Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Specialists in the United States De-
partment of Agriculture urge con-
stautly the establishing of uniform
standards for farm products, and de-
clare that if these standards are
maintained, once they have been
adopted, the confidence of the public
viii he established, and the success
of cooperative marketing more gen
orally assured. Too many organiza-
,tiOns are brought into being as re-
-sulf of enthusiasm created by appeals
10 prejudice and by misconception.
The proper foundation is through a
well-recognized need for an organiZa-
tion.
cooperative principles" said CO.
operative specialist of the bureau Of
, markets, must be adhered to in the
organization and operation of farm
ers' marketing associations. The
farmers themselves cannot be expect
ed to have a vital interest in q mar
keting organization operated for the
profit of and controlled by few per-
sons. Such an organization should be
operated, of course, to effect savings
and to render service and not to earn
profits for, distribution as dividends on
money invested. A fair rate of inter-
est is granted to the capital invested
by the members, and the remainder
of any surplus to be distributed should
be divided in accordance with patron
age, that is, the amount of business
transacted with the organization.
Loyalty Is Essential.
The membership should be open to
producers only who desire to avail
themselves of its facilities, and there
should be safeguards to prevent the
ownership and control of the enter
prise from falling into the hands of a
few persons. The success of the en-
tire effort depends upon the loyalty of
the members and their interest IN the
Organization, the high standards they thsc55
maintain, and their distinct under
standing that as a business associa-
tIOn 1t should be managed by man
or men able to earn a dignified COM
pensatiOn. Disloyalty has caused the
failure of more than one cooperative
organization, and 1t Is weakness
which can be remedled only by the
members themselves.
H'The manager, of course, is the
keystone supporting the business. The
salary offered him should attract high
class ability as in any business look
ing to success, and he should have au-
thority to support his work. Ap en-
tire business can be ruined by an in
competent managerAa at its head.
"a cooperative marketing associa.
tion may be likened to typewriter
which is a very efficient machine, but
useless until you have some one COM
petent to operate 1t. The success OF

new methods and machines, and de-
veloping improved strains of the fiber
flax which are taller, yield more and
better fiber, and some of which are
resistant to disease and lodging.
1t has been shown that better flax
is produced from seed of selected
strains, than from imported seed, such
as has been used in the past. Efforts
are being made, too, to increase the
seed of these selections for distribu-
ton generally.
A special survey is being made this
season to determine the extent of dis
ease injury to which flax is subject,
and to procure definite information
needful in devising methods for COM
batting such diseases.
About 5000 acres of fiber flax was
grown in the United States in 1870,
but the relatively low price for fiber
has resulted in greatly reduced acre
age in 1927, estimated at 5000 acres

LET POTATOES LAY ON SOIL
II Exposed for an Hour or So After
Digging Skin Toughens and
Wards Off Decay.

IT is always advisable to allow the
potatoes to remain on the ground for
an hour or two after digging, as this
tonghens the skin against bruising
and decay resulting from handling. 1t
also lOosens the dirt on them and re-
moves some of the moisture from the
surface, so that their appearance and
keeping quality are improved.

DEMAND FOR SMALL CAPONS
Little Matter Of Education Make

There is already considerable de-
mand for small mature capOns. A lit
tie matter of education will make the
cupon from the small variety, when
fat and well finished, just as popular
as the big heavy capOn from the larger
breeds for the very good and simple
reason that the small family often
use five or ,six-pOund capon to bet

WAX MUST FIRST BE HEATED
Candle Without the Presence of
Necessary Gases.

A wax candle really is gas torch
You will find that when you apply ~
lighted match to the wick of candles
1t will not light readily. You have tW
hold the match to the wick until the
wick burns sufficiently to heat the wax
hot enough to turn it into gases which.
ON mixing with the oxygen in the mir,
produce the fire in the form of light
The candle will continue to he
lighted end to burn as long as the
wax continues hot enough to give Off
the gases or until the candle is en-
tirely consumed. Any interruption to
this process of Transforming the wax
into gas will result In the extinguish-
ing of the light.
The reason the candle goes out
when you blow on the flame is that
the gases which feed the flame at
the end of the wick are blown away.
the process of turning the hot wax
into gas is interrupted and with the
gas supply shut Off the flame is ex-
nguished.-Cleveland Plain Dealer

WORTHWHILE ARTICLES.

Every newspaper worth the name is everlastingly at one task, and that task is seeking to get for it's readers the very best that it is able to assure. That the supply of features is almost unlimited is common knowledge with every editor, and, if the office bank account will stand the strain. it is merely matter of taste as to what is purchased and used. In this particu- lar. as in others. the "hig felll!cws,, of f the newspaper field have the best of it --they can choose because they ea,, pay.
 But there are good things available for even such papers as The Star and, one by one, it adds feature as it can.
 The latest is a series of article "on themes closest to the hearts" of some of the biggest men in our country. These articles which will start in The Star early iE November, are more fully explained in the advertising col umns of this issue, and t is hoped they will prove an inspiration. an en- couragement, lasting everyday help.
 For example, what may it not be worth to you 10 read an article by Dr. Charles H. Mayo, famous Rochester. Minn.. surgeon. on "The Nations Health, or Opportunity by Judge Ebert Gary of the U. s. Steel Cor poration. or "The Great Need for Human Character" by our own Gov ernor McRae.
 The Star rejoices in the acquisition of this fine feature.

