SEED AND BINDER TwINE

The Missouri Farmers Assn is in
position to supply any farmer who
belongs to a Farm Club with tic
wholesale price on farm seeds such as
Red Clover, Alsike Clover, Sweet
Clover, Alfalfa, Timothy, Sudan
Grass, Cane seed Red Top, Bluegrass,
Orchard Grass, Millet, Cowpeas, Soy
beans ,etc.-and Furthermore it guar
antees every pound of the seed sent
out under its auspices TO be of the very
highest quality. 1t it supplying
these seeds for its more than 10000
members at a big money saving price
and farmers who are in the market
should act Immediately before the
supply gives out. The Assn is also
booking orders for the best of Stand
ard binder Irvine which will cost its
members less than the average retail
dealer will have to pay. Farmers who
order this Irvine will have until April
LIST to either increase or cut down the
amount of their orders and the Irvine
will be paid for when delivered-de-
livery being accepted as soon after
Irvine alone will pay the first wears
dues in the Missouri Farmers Assn
several times over for the average
farmer. Wherever possible a 10000
Id. car should be made up at each
shipping point. Members can also
obtain the wholesale price on wool
Irvine and wool sacks and wherever
a carload of wool can be assembled,
the Assn will see that farmers get
the highest wholesale price-and this
means a big saving.
Also if you r in need of corn, oats,
hay, Commercial Fertilizers, tankage,
cotton seed meal and cake, linsecd
ollmeal, flour, bran, shorts, coal, salt,
the Assn will get you the lowest
wholesale price on any of these COM
modities-and in the aggregate it
means a tremendous saving. If you
need spraying materials for your or
ctlard, these al be ordered at a big
saving also. From the above the
reader should not include that the
Missouri Farmers Assn is a Farm
erS Store" movement-for except on
the above carload commodities it does
not invade the local commercial field.
1t does not, for instance, deal in gro
ceres, hardware, farm implements,
lumber, dry goods, clothing, shoes,
etc. At this time the ASSN has over
1000 school house Farm Clubs and
scores of these Clubs saved over $1,000.
last year. Under it's auspices a great
many Live Stock Shipping ASSN are
being formed and through such Ass. ms
members are receiving at least 81
per cwt. more for their hogs, fat cows
and sheep. There are umerou
shipping points in the state where
these savings amounted to $25, 900 or
100000 last year. Why not organize
n in your community? Also so or
so Farmers Elevators are now being
financed under the cooperation of the
State Assn 1t employs its own ar
chltect and contractor and buys all
the Elevator machinery at wholesale
and thus an Elevator can be erected
for from $1,000 to $4,000 less under its
plans than if a group of farmers acted
on their w initiative.
The Assn is now represented in
over 90 Missouri counties and is grow
ing very fast-it being the intention
of the directors to perfect an organi-
cation before the present year IS out
in every school district in the state.
Farmers who would like to avail
themselves of the above savings
should write Immediately for a Farm
Club Address which contains Consti-
tuition and Bylaws. Then all that is
necessary is to call a school house
meeting and form a Club. The first
years dues are $3.50 and the second
year $3.50. Nine out of ten farmers
can save this amount many times
over. If you want to get in on the
seed and Irvine deal there isn't
a moment to lose and you should
drop a letter to the Missouri
Farmers Assn, Columbia, Mo-. todayi
