Delaware Co. Farm Bureau
Livestock Committee Of Fifteen to
Present Plan November 10th.


At the sixth meeting Of the Farmers
Livestock Marketing Committee OF Fiji
teen in Chicago, Sept. 1928, it was de-
cided to hold the ratification meeting
of the producers representatives in
Chicago, Nov. 10. Invitations are to
be sent out by the president of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
according to recommendations Of the
Committee. The next meeting will be
in Chicago, Oct. IS.
The most important decision reach
ed at the last meeting was that the
national livestock board Of nine d.
rectors, which will oversee the ter
minal companies, will also be charged
with the duty of bringing about an
orderly flow of livestock to market.
Principles OF the OrganizatiOn.Def-
mite principles for the organization
Of the local cooperative livestock ship
ping associations were laid down By
the farmers livestock marketing COM
mittee of fifteen as follows: The aV-
touch with livestock marketing con-
ditions, particularly market quotations
and the various market classes and
grades of livestock to market his
stock to advantage. Through the
agency OF the cooperative Invest >ck
shipping association the individual
farmer is afforded an opportunity at
minimum cost to place his livestock
on the open market and receive for
it what the market will pay for the
grade Of livestock which he has for
sale.
Has Educational Value-The educa-
tional value of this method of live
stock marketing cannot be too strong
~ emphasized. The farmer soon
learns the value of type, quality and
condition in livestock and many have
thus learned to adjust their plans Of
production along lines which will yield
the greatest net profit. The econo-
mic necessity that leads to this Or
ganization Of livestock shipping as
sized by pointing out that large
number of livestock producers, Joined
in an organization acting coopera-
lively rather than individually, are
in position to present more effec-
lively their just claims for adjust
ment, bring about their needed chang
es and improved practices at central
yards and ultimately, as we believe,
make some progress in regulating the
flow of livestock to market.
Points the Way-This plan is pre-
scented with the hope that it points
the way to secure greater uniform
ity in organization and practices
among livestock shipping associa-
tons, by suggesting some underlying
principle which your committee feels
will, II generally adopted, render the
whole shipping association movement
Of greater service to the livestock pro-
Queer.

HOW BETTER THAN PILLS?

The question has been asked-In
what way are Chamberlain's Tablets
superior to the ordinary cathartic and
liver pills? Our answer is, they are
easier and more pleasant to take and
their effect is so gentle that one
hardly realizes that it is produced
by medicine. Then, they not only
move the bowels but improve the
appetite and strengthen the digestion.

IOWA WOOL

A letter from Mr.. Warner, Secre-
tary Of the Iowa Wool Growers. says
that there is still $4,000 pounds Of
low one-fourth from the 1920 clip un-
sold, but the mills are busy again and
the conditions look brighter. On ac-
count Of the open winter there has
been more dark wool this year than
in 1920 because the dust had bet
ter chance to get in. The 1921 wool
pool aggregates 100000 pounds.
