$57 900 PROFIT
IN SIX MONTHS
Farmers Cooperative Sales Agency
Sets Aside Big Surplus For
1 Livestock Shippers
BY Farm Bureau News Service

By Farm Bureau News Service
Profits amounting to more than $57.-
600 have been set aside by the Central
Cooperative Commission association
in the first six months of 1922, to be
returned to patrons in the form Of
patronage dividends. M
In the first five months of its OPP
erations, ending Dec. 81, 1921, the
farmers terminal marketing agency
accumulated profits amounting to more
than $4,000. This surplus was re-
turned to the livestock producers early
this year. The total savings realized
by farmers through dividends and sur
plus laid aside by the Central amount
to $4,000, although the organization
has been in operation less than year.
Lower commission rates charged by
the Central for handling livestock, it
is estimated saved farmers $4,000 in
the last five months of 1921. In the
first half of 1922, these savings have
been increased by another $4,000.
Profits and savings III reduced COM
mission charges do not represent all
the direct cash benefits of co-opera-
tive action on the terminal livestock
market, according to J.. S. MOntgom-
cry, general manager. Livestock val
ued at several hundred thousand dol
lars has been handled through the as
sociation's stocker and: feeder service
at actual cost, saving the producer
thousands of dollars in commissions
and other expenses, he said. So

RATES ON FUEL U : :.
Ill. WOOD LOWERED
Temporary Order by State Commission
Issued to Supply Farmers
With Better Market - re-

= By Farm Bureau News Service.
Orders lowering the. freight rate Oh
fuel wood approximately 20 per cent
were issued last week by the Mime
sofa Railroad and Warehouse commits
sion. The order is temporary, effec-
tive August to April 1. It's immedi-
ate purpose is to give farmers bet
ter market for cord wood and to serve
the larger cities in the event the. fuel
shortage becomes more desperate.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion several weeks ago issued gen
eral order reducing cord wood rates
10 per cent. This. gave farmers OF
western Wisconsin an advantage in
putting wood on the Twin Cities mar
ket, due to the fact that sections OF
that state where wood is cut are closer
to the market than those in Mime
sofa. The Minnesota reduction serves
to equalize this situation.
On shipments moving. $50 miles, the
rate has been reduced from II to 9
cents; on 2OO-mile shipments, 91a to
s cents; on 5O-mile shipments, 5h to
AZ cents .l.4% 7 =
The railroads, Of course. have an
to contest the order, but
in view of coal shortage, such action
is not expected, especially as the or
der is temporary. &c.

the first time this summer to pros
pective teachers enrolled in the SUM

unusually large registration indicated
the popularity Of the new course. So
great is the demand throughout the
state for this new type of instruction,
says Professor Field, that less than 5
per cent of the requests for men train
ed in this work can be filed. Rope
work, soldering, sheet metal work, har-
ness repairing, electric wiring, tool
sharpening and general repairing are
subjects especially emphasized in the
new course

BUTTER TESTS SHOW .r

Every one per cent Of butterfat

dertaken a cooperative butter analysis
project with the state dairy and food
commission for determining the com
position of butter from 500 Minnesota
creameries. ~ ~ s. - 81.
Some preliminary work with 20
creameries of the state indicates this
loss runs from 5000 to $1,000 a year
per creamery. Tests taken on $50
samples to date indicate fat COM
position varying from 71.2 to 1928

A-personal invitation is extended to-
visit the Northwest experiment sta
ton and school of agriculture at

This will have to be decided by each
organization and. plans be made for
as much time as possible. The club
should bring picnic lunch for either
dinner or supper or both. The clubs
that have come, so far have reached
the station about two o'clock. ~.

OF INTEREST TO THE FARMER
PRODUCERS TO DISCUSS
SALES AGENCY AUG. 4
st. Paul Conference to Map Out Course
In Case u. S. Grain Growers
=. Is Unable to Act ss.

The farmers elevators of Minnesota
have been asked to send representa-
tives to a cooperative marketing con-
ference in the Old Capitol, st. Paul,
at $3.50 a. IN. Friday, Aug. 4, to dis
cuss plans for handling the present
grain crop comparatively, in case the
u. s. Grain Growers, Inc, is unable
to function. -
The call for the conference was
sent out by J. f. Reed, president Of
the Minnesota Farm Bureau Fedora
ton. In 700 letters to officers of CO.
operative elevators, he urged that
representatives Of the elevators, and
all farmer friends of cooperative
grain marketing" attend the j, confer
ence, :'tO determine whether arrange
ments cannot be made to market the
present crop comparatively even if the
U. S. Grain Growers is not able to
establish sales agency in time to
handle it," ."z.s :.,.-.
There is no intention Of conflicting
with the work of the U. S. Grain
Growers in any way, the call says.
At the last meeting of the execu-
tive board of the Minnesota Farm
Bureau Federation, committee OF
three was appointed to investigate the
possibilities of cooperative handling
of the present crop, in the event that
the U. S: Grain Growers, Inc, does
not furnish this service. This COM
mittee consists. of Mr.. Reed, Thomas

NEAR NORMAL
Farm Bureau Survey Shows Farmers
Are Paying From $40 to, -
S2.75 Day

Farm labor demand in Minnesota
is normal, according to F. L. French,
secretary of the Minnesota Farm Blu
reau federation, who has just COM
pleted an exhaustive survey. In sew
enty-five per cent of the counties, Mr..
French says, farmers are having no
more trouble than usual in getting
hands. In 25 per cent, mostly in the
Red River Valley, there appears to be
a shortage, due to the fact that, har-
vest is under way. r"' 49,.
The survey shows the following av-
erage wage for various kinds of work:
General, by the day ------------$ 2.4O
Haying, by the day ----------- 2.6O
Shocking, by the day ---------- 2.70
Threshing, by the day --------- 2.75
General, by the month --------- 1850
General, s months basis ------ $3.50
These wage scales, according to Mr..
French, as rule, include board, room
and washing. ~
Farmers now are paying approx
mately s per cent more for all kinds
of labor than they were year ago.

When the farmer comes in from his
daily toll and sits himself down in
his old arm chair and lights his corn
cob pipe that is full of ''Old Tom"
or pride Of the Cabbage Patch and
picks up his daily paper and reads,
Miners out on Strike" printers on
Strike" Railway Workers Voting to
Walk OUT he wonders what is all
ing the fellows who are working eight
hours a day for twice as much pay
as he is receiving for fourteen hours.
But he puts his paper away and goes
to bed and gets up the next morning
at five just as usual and while the
eight hour fellow is still slumbering,
he wends his way out to the field to
put in another long day.
Has he ever had it in his head to
strike emo, never; he plods on and
on while others are specializing on
what his crops will be and how much
they will make out Of the efforts of
his toll. He works and works that
we who live in the city may have
enough for the winters supply. Prices
may be low, yes, so low that he does
not even receive one half the ,compen-

price of milk and butter be if the
farmer went on an eight hour shift
and had to keep two crews to care
Tor his cattle at regular hours?
And yet some folks would have us

him would be q fresh horse fl the
