Right on top Of our discussion Of
cooperative marketing last week,
comes Fredrick Haskins of Washing
ton, ID. G. with his fourteen points
which he declares must be digested be-
fore we can be in q fit state Of mind
to sign up with a cooperative associa-
tion. A careful study Of his article
conveys the idea that market asso-
ciatiOn will be regular League Of
Rations" and that we've got to know
lot about q lot of things before we
can even comprehend its magnitude.
Following Immediately after the
League of Rations" idea, is another
speech by Lieutenant Governor Rock
well, in which he declares cooperative
marketing to be the most available
Moses to lead US out Of q debt laden
wilderness at the present time. Just
as We get thru saying amen, he gives
us the shivers by coming out against
good roads by declaring himself in
favor of a repeal of the road tax.
We infer that the dumping of that
half-mill levy now used 10 create u
road fund, will give US plenty of
money to finance our gardens and
meadows sufficiently to meet any
market demand. Mighty big idea he
has Of the economic value of that hal
mill, don't you think?
But, as school boy said recently,
our feelings grew Exam and plakid"
when high road official in nearby
state, noted for its progress in road
building, stated that the farmers of
his state have increased their produce
sales to the nth degree because OF the
good roads facilitating transportation.
or course good roads cost money;
and 80 does every other thing. But
il it is our bounden duty to jump into
show our loyalty to the principle in
volved In cooperation-greatest good
to the greatest number-why cease to
cooperate in the good roads project?
/ While lying awake nights wonder
ing If we've got to do our trucking
over graveled roads or trails filled
/, with ruts and ridges, oil is suddenly
poured over the tumbled mass of "Be
| il therefore enacted" clause. Holding
the cTuet of healing balm is the emin-
i eat Emile Coue, who in an interview
the other day, "said 1t with flowers"
a:.i landed out bouquet to the
women of the country, not excepting
the farmers "Wimodsusis" (wives,
mothers, daughters, sisters). 1t was
wonderful bundle of flowers, in fact,
we couldn't have picked out any better
ourselves. He said it had been his
observation :''that the women of the
United States were much more active
intellectually, and more studious than
the men,"
Hence without being any further
sycho-analyzed, the members of the
farmers "Wimodausis" fraternity may
at least rest securely on their oars
and let the boat of market uncertainty
rock as it will for the present, and to-
gether with Coue hold the thought that
the understanding and intellectual ac-
tivity of those who are now engaged
in making our laws may "get better
and better every day in every way"
There is new plan, recently put
into vogue and used to emphasize the
value Of the commodity placed on the
market-that Of furnishing an auth
oritive pedigree with every article
A new broom sweeps clean, even the
lightweight mail order variety. Hence
this Pedigree System is worth c0nsid-
ering. We may have to come to il
next summer when we place our let
tuce, tomatoes, wheat or hay before
the market inspectors to see If they
measure up to Uncle Sans standard
For the benefit Of live stock markets
inspectors these pedigree slips have
long been used. We may have to at
tach them to our peaches, plums and
potatoes. Who knows?
The film folks, to q great extent
aopted the system several seasons ago
