$500 Check For Hogs

$500 Check For Hogs
The firm of J. Kasper & Son, far
mers of Medford, Mimi, has just in
vested 1000 in three pure bred pigs.
The junior member of the firm is
Valdimore Kasper, Is years of age.
Valdimore has been a pig club men,
Der for two years and he knows a
good pig when he sees one. So the
senior member of the firm handed
him the company''s check book and
sent him to an auction sale. When
an uncommonly fine looking gilt was
brought into the ring, the boy ran
the bids up to $3.50. Eventually this
pig was knocked down for $1,000,
Valdimore was disappointed, but he
stayed by his guns and outbid his
competitors for three likely looking
gifts and wrote his check for 5000
for the lot, signing it J. Kasper &
Son. "It'ssa good days work and
all in the days business" said the
junior partner as he helped to load
his pigs for the return to the firms
headquarters. Pig club membership
in the boys and girls work of this
state has helped to make young Val
demore self reliant and independent.

Potato Exchange Makes

Money For Co-operators
Frank Robotka of the agricultural
economics division, Minnesota col
lege of agriculture, has been visiting
the central Offices of the Michigan
Potato Growers Exchange at Cadil-
lac, Michigan. In view of the organ
ization of a similar exchange in Min
nesota, the news which he brings
back is of great interest to potato
growers here. Present indications
are, he says, that practically half of
all the potatoes grown in Michigan
in 1919 will be marketed through the
exchange. A report Of the business
transacted for the year closing July
1, 1919 shows that 2118 cars, or ap-
proximately one-fourth of the pota-
toes grown in Michigan in 1918 were
marketed through the exchange the
first year of it's operation, netting
the growers $1,502,751.34. Twenty
one cents per cwt. was received over
and above what would have been paid
without the exchange. Mr.. Robotka
says that much of the success of the
Michigan exchange depends upon its
adherence to two principles: First,
that every grower gets exactly what
his potatoes sell for, less uniform
stipulated fee charged by the ex-
change and the local: and second,
that every grower contracts to mar
ket his crop through the exchange,
so that no outside competitor can get
in and break up tire organization.
