of Middleman by Direct
Selling.

According to a high official Of the
Indiana Federation of Farmers as
sociations, the cooperative market
ing OF milk by farmers throughout

product in favor Of the consumer
about three cents a quart
The organization IS ready TO start
operations in indianapolis, il is de-
clared. and will spread 10 other mar
keting centers Of the state without
delay. 1t is held that the system will
enable farmers to obtain more for
their milk by squeezing out of bust
ness the middleman witch Will per
NIT the public to obtain the product
at lower price.
Reports from several cities OF the
state and Michigan say that the pro-
position has already been put into
practice with success by Farmers
organizations. In several places il
has been found consumers have grasp
ed the opportunity 10 buy direct
from the organizations which invari-
ably offer product of which will

OUTDOOR STORAGE
FOR TUBERS URGED
County Growers Say Method
Preserves Potatoes for
Months

Farmers of this district are prac-
tically unanimous in recommending
an outside pit for the storage OF
seed potatoes, which may be easily
constructed in the yard or garden.
Growers who have used this method
say seed tubers may be kept as late
as May Is, with scarcely any loss.
This plan of constructing a pit has
ben found well adapted 10 local pur-
poses:
Select a we'll drained portion Of the
garden or field, dig a hole four in
ches deep and about five feet wide
and as long as necessary. remember
ing that the potatoes should not be
piled higher than four feet deep.
Line the bottom with a thin coat of
straw Nail three four-inch boards
loosely together so as to form a tri-
angular shaft and set this or the
straw in the middle of the dug
out" Place the potatoes on the
straw around the shaft so that they
form a triangular pile.
Cover Potatoes.
w men al the pOldlOeS are pldC-
ed in the pile. they should be cover
ed with a 12-inch layer of dry straw
or grass, then a 12-inch layer OF
dirt. As the weather becomes cool
er. an additional layer OF IL inches
of straw and IL inches of dirt should
be added. After the outer layer OF
dirt has become firmly frozen, a
two foot layer OF straw or manure
must be added. This keeps the soil
under IL frozen and thus the temper
ature ia held even until late spring
which also prevents freezing Of the
potatoes or vegetables.
As freezing weather approaches.
the ventilator should be plugged with
straw or rags to prevent freezing.
Before the manure Is placed on Il.
the ventilators should be sawed off
even with the ground and covered
with the manure OF straw covering.

gate the plan. This work has been
finished and the report will recon-
mend the immediate formation OF
a marketing organization.
Reviewing conditions which a
complete survey disclosed. the com
miJtee among other things in It's re-
port says:
The COMMITTEES early found that
the problems in connection with live
stock marketing which the commit
tee would be obliged TO consider in
volved cooperative marketing. or
derby marketing, livestock produc-
ton and marketing information.
transportation and financing.
The need for A national livestock
organization representative Of a very
large number OF the rank and file
livestock producers in an parts OF
the United States has long been felt.
such an association. properly financ-
cd. and directed should be able to
represent wisely and with authority
livestock producers interest, wher-
ever End whenever they are con-
cerEed.
1.-THE committee has come 10 feel
that such an organization can best be
built with more efficient livestock
mark citing as its primary purpose.
without becoming a burden TO any
one such an organization should
grow 20 be largely representative OF
live stock producers and easily self
supporting.
Hinges Upon Cooperation.
The building of such an organiza-
ton hinges upon the willingness of
live stock producers to cooperate
in marketing their live stock and II
is convinced until they do so coop
crate there Is little hope OF sub
stantial and permanent improve
ment IN live stock marketing"
Producer-owhed and controlled
terminal associations be maintained
at various stock yards, is another
Recommendation. Cooperative com
mission companies will function
much the same way as old line com
pabies, with the essential difference
that commission rates will be estab-
lished on a cost basis, the report
sets out Regular commission rates
will be charged, but where services
can be rendered for less than exist
ing rates the balance will be rebated
TO patrons on a dividend system.
Funds for the establishment of the
terminal commission associations and
the allied stocker-and-feeder COM
panies will COME from memberships
sold to cooperative live stock asso
Citations and To individuals. Accord
ing 10 the report one membership
will entitle members to participation
in benefits OF both the terminal CON-
mission associations and the national
live stock associations. The mem
Der Of any terminal commission as
sociation ia also entitled to do bust
ness with and share in patronage
dividends of any other terminal COM
mission body he may patronize, the
report provides.

Following the plan TO extend cen

OF that place can be greatly boosted,
it is believed by adopting an inter
