WOOL DELIVERIES HEAVY
At Owosso, Vernon and Perry

That more wool will be taken in by
the Michigan State Farm Bureau in
1921 than in 1920 is no longer dis
puted even by local buyers.
The grading team arrived at Owos'
so Monday, May 18th, as per sched'
ule. They were kept continually busy
at Owosso until Wednesday night
and so fast was the wool delivered
that few lots could not be graded
and will be held over until the grad.
ers come to Owosso again in a few
weeks. Over 10000 pounds were
taken in at Owosso. Farmers went
away well pleased with the new plan
and with check for one half the
value of their wool, which values were
much in excess of what local buyers
were offering. Mr.. Kirk, the grader
at Owosso, stated that local buyers
at other points who were paying 20c
per pound Immediately raised to 25c
when the wool commenced to come
to the Farm Bureau Wool Pool. How
ever Mr.. Kirk stated that other buy
ers were unable to buy pound.
The team went to Vernon Thurs
day, May 10, where over $4,000
pounds of wool was taken in, in two
days and about 100000 pounds was
left in the growers hands to be grad
ed at a later date. Mr.. Robinson
did the grading at Vernon to the sat
isfaction of all concerned. 1t is
planned to have the grading teams
return to Vernon and Durand for
weeks stay as certain producers
have as much as 10000 pounds of
wool on hand to be graded and placed
in the 1921 pool.
On Saturday the team graded and
took in approximately $4,000 pounds
at Perry. Much more wool will be
brought in at Perry at the return
trip of the graders. Dates will be
announced through the Owosso, Per-
ry and Durand papers as to the next
grading dates.
Canada is watching our wool
growers plan to convert wool into
cloth and blankets and may do the
same thing.
If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you
don't.
If you like to win, but think you
can't;
It's almost cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost;
For out in the world we find,
Success begins with a fellows will,
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you're outclassed, you
are;
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of Yourself
before,
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.

FLAG DAY PROCLAMATION.
By the Governor

The observance of Flag Day is Of
comparatively recent origin ant
seems to have been begun in the
state Of New York. The custom, how
ever, has spread until practically
every state in the Union has
adopted it.
Honoring the flag means to honor
the principles for which the flag
stands, liberty, justice and equality
These are the foundation stones OF
the Republic. So long as these great
principles are really respected and
honored in the hearts of the people
our government is safe. Our free in
stitutions will weather any storm that
may beat upon them.
Therefore, by virtue of the author
ity vested in me as Governor of the
State Of Michigan, hereby proclaim
Tuesday, June I, 1921, Flag Day.
Let flags be displayed on both pub
lie and private buildings; and ] re-
quest that community exercises ap-
propriate to the day be held wherever
practicable.
Given under my hand and the Great
Seal of the State this second day Of
June, in the year of our Lord one
thousand nine hundred and twenty
on, and of the Commonwealth the
eighty-fifth.

COOPERATIVE ELEVATOR
ASSOCIATIONS ORGANIZED
AT OWOSSO AND VERNON
President Nicol at Byron

