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 a 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 800
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

A certain day is set apart for the

DDS of gathering, storing and carrying

Or heavier, new filters and flats, and
| packed so as to fill the slack in each
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.

1t has meant more money TO them, and
because of the quality of their prod

"If our cooperative marketing sys-
tenn were discontinued, 1t would be a
calamity to the farmers Of this coun-
try" was the recent statement of a
Mississippi farmer-this, in a state
! where only a few years ago no cooper
alive marketing system of any prac-
teal 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 q 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
may find them Of value, some Of the
methods pursued r here given.
Grading Better Than Marking.
In shipping hogs it was found that
the grading method was better than
marking as to ownership. Well-in-
ished barrows and open gifts are
graded according to weight, and pack
err sows are graded according to size,
quality and finish. Hogs of any class
that are poor and emaciated are claSsi-
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 a point conven
lent to the railroad.
Corn is shelled before shipping, Il
possible, as shelled corn can be graded
with greater accuracy; it can be stored
If the market Is low, and 1t can be
hauled to town when roads r goot
and at a convenient time. The corr
is put up in good, overweight 21a
bushel bags.
Ear corn Is loaded direct from the
farmers wagons into the cal. A
weigher examines the corn at the
scales for color, quality and maturity
