COOPERATIVE MARKETING.

In a signed editorial Frank Knox Of
the Manchester Union takes strong
stand for cooperative marketing as the
only way to rescue the farming business
of the country. He points to the New
England Milk producers association as
a pattern for farmers to follow in the
marketing of all their products. OF this
organization he says:
Instead of the milk producers taking
what the middleman in Boston, or else
where DleaSes to vOuchsafe him, and re-
cpiving net price for milk that lett
him facing bankruptcy, and drove many
hundreds of New Hampshire farmers out
of the milk producing business alto
gcther. he now handles his own product
through the Milk Producers association,
and sells where his product commands
the best price, and manufactures in his
own behalf. into butter and cheese, the
excess which formerly he was paid for at
q rate which was nothing less than rum
Gus.
Through cooperative marketing Mr.
Knox believes the farmer might be
brought into close touch with the hom"
market whereby useless hauls to dis
tributing centers might be avoided, the
purchasers Of farm products kept in
formed of satisfactory sources of sup
ply with a minimum of transportation
expense. the farmer assured a price that
will make farming profitable and, by the
elimination of useless middlemen. the
cost to the ultimate consumer kept at
q reasonable level.
That is a glowing prediction of what
cooperation might accomplish. 1t would
be interesting if the reports of co-opera-
ton among the farmers of the West,
read at the meeting of the National
Grange. could be made public. Those
reports, we understand, tell what has
actually been accomplished through CO.
operative efforts and nothing else would
convince the farmer more than state
ment of the plain facts.
1t would be too much to expect that
cooperation would make all farmers
rich. That is as impossible as it is to
make all Iaborers rich through labor or
CARNATIONS or all paupers comfortable
through charity. Some farmers could
not get rich under Guy conditions. 1t
does seem, however, as if the formation
Of selling organizations controlled by the
producers themselves might bring to the
American farmer proper compensation
for the service he renders the consuming
public.

trAst." Written by Royal Tyler. Ear.
" Chief Justice OF Vermont.
James Il. Wilbur Of Manchester
who last summer presented statue OF
I'm Allen 70 the University o. Yer,
nolt has once more shown his interest
IN Vermont and Vermonters This
tirne he has acted as the sponsor for
printing an edition Of the first comedy
written by an American and produced
IN an American theatre by a company
Of professional actors. The part that
n interesting TO Vermonters isthat the
play. "The Contrast" five-act COM
sdy, was written BY Royal Tyler, a
native Of Brattleboro, and one Of the
earliest chief justices Of the Vermont
aspreme Court. He was also one of
the nrst trustees Of the University OF
Vermont, which had but recently been
established by Ira Allen at Burlington.
"The Contrast was first performed
IN the John street theatre in New
York city, April l6. 1881 II was re-
peated several times in New York and
later showed in Philadelphia, Will
nington and Baltimore. a really re
narkable record for that time. II was
even revived in New York in 1889.
However, that play was never publish
cd but was printed for subscribers in
1890.
Mr.. Wilbur tells Of the long search
for the play by l.. f. Chittenden and
Of the discovery that the first sub
scriber was "The President Of the
United States" Later, George Wash
fngton's own copy was found, and il is
from this copy that Mr. Wilbur's edi-
ton is being printed. Mr.. Wilbur says
that "he is now editing the book for
the pleasure that IL gives him and the
nope that others may share il with
him"
Miss Helen Tyler Brown has con-
tributed an introduction for the play,
which gives a complete picture Of the
authors life and the circumstances
surrounding the writing Of the play.
Only two hundred and fifty number
ed copies Of the Wilbur edition viii be
printed and as soon as the work is
finished the plates will be destroyed.
Everything surrounding the present
work IL 10 be done according TO the
period that the play was written IN.
and even the cover Of the book will
be an exact reproduction Of the cover
which appeared on the copy owned By
