FARMERS CANT DISPENSE WITH
DEALERS, SAYS COUNTY AGENT

That local farm bureau organizations
go too far in the matter of cooperative
buying of farm commodities and do in
jury to farmers interests by uneconomic
competition with existing business is the
oponion of at least one county agent in
Iowa, Clarence Pickard, of Humboldt
county
Mr. Pickard, who formerly believed
that the county agent should lend his
assistance to groups of farmers who de-
sired to buy supplies comparatively to be
distributed from the car for cash, has
altered his policy due to several expert
ences with cooperative buying.
I'VE purchased three cars of twine last
year and two cars of clover seed this
year." said Mr.. Pickard, wv ith such
good support from the farmers as to
leave certain dealers stranded high and
dry with these commodities on hand.
''As a result, this spring it was with
some difficulty that the dealers were per-
suaded to handle twine at all. 1t was
necessary that dealers should carry
twine, for some farmers could not pay
cash at the car, many were in the habit
Of waiting until they ran their binders
out before thinking of twine, and with
out the dealer there would be no way to
supply odd balls, for the farm bureau
has no storehouses or distributing sys-
tenn.
'Tt looks like a clever trick at first to
show the dealers up this way, but when
they call our bluff and withdraw from
handling these commodities in which we
have shown them up. then we are stuck
for we have Started something we can't
finish. We are not prepared to give this
service to all kinds of farmers every day
in the year"
AS a result of these experiences Mr..
Pickard has altered his policy toward
this problem. whenever the farmers
throughout the county or in any portion
of it," he says, demand the cooperative
purchasing of commodity, we cite them
their privilege of organizing their own
cooperative society to free them from
the real or imaginary bondage of the
private dealer.
MY attitude is that the dealer per-
forms an indispensable service which,
whether rendered by him or by some one
else, must be paid for by some one in
some way. I believe the farm bureaus
should refrain from countrywide buy
ing for farmers unless they are prepared
to go all the way and completely replace
the dealer with reference to the speci-
fic commodity they are attempting to
handle. The farmers prerogative Of or
ganizing his own cooperative association
is check on the dealer"

RUSTLESS SHEET IRON
PROVES SUCCESSFUL
Chrome Steel Can Now Be Roll
ed and Drawn at Low Cost.

Discovery of method by which iron
and steel may be made rust-proof was
announced in New York by DR.. Miller
Reese Hutchinson, inventor and engineer,
in an address before the Alumni Associa-
ton of Cooper Union. Chief credit for
the discovery, which was said to be one
of the most important in modern metal
Iurgy, was given to w. b. Ballantine, an
English metallurgist.
DR.. Hutchinson, who for many years
was Thomas A. Edisons conhdant and
chief engineer, explained that chromium
when mixed with molten steel or iron,
makes it entirely rust-proof, and, to
great extent, even acid-proof. The new
process makes chrome steel available
for many new Industrial purposes.
Imagine the value of a steel or iron,
said Doctor Hutchinson, possessing all
the strength of ordinary steel or iron, but
which can be left without attention for
generations and even in the most humid
of climates.
Shromium, he explained, is found in
crude state in many parts Of the world
and as cromite ore is reduced in an cleo
trio furnace, producing an alloy Of iron
and chromium, with from 4 TO per cent
of carbon in it, This has been used in
the manufacture Of automobile axles'
cutlery and other high carbon steel pro-
ducts.
The production Of rstless sheet iron
and wire and of low carbon STEEL how
ever. has proved heretofore commercially
because of the high cost oil
removing the carbon from the ferro-
chrome of commerce.
"a large use to which this new mater
ial can be put is in the manufacture OF
low priced automobile which will not
have to be painted, but will bear the fin
ish of FURNISHED steel

"of course this has nothing TO do
with the question of whether we are
