" T starting cooperative exchange To date S14eo has been subscribed by the farm CTS of these two towns and committee of five men are still at work endeavoring to raise enough capital stock. 50 that the organizat ton meeting. for the exchange can be held in the near future.
 In this same town the Jewish farm CTS are undecided as to what they will do about cooperative buying. The farm bu- reau cooperated with them at q meeting, when the possibilities of establishing a store house with a manager were discus sed. A number of men in this locality are interested in this proposition, but the majority seem to feel that the best course will be to join with the other farmers in making a success of the cooperative ex- change, which was started previously 4.z A very, interesting culling demonstra7 ton was held on the farm of s. Schatz in this same town. Professor Jones, had charge of the cnliing demonstration and culled 40 hens from flock of 175. Miss Phoebe Schatz wrote the farm bureau offioe short tine later, andsstated that these 70 hens kept for sane time in separate pen did not lay any eggs
 The farm bureau cooperated with some
  dicussing plans for the organization gof cooperative buying association. Plans wef-e fnade for meeting of every onein- terested. to be held at Colchester in the near future. At that time the bullets were divided into two hocks. the extra good layers and the medium bullets, and plans were made for a. record of produc- -tior to be kepason each fioclSs to determine whether or not it was possible to pick out the good layers from the medium layers before any -Aggs had been produced. Plans wereefurnished by the farm bureau to another man, in this locality for build= ing a poultry house.
 A%lime demonstration of the farm of Michael lynda, showed some very sat isfactory results, Weighings were made on plot of oats, one-half of which had been Timed and the other half left unlinn- ed. The plot which had been Timed showed an average production of S.53 tons per acre green weight while the unlimed plot showed a yield of 4.57 tons per acre. :
