Courses in cooperative marketing
will be established at Kansas State
Agricultural College, according to
William NJ. Jardine, president. These
courses were installed at the request
of Kansas State Farm Bureau, which
is hacking the cooperative marketing
plan recently announced by the
COMMITTEE of IT," These courses
are intended to furnish training for
cooperative managers, who will be
needed in large numbers when the
Committees plan is put into effect.
Short courses, as well as courses in
the regular curriculum, will be offer
ed. State fam bureaus in other states
are asking that such courses be estab-
lished in institutions in their states.
In two weeks Kansas State Farm
Bureau has sold more than 800 sets
of surplus Government harness to
farm bureau members in Kansas, ac-

secretary, who is handling the

Sets of the harness have been sold
through about fifty of the fifty-six
county farm bureaus in the state, Mr..
Graham says. One county farm bu-
reau has sold more than fifty sets OF
the harness. A number OF farmers
in counties not having bureaus have
bought the harness through county
agents in adjoining counties.
