Pooling Products Helps Cooperative
Marketing.

The pooling of products sold thru
| cooperative organizations is an i'm
portant feature OF cooperative mar
keting. specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture
have found. BY pooling is meant av-
eraging the returns received for pro-
ducts sold during a certain period, or
for certain shipments, so that each
grower having products of the same
grade receives the same price. The
success of a pooling system depends
upon the observance of uniform grad
ing and packing of the products.
This method of operation, it is
said, protects the individual member
from loss because of unfavorable
market conditions of temporary ma
ture. Some farmers marketing Or
CARNATIONS. especially grain-eleva-
tor companies, purchase the MEM
ber's products outright. Conditions
and practices in grain marketing
make such plan feasible, put orsan-
izations handling other products usu-
ally find it to their advantage to
pool shipments and await returns be-
fore making payments to the growers.
In this way the association is re-
lieved of speculative risks, the avoid
ance Of which is highly desirable.
Cooperative creameries, which pro-
rate to the members monthly, in ac-
cordance with the amount of butter
fat each has delivered the preceding
month. the returns received for pro-
ducts sold less operating expenses, are
good examples of pooling.
The length of the pooling period
varies with the products handled and
the local conditions. Thus there are
car lot, daily, weekly, semimonthly,
monthly, and seasonal pools.

Money From side Lines Minimizes
Crop Failure

Numerous little stories of big
achievement are encountered in 60
ing through the reports to the Unit
ed S.etes Department of Agriculture
from hnmc demonstration agents in
the South In estimating the mon
ey value of the returns reported in
the vatious activities of the clubs 1t
is necessary. Of course, to remember
that aecoun. seldom is taken of the
land value, interest on investment,
board and lodging, and such things,
although credit for labor at the cur
rent rate of pay is set down in most
cases.
However, the value of the achieve
ments rests Upon something more i'm
portant than money-the fine COM
munity effect, the leadership develop
ed, the Improvement in living stand
ards, the general AROUND rise in ag-
ricultural morale. 1t is impossible
not to he deeply impressed by the
work reports of some of these South
ern women and girls, results accom-
plished very often under conditions
of unusual difficulty and discourage
ment.
An example OF what may be ac-
complished under the stimulus of the
home demonstration work and with
encouragement and cooperation in
the home is afforded by the case OF

FOR LIVESTOCK BILL

Washington, May est is likely
that at the present session of Con-
gress will be passed a bill creating q
Federal livestock commissioner in the
Department of agriculture, which
has been reported favorably by
Chairman Norris of the Senate Com
mittee on Agriculture.
OF the meat packers Senator Nor
ris says:
Furthermore, the peculiar circum-
stances under which 1t is operated,
with a multitude of producers on the
one hand and very limited number
of packers and distributors on the
other, lend themselves readily 10
monopoly. 1t was felt, therefore,
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1921-05-27

that the meat-packing industry is
charged with a public interest that
can not be more adequately safeguard
ed than thru special legislation.
THE principal duties imposed on
these agencies by the proposed legis-
lation are:
They are prohibited from engag-
ing in unfair, unjustly discriminatory
or deceptive practices in interstate
commerce;
They are prohibited from buying
or selling live stock in such manner
as to apportion the supply, unreason-
ably affect the price, or create a
monopoly;
"They are prohibited from dealing
in foodstufs other than livestock
products where the result is to lessen
competition;
"They are prohibited from appor-
tioning territory OF purchases or ar
ranging or agreeing to control prices;
They are prohibited from agree
ing or arranging among themselves
to prevent any other person from car
rying on any business which COM
petes with them;
"They are required within two
years after the act becomes effective
to dispose of their ownership OF in
terest in stockyards, unless this time
is extended for good cause"

