seen in the financial stability of France under the heavy strain of war.

MEANS MONEY FOR FARMERS
More Attention Should Be Given to the Question of Marketing Than of
 Increasing Yields.

Officials of the department of agri- culture are now of the opinion that more attention should be given by them to the question of marketing, than to that of increasing crop yields. says Wisconsin Agriculturist
 Conditions today on the farm are such that both producers and consum- CTS feel there is something radically i wrong with the business of marketing i farm products.
 Higher land values, higher paid la 1 Dor, the expense of fertilization, of 1 fighting diseases, insect and fungous pests, together with decreased yields in some cases have emphasized the needs of radical change in business methods.
 Some claim that land is not being properly farmed and that what is need l ed is to make the land produce more to the acre. But doubling of pro duction will not necessarily greatly l improve the conditions of the farmer or relieve the burden of prices to the consumer.
 Officials of the office of markets, say that the largest apple crop, the l largest corn crop, and the largest cot ton crop in the history of the nation has yielded the producers of these l crops a less amount of profit than has been obtained in certain years of 1 less production, and 1t is also known 1 that in these years of enormous crops the prices paid by consumers in some sections have not reflected in the proper degree, the low prices paid to the farmer
 The American manufacturer is sue eessful because he gives as much, if not more, attention to the question of distribution as to that of produc- tion; but where would he land if his sole thought be on production and none on distribution or selling? The farmer of today is in a similar posi- tion to that of manufacturer, but when the manner of selling his prod uets is observed, the conclusion is formed that his marketing methods consist rather of dumping" than of marketing.
 The government officials say that some men attribute marketing difficult ties to the presence of so many spec ulators and middlemen, but that it must be remembered that these agents have come into existence to perform services that the farmer fails to per form for himself.
 If the farmer does not arrange to finance his business, he must pay others to do it If he cannot store his crops and hold them until the mar kets are ready to use them, he calls into existence a class of spectators who demand and receive a liberal price for taking the chance of per forming this service. All of these agents or middlemen must be paid and most of them are in position to collect their charges whether or net the eonsignor realizes anything at all
 The government officials conclusion in reference to the middlemen may be more or less true to the extent that If farmers cannot sell their own crops, the middleman becomes a necessity. However, he is somewhat of a para site; a man who produces nothing. but lives off the profits of the pro- ducer and consumer. The question is: how to eliminate this middleman who often waxes fat at the expense of the farmer?

Measles Yield to Serum.

An entirely new treatment of mea- sles is reported by Dr. Umberto Ma joli in Il Policlinico. It consists in the removal of blood serum from con valeseents and injecting it into pa tients in the acute stage of the dis ease. Doctor Majoli tried it during an epidemic of measles at Ancona, and with great success. He gave in- jections from to 20 cubic centime- ters of a mixed serum obtained from several convalescents. The effect was to lower the disease and prevent com plications. The Medical Record notes that similar treatment has been used in scarlet fever since 1896

LITTLE BUT 4 MEMORY
FAMOUS BATTlESHlP OREGON
 HAS HAD ITS DAY.
Seventeen Years Ago She Was Prob ably the Most Famous Vessel Afloat-Now Is Reegated to
 a Minor Position.

Seventeen years ago the name of the Oregon was on the lips of every American 1t had rounded the Horn on record breaking voyage of 1S,000 miles and then won additional renown in the battle of Santiago bay. The Oregon was the pride of Uncle Sam the queen of the seas. For years, how ever. it has been out of date. Officially it has been rated as a second-class yes sel; by the more tiippant as junk. Now the navy department has got rid of it by presenting it to the state of California for use by it's naval militia. So runs the world away-for battle ships as well as for men, observes the Sioux City Journal.
 Who that recalls the war with Spain will ever forget the Oregon? Foresee- ing break with Spain, Washington ordered 1t to sail from Mare Island navy yard at San Francisco to Key West The long distance run proved to be most spectacular undertaking. War was declared while the Oregon was on it's way. and fears for it's safe ty were entertained until it hove in sight, reports having been set atioat that Spain had sent out a fleet to in tercept it. The long trip was remark able for the fact that the battleship stopped nowhere except for coal and was not delayed an hour by any break down in it's machinery. Capt. Charles Edgar Clark was in command, and his name became almost as famous as that of the Oregon. He is one of the few of those who took leading roles in the Spanish-American war who are still alive
 Nor did the Oregon rest on it's laurels after it had steamed into Key West late in May, 1898. It had been brought from the Pacific to the Allan tic for business. and that business was to fight. It proceeded at once to San. tiago and in the battle of July 3 with Admiral Gerveras s fleet was in the thick of the trouble from the first to last To the Oregon belongs credit for forcing the surrender of the Viz. caya and the Christobal Colon and possibly for saving the Brooklyn, the flagship of Commodore Sehley.
 Yet today this one time bulldog of the navy is not considered of enough account in the national armament to be kept in the service! So many changes have come about in the mak. ing of battleships the once wonderful Oregon is now fit subject for the scrap heap. It was a great vessel in it's day, and around it cluster hal lowed memories. but more than that cannot be said for it.
 Let anyone who has notion that the United States navy has not been growing in the last twenty years com. pare list of the vessels which then made up our defense at sea with a list of the vessels of 1915 Where then the Iowa, the Indiana and others stood proudly at the head of the procession now they humbly fall in far behind the Arizona, the Pennsylvania and others of later make and more generous pro portions. Yet the Arizonas day and the Pennsylvania day also will come, as has come that of the Oregon, and as came that of the Monitor and that of Old Ironsides.
