ANNUAL CONVENTION
CHURCHES OF CHRIST

The thirty-frst annual convention
of the Churches of Christ in Florida,
under the auspices of the United
Christian Missionary Society of Flor
9th. The program as published in the,
Star has been carried forward pracf'
tically as printed with a few substlx
tutions and adjustments: me adddfess
Of welcome was delivered by Rev. c..
H. Trout, pastor of the First Chris
tian church, Ocala, which was re-
sponded to by Mrs. B. L. Coutant of
Jacksonville, the state president, Rev.
w. A. Harp of Clearwater, being de-
tained at home owing to the illness of
his wife. The principal address of the
evening was delivered by Rev. Charles
W. Ross, pastor of the Riverside Ave
nue. Christian church, Jacksonville, on
"The Origin and Purpose of the Dis
ciples of Christ" Rev. w E. Harlow,
who was announced to deliver this ad-
dress, was unable to be present be-
cause of serious illness.
From the beginning the quality of
the program has been excellent, and
while the convention has not been quite
as largely attended as those in charge
had hoped, the spiritual plane upon
which it has moved has been exceed
ingly high. The vision manifest has
been as broad as the needs of the
world. And the plans made are worthy
of much larger group of people.
| Representatives of the general
work of the Christian church from the
st. Louis headquarters have added
much to the value of the convention.
These people are standing upon the
simple and comprehensive platform Of
"The Whole Bible for the Whole
World" Their desire is to exalt
Christ and help to save the world, anc
their distinctive mission is to call the
attention of the whole religious worlt
to the persuasive prayer of our Lore
for the unity of all his people, plead
ing for the unity of the Bible and th
Bible alone, taking it as the only rul
OF faith and practice for their lives.

MARKETING FARM PRODUCTS
(By K. C. Moore, County AGENT

10y n. -. moore, COunCy AgenCI
AS has been shown in the case of
tomatoes our farmers might save a
great deal of money in the co-opera-
tive marketing of melons, cucumbers,
cabbage, lettuce, etc. The co-opera-
tive selling associations, organized on
commodity lines, began in this coun-
try in California only a little over two
decades ago. Today there are success
full commodity associations all over
the United States.
Previous to 1911 the California
raisin grape growers were selling to
buyers and the price got as low as III
cents pound. It was costing about
three cents pound to produce them.
These buyers claimed over-production.
Since the growers have organized they
have gotten about IL cents pound on
the average, and are putting four
times as many raisins on the market,
and the consumer is paying less for
them.
Before the Eastern Shore of Vir-
ginia Produce Exchange was organiz-
ed, the counties of Accomac and
Northampton were in a sorry plight.
Most of the farms were mortgaged
and farmers were leaving for other
sections. That was twenty years ago.
Now they ship over ten thousand cars
of potatoes year. The average size
farm is 80 acres. The farmers have
nice homes and good automobiles
few Fords. They have good roads and
good graded schools. In 1913 it was
said that Accomac was the second
richest farming county in the United
States.
The South Georgia Watermelon
Growers Association was organized in
time to handle the 1921 crop. They
had II per cent of the growers in that
territory in the association that year.
In 1912 the membership increased to
65 per cent of the growers. Why?
Because previous to 1921 the average
price per car Of melons from South
Georgia was $65. In 1921 the mem
bers of the association averaged 1924
| per car, while non-members averaged
only s125 from the track buyers.
The Wauchula (Fla.) Cucumber
Association got an average of Soc. a
crate more than the farmers did who
sold to track buyers in 1921. This
season they did equally as well.
When we were plowing up fields Of
cabbage this spring the Mobile Cab
bage Growers Association was selling
all its cabbage in northern markets at
top market prices, Notwithstanding
the large importations from Holland
and Denmark that the buyers told US
had destroyed our markets.
Everywhere one goes to talk CO.
operation he is met with the assertion
that farmers can't be organized, they
won't stick. Under the old haphazard
organizations they would not stick.
But under the plans that these new
associations are using they are stick
ing.
That old philosopher Josh Billings
never wrote a more striking thing
than the following: @T never argy agin
a sucksess."
