COUNTY AGENT OUTLINES
ATTAINMENT OF SHIPPERS
Shows Wherein County Farmers Are
Getting More Money BY CO.
Operative Selling.

Ny n, dlflCh.J
The past week or SO has been a
rather busy time for the Livestock
Shipping Association. During this
time the organization has handled
car of wool, a car of cattle, car
of hogs, and two cars of lambs,
reaching some 200 farmers and
turning back some 100000 to its
consigners.
When an organization is running
in good order as ours, we are prone
to forget its benefits. Reports come
in from one county that there is no
market at all for wool. Our lambs
netted us IL cents through the CO.
operative shipment. Reliable re-
ports from an adjoining county,
where farmers are not protecting
themselves through cooperation,
show that farmers are able to get
only nine cents for their lambs.
But cooperation has a bigger and
broader mission than to merely get
a few more cents per pound for
farm products. Cooperation in
marketing absolutely takes the mask
off and acquaints the farmer with
If the farmer knows the market, then
he can prepare his products to NEE.
market conditions
Take for example our lambs. Two
years ago Henry County farmers
were able to ship 200 lambs the
18th of June. There were 80 top
lambs in this shipment This year
we shipped $50 lambs the LIST day
of June and had $50 top lambs.
BY selling their lambs according to
quality, farmers have looked ahead,
secured better bucks, provided bet
ter pastures, and done whatever was
necessary to have the best lambs.
And while we have made this pro-
gress, we have merely scratched the
surface. Only rs per cent of our
flocks are headed by registered
bucks. The fight for progress must
continue until every flock is headed
by a registered buck. We must put
quality into our sheep or else get
out of the game. Tennessee lambs
have quite a reputation. The Mt
Juliet Lamb Club in Wilson County
by using good bucks and good pas
lures, shipped 600 top lambs in one
cooperative shipment May 18th and
secured a fancy price. Henry Coun-
ty can do the same thing. And we
must keep on the job to put quality
into our lambs.
over and above the mere fact that
we sold our wool right up to and
probably a little above the Baltimore
wool market stands the matter of
cooperation in a big way. The fact
that all of us combined our wool
to make a car load made us indie
pendent We could put our wool
on any market we desired to. Then
by going after the market with
vim, we were able to even outsell
the other pools anywhere from a
cent to two cents per pound. The
fact that each fleece was tied sepa-
rately and put up in good wool
bags made our wool sell better.
We can make the sheep and wool
business a big thing in Henry
County.

themselves in an inferior class.
Whether or not they want to make
anything out of themselves is left

People are there because of laziness

a slum section, but she does have
certain districts that should be

Clean up the streets and alleys

both annoying and disgusting to take
girl or anyone riding on these
streets. I, myself, am, and hope
always to be, citizen of Paris, and

sible for the condition of our town
as any one. By hearty cooperation
of the city officials and citizens
Paris can be made a beautiful, safe
and sanitary city.
We have in our town near one
of the public schools a trash-dump
which is unhealthy and unsanitary,
Disease germs and filth are con-
stantly put away here. Children
will stop here on their way to and
from school and pick over the trash
for things to add to their junk
supply. Anyone knows that this is
not safe nor fair for the younger
generation Clean it up. Burn it.
Just put it where it will not dc
anyone any harm.

Wool Sale Prices Satisfy.
AT the first auction sale of the sea-

southwest of Fort Worth producers
claim to have been well satisfied
with the prices, though the latter
are withheld from the public About
$1,000 pounds of wool was sold at
San Angelo. 1t is understood that
the price was about IS to 90 cents
per pound. The sale at San Angelo
is significant in that it marks the
return of the open wool market in
Texas after years collapse.
The opening up of this market and
the prices paid are due. it is thought.
to the prospects of an immediate
tariff. Indications now are that
100000 pounds of wool will be con-
centrated and sold at San Angelo
this spring.

The ship strike has tied up scores of
vessels here and has had a depressing
influence also. The shipping situation,
however. is slowly improving. Sew
eral vessels have sailed with nom
union crews and others will get away

The movement of California fruit
has been retarded by the unusually
cold weather of the past ten days.
Throughout the fruit regions Of
northern California there has been
cold weather and showers.
In the main this weather has been
to the advantage of the crops. except
in the case of cherries the ripe cher

pers say that the cool weather will
prevent a glut of cherries and steady

prices high. Up to Saturday only sixty
cars of cherries had been sent east.
Cherries bring 121a cents a pound

Do you know which foods produce
fat and which do not? Foods whlch
do not produce fat are usually spoken
of as those having low caloric value.
Among the meats. lean beef. chicken.
lamb and mutton have low calorlc
value. Most varieties of fish are al
| lowed in any reduction diet-the eX-
ceptiOnS are salmon ana SardlneS.
Oysters and CLAIMS have practically no
! caloric value at all. Thin soups can
go on any reduction menu. but thlck
soups should be elimina ted.
Most dairy products are fattenlng:
therefore. cheese. butter and milk are
rarely allowed. although buttermllk
or SKINNED milk is quite all right.
and eggs can be eaten when they are
poached or boiled. Most desserts are
fattening because they contain starch
or sugar in some form.
Most vegetables are allowed in
every reduction diet. T o name only a
few, you can eat asparagus. beets.
string beans cabbage. carrots, cauli-
flower, celery. corn. cucumbers. let
tuce, onions, parsnips, peas. radishes,

fruit is usually allowed, unless there
