! together with the county agent, com
pose an executive committee which
is responsible for the management
of the spray ring during the year
The executive committee purchased
the sprayer, employs the operator
works out the routes and is respon.
sible for the sprayers.
The initial cost of the sprayer was
made on a round assessment on the
per tree basis and cost 21 cents pei
per tree in unit number two. The
constitution of the spray ring pro-
vides that should any member drop
out, II some one could not be found
to replace him, he would be paid OF
and the cost reasessed among the
other members. This has not oc-
Cured SO far. The greatest difficulty
has been to have to refuse the few
neighbors who were skeptical at first
and who now, having seen one years
work of the spray ring, are clamor-
ing to come in.
An operator was employed by the
executive committees for each unit,
and did the spraying for the entire
season. Each member provides a
team or tractor to pull the sprayer
and helper to drive. He delivers
the sprayer to the next one on the
route and pays for the operators
time, figured on the beginning of his
operation until the sprayer is de-
livered to the next member. The
route is reversed for each trip so as
to give each member priority of the
sprayer. A spray record card is
filled out in duplicate after each
spray operation and one given to the
member and the other to the secre-
tary of the unit. The spray record
card tells what time the operator
started, what time he finished,
amount of material used, fuel, etc.
The secretary records this in book,
so that we have complete summary
Of materials, costs, etc., for each
member.
The average time of spraying
varied with each member, according
20 the size of the trees, proximity of
water, lay of the orchard, etc., but
he general average was around
,hree hours to get over a hundred
rec orchard. Many of the delays
last year will be over
,ome this year by better planning
Ind also by the use of motor tank |
iller
The average fuel cost for the sea-
ION was 1.9 cents per tree and the
operators expense GA cents per tree. /
COST of repairs was assessed the
members at the end of the season
md amounts to a quarter of cent
'er tree.
AS most of the members had pur-
hased their spray materials, no eff
ort was made to purchase this CO.
'peratively, which accounts for the
vide variation in costs of spray ma
erial per tree, which averaged all
he way from to II cents. This
will be overcome this year, as the
ecords will show the exact amount
+ materials used and thus permit
hese to be bought wholesale at the
eginning at the season.

SECTION OWES
PROSPERITY TO DAIRYING

Among the fifty leading agricul-
tural counties of the United States
in the combined value of their farm
crops and livestock products, the
only Minnesota county represented
is Ottertail whose crops and live
stock products amount to nearly
$21, 100000 in one year, according
to a story which appeared in a recent
issue of the Minneapolis Tribune.
Dairying is the predominant farm
ing activity in that county. Its
twenty-five creameries make an
nually 5,682,937 pounds butter,
which sells for more than $4,000
900. These creameries paid their
patrons in 1922 a total of $1,831,-
394 in cash, or nearly 80 per cent of
all the money they took in.
An interview with some of the
dairymen of that county failed to
reveal any hard luck, stores. For
example, A. l.. Whiting, who milks
twenty-four Holstein cows, had an
income last year from milk sales
alone of $5,066.29 Another repre-
sentative dairyman is M. G. Krone
man. The Fergus Falls Creamery
list shows that he received $1,419.89
in cash for the product of eleven
Holstein cows, five of which were
heifers. He sells breeding stock be-
sides in different parts of the north
west.
E. W. Molter is another prosper
Gus dairyman in this county. His
creamery checks last year amounted
to $1,704.7S. He rents the farm he
occupies on a fifty-ffty basis. The
William Wright herd of thirty-fiye
Holsteins brought an income from
the same creamery of $1,982.07. An
idea of the manner in (which this
creamery distributes wealth can be,
obtained from the list of patrons,
who received more than $1,000, 200
'or butterfat last year. There are
sixty of them, besides four in the
whole milk department. Fourteen
If them had a yearly income of over
1900, which came to them regu-
arly in monthly installments.

HOW ONE COMMUNITY
SOLVED A BIG PROBLEM
By MILES H. FAIRBANK

oy 4hlhGO II. Il AlhDA1Nh
When the farm bureau local wa
organized at Pfeiffer's Corner, dow
in Howard county, Maryland the,
Chat is the members,) immediatel.
turned their attention towards
program of work. The members o
the Pfeiffer's Corner local ar,
among those who believe that thu
farm bureau is an organization tina
should be used to improve agricul
ture from production as well al
an economic standpoint. They are
live bunch. those fellows, and they
knew that they had much cleaning
up to do In their own backyard be-
fore they howled around about
prices, taxes and the rest.
So, together with the writer, q
program committee sat down one
day last winter to map out a pro.
gram of work. The proceedings OF
that day need not be recorded.
There were arguments, few
storms and several amusing Incl
dents, and late that afternoon the
meeting adjourned, but not before
working out a very comprehensive,
not to mention, ambitious program
to be taken up during the coming
year.
Neither do we need to discuss the
various phases of that program.
Practically all of the projects were
carried out. Now looking back on
the years work, it is apparent that
the project that achieved greatest
success and accomplished the great
est good was the cooperative spray
ring.
Pfeiffer's Corner is a community
of small orchard owners. Practically
all. of the farmers in that part of
Howard county depend on their
truck crops and fruit as a principal
source Of income. And yet, while
they knew from practical experience
the value of spraying, very few
orchards ever received a full COM
plete spray schedule. The reasons
for this were the same as those con-
fronting any owner of small farm
orchard. First, they could only af-
ford to use small barrel outfits,
which even at the best, can be ex-
pected to give only average results
The biggest problem, however, is to
find time to put on the summer
sprays during the rush of farm work
All of these problems are overcome
by the spray ring.
The spray ring as organized had
seventeen members with a total of
$500, trees and consisted of two
units, each operating power
sprayer. The original plan was to
purchase one sprayer, but the organ
ization committee soon found that
too much for one sprayer, hence the
second unit. Unit number one con-
sists OF 1900 trees and is taken care
of by a Hayes sprayer, 200 gallon
with eight gallon per min
ute delivery. Unit number two has
1900 trees and a Meyers 100 gallon
tank sprayer.
The organization has for its Of
fcers, president, a treasurer and
secretary in each unit. These men.
