How Concrete Storehouses Help Farmers to Success

worth anything anyhow-not enough to build good
cribs granaries.
Now the best kind of concrete storehouses are
none too good Permanent storage structures, proof
against rodents and squirrels and rain are going up
more and more everywhere.
~ Hand in hand with the great Importance of pro-
vidng proper storage for grain has come the neces
sity for adequate and safer methods of stor-
ing vegetables. Conservative estimates place the
blame for the loss of onefourth of the potato crop
each year on improper storage. In some other per-
ishable crops the losses even greater The Gel
lar under the house has served for many years
just as the old wooden plow at one time did. Cellars
near or exposed to heat are generally too dry and
the ventilation in any poor entirely lacking.
AS result many farmers are erecting separate
storage for their vegetables-a storage far better
than the home cellar to keep the produce in good
condition through the winter and we'll into the spring

Seattle, which keeps it's finger on the pulse of the
egg marketing situation. Thus the best markets
are found for every car of eggs.
"The growth of the association was very rapid
the past year, the fact that the membership dou
bled between November and December 81 shows"
says J. L. Craib manager of the state association.
"On December 81 there was 1,196 members who had
signed the producers agreement, and between Janu-
ary 1 and March the association gained members
at the rate of 100 per month. At present we have
branch stations at Tacoma, Bellingham, Lynden and
Winlock. They have not only been of great ad-
vantage to the members, but have relieved Seattle
from handling large part of the eggs which usual
ly are shipped in there. In large number of in
same price as if they had shipped to Seattle In
this way they have not only saved transportation
charges, but have also avoided breakage in trans
portaton, usually amounting to good deal. These
branch houses have to extent increased the

cases of eggs. At present we are the
second largest distributors Of eggs in
the United States and our membership
only 300 less than the membership of
the Poultry Producers of Central Cali
fornia, which is reported to be the
largest of it's kind in the United States.
"The average gross selling price Of
eggs of all grades was $16.55 per case
in 1920, or just cent less per case
than in 1919. The members received
in checks an average Of $15.56 per
case and this difference of 80 cents
between the gross selling price and
the amount remitted to the shipper is
accounted for as follows: Fifty cents
per case deducted for the associations
selling charges, Is cents per case for
candling, and about 35 cents for new
and secondhand cases supplied to the
members. The actual expense was
45.9 cents per case, which is about 2
cents less than the handling cost of
1919. Of the total sales, the per.
centage of cost for handling eggs
amounted to % per cent, or a little
less than cents for every dollars
worth of eggs sold.
"You will note from the Financial
statement that the association derived
considerable revenue from several
other departments, and it is the inten-
tion Of the trustees to develop the
dressed poultry and the feed depart
ments to far greater extent than in
1920 At tho nrocont firoo Tho ocso-

CHICKEN FEED BOUGHT
AT LOW WHOLESALE PRICE

The feed business began when the
members pooled their orders for one
car of feed. Then they decided to
carry stock of feed. This led to the
grinding and mixing, and now the as
sociaton does those jobs at a saving
that has made this service more popu-
lar than the marketing or fattening
service. The members buy sack of
feed at the same rate per pound as
ton would cost. Prices ran SIS or $6
under local quotations during April.

in Whatcom county are candled, ship
ments are pooled and are shipped to

ing, and managers needs more room to
handle the average of two cars Of
eggs week from the 100000 hens
represented. There is fattening sta
tion where $4,000 birds can be handled.
At this station 1000 birds are received
daily, fed for 10 days, then sold on the
same pooling basis as eggs. The plant
has a feeding floor, balcony for
dressing and a storage room. It is
located near the creamery owned by
the county dairymen's association, and
a pipe carries buttermilk from the
creamery to the feeding station, for
mixing up mashes.

Of course under such conditions, grain and other

pense you will note that the operating charges per
case were less than in 1919.
'The net gain from operations in 1920 amounted
to $9,123.32, against $4OO106 for 1918. In addi-
tion to this gain the shipping account of the
citation shows gain of over $4,000 up to January
1, 1921. The shipping account includes all eggs
that were shipped on consignment to outside
