Much has been said about Coz
operative SHIPPING of farm crops to
market, but this system was put
into actual operation Wednesday
morning, when a carload of lambs
was shipped from Brighton. The load
was made up by the farmers of the
vicinity with the assistance Of
County Agent Hollingsworth.

were r. L. Strong, 4. S, Hindmans

Another car will be shipped wIUnm
the next few days from Mason.
Those shipping in this car are F. E.
Hunt, l.. M. Maclin, A. I. Sanders,
5Arcl1ie Stewart, Ben Rogers, and
I Calvin Murrell (colored.)
Cooperative shipping Of livestock
enables the farmer to place his stock
or produce on the market on the
same terms as the car-lot shipper.
In the case of lambs or other live
stock they are graded and marked,
each shipper having a different mark.
The actual expense of the shipment
is pro rated among the shippers ac-
,cording to the amount Of his part in
THE car.
This is not the first car Of lambs
to be shipped from Upton county, as
one was shipped from Mason last
year. The results Of the shipment
from Mason were very satisfactory.
Cooperative shipment Of produce
and livestock is being urged by all
of the farm agencies and is pointed
out as being the only method of
solving the small farmers problem