On Friday evening, May 13, CO.
operative Elevator Company was or
ganized at Owosso, the meeting be-
ing held in the G. A. R. hall. The
temporary committee which had been
appointed at an earlier meeting had
spent some time and effort soliciting
for funds and members and they be-
heved the time had come to incor-
porate and complete the organization.
Mr.. R. A. Wiley was present and af-
ter a strong talk on "How to Or
ganize" assisted with the organiza-
tion of the association.
A Constitution and Bylaws were
adopted after some discussion and it
was decided that the organization be
known as "The Farmers Co-Opera-
tive Elevator Company of Owosso."
The following Board of Directors
were elected for a period of one
year.
Phil Shepard, Geo. Getman, E. E.
Vanderkarr, Henry Schroeder, F. c.
Reynolds, Geo. r. Fauth, Claud
Wright.
Mr.. Shepard was elected as presi-
dent until the annual meeting and
Mr.. Fauth was elected Sec'y-Treas.
for the same term.
The Board of Directors were au.
thorized to negotiate with present
Owosso Elevator owners with view
to renting an Elevator. They have
already had offers in the nature of
a rental proposition and will con-
slider others.
A solicitor will be hired to accom-
pany the directors in securing addi-
tional members and finances for the
new association. 1t is predicted by
directors Of this Owosso proposition
that three hundred members will be
signed up by the time the doors open
for business.
On Tuesday evening, May 10th a
meeting similar to the Owosso meet
ing was held at Vernon in the village
hall. Mr.. Wiley gave short talk,
and assisted with the organization.
Bylaws were adopted after which
seven directors were elected for one
year as follows:-
w. j. Mccullough, president.
c. r. Paine, Vice President.
F. 0. Perry, Secretary Treasurer.
Ed. Mccall, Chas. Elliott, J. l..
Hall, John Gebhart.
The Board Of Directors were au-
thorized to meet with representa-
tives Of local Elevator Companies,
getting their best offers as well as
securing estimates on the cost of
building such a building as would
be needed.
1t was voted by the membership
that when rs members had been
secured, they were ready to do bus
mess.
New members will be permitted to
come in at any time although the
membership fee may be increased
q little later. 1t was thought by
many members that at least total
Of 100 members could be secured by
the time they were ready to do busi-
ness.

THINGS ACCOMPLISHED BY THE
;. MICH. STATE FARM BUREAU

Since the summer of 1920 when
the Michigan State Farm Bureau put
the first wheels of its marketing ma
chinery into operation it has sue
cessfully placed upon a self-support-
ing basis departments of seed, wool,
elevator exchange, and purchasing.
Other departments including traffic,
legislation, organization, and publi-
city were developed to a degree to
give valuable service to the members.
A membership campaign begun in
October 1919 was concluded in De-
cember 1920 with $4,000 ten dollar
year members pledged for three
years.
A revolution occurred in the Mich
igan seed industry when the Seed
| Department entered the field. The
results were three fold: (1) a sys-
TEN of seed distribution which gave
the seed producer more for his seed
the consumer more economically than
he otherwise could have gotten seed
of the same quality; (2) increased
the amount of registered Grimm AL
falfa seed nown in the state by SOC
per cent; (3) distributed over 3,000,.
600 pounds of seed throughout the
state, carrying guarantees that ex-
ceeded the guarantees of all state
seed concerns and even the require.
ments of the state law. All Of this
seed was cleaned, freed of noxious
weeds, and, in the case of most al.
falfa and all sweet clover, scarified
| Between five and six thousand in.
dividual farmers are estimated to
have been given service through the
seed department. The business of the
season was conducted through 36S
cooperative associations located ir
79 Of the 81 counties in the state.
In the autumn of 1920 the seed
department bought up half the
worlds supply Of registered Grimm
Alfalfa, all of which was sown ir
Michigan. More than 100000 lbs
of Michigan grown clover seed went
through the seed departments plan,
and were retained for Michigan use
All of it was certified as to origin
and history. The farm bureau hand.
led no imported or southern grown
clover seed.
Throughout the winter and spring
/
ized the market. Michigan farmers
in common with other farmers were
hard up and needed money. By means
of its bonded warehouse the depart.
ment prevented the market from be.
ing glutted with seed dumped in by
growers short of cash. 1t took in seed
issued warehouse receipts and made
cash advance equal to half the value.
The owner paid a nominal rate of
interest for the accommodation In
some cases this advance amounted
to $8 bushel, as much as other con-
Germs were offering for seed. Later
settlements brought the return up to
$l4 and SIS bushel on some clover
seed shipments. This system of cash
advances took the farmers out of the
clutches Of certain banks which were
exacting as high as % per cent in
terest, figuring in an ingenious bonus
system they used on their loans to
farmers.
Low grade seed sent to the seed
| department increased in value 81
to 81 when freed from noxious weeds.
| Farm bureau seed department SER
vice to farmers is cumulative and the
results Of the first years work will
ibe evident for years to come. Pure
