Formation of the Ohio Coopera-
tive Poultry Producers, as non-profit
membership association, has been
recommended by a special committee
of poultry producers, appointed by
the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation.
The new association is recommended
as cooperative sales agency, to
serve poultry and egg producers of
the state in getting their products
to market through cooperative chan
nels. 1t will probably be formed un-
der Ohio's new cooperative market
ing law, which takes effect next
month. The contract system between
the individual producer and sales
agency will probably be used. Among
provisions which are expected to be
put in, are that only infertile eggs
will be sold through the cooperative
during warm weather All eggs 60
ing through the cooperative sales
agency must be clean, unwashed
eggs, collected twice daily and kept
in cool place. A penalty is sug-
gested for breaking.
AS soon as the thermometer
crawls up above the 70 mark, fertile
eggs begin to incubate, and at a
temperature between 80 and 100 de-
lgrees, they deteriorate rapidly In
fertile eggs keep far better in warm
weather, and on practically every
large poultry farm it is now COM
mon practice to swat the rooster late
in June, or early in July, and to mar
ket infertile eggs.
Northwestern Ohio farmers say
that hay sings are as far ahead of
the hay harpoon as the harpoOn is
ahead of pitching the load off by
| c1i 1inC lob n q
load in three hoists.
Soybeans as an emergency hay
crop may be sown as late as the first
of July, and if cut when the rods
are forming and properly cured,
make excellent hay for milk cows
and growing cattle.
Average total sales of cooperative
farmers elevators in Ohio run about
$S5,OOO a year, if figures brought
out in detailed study Of audit rec
ords of % farmers exchanges in
Ohio, made by the auditing Depart
ment of the Ohio Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton, can be taken as typical of
the business of other elevators.
While these farmers elevators are
often spoken of as grain elevators,
the study shows that the total mer-
chandise sales of the average cooper
ative elevator runs to a greater total
than the grain department of the
business.
Livestock producers of Ohio are
making preparations for the estab-
/ lishment of their third cooperative
commission association. This firm,
to be set up on the Pittsburgh mar
ket, will be similar to those already
operating at Buffalo and Cleveland.

moving a large traction engine be-
longing to r. w. Barnes of Zanes-
vile, it broke through the small

E. A. Barnes, demolishing the bridge
and stopping traffic and causing
detour around the bridge. The en-
