Livestock Shipping
Associations Organized
for Farm Communities

The farmers around Lansford, North
Dakota, assisted by County Agent
Humphreys, have organized a coop
erative Livestock Shipping associa-
ton. This will make it possible for
these farmers whenever they have a
carload Of stock to market it them
selves and in this way secure all that
the market pays.
When a farmer wants to sell stock
he notifies the secretary who, when
he has enough stock listed, sets a day
for shipping and the stock Is brought
In and shipped to st. Paul or Chicago.
The carload or carloads will be &C
companied by the manager or some
farmer. This brings the farmers in
closer contact with the market so that
they have q chance to learn just what
much better 1t pays to market good
stock.
In organizing a livestock shippers
association a constitution and by
Jaws are important. The constitution
requires that a name be chosen and
that the object Of forming the associa-
ton be set forth. It will also define
ship Is usually limited to farmers. The
association must have officers and
these are usually president. vice-pres-
ident and secretary treasurer. The
management is left to an executive
committee composed of three or more
members. The entire management is
sometimes given to the secretary or a
manager may be hired. The manager
is generally paid on a commission
basis Of certain sum per hundred
weight OF stock sold. or so much for
each car Of stock handled.
When q member wants to ship
stock he should notify the
manager as to how many head he
has, what kind Of stock they are and
the approximate weight. When enough
stock has been listed to make a ship
ment the manager orders a car or cars
and notifies the members as to the
day for bringing in the stock. Each
farmers stock is marked so that on
the market each lot is sold by itself.
In this way the farmer receives what
his stock actually brings. And it is
as good a price as though he had
O carload. When the returns
are received the manager figures up
all the expense of shipping, such as
feed and freight, pro rates it and takes
out the amount that comes against
each shipment. He further takes out
V or 8 cents per hundred for protec-

ton fund. This is used to pay for
animals that may be injured or killed
in transit. The rest is returned to
the shipper. In this way the farmer
gets all that the stock brings as only
actual expenses are taken out. The
manager accompanies the check with
a complete report of the shipment so
that the shipper gets a complete his
tory of his stock shipment. Sets OF
books and blanks have been made
that make it possible to keep a COM
plete record of every lot in a ship
ment-and that with but little work.
1t also makes a permanent record so
that the history of any shipment
made in the past can be looked up
at any time. The manager is usually
required to furnish a bond.
The agricultural extension depart
ment of the North Dakota agricul-
tural college is ready to aid any COM
munity in organizing a cooperative
shipping association, to furnish in
formation, constitution and bylaws
and bulletin giving full information.
There are many cooperative live
stock shipping associations in North
Dakota; nearly all are in county
agent territory. The farmers are
turns that they are in this way Sc
curing for their stock. 1t has given
livestock raising quite a boost in
these places. The county agents have
been active in urging the advantage
OF this method of selling livestock.
They have found it one of the best
means for creating a better interest in
livestock production.
The cooperative livestock selling
association makes it possible for the
farmer with less than a carload of
hogs or cattle to secure as good pric-
es as though he had a carload.
The cooperative shipping Of live
stock was begun at Litchfield, Mime
sofa, in 1908. This association is still
active and does a big business. Min
nesota now has over 200 Of these live
stock shipping associations. The
leading shipping association in North
Dakota is the South End Shippers as
ISOLATION with headquarters at Hope.
1t ships more than carload of stock
a week.
Every community ought to have a
cooperative livestock shippers asso-
citation. The great merit of the live
stock shippers association is that a
farmer can ship few animals at any
time and secure as good prices as
though he shipped in carload lots.

WASHINGTON, August 11.-meas- ures to control the sale and price of wheat flour and food will be started next week by the food control board.
 Breadstuffs, it was said today. will be the food over which the govern ment will first exercise supervision. Meat and dairy products will come next.
 Regulation of food products will be taken up by commodities. As fast as plans are made the food administration will make known its program. The present intention is to improve eco homie conditions through cooperation of industries concerned and no at tempt will be made to enforce compli. ance with the law unless the co-opera- ton plan fails.
 The administration is preparing a series of statements on the food situa- tion in the United States and abroad and hopes to impress on the American people the necessity for assistance in carrying out it's aims.
