second team received thir new bas-
ketball uniforms which had been
ordered for several months The
| suits are indeed very attractive and
manifestly display the school colors,
| olive and silver. The team became
all wrought up and immediately
| wanted a game, so Miss Rayne, our
efficient principal, arranged a. game
between the second team and their
ssuperiors," the first team. The
game was thrilling and exciting and
it was with anxiety that the sections
Of the school, as they divided into
groups for both teams, awaited the
sounding of the final whistle. After
a hard-fought game the first team
came out as victors by a score of
20 to Is
A special reward was offered the
player caging the most goals. Rene
Dubourg, first team forward, captur-
ed this recompense, scoring six field
goals. Preston Prieto Gagged four,
and Eads Russ four Guarding on
both sides was reticent and Bagur
put on the concludory, scoring two
perfect field goals.
Good Work, Second Team.
On last Monday, March 20, SlidelTs
junior team pulled off another vic

COOPERATIVE MARKETING.
(By A. T.. Briggs)

An important step toward agricul.
turaI development in st. Tammany
parish was taken last Monday when
| ceIegates from local farmers asso-
] clattons from all over the parish met
at Slldell and formed parish mark
! etlng association. It is especially
fortunate that it had a man among
the delegates to whom the meetin Z
naturally turned in the selection OF
a manager. Mr.. S. f. Simmons, who
Will be the manager for the current
year, has exceptional qualifications
IN his experience, first as a truck
grower in the most prosperous part
OF the Mississippi district and now
successful merchant. Not the
least of his qualifications by anv
means is the confidence which his
character, personality and abilities
inspire. His election as manager is
propltious choice which seems t.
the writer largely to overcome what
ever defects may exist in the present
form of organization or very great
difficulties which face new market
ing association whose members are
mostly accustomed to business meth
ods in the handling of trucking pro-
ductions
The difficulties which are most
likely to hinder and sometimes de-
stroy cooperative marketing nsso-
Citations is lack of understanding
among the members of the functions
OF business Of such an association
1t is certain that an association
whose members are familiar with
marketing methods is the, kind whose
success is sure.
The space allotted to this article
is not sufficient to describe those
methods. It is the hope of the
parish association that this year il
will be able to contract with a ma
tional organization which will give
the farmers expert service in the
packing and grading of their vege-
tables for shipping. If such a con-
tract can be made with responsible
parties who will give fair service, it
will undoubtedly be an advantage to
those associations locally whose
members take an active, intelligent
part and use all means and oppor-
tunities provided for acquiring ex-
pert knowledge in making neat pack
ages or hampers to exhibit a hign
quality of product. An attractive
pack is the one which tops the mark
ct price.
Also our growers should endeavor
to learn for themselves where and
how their goods are sold. A lack
of interest in markets and market
ing facilities will be a cause of fail
ure. For growers who have no
knowledge of the markets will hardly
appreciate the need for raising 4
product which will please the buyer
and for packing it to make a good
display so as to tempt buyer The
are all highly competitive.
City consumers buy with their eyes;
they buy what looks prettiest or most
appetizing. So the grower who does
not become acquainted with the
tastes and desires of the buyers will |
hardly be able ever to get the highest
prices for what he grows and ships. |
Those who are new and strange to |
the growing and shipping of truck |
crops should not be discouraged at |
his. They have now an exceptional |
opportunity to learn, if they will |
AXE advantage of it.
Another advantage in learning the !