Arkansas
 Has Rare Distinction
No Other State Produces, Each Year. Annual Products in Excess of It's Invested Capitals Third in Oil Production-Apple Crop Failure The Wonder State.
By cLIoHARPER

Special to The Star.
 Arkansas enjoys one distinction which no state can take from 1t for some time at least. That is the re- cord of reproducing each year it's invested capital. Its annual pro- products from the farm, unless the crop be an unusual one exceeds the value of all the property in the state, both personal and real, as it appears upon the tax books. The assessed valuation of Arkansas property for 1920 is S222,O79, ,000 for personal and S391, ,347,00O for real. There had been marketed this year up to July 1, according to government statistics, S346. .22S,OO0 worth of agricultural and live stock products. There has been a tremendous slump m the value of agricultural products, but as cot ton is not considered Tn this amount the 1920 total is sure to be more than the assessed valuation of all property. In 1919 the property as- sessment was $55S, ,000, and the value of farm products for that year was S49S, 100000 If the value of manufactured articles in Arkansas is taken into consideration, the state will produce from it's forests and mines more than twice the assessed valuation of all property, which IS of course the actual value of the state $ property as it is customary to assess property in Arkansas at one half It's actual value.

Hatred for U. s. Leads
 Aliens to Rob Bank
fBy International News Service

Chugwater, Wyo., Oct. 6.-The hat red of two German sympathizers for America is believed by county offic- of an unsuccessful attempt to rob the Chugwater State bank by Adolph Finder and Herman J. Kusel
 The two men drew up to the bank in an automobile during the noon hour, rushed to the bank counter and ordered Cashier Robert Rollins to throw up his hands. Ducking be- heath the counter Rollins grabbed a gun and opened fire on the bandits, seriously wounding KuseI.
 Finder escaped but was captured two days later in Bushnell, Neb., 11O miles from the scene of the holdup, after being trailed by a posse of deputy sheriffs.
 In a confession to authorities here, Finder declared that the attempt to rob the bank was the first step in a declaration of war" that Kusel and himself had made upon the United States.
 According to the alleged con- fession Kusel, who was German born and was in this country when the world war broke out, conspired with Finder, Swiss by birth, to come to America and help in securing infor- nation that might aid Germany in the war. Finder was prevented, however, from leaving German dye factory where he was employed, and did not reach the United States until a few months ago, when he joined Kusel in opening clothing store in Bushnell, Neb.
 Their mutual hatred for this coun- try, according to the confession led the pair to devise new ways of vent ing their fostering spleen, and the warped reasoning of fanaticism even- tually resulted in an alleged decision to combine revenge with profit by striking at what they conceived to be America's pocketbook. This, they decided, might best be accomplished by the robbery of banks, the pair be- lieving that all banks were owned by the government, according to their confession.
 Kusel was interned at Fort Doug las, Utah, from March 12, 1918, until several months after the signing of the armistice, according to federal officers. He was arrested at Sterling, Col, where he was conducting a sec ond hand store. According to the report made to the Department of Justice at that time, the arresting agents found large quantity of 'spit fire" much dynamite and dog ems of rifles, revolvers and boxes of in the store.
 "Spit fire" was preparation said to have been employed by enemy alien agents in setting fire to muni- tion factories and bridges.

 There is not rich man who made his money by his own efforts who isn't glad, by the eternal, that he was not born rich. He knows that if he had been brought up to wealth, he wouldn't have had half the fun in lifenone of the pleasure of achievement that has been his. He knows that great use- fulness in life is not only a distinc- tion but personal joy. And as he looks abroad at the lives of wealthy men who got their money from their fathers, he congratulates himself on his great good luck that he had tc make his.

Eminent geologists claim that Ar kansas will, within another year, be- come the leading oil and gas produc- ing state of the United States. Ar kansas has jumped to fourth position
 and oil experts assert that it will be third by the first of the year. The increase in price of crude oil has been
 an incentive to development and a number of wells which have not been producing, have resumed pumping. At the present time Texas, Louisiana
 and Oklahoma are the only states which exceed Arkansas in the produc- tion of oil. The Fl Dorado natural gas is heavy with gasoline and 1000 cubic feet will yield two gallons of gasoline, and a gravity test of 37.5 at 60 degrees. The Crawford county gas has an exceptionally high heat value and 2000 cubic feet of it is equal to a ton of coal. Gas is sup piled to factories in the Fort Smith district at 10 cents per thousand cub ic feet, consequently these establish ments secure fuel at the price of coal at 20 cents ton. As the state law prohibits the use of more than 20 per cent of the daily flow of gas well, Fort Smith factories will have cheap fuel for many years to come. Only one-fourth of the possible out put of the Fort Smith gas wells is now consumed and the Border City will be quite a manufacturing center when the other three-fourths is put into use. One gas well in the Crawford county field has been flow inp for five vearS a yield of over 2 : 100000 cubic feet or the equivalent of 100000 tons of coal. It is still flowing at the rate of 100000 daily.
