COOPERATIVE HOUSES
ON BUSINESS LINES
Quite Necessary to Secure the
Greatest Results.
Experts of Bureau Of Markets Cite
Two Instances to Substantiate AS
sertion That Each Member
Must Be on Equal Footing

| To secure the greatest results, co
operative marketing enterprises must
be organized and operated along sound
business lines, say experts Of the bu-
reau of markets, United States depart
ment of agriculture, who cite two in
| stances to prove their point.
A sweet potato cooperative market
ing association was formed in a New
Mexico county that boaSted of seven
sweet potato warehouses. Six of these
warehouses were ignored in organizing
the association. The owner of the
seventh warehouse was permitted to
hold 81 per cent of the stock. With
such monopoly, this gentleman was
able to control the business of the as
ISOLATION, with the result that all the
sweet potatoes were stored in his
warehouse, and the other warehouse
men faced the threat of being driven
out of business. However, the sew
enth warehouse owner was finally
made to see the error of his ways
and through the assistance of the field
department of agriculture the asso-
citation has been reorganized upon
truly cooperative basis.
In the adjoining county were two
men who had made a considerable for
tune in sweet potatoes, largely through
their ability to store their potatoes in
their own warehouses. The other
sweet potato growers were able barely
to exc out a small profit, because they
were compelled to sell their produce
Immediately. The two warehousemen
finally were prevailed upon to interest
themselves in the formation of a CO.
operative association. The association
was thereby enabled to negotiate a
loan from the bank for the construc-
ton Of a warehouse to take care Of
the pooled produce. This was such
an encouragement to the farmers that
1t was soon necessary to construct an
other building because Of a consider
able increase In crops.
i. The two leading sweet potato men
in this association did not hold a ma
Jority of the stock. The organization
is cooperative one in the full mean
ing Of the word. Each member is on
an equal footing with every other
member. At a recent meeting of the
association it was announced that
through the combined efforts of the
farmers $4,000 in additional profits
has been secured, with all the seed
sweet potatoes yet to be sold.

Oldest of Cathedrais.

The cathedral of Echmiadzin, Ar
menia, begun in 301 A. D., the year
the Armenian nation officially en-
braced Christianity and became the
first Christian nation in pagan world,
is the Oldest church in Christendom.
1t is rich in the memories of II cen.
turtles of Armenians who have wor.
SHIPPED there, and has many rare mo-
sales and quaint chapels. It differs
much from cathedrals in the occident-
al world. 1T is in this church that
each Catholics, or head Of the Georgi-
an religion, is consecrated after cleo.

and it is sometimes a year before the
ballots arrive from the seven seas.
The new head is usually one who has
been closely associated with the de-

FEDERAL STANDARDS
PREVENT INEQUALITY
Cause of Considerable Dissatis-
faction Removed.
With Passing of Misapprehensions In
creasing Sentiment Being Mani
tested in Favor of Purchase
and Sale by Grade.

misunderstanding as to the applica-
ton of the federal grain standards and
as to the benefits to be derived from
the sale of grain upon grade basis
have been the cause of considerable
dissatisfaction among producers and
country elevator operators, but with
the passing of these misapprehensions
an ever-increasing sentiment is being
manifested in favor of the purchase
and sale by grade at country points.
The old system Of basing the price
at which wheat or other grain was
bought from the farmer upon the aver
age quality of the crop in any cOmmu-
nifty or section was totally unfair to
the producer of good grain. Under the
"mine-run" basis of purchasing grain
the producer of good grain received
no more For his clean, heavy wheat
than did the producer of light weight
and otherwise inferior grain. Instead
of premium upon heavy grain, pre-
MUM was paid upon inferior products.
The application of federal grain
standards is calculated to prevent such
inequality, and as experience is being
had under the grading system growers
are finding that the purpose sought Is
being accomplished.

Strive ALWAYS for Ideal.

There's satisfaction in knowing
you have something worth while to live
by. 1t just naturally stiffens your
backbone and gives clearness to your
vision. Why, the very idea makes you
stronger and you want to try yourself
in things that really count. The re-
suits may seldom be to your taste. but
they are infinitely above the taste Of
others. It's the loftiness Of the ideal
that leads you to see them as ordinary.
That means you will not be satisfied.
Won will want something better to rep
resent you. SO you will strive to offer
the world a better product.

With shortage Of farm labor, as
year of 1913, threatening a curtallment
of food production on the farms, espe-
cially at the trying season of harvest
ing, the United States department OF
agriculture is endeavOring to stir up
the interest of city men in spending
their vacations in the fields, particu-
larly as harvest helpers.
Everyone remembers the now famous
"shock troops" of the war years, who
went into the harvest fields of Kansas
and other large wheat-producinS states
and lent hand at gathering in the
nations bread supply. They included
men in many walks of life-college
students and city men, including bank
ers, lawyers, doctors. clerks and state
and city officials. These veterans, to-
gether with other volunteers to swell
the ranks, are urged to mobilize again
this year to help relieve the present
shortage and so aid in combating high
costs of food products.
nCIOCIC Gu SCOu SCINtSS III ~ 10.
In making this appeal it is recog-
nized that. at the outset at least, such
labor is not as efficient as experienced
farm labor, but the excellent results
secured in 1918, when city men in
large numbers came to the aid Of the
farmers leave no doubt as to the sue
cess of the present canvass If the
men respond.
The present labor shortage has
arisen in spite of the fact that farm
wages are Is to 25 per cent higher
than last year. The situation, unreme
died, cannot fail to have an unfavor-
able effect on production, according
to observers Of the department, who
are watching the condition closely. 1t

Average Yield of Honey.

The average yield of surplus honey
in 1919 was 80 pounds to the colony
Of honey bees, as estimated by the
bureau of crop estimates, United
States department of agriculture. This
is considerably above the average OF
45 pounds in 1918, and Of Al and six.
tenths pounds for the five years 1913
to 1917. The relative proportions in
which the honey of the last two years
was marketed are indicated by SO for
extracted honey, 81 for comb honey
and ten for bulk honey. About one
third Of the product goes to Outside"
markets.

VIII tend they say, to prevent any re-
Guctlon IN the prices Of farm products.
While the total acreage undoubtedly
mas been reduced as a result of the
present situation, it is not in so large
proportion as the reduction in the
labor supply, because the farmers with
their families eXerted themselves to
the utmost to overcome the handicap.
Cultivation this year was less inten-

Grain States Need Help.
From many of the harvest centers
are coming appeals for help. In some

well met. Harvesting and thrashing,
however, means more help, and it is
this that the farmers in these areas
