HOW INDEPENDENT ARE YOU?

The X. C. Star, replying to a CORE
spondent, took occasion to vaunt its
independence and rightly so for the
Star usually is dependable paper;
but individuals and newspapers are
all Independent as each for itself
estimates independence. The press
in this country has advanced beyond
the point of obsequious slavery to
party as obtained fifty years ago. As
a rule our daily papers assert editorial
opinion without fear or favor. The
New York Tribune, for instance, is a
partisan newspaper of eminent abil-
ity, but is thoroughly independent in
its comment upon current events. The
New York World is of a different
political bias, but we have observed
with satisfaction that it frequently
asserts itself in direct opposition to
what its friends believe to be the
correct point of view. 1t is too late
to make a slave of conscience in the
realm of Uncle Sam; some dregs,
however, remain. We still have
country papers, as in higher editorial
attitudes where for filthy lucre they
hide their real faith and pose on the
top rail of the fence afraid to jump
either way; but rotten conscience
such as that deceives nobody. Hays
took notice long ago.

COOPERATIVE MARKETING.
Southern Farmers Learning to Profit
by Team Work.

Clemson College. February ia
great growth in cooperative marke'
ing and purchasing has been one Oh
the outstanding results of extension
work in the South. County agents.
assisted by marketing demonstrations
and by instruction and advice, have
aided local and county associations
OF farmers in the cooperative selling
of many kinds of farm produce anu
livestock. and in the cooperative pur-
chasing of a great variety of farm ne
ccssities.
AS an crample ef saving money
through cooperation in buying aad
selling may be mentioned the case OF
a farmers potato exchange in a North
Carolina county which saved its mem
bers between $4,000 and 100000 IN
selling potatoes and buying branded
barrel covers. Another example is
that of farmers in South Carolina
county who saved s22,5oo in the puT-
chase Of commercial fertilizers
through the aid of the county agent.
Farmers haze gained knowledge
of methods and acquired confidence
in their ability to do business on
eo,epatiiye basis. They are begin:
ming to undertake definite business
organizations on countrywide and
even statewide scale for the mar
keting of their main cash crops, such
as cotton. tobacco and peanuts.
Owing to the cooperative WORK III
cotton grading, CHASING, and ping
and information given as to the
market value of the various grades
and Staples By extension workers, it
is estimated that, between sl.ooe,ooo
and s2,eo0,ee0 were saved to the co..
ton farmers of Texas during the year

at looks as if we all went cotton

debts based on costly food and grain
to be paid for by cotton that is now
below cost Of production.

Of food and grain could and should
