Cooperative Organizations

pendent upon effective, organized mar
keting systems for farm products.
Cooperative associations are in
creasing rapidly in number and in
fluence; recently they have attained
recognition by the Federal Reserve
board.
To the average city dweller, par
ticularly those in the East, the ex-
tent of the work of county agents
in organizing farmers co-operatives
will be almost astonishing. Certain
business interests have criticized the
attitude of the department. but its pol
icy is that the farmers business edu-
cation must now be put on par with
his education in production.

total number of agents in the field.

MARRIAGE IN OTHER LANDS
Quite Prosaic Affair In Turkey
Scandinavian Couples Had to
Show Vaccination Marks.

Marriage In Turkey is a very pro-

cases quite a business matter. When

girls are to be found. and the mother
then calls at these.
What can your daughter dol" she
asks, whereupon embrolderies, car
pets, rugs, ETC., are exhibited as evil
dence of the girls handiwork. II
these are approved by the mother, she
takes the goods home 10 her son and
induces him to marry the clever young
woman.
If, on the other hand, she does not
think much of the work, she makes
some diplomatic excuse. and passes
on to another house on the list. II,
however, the young man is not liked
by the girls parents, the mother Is
advised to seek elsewhere.
In Sweden and Norway, a legal
marriage at one time was not al
lowed to be solemnized until both par
ties had produced certificates stating
that they bore genuine vaccination

All Are Early at Work.

The day begins early for everybody
in Belgium, and particularly with the
wage-earners. More than half of Bel,
GUMS population lives outside the
towns. and they are up at their work
before the gray dawn is dispersed by
the lights of hundreds of cottages
may be seen wing with the stars as
they twinkle forth their message of
households bestirriD~
In the towns and cities the people
are downtown almost as early as their
neighbors across the English Chan
mel are at breakfast. They get their
midday meal around noon, and they
go home for ii, since remarkably low
tramway fares make this possible. So
it is that. instead of a mug of milk
and a sandwich at some quick lunch,
many a Belgian burgher shuts up shop

Of the day. eats it leisurely. and re-
turns downtown by o'clock.

Taxes were made exceedingly low
on small property owned by those
who tenant it.
The entire western portion of the
country resembles one vast market
garden. There are no fences marking
the boundaries Of the many small
tracts, but rather little trenches that
separate one farmers place from the
others. Tens of thousands OF acres
OF the toughest kind of land have
beer converted into splendid trucking
gardens by western Belgians. In 1889

French, and only 10 per cent of the
people can speak both. The Flemish
influence never crossed the Meuse riv-
er toward the east, and the WallOOn
influence reached but a short distance
toward the west from that beautiful
valley. The line of demarcation be-
tween the two peoples is rather sharp
ly marked.
There is a physical difference be-
tween the Walloons of eastern Bel
gium and the Flemings of western
Belgium, just as there is a difference
of tongue and stock. The WallOons
are of stOuter build and greater stat
ure. and are dark where the Flemings
are fair, thus bespeaking the COM
mingling of Spanish blood. On the
other hand the Flemings are the more
Industrious of the two peoples, and
their women are said to be able to pre-
pare the best meals out of the fewest
things of almost any race in the world.

and honey of plenty. Being cOntig-
uOus to the North sea fishing grounds,
it has always possessed liberal sup
ply of fish, which is staple article
of diet with the people.
If living was cheap in Belgium it
was no cheaper than conditions called
for, because wages certainly were low.

quisite laces that bear the Belgium

times the utmost frugality to make the

wife be an excellent manager. The
Belgian wage-earning classes eat but
little animal food, and most of that
is fish.
