Growers Association. has recently
been formed for the purpose OF aid
ing the production and marketing Of
certified seed potatoes Of high qua
lity. The plan Of organization is
based largely on a similar organiza-
ion OF farmers in Clay County, Mime
sofa, but 1t has certain differences
that make it a unique organization.
The organization is composed only
OF members Of the Farm Bureau Of
Polk County. or. in other words,
every member OF the Potato Associa-
ton must be farm bureau member.
The County Agent is the manager OF
the Potato Association; this avoids
the expense OF a high-priced manager
but lays new and heavy duties on the
County Agent--and thru him on the
Farm Bureau. As pay for the special
service, each grower pays a levy OF
not to exceed p cents per bushel on
all certified potatoes sold, the extent
Of the levy to be determined by the
officers OF the Seed Association, and
this levy is paid into the treasury of
the Farm Bureau. Thus, as the de-
mands on the Farm Bureau grow be-
yond the present ability OF the Farm
Bureau to handle 1t. additional help
may be employed. and additional in
come will be available to carry the
financial burden.
The work of the Association will
be, first. to assist in the production
Of high class certified seed potatoes,
and second. to aid in securing a mar
ket for these potatoes. Both Of these
aims are exactly in line with the
work which the Farm Bureau is do
ing anyhow, and the only difference
will be an intensified assistance to
the members OF the association. for
which the members will pay in the
proportion that assistance is received
Assistance in production will be
given by means OF demonstration
seed plots, to show how to eliminate
diseased and Objectionable plants,
and otherwise handle the field to en-
able it to pass inspection for certi-
fication, and where necessary addi-
tional assistance will be given in
roguing fields as required by the in
spectors. In marketing, the associa-
tion will not handle this directly
but will secure orders and turn them
over to growers to fill. Advertising
correspondence. and other means will
be used to bring these orders to the
county in sufficient numbers: nor
will the county Agent-acting also
as manager of the Potato Association
heed to take orders away from 9TH
er growers. not members OF the Asso-
citation, for the very simple reason
that practically all growers of Ger
tilted seed in the county will he
members Of the association Alread,
there are so growers. from clever
different parts of the county, in the
organization. and the great interest
taken indicates that it will develor
into very popular association.

The Turpville Farmers Club. 8

ing on the evening OF June 3rd. Mr..
Ludwig Mosbak. president OF the
Minnesota Potato Exchange. and Mr..
j. NJ. Vesterbye. representing the
Farmers Cooperative Potato En-
change OF st. Paul Equity were
invited to discuss the two different
methods Of cooperative marketing Of
potatoes and other farm produce.
MIR. Mosbak explaine the plan OF
the Minnesota Potato Exchange-the
farmers joining in local assoc ions.
and these In turn forming the State
Exchange. all for the purpose of col

duce is bought, neither from MEM
bers nor non-members. and nothing
is sold for non-members. The whole
problem Is simplified tn collecting
and selling for members. these re-
ceiving the money returns less stipu-
lated expenses.
Mr.. Vesterbye critisized this plan.
contcnding IL To be much better that
the association bought for cash from
members and non-members alike.
and then sold. just like any private
or company buyer. He claimed that
he was u Dane. but had never heard
of cooperative marketing to be sue
cess on the basis which Mr.. Mosbak
recommended. Furthermore he
charged that the Minnesota Potato
Exchange had lined up with the
North American Fruit Exchange.
This Mr.. Mosbek forthwith denied
while his opponent stuck to his
postulate: We'll you have. and you
KNOW you nave.
MIR. MosbPk again denied, and
then he referred to several coopera-
tive institutions in Denmark. such
as cooperative creameries, packing
houses-also To the Michigan Potato
Exchange. Cadillac. Mich. the Maine
Potato Growers ENchange and the
California Fruit Growers. the latter
having marketed their fruit on that
basis ever since 1898.
| Mr. Vesterbye failed to state a
single instance where Equity or any
other cooperative marketing institu-
tion had made a continuous success
on the basis Of buying their own and
others produce for spot cash. Mr.
Moshak stated further, to illustrate
his point. that he had overheard the
equity buyer OF potatoes and produce
offer farmer IN their store. last
winter. Si5 for ton of rutaba gas.

INSISTED ON HAVING CANDY
Liberal Supply of carameIs Necessary
to Make Horse Pose for Statue
of Lafayette.

Horses can be temperamental at
times, as Paul w. Bartlett, the sculp-
tor, found when he sought to induce a
high-spirited animal to pose quietly
in his West Fourth street studio, the
New York Evening Sun says. The
sculptor is now working on the statue
of Lafayette, which Is to be presented
to the city of Metz in France by the
Knights of Columbus.
An aristocratic as we'll as an artis-
tic horse was needed for reproduction
as Lafayette's mount. After some
searching, Mr.. Bartlett got in touch
with the proper animal and invited
him down to the studio. Part of the
door and side of the building were re-
moved to get the horse into the
studio and when inside he promptly
knocked over several plaster casts of
considerable value, especially to the
artist.
After preliminary experiment Mr..
Bartlett was delighted to find that TN
der the soothing spell of the caramel
the wonderfully lined animal would
stand contentedly chewing for long
periods while the willy sculptor trans
formed him into a statue. SO to speak.

DAY SET APART FOR FOOLING
Practical Jokes Ccmmon to April 1
Have Been INDUCED in for Many
Generations.

There is much uncertainty respect
ing the origin of All Fools day, April
l. when for generations the people of
many lands have held it quite per-
missible to play practical jokes on one
another Some think 1t had it's origin
in a miracle play of the middle ages,
performed at Easter time. The Gus
tom Of sending one upon a bootless
errand on the first day of April has
been supposed to be a travesty on the
sending hither and thither of the
Savior from Annas to Caiaphas, from
Caiaphas to PLATE, from PLATE to
Herod, and from Herod to PLATE, for
these scenes in the Savior's life
formed the subject Of the miracle play
performed at Easter, which usually oc-
ours in the month Of April. Others
think it more probable that it is a
relic of some old. heather Celtic fes-
tival. 1t is believed that both Eng
land and Germany derived the custom
from France. In France one thus i'm
posed upon is called "un poisson
dArvil" Gan April fish,. In England
such person is called IAN April fool"
in Scotland a gowk. Gowk is the
Scotch for cuckoo, and also signifies
foolish person.

of the West Indies retained by France
in the desperate fighting for their pos

have been prompted to term Mar
Unique an ideal paradise. 1t Is a lotus

MESSAGES to Mars.

DR.. Charles p. Steinmetz estimates
that wireless station for the trans
mission Of signals to Mars would cost
in the neighborhood of a billion dol
lars, rather more than any enthusiast
would be willing to spend on the re-
mote chance of establishing such COM
munications.
The Sperryscope (Brooklyn) sug-
gests that transmission of signals by
light is entirely practicable. 1t
says:
"Presupposing that the Martians
possess telescopes which are at least
half as powerful as our own, our es-
innate is that some $50 or 200 of the
Sperry high intensity searchlights,
each over billion candlepower, would
be sufficient for this purpose. If op.
Grated together they would appear as
star of the seventh magnitude to
the inhabitants of Mars, and light Of
such brilliance would, of course, be
easily discernible through telescope
in clear weather."
