IF our cooperative marketing sys-
tenn were discontinued, 1t would be
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 cooper
alive marketing system Of any prac-
tical value existed.
But once the advantages of market
ing surplus produce comparatively had
been successfully demonstrated coop
erative organizations sprang up every
where throughout the state almost
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 problems pc
culiar to each particular community
needed to be solved. But with firm
belief In the soundness Of the coop
erative principle, these obstacles dis
solved before the whole-hearted efforts
exerted by the members working to-
gether. To the county agents Of Mis-
sissippi is due the credit Of initiating
and developing this work.
With the thought that other farmers
an 90 nf a
methods pursued are here given.
Grading Better Than Marking.
In shipping hogs 1t 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 pack
er sows are graded according to size,
quality and finish. Hogs of any class
that are poor and emaciated are CLASH
fed as skins" Special methods Of
bedding and loading have also been
devised. Similar methods are ap-
piled to cattle and sheep.
For marketing miscellaneous prod
ucts the commodities that the farm
ers have in small quantities are as
sembled In a rented warehouse or va
cant store located at point cOnven-
lent to the railroad.
Corn is shelled before shipping, II
possible, as shelied corn can be graded
with greater accuracy; 1t can be stored
If the market is low, and 1t can be
hauled to town when roads are good
and at convenient time. The corn
Is put up In good, overweight 2h-
bushel bags.
Ear corn is loaded direct from the
farmers wagons into the car. A
weigher examines the corn at the
scales for color, quality and maturity.

HEAD OF STATE POLICE
WILL REMEMBER JUNE 16

1t Is strange coincidence that Ma
jor Robert e. Marsh assumed COM
mand OF the Michigan State Police
Just one year, to a day, after he was
shot and seriously wounded by a
whisky-runner near Crystal Falls. In
June 1919, there was considerable
lawlessness along the Wisconsin Dor
der of the upper peninsula and Capt.
Marsh, then in command of the upper
peninsula troop, was on an inspection
trip with Lieuts. Vandervoort and
High when they encountered two for
eigners with carload of whisky. The
two men we're arrested but one OF
them drew a revolver and wounded
Capt. Marsh In the back of the neck.
Lieut.. vandervoort shot and killed the
prisoner who had done the shooting
and also wounded the other whisky
runner who was attempting to es-
cape.

STABLE FLIES BREED
IN ANY DIRTY PLACE
Certain Farm Practices Favor
Development of Pest.
Custom Of Permitting Manure to Ae-
cumuIate Just Outside of Door
Makes a Very Attractive
Place for Insects.

Certain agricultural practices favor
greatly the development of the stable
fly, according to specialists Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. The fly breeds most commonly
In straw and horse manure or In q
mixture of the two The custom OF
allowing the manure from the horse
stable to accumulate Just outside the
stable doors insures the presence of
stable flies at all times when climatic
conditions are suitable for breeding.
Allowing barnyards, especially around
dairies, to become knee-deep IN
manure is also favorable to the pro-
duction Of flies.
In the grain belt It is the practice
Of farmers to thrash the grain In the
fields by means Of self-stacking thrash
ing machines. The individual stacks
cover much ground and the straw is
loosely piled. In many cases for con-
Vonisnce several stacks are formed in
various parts Of the field. When
thrashing Is followed by heavy sum-
mer and fall rains this loosely piled
straw is certain to form a breeding
place for great numbers Of flies.
The insect occasionally may breed
In broken-up masses of hay or dead
grass. especially when these are per-
meated with liquids from manure. and
corn husks In feeding pens have been
found to barbor the maggots. Manure
piles commonly found near horse
stables are particularly attractive to
the flies in spring for laying eggs.

Cow peas are closely inspected at
the warehouse as to variety, soundness
and freedom from dirt and trash. The
farmers learned that graded peas COM
mand premium prices.
The marketing Of potatoes is begun
In the field. Poor potatoes are culled
out on the farm and the good potatoes
hauled to town under covering Of
cloth or sacks. The potatoes are run
over the grader at the warehouse, sep
arated 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 and third
layers are loaded so as to permit the
freest ventilation.
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 can
died eggs are accepted, which has
caused the farmers to use better meth
DDS Of gathering, storing and carrying
the eggs to town. The eggs are
shipped In new cases with 3h-pound,
or heavier, new filters and flats, and
n6 m 10 cI In nh
case.
Great stress is laid upon the impor-
lance Of keeping accurate records Of
each transaction. In keeping accounts
the following features are emphasized:
Brevity: To save the time Of the
market agent.
Simplicity: For the benefit of the
farmers whose produce is handled.
Completeness: To protect the asso-
citation as a body.
Pleased With Results.
The associated farmers are immense
ly pleased with their accomplishments.
1t has meant more money to them, and
because Of the quality of their prod
