Nine Suggestions For December

I"of0 SoSh Will pan now TO demand
or his next legislature provision for
travelling library service. In ones
own home, much educational ad-
vantages may also be had by hay,
ing the family read together from
some great book of information or
inspiration every night this winter,
Even the reading Of one chapter from,
the Bible each night will do much TO
ennoble life in homes where addi-
tional Intellectual food is not avail
able.

1t usually takes time to arrange
FOR cooperative purchase of i'm
proved implements or machinery
so It's none too early now to decide
what lines you would like to buy in
this way. Look over the list sug
gested on this page last week. We
are constantly running up on exam
pies of the wisdom of cooperative
purchase. Only few days ago, for
example, friend remarked to us.
Il bought a $3.50 hay press last year
for 500" The statement was rather
startling, but he at once explained
now ne did 1t: II paid $40 and
seven other men paid $40 each. and
got just as much service out of the
press as IL 1 had owned it all by
myself. So to all intents and pur-
poses, 1 simply bought a $3.50 ma
chine for $40. And seven other men
did the same thing"
VII.
A man from our Southern noun
tain apple country the other day was
complaining that tens of thousands
of bushels of apples in his section
would rot for lack of adequate mar
keting facilities. Here, of course
is an excellent field for co-operativt.
effort on a rather large scale But
there is also an excellent opportunity
for local cooperation. If the farm
ers of even one neighborhood will
come together, agree to grade their
apples. and pack them properly. they
can easily advertise through sec
retary or business agent and find
buyers. We know of individual
farmers who have advertised their
apples with fine results, but we be-
lieve in cooperation in ADVERTISING
as well as in other things.
VIII.
Now is the time, too, in States
where the legislature meets this win
ter. to see or write your members
about whatever legislation you want
enacted or repealed. 1t is easier to
get Mr.. Law Makers attention now
than it will be after the legislature
begins work. And, of course, this is
another place where cooperation
counts. A club of farmers will COM
pei consideration of a subject where
an individual will often fail. Get
your local union or other farmers
club to decide on the measures need
ed for the upbuilding of State and
county and use both the mails and
personal interviews to get results.
