Builds Reputation for Potatoes.
An example of how cooperative as
sociations are serving as sales depart
ments for farming communities Is
shown in q western Maryland section
where conditions have been found suit
able for the production of seed pota-
toes The farmers in this section re-
allied from the outset that cooperative
action was necessary for growers to
agree on varieties and to work to-
gether on disease prevention and eradi-
cation and other important production
problems. They also realized that effi-
cient sales methods are equally as i'm
portant as productive methods, and
there soon developed In their organiza-
ton sales department through which
their seed potatoes are successfully
marketed. Through this association
the section is building up a reputation
for good seed potatoes, such as could
not be done by growers if they sold
their seed individually.
Fruit growers in a number of the
valleys along the Pacific coast have de-
veloped cooperative marketing asso-
Citations to a high degree. Grain grow
ers in important grain-grOwing sec
tions are successfully handling their
crops in their own elevators. Dairy
men in dairy sections of Wisconsin
and other states are adding to their
profits by organizing creameries and
cheese factories. The marketing OF
early vegetables through cooperation
has reached high development in many
Southern states, and county agents in
all parts of the country are helping
farmers to combine their shipments of
live stock so that carload lots can be
sent to central markets where higher
prices can frequently be obtained than
on the local market.
Suggestions and assistance in con-
nection with organization problems
may be obtained from the bureau of
markets, United States department OF
agriculture, and from the various
state agricultural colleges.

Velvet beans either as green forage

Grazing is probably the most prac-

Alfalfa is very palatable to hogs

The quantity of grain needed to pro-

Hogs are omnivorous animals. but
they are not able to eat sufficient

STATE
CAPT. AL
No Extra. Session.

Governor Harrington will not call
an extra session of the Legislature to
act on the suffrage amendment. He
said he had not been asked to do so
as yet and declined to state the course
he would pursue should he be called
upon by the suffrage leaders, but it is
recalled that, Immediately following
the calling of an extraordinary ses'
sion in June, 1916, to act on war
measures, the Governor stated he
would never again during his term
convene the legislature unless an
emergency arose that demanded such
action and then only if it could not be
avoided.
An extra session is an expensive
proposition for the taxpayers and,
under present conditions, where the
burdens are already onerous, the ex'
ecutive would hardly reverse himself,
especially when the regular session
will be held within seven months.
It will also be recalled that Mary,
land was the only state that refused
to favor the plank in the platform
favoring suffrage at the last Demo
cratic National Convention, held in
st. Louis, SO that the party here is
committed against it. Under the cir,
cumstances, the suffragists could not
expect the Governor, who is a repre-
sentative of that party, to further the
cause, especially when he is averse
to any special session.
1t is understood that request will
be made of executives Of all the states.
and the inference is that Maryland
will be included Democratic leaders
here do not hesitate to state that even
If the General Assembly is convened,
they will oppose the adoption Of the
resolution, but they do not apprehend
any action by the Governor in this di-
rection.
The question may be expected to
be made an issue in the state cam
paign, and no matter whether a plank
is incorporated in the platform or not
the fight will be carried to Annapolis
and a battle royal is certain. The
suffrage leaders will be on the ground
in force, prepared for every emer-
gency.

Every successful manufacturing es-
tablishment has a well-organized sales
department, and many farm commune
ties are organizing cooperative mar
keting associations to act as their sales
departments. The farmer, like the
manufacturer cannot afford to give
attention to production alOUe, but must
see that the marketing of his products
Is handled to best advantage.
The average farmer, however, finds
1t difficult to give attention to mar"
keting necessary to obtain the best re-
suits, because his time is fully occupied
with production problems. Moreover,
the limited production of the average
farm ordinarily prevents the operator
from obtaining the highest efficiency
in the sale of his products. Individu-
ais are handicapped in securing COM
plete market information on account
of the time and expense involved, but
a number of individuals can organize
in a cooperative marketing organiza-
ton and market their products sue
cessfully through the association, say
specialists of the bureau Of markets,

May Employ Manager.
A cooperative marketing association
having a sufficiently large volume of
business is in a position to employ
specialized marketing ability and to
keep informed with respect to market
conditions. The volume of business of
such an organization also makes it
possible to establish careful grading
methods and to sell the products under
brands. Desirable outlets can often be
developed and maintained through CO.
operative effort where individual ac-
ton is Ineffective.
Factors such as these, together with
q realization that marketing problems
in large measure are not merely in
Glividual problems but are difficulties
which confront all the producers in a
community, have led to the establish
ment of cooperative marketing asso-
Citations in many localities. There are
thousands of such organizations sue
cessfully operating among the farm
ers of the United States. They include

80 per cent loss in fruit crops is prob
ably a minimum figure for these two.
A further study of this question has
revealed the fact that in 1A16 the
chinch bug alone was responsible for
a loss of S6O,OOO00O. The grasshop-
per caused a loss of $50,000,OOO and
the Hessian fly was charged with be-
ing responsible for $4O,OOO,OOO slump.
In addition to the direct losses in
growing crops, forests and live stock,
insects are responsible for depreda-
tions on stored grain. other farm prod
ucts and household supplies. All
these have brought the total annual
loss from insects in the United States
up to S1OOO,OOO,OOO.

VIII Ignore Tax Order.

Hagerstown.-Altho the County
Commissioners have levied 2k cents
on the $100 for a new assessment of
property in Washington county dur
ing the present tax year, it is said
the Commissioners will not reassess
the real estate at full value, as they
have been directed to do by the State
Tax Commission, unless they are
forced to do SO.
They claim that if they assess real
estate at it's full value Washington
county will pay more than it's due
share of the State taxes. Holding this
view, the Commissioners have for
years been assessing real estate at
two-thirds of its real value.
It Is said that Washington, Frederick
and Garrett counties are the only ones
in the State that do not assess the
real estate at full value. The State
Tax Commission has directed these
three counties to levy for funds to be
expended in reassessing real estate at
full value.

prepared by the United States Depart

Much has been accomplished by the
American farmer through cooperative
marketing, and organized activities
are gaining rapidly in popularity In
rural communities. While much may
be done through cooperation, it is not
a remedy for all marketing difficulties,
saw cooperative organization men OF
the bureau of markets, United States
department of agriculture. One of the
precautions which must be observed
in the organization of farmers coop
erative marketing associations is thai
the demand for organized effort
should come from those who unite to
form the organization. Another i'm
portant point to be observed is that
the organization should grow from g
strong foundation.
The mistake is frequently made oi
attempting to form Il large central or
ganizat1on before organized effort in
small way has been tried out success

of failure among cooperative organl

should be taken to hold them together
Ordinarily cooperative ASSOCIATION

the territory included is too large, the

One of the principal obstacles tt
successful cooperation is the selfish
