ner similar to the 500 notes turned
in by members to the local associa-
tions.
Contracts of members of local as
sociations run Indefinitely but may
be terminated June 1 any year by
giving 80 days notice. A member
may be dropped from any associa-
tion through failure to carry out his
contract.
Stock is to earn per cent. All
other profits are to be distributed on
a patronage basis.
Selling is to be on grade and the
pooling of like-graded shipments,
settlement being made as soon as a
pool is closed. In Michigan, which
has an organization of similar kind,
the grower draws a fair per cent
against his shipment, and the balance
is paid out at the close of the pool.
Michigan growers have averaged in
profits about 20 cents per hundred
weight.
1t has been suggested that associa-
tiOns now organizing but incorpor-
ated under the general Incorporation
law be admitted without reincorpor-
alton to the exchange, if they meet
the requirements of cooperation as
to the one-man, one-vote principle,
and distribution of profits.

MEETING ADJOURNED -
NO QUORUM PRESENT
Farm Bureau Association Will
Elect Officers at Later
Date

Lack of quorum at the Farm
Bureau meeting which took place at
the court house on Tuesday, made it
impossible to elect the officers for the
coming year, as had been originally
planned, and the meeting was ad-
Journed to an indefinite date. The
men who were present we're addressed
by J. S. Jones', assistant county agent
leader at the University Farm, and
by R. w. Keeler, president of the
Farm Bureau, and general inform
al discussion of problems of interest
followed.
Mr.. Jones spoke of the success of
the membership campaigns which
had taken place in the twenty-four
counties of the state of which he has
charge. He pointed out the signi-
f1cance of the fact that in those coun-
ties which bordered on the Iowa line,
the percentage of farmers belonging
to the Association was particularly
high, due to the intensive campaign
which had been carried on, on the
other side Of the state line, and the
success of the Iowa Bureaus-Iowa
has had the advantages of a state
federation for over year.
Mr.. Kee1er, in his talk, asserted
that the Farm Bureau had paid for
itself many times over by the aid it
had given to the farmers, and ex-
pressed the hope that he would wit
ness the time when there would be
a thousand members in the associa-
tion, with dues Of $40 each. It was
generally recommended to raise the
dues to five dollars a year for the
present.
Mr.. Nash, the county agent, plans
to start his membership campaign
here soon, and with the aid Of the
township committees materially raise
the number of farmers belonging to
the association.

ceived word that he arrived at his
future home in Wapata, Washing
ton, on the day before Thanksgiving,
after long hard trip. Mr.. Burpee
went in the freight car with. his
household goods, and COW and sew
eral cats, and states that the animals
occasionally tried to crowd him out,
and that it was sometimes a difficult
matter to persuade him that he had
just as much right in the car as he
had. Also the road was bumpy, and
the car, in spite Of a stove, was cold.

tination on Monday; and Mr.. and

School, and John who is at the North

STATE EXCHANGE
PLAN TAKING SHAPE
Potato Growers to Form Local Co.
operative Associations, Which
Join in Central Exchange

Outlines of constitution and by
laws for a state cooperative potato
exchange and local cooperative pot
ato associations have been prepared
by the temporary board of directors
appointed at the recent convention
of the Minnesota Potato Growers
association in Moorhead.
The outline as prepared calls for:
1. Local cooperative shipping as
sOciatiOns made up of several mem
bers on the stock share basis, each
share to cost $40, and each member
to have only one vote; each member,
also, to make a contract with his as
ssociation to supply it stated
amount, acreage, or percentage, of
his seasons crop every year, and to
give a note for 800, guaranteeing
the performance of contract.
g. A central exchange made up of
locals which agree to ship through
the exchange, each local to take not
less than one share nor more than
10 shares of capital stock at 500
in the exchange, and to give to the
exchange a guarantee note of $500
to assure performance of contract.
3. The central exchange to be
managed by board Of directors of
seven or more, elected by delegates
from each local, officers to be elect
ed by the board.
The fund raised from stock in the
locals is to create capital out of
which local equipment and a share
of stock in the central exchange may
be paid for. The 800 notes given
by local members, beside guarantee
ing performance of contract, may be
used as security for money to create
a revolving fund with which to do
current business. No other use may
Se made of them. The stock paid in
= by locals to the central exchange is
to provide capital with which to
equip and maintain the central or
ganization. The $500 notes turned
in by the locals to the, central ex-
change are to be used only in a man

Good Old Mizzoo

AAN@8 &AAoCA0R " 01aeI
The good old commonwealth of Mis-.
souri,, which has contributed so gener-
ously to the sturdy citizenship Of Calf
fornia and the Pacific coast states gem
orally, is making great preparations to
celebrate its coming centenary.
This Missouri celebration is to be an
alloverthe-state merry making and
historie review, and will take place in
the summer Of 1921. The JOY of it will
cure the "rheumatiz."
As early as 1541 De Soto discovered
Missouri, when he penetrated the
Ozark country. And people have been
discovering Missouri ever since, Al
most 80 per cent Of the soil OF the old
state is ciassed as farm area and near
ly rs per cent of this tillable landtiT
now in cultivation.
Missouri is one of the grand old
commonwealth Of the republic. To
have originated in Missouri is rated
a high mark Of distinction and pass
port to neutrality-suspicious. among Mis-
sourians. Missourians living in Cali
fornia remain loyal to the old sod and
to most Of the old traditions that
haven't been prohibited by law. 1t is
safe to predict that the summer OF
1921 will find California's Missouri
contingent locally COMMUNICATING this
great Missouri centenary event with
enthusiasm.
