SCHEME TO WORK TOGETHER
Point for Many Cooperative
Agricultural Enterprises.

One of the striking things about the
development of manufacturing. mer-
chandising and commerce is the large
scale on which they are carried on.
says Indiana Farmer This means that
great many people work together.
II will be found that the work is di-
videG up in such a way that certain
groups of people work at one thing
and so develop special skill and speed
in doing this particular work. Other
groups do other lines of work. This
means that everyone employed In the
industry develops special skill for do
ing his or her particular line of work.
and each line of work is under the di-
rection OF an expert. This results in
making the factory. railroad or what
ever IL is more efficient.
In farming it is not so easy to bring
this about, as each one must necessar-
lily do practically all the different
kinds Of work that need to be done on
farm. However. one farmer will de-
velop particular skill in feeding hogs.
another has great success in raising
horses. Another had a special knack
for making roads, still another farmer
can make trees and fruit to do excep-
tionally well. Such farmers are ex-
perts in these lines of work. They
ought TO be made the experts for the
community so that their skill can be
brought on to all the farms in the
community. II this could be carried
out the production of the farms in
any community would be greatly In
creased.
One way of bringing this about is
the farmers club. The farmer who has
had success in growing hogs can tell
his neighbors how he did it. AS his
farm is located right in the locality.
anyone who is interested can visit the
farm and get more information in this
way The different lines can be gone
over in the same way. This would re-
suit in bringing the best methods
worked out on each individual farm
on to many of the other farms in the
locality.
This would not only spread the skill
Of the individual farmer on to many
farms. but 1t would be a great stimu-
lus to the most successful farmers.
They would have the eyes of their
neighbor watching their methods.
They would want to do even better.
which would lead them to study their
particular line more than ever.
A great deal could be done to en-
courage the breeding of purebred
stock. and to confine it to one breed.
II is a misfortune for a community
to have several breeds of cattle 1t is
best to have just one. Then the COM
munity will develop that breed better
and that much more quickly become
noted for that one breed.
The subject Of marketing and buy
ing can be taken up in the club. IL
the club members will buy together
they can often secure better prices
from the grocer, the hardware dealer
and the machine dealer. etc.
The farmers clubs can be made the
starting point for these cooperative
enterprises. 1t can be used to secure
the farmers the benefits that big busi-
ness secures from doing things on a
big scale. Many have the idea that
nothing can be done unless there is
big organization. This is a mistake
The successful cooperative enter
prises have come from small begin
nings.

Commissioner Thomas Riggs, Jr., of the Alaskan Engineering Commission, says that no en- zines that could be used for regular transportation purposes will come to Nenana this sea son. Some dinkey engines for use in hauling material to the construction camps, however, have already come. There will not be enough track laid to make it worth while to have locomotives here before next sea son.
 No doubt as soon as there is enough track there will be en- zines for carrying supplies to the more distant points. Until such time the smaller engines will do the transportation for the railroad. So really they at the present time would be an incubus to the engineers, for they would have to handle them at a time when their efforts would count more if directed in some other channel.

Fairbanks Is Now
 A Real Home Town

Fairbanks has at last passed out of the mining camp period. It has become a real home town. The real estate firms report that there are only two vacant houses between Front street and the woods on the north and south and between the brewery and the ship yards on the east and west. Moreover, most of the people own their homes.
 There is hardly house to be had for reasonable sum of money. The prices are higher than they have been for years. The strongest demands are two or three room houses. The demand exceeds the supply This is not a boom growth,
