yesterday afternoon to to 0 win.
The field, II such II can be called. was
a mass OF muck and water and after
the first scrimmage it was next to
impossible to distinguish friend from
foe in the opposing line-ups.
The weather was cold and was made
the more disagreeable by a light rain
which fell almost continually through
out the contest and the small crowd of
fans stamped and cheered through the
4s minutes Of play as much to gener-
ate bit of heat as to arouse the
players.
Good football was rendered pract!-
cally impossible by the condition OF
the ball ands field and both teams put
up a much better game than might
be expected under the adverse con1i-
tons. The Waterville line held we'll

sweet potatoes was given producers
and shippers In the Southern states.
In one state plans and specifications
for 80 sweet-potato storage houses
were furnished and in another state
53 storage houses constructed from
plans furnished by the United States
bureau of markets. A sweet-potato
exhibit car was arranged and moved
LOO miles over four railroads touch
ing 81 points In the sweet-potato pro-
ducing sections. The exhibit included
miniature model storage house,
working plans, and specifications for
storage houses, pictures. charts, and
slides showing approved methods OF
production, harvesting, storing, grad
ing and packing.
Demonstrates Approved Methods.
Exhibits illustrating approved mar
keting pactices were conducted in six
states, In most instances these eX-
hibts were in connection with state
or district fairs or at expositiOns Of
more than state Importance. ColOra-
dos potato shipments run from 1000
10 1880 cars year. OF this guam
THY, 40 per cent Is moved during the
winter months when there is great
danger of frost damage in transit. To
stimulate interest among Colorado po-
tato growers and shippers in better
marketing conditions, an exhibit of Il
full-siZed freight car was produced in
the Denver Auditorium at the Western
potato show this year to show by ac-
tual demonstration proper methods OF
lining and loading cars Of potatoes to
prevent loss from freezing in transit
and of sewing sacks to prevent loss OF
potatoes slipping through the tops of
sacks. Some 5000 people attended the
exhibit, and it Is confidently believed
that greater number of cars will be
loaded properly.
Twenty-Five short instruction courses
relative TO various phases of market
ing were given In six states. In one
state course OF lectures covering II
weeks was given in school Of com
merce. Cooperative enterprises In
three states were given assistance in
accounting problems. The collection
and dissemination Of information rela
tive TO quantity. quality and price Of
local produce offered for sale was ar
ranged for at IL points in four states.
The United States bureau of mar
kets' report of the work of its field
agents in marketing shows that the
accomplishments were greater In num-
her and Of more value TO producers
and consumers during the year ended
June 80, 1920, than in any previous
year. 1t is felt that work Of this
character should make possible the

State cooperative work in market

Improvement in methods of market

200 demonstrations of approved prac-
tees of preparing farm products for
market and over 700 talks relative 70

two cooperative livestock shipping
associations with n membership of b.
$50 shippers were formed, and an es-
timated saving OF S73,54S secured
through the cooperative shipping Of
333 cars OF cattle, hogs and sheep
from 80 counties.
Aid Marketing Organizations.
While complete figures are not
available, those at hand show that the
field men were instrumental in the for
nation of 1873 marketing organiZa-
tons, including 80 livestock shipping
associations and 81 fruit or vegetable
associations. They also assisted in
the organization Of u credit unions
and 10 declarations of existing associ-
atoms, most of which are statewide in
scope. One hundred and sixty-siN
wool pools handling over lO,OOWO
pounds OF wool were given assistance
In organization and grading. In II
number of states the field men,
through state agencies, secured the
adontion of fadaroI standards for farm
products and containers. One hun
dred and thirty-eight groups of pro-
ducers were assisted in making CO.
operative sales. One sale included

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"cOCkN EY"

A s USED by writer's of the
"A word "COckney" meant a
molly-coddle, an effeminate per-
son. child that had been cock
led" or coddled too much by
its mother. Then. because the
men who lived in a city were sup
posed to be less virile and
strong than those who lived in
the country, the rural population
commenced to apply the term
TO residents of London and
other cities throughout Eng
land. Gradually this meaning
was restricted and localized UNI
Ill II was applicable only to Lon
doners. or, as one writer Of the
period phrases II. particularly
to cOnnote the characteristics in
which the born Londoner is sup
posed to be inferior to other En-
glishmen." The opposite term
the one applied by the townsmen
TO the farmer-was Clown"
meaning lout, an uncOuth. i'll
bred man.
Today, the name of Cockney
Is applied generally to London
ers but specifically to those Of
certain station-Arry and
'Arriet being typical Of the class
which is supposed TO drop its
his and TO replace them where
they do not belong. But any
one who has come in contact
with the Cockney as he is today
will testify to the fact that IL
is a far cry from him to the
"cOckney" Of the Elizabethan
period. The London COckney
may not be well-educated or
super-refined in his speech--but
he is emphatically not milk

There Is reason to believe that many
farmers, owing to lack OF proper
records, do not know what returns they
actually receive. nor how these COM
pare with what they should receive
for their work and the use of their cap

According to cost of production In
States department of agriculture In
cooperation with the University of
Nebraska in parts of Nebraska during
the past two years, the average cost
of corn-fed cattle laid down at mar
ket was $14.91 per hundredweight for
2,293 head fed in the winter of 1915

and an average of S13.39 for an addi-
tional 795 cattle upon which detailed
cost figures were secured during the
same winter. The costs upon some
drOves were found To vary widely from
these average figures, with the major
portion going to market the first win
ter (191S-l9) carrying an expense bill
of from S13 To SIS hundredweight,
while in 1920 the costs of most OF
the cattle were between 81 and SIT.
The facts thus far brought out by the

FARM ACCOUNTS AID
TO BETTER PROFITS
Quite Essential to Any Well
Thought-0ut Plan.
Farmer Enabled to Meet Conditions In
Way That Will Give Him Great
est Net Returns on Various
Crops He Produces.

Farming is q business, and, to be
successful il must be conducted In a
businessllke manner. 1t involves the
production and sale of commodities,
just as does manufacturing. The bust
ness man. whether in factory or on
farm, should be constantly considering
two questions:
l. What profit Is my business max
ing?
.. How can that profit be increased?
The first OF these must be answered
before an intelligent effort can be
made to answer the second. Proper
accounting leads directly to the an
swer TO the first question, and hence
Il is essential to any well-thought-out
plan TO increase profits.
The problem OF the farmer is to
meet conditions on his own farm in a
way that will give him the greatest net
returns year in and year out, for the
use Of his capital, his labor, and his
managerial. ability. Before he can be
considered a successful farm operator
he must produce results that will COW
er the value Of all these. Capital can
earn interest without labor on the part
Of its owns- and labor can earn wages
with.se Dwning any capital. The farm
W, utilizing both In the conduct Of his
business, should secure returns that
will cover both interest and wages
Not until both of these have been
more than covered can any profit be
credited to the farming operations.
Nothing hut return In excess of inter-
est and wages can properly be consid-
cred as net profit.
