COOPERATION THAT
SPELLS SUCCESS
BY Haryie Jordan, National Campaign
Director of the American Cot.
ton Association

1t is particularly gratifying to note
that a perfect spirit Of harmony exists
between the two leading agricultural
organizations of the South.
The Farmers Educational and Co,
operative Union met in Annual Con-
yention at Memphis, Tennessee, Nov
ember 10Th, with several hundred dele
gates persent from all parts OF the
United States. and especially from the
cotton producing States. The report OF
the cotton committee Of the Union,
which was unanimusly endorsed by the
convention, recommended the endorse
mpnt of the American Cotton Assocla-
ton; safe farming through dlverSlfca
ton of crops; bonded warehouses Tor
storing cotton; an economic system OF
sampling, grading and marketing cot
ton, and the adoption of gin compress
sion for lessening heavy freight rates
on cotton, saving waste, and lessenlng
storage space in warehouses and i'll
transit This action on the part OF the
Farmers Union, pledging cooperation
with the efforts of the American Cot
ron Association now being so actively
messed forward in all the Cotton
STATES will be tremendous aid in solv'
ing the many economic problems OF the
cotton growers.
The Farmers Union has rendered the
farmers of the Cotton States splendlt
service during its past twenty years
of activities and that service will De
greater as-the Union goes forward In
the future. Many of the Leading OF.
ticials of the Farmers Union in the
various Cotton States are prominent
and active officials in the work or the
American Cotton Association. While

the Association throughout the length
and breadth of the Cotton Belt. There

THE HIGH COST OF
HOG CHOLERA

The following extract from Farmers
Bulletin No. S24 should be of interest
TO the farmers who are interested in
growing hogs. j. A. ANDERS,
County Agent.
Hog cholera destroys about 30 per
cent of all hogs that die from disease
in the United States The losses nave
amounted 10 between 6,OOO,OOO and
100000 hogs in one year, and the
money loss probably has averaged more
than $30OOO,0OO year for the last III
years.
The Federal Government and the
State authorities aim at the ultimate
eradication Of the disease. At present
the object is TO bring it under strict
control 50 as to reduce losses to the
minimum
Cooperation by farmers with each
other and with the Federal Govern
ment and State authorities is essential
to success.
The infection is carried easily from
one place to another in a great variety
of ways, Hence the need Of care and
cooperation by all concerned.
Sanitation, diSinfcctiOn, and a self
imposed quarantine are important
when the disease is in the neighbOr-
hood.
Prevention is better than cure. In
fact there is no specific cure. Social
ed hog cholera medicines are snare
and q deluSiOn. The Bureau Of Animal
Industry for many years has made a
study Of the disease and finally evolved
the Og-Cholera serum" which
can be regarded as the only reliable
preventive agent. 1t is the only agent
which has been proved to have curative
properties. This serum is now manu-
featured by several State institutions
and by private firms licensed by the
Secretary Of Agriculture for the pur-
pose. The use of the serum is describ-
ed fully herein, including treatment Of
herds, brood Sows, young pigs, etc.
Confine sick hogs.
Use serum.
Employ sanitary measures.
Disinfect.
Cooperate.

A Super-reflned Metal.
The product is a very pure steel
made by a new process which Is
cross between an electric furnace and
a cream separator
The melted metal, instead OF being
cast In sand moulds, Is whirled rapid
ly In tube. This makes cylinder of
steel with the impurities thrown out
by centrifugal differences.
It's advantages are simplicity of
manufacture, small equipment needed,
and the fact that about ninety per cent
of the steel is in the commercial
product, while under older methods
about forty per cent is lost In drawing
it off into pigs.
Forging Steel Around a Hole.
In making the thousand and one
articles of hollow steel, the advantage
OF making the hole with the steel is
obvious. For instance in making
guns, only a small percentage OF the
original solid casting is ultimately
used. while by the Keokuk process, the
original piece of metal is nearly right
when 1t comes from the Keokuk fur
mace.
But chiefly, the metal made here
will be super-reffned centrifugally and
partly forged, az its molecular struc-
ture shows under the microscope Ike

and machinery parts to be made from
