farmer is thinking of the economic
aspects of agriculture perhaps more
than for several decades. Situated
far from central markets, the prob
lens of transportation and marketing
of necessity are in the foreground.
The greater part Of the apple crop,
for instance, goes to eastern markets;
dairy products are marketed in Alas
ka and the Orient; Washington eggs
are sold in carload lots in the city
of New York; our cereals are sent to
Europe and the far East. The hay
surplus from the valleys is shipped
across the mountains.
Much attention to marketing and
cooperative marketing on large
scale has been the result. While we
have heard much about the coopera-
tives of California, we probably have
not realized that in few states has
the marketing Of farm products been
carried on with degree of efficiency
and success approaching that obtain
ed in Washington. This holds true
both for cooperatives and private
marketing agencies. True, there have
been failures of cooperatives of one
kind or another as well as failures
in private enterprises. This is true
in every section and in every state
when conditions are reviewed. But
rather than look at the occasional
failures, may we not have a look at
the other side? While, according to
the United States census Of 1919, 13
states surpassed Washington in the
percentage of farms which sold part
of their products through cooperative
organizations, in only one of these
for the farm making them as great
as they were for Washington ($2,751 }.
Since the census year, cooperative
marketing has increased enormously.
The number of cooperative marketing
associations now in the state run into
the hundreds. AS an illustration of
their activities, we might cite few
examples.
The Washington Cooperative Egg
and Poultry association with head
quarters at Seattle, in 1920 marketed
3,O61 1903 dozen eggs and paid the
producers $1,323, 308.24, thus averag-
ing 81 cents per dozen for all grades.
In 1921, it marketed 6,008, $40 dozen
eggs and paid producers $2,005, $685.
81, or an average for all grades of
1893 per dozen. The same association
in 1922 marketed 1885, 517 dozen eggs
and paid producers $2,229,319.58, or
an average for all grades Of 27.91
cents per dozen. By comparing these
figures with the 81 ,266. 900 dozen eggs
the total produced in the state in 1913
it would seem that this one associa-
ton is selling one-third of all the eggs
produced in this state. Indeed, so
well has this association done its work
that Washington eggs sell at a prem
ium above all middle western eggs
on the New York market and bring
larger returns than any eggs except
those from nearby fancy memories.
Production has been studied, a well
graded standard product has been
produced and such methods Of mark
citing have been adopted that the eggs
of our state are worth more than
other eggs on the same market.

YACHT MAYFLOWER TO
BURN OIL FOR FUEL

The Presidential yacht Mayfower is
to undergo expensive repairs at the
Norfolk Navy Yard. including convcr-
sion from coal into an oil burner. A
total of $118.000 is to be spent on
making her over.
BY converting the 2S-year-old naval
Yacht into an oil burner her speed and
cruising radius will be increased.
Under the law the Navy Depart
ment may expend up to 100000 on
repairs and overhaul to naval vcs-
sci without specific authorization by
Congress.
Wien the Mayflower comes out oil

summer she will be more palatial

saving from installing the oil-burning
plant will more than pay for the re-
conditioning over a period of years.
