A. S. of e. BUSINESS PLAN


Final approval has been voted by
the state board of the Wisconsin un-
ion of the American Society of Equity
on comprehensive cooperative "bus-
mess plan" This business organiza-
ton, which will be known as the Wis,
consin Farmers Exchange, is declar-
ed by authorities to be the most com
prehensive and far-reaching cooper
alive business plan ever undertaken
by farm organization in the United
States.
The Equity Society was originally
organized to assist farmers in devils
ing ways and means of marketing
their products. so as to give them a
fair and profitable price. No definite
program was worked out, however.
As local unions increased in size and
activity, loosely formed business or
CARNATIONS were formed in commun-
tiles. These often separated from
the society and became independent
units, cooperating in no way with
other local organizations. Under the
proposed plan all these Equity bust
ness units will be co-ordinated and un-
flied under central administrative
department.
Business men among the Equity
farmers came to see that the only
efficient and effective way of conduct
ing cooperative enterprises would be
the federating of all local co-operat-
i've units into central organizations
that would be able to sell products
for the units at the terminal markets.
Under the old scheme each local
business association shipped out it's
products to the terminal markets to
be sold there by selling organizations,
commission men, that were owned and
controlled by the firms and corpora
tions. Several attempts were made
to establish business departments
which would coordinate these local
business units. They were loosely or
ganized, however, and soon drifted
away from the society. One independ-
emit corporation is now known as the
American Cooperative association.
The way the local business units did
business under the old plan was
through its secretary or an appointed
shipper and buyer who collected all
the products from the local union and
sold them. The difficulty in this
scheme was that the farmers were in
| no position to take hand in the sale
| of their products at the terminal mar
kets.
| The first definite move to get the
exchange plan definitely into being
was started on the floor of the state
convention of the Wisconsin union of
the Equity Society last November. E.
D. Stahl of the Bruce Equity exchange
and H. z. Holmes, manager of the
/ Wisconsin Union Business department
| introduced a resolution urging ap-
pointment of committee to draw up
preliminary plans.
The committee drafted the general
plan for federation which was with
some changes approved by the board
meeting.
The plan as now placed before the
$4,000 membership of the Wisconsin
union involves organization of a cen
trail department association for each
major farm crop and produce. Each
association will have two departments
one for buying of raw materials and
the other for the selling of the pro-
duct.

DEATH OF JOHN F. wHITTLE.

"a years, died on Thursday, April %,
of tuberculosis, after confinement of
several weeks.
Deceased served in France as a
soldier of the United States and as a
member of a machine gun company.
While so serving he was shot through
with machine gun bullet, which had
passed through a copy of New Tes-
lament, which was given him by the
home ladies before his departure.
He contracted tuberculosis while in
the army, came back from across the
waters after the armistice and was
discharged from Camp Gordon, July
18th, 1919.
The funeral occurred last Friday
and the remains were inferred at Ne

church, he was said to be a worthy
young man and il is lamentable that
he was victim to patriotic service to
his country.

His reason for that is that if there
are any grass seed on the ground
they are thrown into the same place
as the seed so that there are more
grass seed in the drill and near top
of the ground than any other part of
the field. If furrow is run between
each row this will give drainage. He
says that when he uses the section
harrow he tears out the grass and at
the same time throws in a little dirt
to cover up some of the seed that
have not sprouted. In all of his ideas
about cotton he always fell back on
the one principle of his plan was to
save labor with efficient cultivation.

Last year we showed George Coun-
Gil how to make up a spray mixture
for his peach trees. He informed us
Saturday that he made up again this
year himself and was getting his
pump repaired so that he could apply
it himself soon. He knows that it
paid. The more fruit trees that we
have the more we have for bugs to
live on, hence we should not be sur
prised that there are getting to be
more of these pests each season.

r. F. Stanfill, Reagan, is in no hur-
ry to get his corn planted in the bot

need most. Do you remember the
corn crop of 1918 and also the amount
of early breaking? We have always
believed that firm seed beds have

that large yield.

J. G. Benson says "Yes we section

When hogs consume large amounts of
pastured crops there is a margin for
profit. However. the hogs that run
in a woods lot or dry lot will not
make money. There is no way to do
it. Plan to pasture your hogs and
get the profit. You can do it if 9TH

Arch Weaver, Sardis, says that a
few years ago he secured good re-
suits by planting a field of thin land
in corn and velvet beans. This corn
was harvested and then the cattle
turned in to clean up the beans. He
says that he secured fine winter pas
ture in this way. We urge that you
especially plant the red spots of corn
in this bean. They will make more
feed than the corn stalk alone and
help prevent washes. This is the
cheapest bean that we can buy this
season.

SOUND FOREST POLICY

A Washington farmer asks that a
million Japanese be let into the
country to clear logged-off land. The
land is useless as ii is for farming.
But Is not its real use to grow more
forest material? To replant this
land to trees is the national use for
which 1t should pe employed. Prt-
vate owners. state and federal forest
bureaus. and lumber industries
should unite to reforest these lands.
The denudation of the logged-off
lands would affect water supply and
rainfall land . wise reforestration
policy would save our streams and
municipal water supply. The mil
lion laps to clear logged-off lands
would own most Of the lands BY the
time they were cleared. Reforestra-
ton Is sound policy to prvide ur
country with a timber supply.
