now before the actual marketing

AND
COOPERATION ESSENTIAL
IN PROFITABLE MARKETING

Last fall, in many parts of the
lower South, velvet beans in the hull
were sold at So, $40 and $12 a ton.
At the same time Northern . and
Western corn was selling in the same
sections for $50 TO $40. a ton, de-
spite the fact that the best feeding
authorities agree that velvet beans
have a feeding value almost equal,
pound for pound, to that of corn.
We knew of cotton seed, last year,
selling at $50 a ton at the gin, yet
before the season was owe as high
as S66 a ton was paid. Nearly ev-
cry fall there are parts of the South
where corn is sold at much lower
prices than those prevailing in near
by sections depending on the North
and West for their supplies.
AS we see it, the two measures
that will do most to remedy such
bad marketing conditions r stand
a~rdization and cooperation-stand-
~ardization in production, so that the
trade may know what to expect from
any given community; cooperation
in bringing about this STANDARDIZED
ton and cooperation in selling in lots
large enough to attract distant buy
ers.
One Of the reasons why cotton has
been and is such a popular crop is
because it is probably the easiest of
all crops to market. The bale is
standard" in size, weight and shape,
and grades are uniform. Now our
first lesson is to learn that other
commodities, if they are to be sold
for the best possible prices, must be
similarly standardized. A buyer
might pay little attention to a mixed
lot of corn, some in the ear and
some shelled, some white, some yell
low and some mixed; but offer the
trade a uniform grade of sound, dry,
white or yellow corn, sacked IN clean
sacks of uniform size, and bids will
be plentiful. Similarly, there will
probably be a poor sale for a thou
sand gallons of syrup made by Tom,
Dick and Harry, every mans syrup
put up in a different kind of con-
%tainer, with maybe a dozen grades
of syrup in the lot; but put up ev-
cry gallon in cans of the same kind
and standardize the product so that
syrup from every car is alike in con-
sistency and flavor, and a sale is
certain.
And so it is all down the line,
whether it be peas, beans, potatoes,
livestock, or what not, the stndard-
lied product brings the best prices.
The second essential we would en-
phasize is cooperation to seel in

MICHIGAN WONDER BEANS

A Texas correspondent, roting
that we had advised an inquirer to
plant the Michigan Wonder as the
best of the navy beans, wants to
know where to get them. 1t is not
probable that any seed beans can
now be had in the country, as they
were very scarce at the start in the
spring. My advice was given to a
correspondent living where these
beans will do we'll, but it would be a
waste of labor, time and money to
try to make a paying crop of them
in southwest Texas. Better grow the

LETTER FROM F. A. cARWlLE

This is July 18th and we are very
much in need of rain and how de-
pendent we are upon God for we can
not cause one drop of water to fall
or make n hair black or white.
Sometimes we act very much as II
we were independent of God but the
time will come when every tongue
shall call upon Him and confess Him
las Lord of Lords and King of Kings.
In the time of the Charleston earth
quake many who had never prayed
called upon Him for help. In these
troublous times when the greater
part of the civilized world is engaged
in the greatest war known in all the
history of the world, and the de-
struction of mankind can be heard
in every nook and corner, we should
be very humble and trust Him who
is able to anchor us safe within the
vale. If you never prayed before,
pray today for we know not what a
day will bring forth or how soon the
news will be sent across the blue wa
tiers of the mighty Atlantic telling
us of the death of our sons
Our Sunday School lesson on the
9th was about wicked King Ahaz.
He had a good father and was raised
under Christian influence and had
every opportunity to make a good
man, but he led his people astray
and engaged in all that was wicked
and worshipped idols. He was only
20 years old when he began to reign,
lust old enough to have very little
n though he thought he knew it
all. He, as all others like him, reap
ed what he sowed. He had a good
son in the person of Hezekiah, who
succeeded him and ruled wisely.
Sometimes a good mar can have a
bad son and then a bad man a have
a good son and you have known this
to be so.
David, a mar after Gods own
heart, had bad sons with the eXcep-
ton of Solomon and in his declln-
ing years he departed from the teach,
ings of the great Jehovah, and wor-
shipped idols, for he loved many
strange and had 700 wives
and 800 women who were not and
they tanned away his heart. Well
that was enough to do it. Absalom
another son tried to take the king
dom from his father but when he
was in battle in the woods one day
his head caught in an oak and Joat
threw three darts through his hear
and he died while he was yet alive II
the midst of the oak. If you vii
read your bible you will find that
Joab suffered a violent death ant
his blood came upon his own heae

Ruler Of earth and heaven ABOVE,
In Jesus's name for help we plead;
Great are Thy mercies, great ou1
need.
Dark clouds of war above US lower
Grant US the aid of Heavenly Power
We will not fear what may betide
If Thou, o God, be on our side.
Not for vain glory do we go
To war against the ruthless foe;
Fighting for righteous cause and
just
In Thee we put our hope and trust.
Free us from vengeful hate, we pray,
Vengeance is Thine; Thou wilt repay
Thou wilt help them who suffer
wrong,
Nor give the victory to the strong.
Our soldiers on the battle plain,
Our sailors on the perilous main,
May they be true of heart to fight
AS serving Thee and in Thy sight.
Support the dying, Lord; and bless
The widows and the fatherless;
Bind up the broken hearts that
mourn
For them who never will return.
Comfort the wounded in their pain;
The prisoners with Thy grace sus-
tain,
Not unto us, but unto Thee
Shall be the praise for victory.
May they who govern us fulfill
Their task according to Thy will,
Speed the glad day when wars shall
cease,
And all the world may be at peace.
Amen.

January 3, 1917.
The United States DEPART
ment of Agriculture, in connec-
ton with its distribution of new
and rare field seeds for expert
mental purposes, has requested
Congressman w. G. Hawley to
recommend four hundred farm
ers in the First District of Ore
gon whi will be sufficiently inter-
ested to experiment with one
variety of the special seed during
the coming season and report
to the Department the results
obtained from their tests.
The seed assigned Mr.. Haw-
ley consists Of seventy four,
pound packages of Kansas
grown alfalfa, three hundred
four-pound packages of an i'm
proved variety Of field pea, and
thirty two-pound packages OF
white sweet clover seed. Only
one kind OF seed will be furnish
ed a farmer for trial and Mr..
Hawley will send the seed in the
order In which he receives re-
quests for 1t. Any farmer de-
string the seed should state his
preference and should the seed
he especially desires be taken
by prior requests. state his sec
ond or third choice.
The seed will be mailed from
the Departments warehouse d.
rect to the farmer, upon Mr..
Hawley's requisition, and will be
accompanied by a circular giving
full instructions regarding the
culture OF the crop furnished.
Since a considerable portion of
the seed is intended for spring
planting, the Department wishes
to distribute It before March
first. 1917. Mr.. Hawley will
gladly send the seed to interest
ed farmers upon their requests
so long as the supply lasts. and.
