done and the potatoes were consigned
to national fruit association which
sold the cars and paid the company n
specified rate depending upon the
markets the day of loading.
At the principal shipping point, Gem
ter, the company erected a set OF
scales. an office and some cattle yards
which they have paid for out of the
proceeds of the transactions during
the past two years.
At Center, because of the competi-
tion of independent houses the farm
ors who ship thru the association are
paid a portion of the selling price of
the potatoes at the time of delivery,
whilo at other points which are free
from any independent buyers the ship
pers receive no part of the selling price
in advance, but must wait for two
weeks or more.
At first glance this looks peculiar,
that a group of farmers would be will
ing to sell a carload of potatoes and
wait for their money but the records
show that thru the association tho
farmer not only pays his share to the
association, but he pays his share or
the managers expenses and then re-
ceives a premium over the prevailing
rats.

A few years ago the farmers in
Saguache county raised potatoes. that
is they planted potatoes from their
bins each year without the trouble to
select tho proper seed; they raised po-
tatoes, without any regard for va
rieties or purity of stock; each farmer
raised what he had and knew not
what he raised and at marketing time
each farmer sold his crop for the pre-
valing price with hopes that the price
would not raise after he sold.
The county agent succeeded in
awakening them to the fact that they
should select their seed and several
decided to produce pure seed while
some more ambitious individuals Sc
lected certified seed.
1t was decided to try seyeral varie-
ties before selecting tho main crop
and the peach blows. rurals, brown
beauty and others were planted In the
fields.
Today as a result of this work the
main crop is the brown beauty with
the peach blow a second.
Several farmers have hand selected
their seed each year and today have a
few acres of certified spuds from
which to select their crop of seed po-
tatoes which gives them a standard
variety, free from disease and which,
when placed upon the market COM
mands a premium.
Moreover, the farmers soon realized
that something was wrong with the
system of marketing their potatoes
because the market was always flood
ed and the price was moving down
ward.
Considerable livestock, hogs and
cattle We're being raised in the San
Luis valley which were being market
cd under similar conditions and it be-
came either q question of changing
methods or changing occupations. They
chose the former.
A cooperative marketing association
was formed to handle the cattle, hogs
and potatoes. This association select
ed three managers for the different
sections. the two principal ones being
at Hooper on the narrow gauge ana

The market manager received a stat

THIS WEEKS NOTES ON THE FARM

No doubt you have noticed that the
weather works have been badly man
aged ever since the Yanks got back
from ArEonnc. There is a continual
tendency to ovordo things and shoot
past the objective. over there. moth
ing could hold them back. and 1t is
that way now with Sauk weather. You
saw it yesterday when a vast quantity
OF moisture was billed from Pacific
coast for the Rockies and the plains.
The blast was loaded too strong and
carried clear across to the Alleghancy
coast, so that so far as learned the
Kunsas-Oklahomn wheat is stiil short
Of wetness. Whether the continental
divide got any adequate quantity of
snow out of the scant fall of Saturday
night has not yet been learned.
But we need not worry, at least not
yet. If the snow bin runs dry the
rain tank is the more likely to hold
out. Natures evening up" process
is a marvellous system OF balancing the
conditions. 1t is impossible to account
for It but the old observer Ia not fore
, casting any utterly dry barren summer
and tx counting on putting In spring
crops same as usual
Aside from tho hit-or-miss records
of moisture the farm news of the week
has been located mostly in Washing
ton City-samc town whose 2-toot
snow made the roofs cave in. Presi-
dent Harding and the big agricultural
convention did the best they could to
study out helps for the farmer. and
anyhow the mere effort to right things
affords much comfort. This page
could offer strong theories as to what
is the matter and what ought to oc
done hut they wouldn't let us print it,.
Along with stingy precipitation the
supply of Colorado perfumcry has run
short; that is to say, the onions. y
year ago you could buy 20 pounds of
onions for a quarter; now you get >
pounds. Acres of rich ground were
carried bodily down to New orleans in
June, onions and all: but apart from
this we observe the characteristic
human trait of timid conclusions. The
grocery men knoS that onions regu-
larly alternate from cheap to dear.
When they are cheap one year not
many win be grown the succeeding
year. Tho price go,s mp, and every
body raises onions the next year.
Producers were watching the figures
during the last week with even more
anxiety than usual. and taking tho
average all around they derived some
encoura cement. Sugar went up 40
cents wholesale and potatoes the
same. also apples Beef and cattle

good gain. and hogs and sheep made
perceptihle advance. Hay of both kinds
is cheap out in tho stack but is high
or delivered.
Unusually low prices of butter and
eggs for this time of the year seem
disappointing yet there lis another way
10 look a #. The scare caused by tho
great import of butter at San Fran
cisco has not produced fall Of more
than or 6 cents here in the interior.
So long as hay and grain continue so
cheap and milk so plentiful most of
us are better satisfied to turn out lib
eral quantities at liberal price than
we would be while frettiuE over steep
feed and mcager output of cream.
With plenty Of cream there is far
more incentive to operate the trans

UNUSUALCAUSES
FOR Allow PRICE
BUTTER, EGGS

The bottom has dropped out Of the
butter market, and eggs are on
tobogGan slide. The Colorado Springs
Telegraph OF Friday says:
Today the best grades OF butter
are selling at 3S and 40 cents n pound
at Colorado Springs stores. 1t is the
lowest it has been for nearly 10 years
at this time OF the year.
The price of fresh city eggs at To-
cal stores today is As cents 4 dozen.
They were selling for 70 cents a dozen
last month.
Consumers are heilins tho dropping
prices with JOY. Ranchcrs in tho
county are looking glum. With tho
price of grain 80 low that farmers
cannot haul to market and sell at
profit, many of them have been kept
going largely by their dairy and poul-
try products.
Exclusive dairy farms. however.
the other farms. and will not suffer
so much.
1t is reported that the fall In the
price of butter has been caused large
ly by the Importation OF large quanti-
ties of butter from Denmark and
from Australia. The Danish butter
is shipped to New York and is a high
grade article. Denmark is famous as
a dairy country. and. with extensive
cooperating marketing systems, II is
now branching out for business as
never before. Not the butter fat. but
the manufactured butter Ia sent to
America.
The Australians are shipping to San
Francisco. While Denmark export
ed to the United States before the
war, 1t is n new export trade for Aus
traliau dairy farms. The effects of
these importstions have been felt
from the Atlantic to tho Pacific
coasts,
