Farmers Find Cooperation
 / Leads to. Better Marketing

Experience has shown that far mers' cooperative marketing associa- tions, organized along sound business lines and with a sufficient volume of business, will offer a regular, depend able service to producers, say special ists of the United States Department of Agriculture. Impossible results must not be expected, but producers, by organizing, can accomplish much that as individuals they could not undertake.
 Cooperative marketing associa- tions can assist in standardizing products, in improving grading and packing, in furnishing storage facili- ties, in gathering and using market and crop information. and in locat- ing new markets. A marketing asso- citation can do much more advertis- ing than single producer could afford and it can buy farm supplies at quantity prices for it's members.

Livestock Survey Starts s Campaign for Purebres

Campaign for Purebrsds A variety of methods are being employed to carry on the better-sires campaign which the United States |, Department of Agriculture has been !: vigorously promoting in all parts of the country. Tn Steuben County, Ind, "a livestock survey was taken as the first step in this campaign. Under the leadership of T. A. Parker, the county agent, the county was par tially organized by sections and re- turns were secured from 500 farms, representing one-half of the total number in the area. AS the reports were made from farms in all parts of the county, the percentages may be taken as an average.
 The figures show that of the bulls kept 27 per cent were purebreds, 33 per cent grades, and 40 per cent scrubs; of the boars kept 26 per cent were purebreds, 30 per cent grades, and A per cent scrubs; and of the rams 42 per cent were purebreds, 36 per cent grades, and 22 per cent scrubs, Twenty-three per cent of the poultry was of pure, breeding,

 While some experience is neces- sary to boil the sap down to sirup and sugar properly, the process is not complicated and may be learned readily. A United States Depart ment of Agriculture bulletin, "Pro- duction of Maple Sirup and Sugar" gives the necessary information, and will be sent free to any person ad- dressing the department at Washing ton.
 A clump of 10 to 15 trees usually will yield enough sirup for family use to make tapping worth while, and in many cases will afford surplus which can be sold at a remunerative price.

Mixed Carloads Advisable ....s .s,~
 Shipments to Small Cities

In very small cities there is little opening for carlot shipments of fruits or vegetables. Shippers of carloads should never consign to such markets unless previous arrange ments have been made with dealer, say, specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. The small cities are easily oversupplied and only at certain times offer an opening for carload of any kind of perishable produce. Often a mixed carload is more salable in such markets than car filled with one kind, The most reliable plan is to

 With these figures at hand the gen. eral livestock association of the

load and ship the car according to requirements previously ascertained from the dealer who handles the sale. It is still better to dispose of the car f. o. b. shipping point. This may be done when the dealer is in need of the supply and when the shipper is able to convince the buyer that his guaranty is good regarding the grade and quality of the produce. Bad Eggs Increase Price of
 Good Ones to Consumer
 In shipment of three cases, or 90 dozen eggs, recently received by a Washington, D. C., commission. firm, .18A. dozen were condemned by the local health department as unfit for food. The percentage of bad eggs shipped into the markets is very high, reducing trade and discouraging consumption, say specialists of the United States Department of Agri- culture.
 If few eggs in the dozen are bad the housewife pays exorbitant prices for the sound ones. The dealer al- ways prefers to handle good eggs, for spoiled ones injure his business repu- tation. A7deduction for spoiled eggs also makes the shipper feel that he is not being treated in good faith by the commission merchant.
 Bad eggs then are loss to every one who handles them. Every egg marketed should be of unquestion- able quality.

PLANNING MARKET OR SALE
DAY FOR VALLEY CITY

At a recent meeting of the Town
Crlers Club, Secretary Moe, who is
also Secretary of the Commercial
Club, stated he was working on the
proposition of putting on a market
or sales day in Valley City some time
during the latter part of September
or the first part of October.
Mr.. Moe stated he was satisfied that
there were many farmers in Barnes
County who had either a horse, COW
calf, sheep, pig, some chickens
turkeys, ducks, geese, grain, veget-
tables or some pieces of machinery
they would like to dispose of also, that
there were farmers in Barnes county
who were in the market for such ami
NAL, fowl, grain or piece of machinery
and that sale day well advertised
SO that every person having something
to sell and every person in the market
would come in, and buyer and seller
would get together to the benefit OF
both.
The stock and larger articles of ma
chlnery, etc., could be sold at auction
The services of good auctioneers could
be obtained and cappers or runners
up would be prohibited.
Such days would be pulled off dur,
ing sales days of the merchants and il
the farmers signify any interest ir
this proposition the work will soor
be started to work out the details re,
lative to the project. Mr.. Moe would
be glad to talk this over with any one
interested and is open for suggestions

The public were out of telephone
service last evening for some time on
account of the local telephone office
being without ringing power for al
most an hour. It seems that the men
were all out trouble shooting around
Oriska during the evening and the
girls not knowing great deal about
the switches were unable to remedy
the matter any. But as they have
always been determined to 60 ahead
with their work, they went to the
switch room and turned on all the
switches they found until they were
delighted to find they had the ring
ing power. There are two sets of
ringing power on this switchboard we
understand, and all they had to do
was switch the power over on to the
ether. But this is easier said than
done and taking girls without much
knowledge Of electricity, they had
quite time before they were able to
locate the trouble. Nevertheless they
fixed it and the public was again able
to use the telephones. When the tele-
phones refuse to work it is very SER
icus matter, because Of the fact that
they are used for almost everything:
from life to- death. 1t seems that a
regular ice. cream freezer hunt per-
tanning to some (Jack) was going on
when the ringing power refused to
work. Was Jack after the freezer?

The sombre shades of evening were
slowly drawing their curtains of dark
ness over hill and field, the crickets
were chirping minor accompaniment
to the evening song of the lark and the
whilfletit, the Valley City golf
grounds were resounding with the soft
laughter of lady golfers, there was an
undertone of cultural rumblings as
male golfers gave their emphatic
opinion of various and sundry goph-
ers, badgers, bunkers, high weeds
and grass and perverted gold balls
all of which furnished setting for
the frantic entry of lanky individual
along the 500 right Said in
dividual was clad in overalls, one leg
of which was rolled up enough to show
an expanse of cotton sock; bis old cap
he held clutched tightly in one hand;
in his eyes was a look of "do-or-die'
determination as he jog-trotted up the
track, finally taking to foot-path up
the bluff in south-easterly direction.
Wonder overcame man and nature
alike at the unwonted spectacle, and
wonder brought silence, as all paused
to consider the mystery of why any
man should run away from Valley
City, and why, of all possible courses,
he should choose the steep and difficult
path up over the hill. But the runner
ran on, and the silence was broken
only by the labored exhaust of the big
engine which was hauling long 500
freight up the grade about half a mile
ahead of the sprinter. The chief of
police was appealed to, and said that
the unhappy mortal had missed the
train at the 500 station, and started
out to overtake it before it got up the
hill. At last accounts he had chased
the freight as far as Enderlin, and was
only three and one-half miles behind
