my sons health was all run down
after he got up from an attack of
the influenza. He had no energy at
all and could hardly drag around.
His appetite was so poor that he
didn't care for anything to eat.
HE kept going down and fell off
in weight and nothing did him any
good.
Finally heard of Meritone and
what it was doing for others, and de-
cided to let him try it.
"Since taking two bottles he has
gained five pounds and just can't get
enough to eat.
''That tired, draggy feeling has left
him and he delights in doing his
school work now.
He has a better color and sleeps
fine. In fact, Meritone has made a
new boy out of him and he is as hap
py as can be?"

CONSIDER CONSOLIDATING

A meeting was held at the

Thursday evening for the pur-
pose of discussing consolidation
of that district with Districts
Nos. So and 65. the Degerstrom
and Jackson schools. respective
ly. The meeting was quite we'll
attended. about forty being pre-
sent and County Superintendent
of Schools J. P. Miller was also
present and outlined the proce-
dure of consolidation and it's ad-
vantages.
Many are in favor Of consoli-
dation and undoubtedly many
others are of the opposite
opinion. Most of those who at
tended the meeting Thursday
favor consolidation. The opposi.
tion will most likely be brought
out later.
There is a total enrolment of
about IS in the three schools and
should they consolidate it is
planned to build a large school
at a central location. From the
enthusiasm manifested at the
Thursday meeting it is probable
that a petition will be circulated
asking for a vote on consolidation
in the near future.

Pine County
Farm News
Edited by w. j. Corwin. Manager
Pine County Farm
Bureau.

Most farmers are interested in
the subject of potato marketing.
1t is large question and deserv-
ing Of consideration. Some COM
munities of the county are par
ticularly interested in potato
warehouse associations. To such
communities the Farm Bureau
is willing and anxious to lend
any assistance possible.
Successful potato marketing
depends first of all upon the
quality of the product and the
reputation that is maintained by
the community. AS in. all mar
keting problems the community
reputation does not. rest entirely
upon a few men who are willing
and anxious to send out onlyA
/ stuff. The right kind of COM
munity reputation can only be
maintained when every man
selling potatoes sees to it that
he sells only A l stock. This is
the first and fundamental point
in better marketing returns.
The second point is standardiza-
tion of varieties which am
glad to say is pretty we'll under
way in Pine county. This was
made possible mainly through
the efforts of the members Of
the County Farm Bureau Associ-
alton.
The Farm Bureau office is pre-
pared to furnish all sorts of as
sistance on warehouse plans,
organization methods and other
details that often come up. The
potato Warehouse Association at
ssSdii Il taking steps to market
collectively in large quantities
and build up a reputation for
their community on the basis
above mentioned. Askov Pro-
duce Association was organized
last year and made d successful
beginning. Their net returns
last fall averaged favorably with
prices paid elsewhere and this
spring their net returns aver.
aged higher than other local mar
kets.
As we have so often stated be-
fore the two principal ways Of
increasing net returns of the
potato crop or any other farm
product are: first, and most inn
| portant, efficient production
Second, and next important, ef-
'.fcient marketing. A combina-
ton Of these two factors should

place our products on the large
distributing centers with the
least cost. The factors CONTROL.
ing efficient production are with.
in the control of the individual
The questions of efficient mar.
keting can only be controlled by
union of effort on the part OF
all the farmers in the COM
munity.
The factors governing efficient
production are quite generally
understood, if not always prac.
ticed. The marketing subject is
not so generally understood and
must be worked out gradually ir
local groups first. A combina.
tion of these groups later may
prove favorable and necessary

ers. generally speaking, have
made a good start towards stad'
ardizing the varieties and We
hope this fall will see some
change in the quality Of potatoes
that are offered for sale. In q
year of over-production, such as
frequently happens in a potato
game, the community that has
the best reputation stands the
best chance of getting the top
prices.
Maximum returns per acre af-
ford better basis for compar-
ing two farmers as potato grow
ers than does the price per
bushel they receive, though both
are important. The price per
bushel is held nearer the top Of
the market in those communities
which have built up their repu.
tation by years of delivering
extra good stuff. II you have
some potatoes that are not first
class, it is a much better plan to
sell them ny themselves for
what they are worth than tc
mix them in with the good ones
Marketing improvement in gene.
raj, has great possibilities but we
should never lose sight Of the
real Importance Of efficiency in
production. The Farm Bureau
is willing and anxious to render
any service to stimulate and i'm.
prove marketing conditions wher.
ever possible.
