StolSley Plant, to study it and devel-
opnrent, and see what 0 family of en-
ergetic, ambitious boys can do and
have done. They begun in a
small way, and have demonstrated to
the farmers how they can double their
net profits on their work. They have
simply employed business methods in
their farm operations, by preparing
their own and the products of their
neighbors for the market in a shape
that is ready for the consumer.
One of the explanations of the small
profit of the average farmer is the
fact that his product in many in
stances is dumped on the market
without any preparation for the i'm
mediate needs of the consumer. The
manufacturer develops the marketing
or distribution feature of his business
as carefully as the production end.
When farmers learn to do this they
will find success awaiting them. They
will seldom succeed otherwise.

TALK TO FARMERS
By. 7. F. Peck.
MARKETING TO BEST ADvAN-
TAGE.

LAVE.
When they analize conditions con-
fronting them at the present time,
farmers realize that they must adjust
themselves and their work to conform
to them. They see that they cannot
continue to dump their products on
the market in a haphazard way and
realize living profit from their
work.
We know that we must have quail
ity, quantity and variety if we are to
get the best prices. 1t is hard for the
individual farmer to have the quanti-
ty, but all can be had by community
cooperative effort.
The problem that must be solved is
how to secure that cooperative eff
fort. Farmers as a rule seem less in
clined to community cooperative eff
fort than other classes, but they are
rapidly coming to be convinced that
such cooperation is the most practi-
cal solution of their problem
| was in Newport, Cooke County,
few weeks ago, and had an opportun-
ity to inspect the canning plant of
Stokley Brothers at that place, and
to learn something of the history OF
its development Their plant now COW
ers several acres, and is modern in ev-
every respect. They pack all products
of the farm that can be preserved IN
that way. They manufacture their
own cans and their shipping boxes
and crates. They have their own heat
ing, lighting and water systems and
own power plant. Their office build
ing, separate from the plant buildings
is n model of convenience. During
the shipping season several cars of
canned goods are loaded and shipped
daily.
was curious to know how such a
big business was developed. W. B.
Stoklcy told me that when they re-
turned to the farm from college,
they decided that their margin of
profit on their crops, if grown and
marketed in the usual way, would be
small. They decided that would try
to get closer to the consumer with
their products and to do so the prod
ucts should be more thoroughly pre-
pared for the consumer. So the first
year they put in small plant and put
up 5000 cans of tomatoes. Each
year they have been increasing their
capacity in the variety of products
canned, until now they can supply
anything that can be grown on the
farms and packed.
At first they grew on their farms
everything they canned. but their
business developed so rapidly that
are now furnishing a fine market for
the product of the farmers in large
territory, and giving employment to
all the available labor in the neigh
borhood. They produce large num-
Der of live stock and sell the livestock
for their neighbors.
The business of the Stokley Broth
ers furnishes a fine object lesson and
a reasonable plan for community CO.
operative effort. They have made
money from the start and have de-
velouped a good local market for their
entire section. Their success proves
that a community organization could
be formed to manufacture the prod
nets of the community, or some pro-
gressive farmer could take the initia-
tive and provide the market, with
profit to himself ard the whole COM

Why Some Students Fail

The reason why some students
fail is the same reason why some
businesses fail, and can be traced
usually to lack of purpose. Pro-
prietors of some businesses too often
conduct them 500 as to just get by.
They make no plans for the future,
and therefore have no definite aim.
and meet the inevitable. If you go
to school with definite purpose to
be something, to do something, and
bring to your daily task some earn-
est preparation, you will carry away
with you all that you seek and more.
If you aim merely to get by. you
may succeed for while, but the
ultimate reconning is not far off, and
the piper will be paid. Get busy, and
keep busy, is the watchword of sue
cess. This applies to school wori; as
well as to everything else.
