MARKETING EGGS BY
COOPERATIVE PLAN
BRINGS MORE MONEY
Ten Months Trial in Two In.
diana Counties Shows In
crease of 9 TO II Cents.

The cooperative marketing OF
eggs and dairy products has been
taken up in two Indiana counties.
Whitley and Wells by the county
farmers associations and county
agricultural agents. The plan has
been underway for ten months in
Whitley county and about a month
in WeAs county and is being taken
UP in a number of counties in the
state
The products are being handled
on a quality basis with the eggs be-
ing carefully graded and sold in
eastern markets. II. w Fitting OF
the Poultry Extension staff of Pur-
due university visited these co-opera
tive shipping stations recently at the
request Of the hangers to offer sug-
gest.OnS in marketing their eggs
He assisted them in working out a
more definite system Of grading and
helped them establish the grades to
be used in the products brought in
by the member OF the association.
The handling Of the eggs in this
manner has brought from nine to
twelve cents more TO the dozen than
local prices, on the good eggs. but
on dirty and small eggs the returns
have not been as high "a was paid
locally. Mr. Fitting helped the local
associations select representative
samTSes OF important grades 20 put
on display at the receiving stations
These associations are on the
right track in trying to grade ana
set up qualify "a their standard" said
Mr.. Fitting Their future success
depends largely on how well this
standard is maintained"

penses $432.S6 and find total labor
income of $492.O3.
Next week we will mention in de-
tail the receipt and expenses from
the farm Of Lewis White in White
Post township. This report is just
as interesting and adds further evi-
dence 10 the statement that poultry
is profitable if given good care and
management.
Travellers Exclamation: "Oh, hen
house! What dungeons are built in
thy name"
HOG PRODUCTION.
It might be inferred from some of
the things we have said that the
writer is a crank on poultry. The
facts of the matter are that 1 do not
regard any specialized farm as a
safe venture from the standpoint of
the owner. Specialized farms have
too much at stake whenever crops
are bad. We are prepared TO make
this statement without any reserva-
ton because we have seen more
pearly farm records than any other
county agent in the state or perhaps
in the United States. Profitable
farming has its enterprises well bal
anced and each Of them carried on
in a good way. I have found in
times past that the farmer who
makes money one year with another
has a good flock of poultry and keeps
them reasonably well. ne has a few
brood sows and sees to il that they
are well kept, he grows clover and
alfalfa. Here are three enterprises
that under our conditions seem to
bring almost sure profit one year
with another.
The hog business in this county
Will always pay providing one can
grow clover and alfalfa and pasture
as this IS the factor that generally
limits the prifits in the hog game.
RABBITS LIKE APPLE BARK.
Those who have set apple trees
need TO look them over carefully
since the snow is on TO see that rab
bits hunting for food do not develop
an ungovernable appetite for apple
bark. There are a number OF ways
to protect these young trees. one of
the simplest being TO wrap news
paper around the trunks and tie il
securely. While girdled apple trees
can be saved, it is usually more than
the tree is worth. The adage, IAN
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
Of cure" is especially applicable in
this state.
SPEAK FOR LIME.
Again we want TO call the attention
to those who expect the sew alfalfa
next spring TO the fact that we are
collecting small orders Of limestone.
in case anyone wants 10 haul during
the winter.
We have just received word from
the Idaho Grimm Alfalfa Seed asso-
citation that a certain seed house in
Indiana has been designated as their
agency in this state. They have
gone a step further this year than
they did last and have placed their
seed in sealed bags containing %
and 60 pounds each. II wiz not be
possible 10 break these bags. A con-
tract which the Growers association
az BlackfOot, Idaho. has entered in
10 with this seed house stipulates
that this inspected and certified seed
shall be down, freight paid at any
point in Indiana at As cents per
