The corn is put up in good, even

Ear corn is loaded direct from the
farmers wagons into the car. \
Weigher examines the corn at the
scales for color, quality, and maturity
Cow peas are closely inspected at
the warehouse as to variety, sound
ness, ana freedom from dirt and
trash. The farmers learned that
graded peas command premium
prices.
The marketing of potatoes is begun
in the field. Poor potatoes are culled
out on the farm and the good pota-
toes hauled to town under a covering
of cloth or sacks. The potatoes are
run over the grader at the warehouse,
separated into standard grades, and
sacked in new 100-pound bags. Ven
tilated or stock cars are used to ship
the potatoes and the sacks stacked
on end in rows ranging the length OF
the car. Each car holds from 400 to
500 bushels. The first, second third

Poultry is carefully classified and
shipped in regular express cars made
for the purpose. The minimum load
is 5000 pounds and the maximum
load $1,000 pounds. The poultry is
sold for cash at the loading station.
A certain day is set apart for the
shipment of eggs. Nothing but
candled eggs are accepted, which has
caused the farmer to use better meth
DDS of gathering, storing, and carry
ing the eggs to town. The eggs are
shipped in new cases with 3A pound,
or heavier, new filters and fats, and
packed so as to fill the slack in each
case.
Great stress is laid upon the i'm
portance of keeping accurate records
of each transaction. In keeping &C
counts the following features are enl-
phasized:
Brevty: To save the time of the
market agent.
Simplicity: For the benefit of the
farmers whose produce is handled.
Completeness: To protect the as

FARMERS FIND COOPERATIVE
MARKETING INDISPENSABLE
Merits of Method Quickly Seen Il,
Those Who Give 1t a Trial-COn-
fidence of Buyers and Better Prices
Among Results Obtained.

IF our cooperative marketing sys-
tenn were discontinued, it would be a
calamity to the farmers of this coun.
try was the recent statement of a
Mississippi farmer-this, in state
where only few years ago no CO.
operative marketing system of any
practical value existed.
But once the. advantage of mar
keting surplus produce comparatively
had been successfully demonstrated
cooperative organizations sprang I'D
everywhere throughout the State al
most overnight.
True, many of them were formed
hastily; and the farmers soon learned
that the success of a cooperative en-
terprise depended upon something
more than the mere willingness of
Bill Smith and John Brown to pool
their produce. Efficient business
methods had to be devised, and prob
lens peculiar to each particular CON-
munity needed to be solved. But
with a firm belief in the soundness
of the cooperative principle, these
obstacles dissolved before the whole
hearted efforts exerted by the mem-
bers working together. To the county
agents of Mississippi is due the credit
of initiating and developing this work.
With the thought that other far
mers may find them of value, some
Of the methods pursued are here
given.
In shipping hogs it was found that
the grading method was better than
marking as to ownership. Well-fin-
ished barrows and open gifts are
graded according to weight. and
packer sows are graded according to
size, quality, and finish. Hogs q
any class that are very poor and
emaciated are classified as skins
Special methods of feeding and load
ing have also been devised. Simila!
methods are applied to cattle ant
sheep.
For marketing miscellaneous pro
ducts the commodities that the farm
ers have in small quantities are as
sembled in q rented warehouse Of
vacant store located at q point con-
venient to the railroad.
Corn is shelled before shipping, Il
possible, as shelled corn can be
graded with greater accuracy; it car

Pacific Sports

The Pacific Coast swimming trials

be the most representative meet Of
Coast swimmers ever held. Besides
being the trials for the American team
the meet will! a.so decide the Far
Western champ .onships. Seattle.
Portland. Oakland. Los Angeles, San
Diego, Honolulu and San Francisco
are all represented. these cities cover
ing four branches of the Amateur
Athletic Union contesting for the

A notable fact in the entries is the
number OF high class women swim
mers who have entered the events.
No less than three women national
diving champions are out for the
honors. These include Thelma Payne
of Portland, recent champion. Con-
STAGE Dressler also of Portlond and
Aileen Allen of Los Angles, both for
mer national champions. A girl who
has shown remarkable ability in free
style events at Seattle named Mrs.
Alfred Wagstag will compete for the
first time against recognized swim
mers of national repute in Frances
Cowells Schroth of San Francisco.
Thelma Finn the Los Angeles phenom.
Helen Moses the Hawaiian champion
and other stars. The women's races
promise exceptional competition with
such speed mermaids.
Seattle is putting in Nitric Konowa-
loft in the middle distance mems
events and the way he has been per.
forming in the Northwest predicts a
good showing for this man at the
Neptune events. San Diego has en-
tered two good distance swimmers in
