American Cooperative
Societies Growing Fast
(From The Thrift Magazine)

The assertion, based on govern
mental figures, that the producers
and consumers cooperative organiza-
tions of the world are annually buy
ing and selling commodities Qargely
foodstuffs) exceeding $S00,000,000 in
value calls attention to the present
power and influence of the coopera-
tive movement, particularly in the
United States, says writer in The
Thrift Magazine.
In England it is said the Coopera-
tors Society has 3,5OO,OO0I members,
selling and buying practically every
commodity, without the aid of mid
dlemen.
1t is not known how many men,
bers the thousands Of societies Of all
types in the United States contain,
but the number is believed TO be
close to one million and it is prob
able that the amount of business
done in dollars and cents will annual
ly reach between three and five
hundred million
1t is we'll known that the societies
of Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska and
Wisconsin do business in each state
far exceeding $1,000,000 year. In
10 different states totals of more
than million have been reported
as the annual volume of business.
In 12 states the sales average over
100000 per society. In only seven
states, in which government figures
fall below $4,000 per society The
government figures indicate that
among the societies reporting the an
nual business averages about $37S
per member, but it is not known
whether these sales are only to
members exclusively
In Minnesota Al per cent of the
farmers use cooperative selling or
ganizations. In South Dakota the
percentage is 27 of the total of the
farms in the state; in Nebraska it
is 26; Wisconsin, %; North Dakota,
%; California, 21; Kansas, 20; and
Iowa, 90 The federal census figures
also show that more than per cent
of the farmers in the country are
purchasing supplies through their CO.
operative associations.
Kansas and Nebraska are the lead
ing states from a cooperative point
of view as respects numbers of So
cieties. Kansas has 1875 per cent of
the total in the United States.
The farmers grain elevator is op-
Grating extensively in the central
and northwest. There are about
5000 Of these cooperative elevators
in existence in the country. Most

HOUSEHOLD HINT

Toast helps the housewife to use
up leftovers or to make expensive
delicacies go further.
When serving a creamed dish on
toast, the housewife should use a
cream sauce OF moderate thickness
and the crisper kind of toast. When
this is done the toast absorbs some
getting the least bit tough.
Agnes Santly's New York millinery
shop isn't decorated in black and

Mrs. Sanity says it makes people

|of them have been built within the
last 20 years.
In Kansas the State Branch of
Farmers unions has nearly 700 locals
formed within the last Is years.
These unions run elevators, stores,
and many other organizations. They
are said to do a business in excess
of $150,000,000 a year About 600
cooperative societies in Kansas do
an annual business of close to $780,
100000
Another interesting form of con-
sumers cooperation in the United
States is seen in the farmers fire
insurance companies, Of which there
are about 1000 Of the mutual type,
carrying insurance in excess of five
and half billion dollars on property
values at about seven billion dollars.
This insurance is carried, it is said,
at one-half the rate charged by COM
mercial companies.
A unique cooperative movement in
the United States was started some
years ago in New York City 1t con-
ducts schools which are organized,
owned and administered by the stu
dents The students are the con-
sumers, who hire the teachers who
work absolutely under the direction
of the students These institutions
are said to be very successful and
have shown marked progress.
The upward swing of the present
cooperative movement began about
1890, when a few cooperative grain
elevators appeared in the Central
West. Next came cooperative cream
cries and cheese factories, also fruit
growers organizations. The latter
appeared in California as early as
1886. Later fruit and truck ex-
changes began to appear in the East.
Cooperative shipping of livestock be-
gan in Illinois in 1899.
The greatest results in cooperative
organization work have been attained
since 1910. Only recently has the
federal government taken much cog
nizance of the development, but in
the future it will be necessary for
both city, state and federal census
bureaus to record all possible lnfor-
nation regarding cooperative organ
izations.

of smoke and other fumes are released.
To handle the tremendous volume of
smoke and gases the engineers of the
Anaconda Copper Mining Company,
operating the worlds largest copper
Ismelter at Anaconda, Montana, devised
special kind of chimney, made from
special kind of brick, that would be
big enough to provide sufficient draft
for the many immense furnaces and
tall enough to prevent the smoke and
gases spelling the atmosphere in the
surrounding locality.
The result was the 'big stack" OF

dicated by the fact that the Washing
ton Monument, if dropped inside,
would disappear from sight.
The hues which carry the smoke to
this big chimney form dust chambers,
in which sulphur, arsenic, and the fine
dust carried off from the furnaces
which still contains little copper, are
collected. At the base of the big
stack" there is cottrell smoke treat
ment plant, which extracts, by means
of electricity. all of the fine dust which
has not settled in the dust chambers,

stances which might damage nearby
vegetation, and allowing only harmless
smoke to escape from the top of the
stack.
The sulphurous fumes transformed
by a process into sulphuric acid are
used to leach out the copper content
from heaps of waste discarded in pre-
vious years, in which the copper would
otherwise be lost, and are also used in
tire eating phosphoric rock, which the
company mines in Idaho and at Ana

tilizer known as treble superphosphate.
The arsenic as arsenious oxide, kills
the boil weevil and helps to make

ing demonstration plots this sea,
SON. The results were reported by
). 3. Fracker, State Entomologist
at the meeting of the state potato
growers association at Stevens
Point last week.
These demonstration plots, con-
slstlng of two acres each were To-
Gated IN Forest, Oneida, Waupaca,
and Portage counties. They were
parts of the fields of large potato
producers and in every case the
Bordeaux-spayed fields showed an
increase in yield over those which
were sprayed with arsenicals alone.
The demonstrations were conduct
ed Jointly by E. L. Chambers, as
slstant entomologist. of the Wis
consln Department of Agriculture,
and c. L. Fluke, of the Depart
ment of Economic Entomology of
the Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton.
Potatoes of the Triumph variety
at Blackwells, in Forest county,
showed an increase as a result of
the Bordeaux mixture spraying of
sixteen bushels per acre, the spray
ed plot yielding 1853 bushels, the
unsprayed 142. At Rhinelander, in
Oneida county the Bordeaux-spray-
ed plots yielded 800 bushels of
Green Mountains per acre, while
those sprayed only with poison
yielded 260 bushels. The Cobblers
at Blackwells when sprayed with
Bordeaux yielded 280 bushels per
acre as against 220 when the
poison alone was used, an increase
of so bushels an acre for the
Bordeaux-sprayed plot.
The differences in the case of
the Rural New Yorker variety
were less, although the early plant
ed fields at Amherst showed an
increase Of 81 bushels per acre
(from lat to 1881 as a result of
Bordeaux spraying. On the other
hand, the late planted Rurals at
Viola, in Waupaca county, show
ed an increase of only four bushels
per acre.
In all cases the total yield was
reduced by the early frosts so
that the yields of both Bordeaux
sprayed and acknowledgement po-
tatoes are much less than last
year. The increase in yield is
greater than was anticipated by
the department, as the leafhopper
was less injurious and arrived lat
er this year than it has for the
past five years.
