FARM SEEDS AND
BINDER TWINE

The Missouri Farmers Association
is in position to supply any farmer
who belongs to farm club with the
wholesale price on farm seeds such as
Red Clover, Alsike Glover, Sweet Clio
yer, Alfalfa, Timothy, Sudan Grass,
Cane seed, Red Top, Bluegrass, Or
chard grass, Millet, Cowpeas, Soy
beans, etc.-and furthermore. 1t guar
antees every pound of the seed sent
out under it's auspices to be Of the very
highest quality. 1t is supplying these
seeds for its more than 10000 men,
bers at big money saving price, and
farmers who are in the market should
act Immediately before the supply
gives out. The Association is also
booking orders for the best of Stan
dard 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-deliv-
cry being accepted as soon after April
LIST as possible. The saving on Irvine
alone will pay the first years dues in
the Missouri Farmers Association
several times over for the average
farmer. Wherever possible 10000
pound car should be made up at each
shipping point. Members can also OBJ
tain the wholesale price on wool Irvine
and wool sacks and wherever carload
of wool can be assembled, the asso-
citation will see that farmers get the
highest wholesale price-and this
means a big saving. tgLsfEE
Also, if you are in need Of corn,
oats, hay, commercial fertilizers, tank
age, cotton seed meal and cake, lin
seed oilmeal, flour, bran, shorts, coal,
salt, the association will get you the
lowest wholesale price on any of these
commodities-and in the aggregate it
means a tremendous saving. If you
need spraying materials for your or
chard, these can be ordered at big
saving also. From the above the read
err should not conclude that the Mis-
souri, Farmers Association is a
Farmers Store" movement-for eX-
cept on the above carload commodities
it does not invade the local CONNER
cial field. 1t does not, for instance
deal in groceries, hardware, farm i'm
plements, lumber, dry goods, clothing
shoes, etc. At this time the Associa-
lion has over 1000 school house Farm
Clubs and scores of these clubs saved
over $1,000 last year. Under its au
spices a great many live stock ship
ping associations are being formed
and through such associations mem
bers are receiving at least 81 per cwt
more for their hogs, fat cows ant
, sheep. There are numerous shippint
points in the State where these saw
ings amounted to $4,000 or $4,000
last year. Why not organize one il
,, your community? Also so or G.
,, Farmers Elevators are now beinl
financed under the cooperation of tn
State Association. 1t employs it
own architect and contractor and buy
I all the elevator machinery at whole
y sale and thus an elevator can be erect
: ed for from $1,000 to $4,000 less unde
: its plans than if a group Of farmer
y acted on their own initiative.
: The Association is now represente
u in over 60 Missouri counties and
! growing very fast--it being the inten
a tion of the directors to perfect an or
ganization before the present year
!, out in every school district in tn
J State. Farmers who would like t
avail themselves of the above saving
), should write Immediately for Farr
Club address which contains Constitu
! ton and Bylaws. Then all that
y necessary is to call school hous
, meeting and form club. The frs
I years dues are$2.50 and the secon
year $1.50. Nine out of ten farmer
:, can save this amount many times ovel
! If you want to get in on the farr
= seed and Irvine deal there isn't mo
: ment to lose and you should therefor
/ drop a letter to the Missouri Farm