The ant may be a model of thrift
and industry, but no'hOusekeeper de-
sires this particular model around
her home. The following methods
for exterminating the pest are given
by the Bureau of Entomology, Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture:
The most effective way of Kidding
a house of ants is to find and destroy
the nest by treating it with gasoline
or kerosene. Or, if the nest itself
can not be found, oftentimes the ants
may be traced TO the opening or
crack through which they enter.
Squirting kerosene into it or plug
ging it with cotton saturated with the
oil will in many cases drive them
away.
A temporary expedient for control
ing ants is to moisten small sponges
with sweetened water and place them
where the anst are most numerous.
Attracted by the sugar, they Will
crawl into the sponges and may be
killed by dropping it into boiling
water. The sponges should be bait
ed again with the sweetened water
and, if necessary, set in differnt
placs until the colony leaves the
house.
A more effective, but also more
dangerous, method is TO moisten the
sponges with sirup made by dissolv-
ing 1 pound of sugar in l quart OF
hot water and adding 125 grains
(about IA ounce) of arsenate OF
soda. Some of the ants apparently
carry this poisoned liquid back TO
the nest and feed it to the others
there, thus gradually killing the en-
tire colony. This mixture must be
used with the greatest care, as 1t is
poisonous to both human beings
and domestic animals.
Ants are attracted by various food
substances, especially fats and SUI
CARS; therefore these foods should be
kept in closed containers and crumbs
or small amounts spilled on shelves
or tables cleaned off at once.

New Circular Answers Fertilizer
Questions.

Lexington, Ky, May 25-When
rock and acid phosphate are compar-
ed on unlimed soils the greatest crop
increases are obtained from the use
of rock phosphate while the use Of
lime in connection with the COMPARE
son reverses the results, according to
Circular No. 81, entitled ',Phosphates
for Kentucky Soils" which has just
come off the press at the College OF
Agriculture.
The publication is a comparison
of the different forms of phosphate
which, soil specialists state, is the
fertilizer most needed on soils out
side of the Bluegrass region after
the application Of lime. Rock phos-
phate, the cheapest source OF phOs-
phorous, was compared with acid
phosphate, the most commonly used
of any phosphate fertilizer The
tests were conducted on fields locat-
ed at Greenville, Lone Oak, Mayfield,
Russellville, Berea and Fariston and
involved 40 corn crops, "a soybean
crops, 81 wheat crops and "a clover
crops produced during the three TO
eight years in which the fields were
under experiment. The circular may
be obtained free by writing the EX-
pertinent Station, Lexington.

Lexington, Ky, May 23.-One hun
dred farmers are keeping cost produc-
ton records on tobacco and more
than 25 are keeping similar records
on all farm operations in co-opera-
ton with the College of Agriculture
and the United states Department OF
Agriculture, according to Prof. w. d.
Nichols, head of the Farm Economics
Department. Those keeping tobac-
co records are equally divided be-
tween the Burley and dark tobacco
growing areas. The records will be
used in determining the cost of rails
ing various farm crops.

DehOrned Cattle Easier To Handle
In Feed Lot

Dehorning cattle makes it easier
to handle the animals and insures
that each one will have a more equal
chance at the feed trough. 1t rem
ders the animals less dangerous to
attendants and prevents them from
goring one another in the field lot or
in transit to market. The practice
of dehorniag is almost universal so
far as high grade beef steers are
concerned. 1t is often desirable
to dehorn the heifers as well as the
steers, especially when they are to
be fed in troughs for a part OF the
year.
Calves may be dehorned when a
few days old by treating the undevel-
oped horns with caustic soda or caus-
tic potash, taking care that it does
not wash into the eyes.
If the horns are allowed to develop
it becomes necessary to cut them off.
Clippers made for the purpose may
! used on the younger animals. With
older cattle a saw is best, as it pre-
vents crushing, and the friction of
the blade causes the blood vessels to
clot and heal quickly. The work
should not be done in warm weather,
as the wound may become infested
with screw worms. Where there is
danger of flies, fly repellent should
be applied.
