ing in lots large enough to attract distant buyers.
 One of the reasons why cotton has been and is such 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. No our first lesson is to learn that other commodities, if they are to be sold for the best possible prices, must b similarly standardized. A buyer might pay little attention to a mixed lot of corn, some in the ear and some shelled, some white, some yellow 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 prob ably be a poor sale for thousand gallons of syrup made by Tom, Dick and Harry, every mans syrup put up in different kind of container, with maybe dozen grades of syrup in the lot; but put up every gallon in cans of the same kind, and stand ardize the product so that syrup from every can is alike in consistency and flavor, and a sale is certain.
 And so it is all down the line, whether it be peas, beans, potatoes

livestock or whatnot, the standardized product brings the best prices.
 The second essential we would en- phasize is cooperation to sell in quantity. The large buyers in Sa- vannah, New Orleans or Houston will pay no attention to an offer of a single bale of cotton, but offer 100 or 1000 bales and he is ready to bid. Likewise, wagon load of cotton seed may not interest the oig oil mill, but offer carload or two and top-of-the- market bids are almost certain And the same is true of every other crop, perishable or otherwise, that we sell, big lots bring the big prices. It follows, of course, since one farmer in one hundred is not big enough to ship in carlots, that .neighbors must pool their offerings if the best

Two things, plant foods and mois- ture, in abundance, are vitally neces- sary to the production of large crops.

High quality and large quantity, to be secured by standardization and CO operation-these are of first impor- tance to the small farmer who would get the highest prices. And now before the actual marketing season is on us is the time to plan for these.
