SHIPPING WATERMELONS

quoted from Farmers Bulletin S21, Watermelon Diseases:''
 'Use a large kettle of enamel ware, as the bluestone attacks iron or tin. Place 312 quarts of water and ounces of blue stone in the kettle and bring the mix ture to boil over a good fire. While 1t is heating, mix in a separate vessel ounces of starch with l pint of cold water, stirring until milk solution free from humps is obtained. AS soon as the bluestone is entirely dissolved and the solution boiling, add the starch mixture, pouring it in slow stream and stirring the hot solution vigorously to prevent the formation of Jumps. Continue boiling and stirring the mixture until the starch thickens evenly. It may be tested at in- tervals by allowing it to run from the end of the paddle. This should not require more than one or two minutes boiling after the addition of the starch.
 The paste seems to be more readily applied when made up fresh, but if it is desired to make up quantity at one time it may be depended upon to keep a week or two by using only one-fourth to one half the proportion of water previously specified and then diluting the resultant thicker paste to he proper consistency as needed for use. Quart glass fruit jars with glass or enamel-lined tops make convenient containers.
 Where it is impracticab1e to make a paste, good results can be obtained with a commercial Bordeaux paste thinned with water to the consistency of paint As in the case of sulphate paste, be care full not to smear the Bordeaux paste on the melon.
 The stem treatment is effective against stem-end rot and reports that treated melons have routed indicate that the rot was due to anthracnose or causes other than Stem-end rot.
 The subject is fully discussed in Farmers Bulletin S21, "Watermelon Dis eases,' which treats in detail wilt, root knot, and anthracnose, as well as stem end rot and the many minor diseases. This bulletin should be in the hands of every watermelon grower.

AUTUMN BOOTS

Seven inches is the prescribed height for women's boots for fall. No boot may be taller without flying in the face of government regulations, for, in order to conserve raw material used in foot war, Uncle Sam has decreed that wom- ems boots must be lower than fashion has decreed through the past few sea- sons. Seven inches, insists Uncle Sam, is a proper and attractive height for a boot and the extravagant use of ma terial in 16 and 1S-buttoned footwear must be discontinued. The new walking boot has 14 buttons, and there are mod els coming out with only 12, or even 10 buttons. The laced boot will have to go-as far as walking and dancing foot wear is concerned, for low topped laced boot is a rather dumpy and un- graceful affafr-especially when angles are not extremely slender. The seven inch height. be it added, Is not from the ground up: but from the point where the heel Is fastened to the sole. to the top of the cloth or leather "up- per-

DON'T EXPOSE COTTON

Never expose cotton to the weather by leaving it on the ground. Cotton so ex- posed will be reduced in grade by dis coloration, especially if a rainstorm should occur. If it is loaded in wagons it should be covered over night so that it will not become wet either by heavy dew or rain Farmers should arrange for shelter for cotton in advance to save de- lay and confusion.
 Under no circumstances should seed cot ton be taken to the gin unless it is thor oughly dry as bale which has been gin cut or poorly ginned is always pen alized heavily by the buyer.
 Get acquainted with methods used at your gin and arrange for proper meth ods on your years crop. The mixing of cotton from different wagons is an evil prevalent at many of the gins. This causes what is known as plated bales, and since the bale is sold by the lowest grade it contains such cotton is usually penalized. Every farmer should insist upon the ginner running out completely all of the cotton belonging to the cus- toner that preceded him. A high grade of cotton following a low-grade on the same gin is sold on the basis of the lower grade, even if it is only few pounds Thus a careful farmer is pen alized because of the carelessness of the ginner.
 Arrange to have your bales covered after ginning, and have them marked and properly stored. They should not lie on the ground even when protected by a cover, because the resulting damage through dampness, mildew and subse- quent discooration often affects large portion of the cotton in the bale, and compels the buyer to penalize it exces- sively.
 The cotton producer should plant to have his seed cotton ginned and should sell his baed lint and his seed separa tely. In the majority of cases the seller of cot ton in the seed loses money.
 The custom of selling unginned cotton should be discontinued, except in com munities of scanty production or where cotton for a bale.

the coming activities and lay down a complete programme of action.
 Cooperative organizations should take an active part in solving problems of harvesting and labor supply. Grades and standards should be formulated if they have not already been established. Like wise system of inspection should be decided upon in order that the products shipped will be of proper grade, quality and uniformity. Complete information relative to the local production and the amount of business available for sale through the association should be se- cured. Information relative to the pro- duction of other localities is also of im- portance. The management of co-opera- tive marketing associations should keep in close touch with the outlets for the products handled and market conditions. Transportation problems are also of prime importance and should receive careful att tention by the association.
 As first step toward successful mar keting the farmer should plan to pick his cotton as soon as possible after the boil opens, because if it is alloked to be exposed to the weather too long after reaching maturity it becomes discolored and leafy. Ordinarily. cotton gathered with care from the first pckings should grade from strict to good middling or better. According to prices prevailing July 18 the difference in value between mddling and strict middling is $1 per bale; between strict middling and good good middling and strict good middling tween middling and strict good mid-

COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATIONS

Many producers fail to receive the high est returns for their products because they do not pay sufficient attention to their marketing problems. In many in stances this is due to the fact that the output of the individual growers is not sufficiently large to enable them to gain extensive market information or find the best outlets for their products. A CO., operative association when properly or eanized and operated frequently renders efficient service to communities of such producers.
 It is important that all communities contemplating marketing this season s products co-operatively should take inn mediate steps to perfect an organization for this purpose if they have not already done so. A community intending to form a cooperative marketing organization should select representative committees of producers to ascertain the need for cooperative effort, the amount of busi- ness available for such an enterprise and the support it is likely to receive, and to formulate plans and draft suitable by laws for the organization. An association should not be formed unless there is suf- ficient demand for such an enterprise and the amount of available business is large enough to make it practicable.
 It is important that suck organizations be well established and fully prepared in order that they may handle the work of marketing efficiently. All cooperative marketing organizations should plan for
