MANY PLANS TRIED
BY BADGER CO-OPS

Cooperative marketing organiza-
lions in Wisconsin may follow any
one of the sixteen main types of plans,
declares Theodore Macklin of the Wis
consin college of agriculture.
Not only do co-operators have these
forms to choose from, but Wisconsin
has tried all of them and many more
during the SO years cooperation has
been practiced in the state, he points
out. Four main kinds Of cooperative
marketing organizations stand out as
being particularly successful.
Local associations of farmers, or
local units so called, have built up
the creamery and cheese factory in
the state. A number Of these local
units working together in the form of
a federated cooperative organization
accomplish some services impossible
for the individual unit to render. The
Wisconsin Cheese Producers feder-
alton is such an organization.
When individual farmers instead of
local units, make up the membership
of the main selling association, the
cooperative is the centralized type.
An example is the Northern Wiscon-
sin Cooperative Tobacco pool. A
mixture of some of the features OF
these various forms of organization is
sometimes used. This is called COM
bination or mixed form. Wisconsin
has this style in the American Gran
berry exchange.
Each of these types of cooperative
organization may be incorporated in
two ways, either as capital stock
Or as non-capital stock cooperative,
After INCORPORATION, the organization
may function either on q commodity
or a variety basis. If 1t is a COM
modify organization, only one product
is handled. On variety basis, a
number OF different products are sold
through the same selling machinery.
With all these forms of doing busi-
ness to consider and examples OF their
operation to watch, Macklin believes
the farmers who expect to form CO.
operative marketing association need
to study the problem from all angles
and decide on the basis Of facts which
determine the form best fitted for
their needs. He believes the newly
formed Wisconsin cooperative mar
keting council, representing all types
of organization, is a reliable source Of
information and advice in such mat
ters as choosing cooperative mar
keting plan.

PREVENT SPREAD OF
DISEASE OF CHICKS

The method of spread or transmits.
sion of white dia-rhea is well known.
That method is this: Chicks that sur
vive the white diarrhea, contain the
organisms in their bodies and GER
tain percentage of the eggs laid by
that hen when grown are infected be-
fore Matching. The chicks come out
Of the shell with the disease and I'M
mediately show symptoms Of white
diarrhea and this spreads through
their first four days of life to all the
other chicks in the flock. During the
first four days of life, if one chick
comes out Of the batch infected others
of that particular batch will become
infected.
Prevention consists in Matching
chicks from eggs free from infection.
If your chicks get the disease, treat
ment is practically useless. Attention
would be better given to prevention
than to treatment. Kill all noticeably
diseased. Remove all free from dis
ease away from infected premises.
The only satisfactory method of de-
termining whether a hen is infected is
by means of blood test. Draw small
vial of blood from each hen that is to
be bred from. The college is testing
blood free of charge at the present
time and will soon have bulletin
available explaining this method.
The proper time to test for white
diarrhea is in the fall after culling.
Test all hens you propose to keep over
for breeding purposes. One test may
not eliminate all disease. Test at
least every year, or every six months,
until you know they are free. Do not
add to your flock any bird you do not
know to be free from this disease.
All may soon be forced to test as
people are going to stop buying indis-
criminately from hatcheries or breed
ers whose eggs come from unknown,
INFESTED stock. They will buy from
the hatchery that tests the hens that
lay the eggs. The blood test is the
only means at all satisfactory for the
elimination Of white diarrhea, as It
eliminates the hen that lays the eggs
that are infected.-Dr. 81. 3. Newsom,
Pathologist, Colorado Experiment Sta
ton.

Rotate the crops in your garden as

Immediately SO fields that are to be
put in alfalfa next year should be
lined this year, otherwise the acidity

Remedy for Scaly Leg

Scaly leg Is common summer dis
ease among poultry. 1t is caused by
a small parasite that burrows into
the scales of the birds leg, causing
them to protrude. One good way 70
cure it is to fill an empty fruit can
with coal oil and keep the legs of the
bird immersed in this for a few min
utes. If this is done twice week for
a month it will usually kill the para
sites, but it is well to supplement this
treatment by using lard as an ONT
ment for the legs.

Selecting Seed Corn

In selecting corn for seed pick ears
from stalks which yield well in COM
petition with others, are free from dis
ease, and hang at height convenient
for husking, says the United States
Department of Agriculture. Droop-
ing ears which shed rain readily usu-
ally will give the best seed, while in
the South it is necessary to choose
ears that are well protected from in
sects by long, tight husk covering
Care in selecting and handling seed
will be more than repaid in increased
corn yields.

DESTROY Weed Seeds

Thoroughly raking the garden and
burning will do much to destroy weed
seed and thus tighten the hard work
Of wedding in the hot summer months.
Many weed seeds will lie in the soil
twenty to thirty years and then grow,
but most Of them will terminate under
intensive preparation and cultivation.
So this cleaning and burning will do
more than all else to help rid the gar
den Of obnoxious weeds

Dry Place for Honey

Honey does not deteriorate in quail
1ty if it is properly cared for after
removal from the hive. 1t should
never kept in a damp place. Put it
where salt would remain dry all the
time. This should be the rule, and
no departure should ever be made
from it. It is the nature of honey to
take up water, and If allowed to re-
main in a damp place the cappings
will soon begin to weep" and it will
not be long till it's quality is injured.

Influence of Industry

Industry largely controls produc-
ton. In regulating supply it controls
markets and fixes its own prices.
Farmers, unorganized, cannot do this.
Instead of regulating supply and fixing
prices, less cost of production, farm
ers take the other fellows offer, less
all charges.-E. J. Leonard, President
Colorado State Farm Bureau.

Cost of Pure Bred Stock

Pure bred stock can be grown for
almost the same cost as common
stock When coupled with skill in
breeding and real craftsmanship in
marketing, choice animals bring large
sums-especially after they have won
q few blue ribbons. On the open mar
kets for meat, milk or wool, the well
bred animal makes a better showing
for feed and care than the mongrel,
and pays vastly bigger dividends in
pride.

Cleaning Dairy Utensils

A good method of cleaning out the
dairy pals and cans at frequent inter-
walls, to kill all bacteria and increase
the price of cream, is to use a little
I've in the water. The amount is two
tablespoonful of I've tosa gallon OF
water. The I've unites with the grease
and butterfat forming a soft soap
which dissoIves readily. This elimi-
mates sourness and makes the pals
come clean and bright with little rub
bing.

Alfalfa Is Valuable

Alfalfa is valuable for dairy cows
and growing stock on account of its
high protein content and its richness
in mineral matter. For wintering
brood sows it is also desirable. A ma
ture brood SOW that receives one pound
of corn per day per 100 pounds live
weight and all the alfalfa hay she will
eat out Of a rack will produce strong
litter of pigs. A gilt should receive a
little more corn-at least one and one
quarter pounds per day per 100 pounds
live weight.

Frogs and Toads

Frogs and toads are entitled to our
protection on account of the good they
do in destroying vast numbers of in
sects and worms. The toads do this
in the gardens and the frogs in
marshy places, where the air, on ac-
count of flies and other insects, would
be almost unfit to breathe without the
services they render. The department
of Agriculture estimates the value of
one toad to be $50 year.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON


 NEW ORLEANS, March 1.-Cotton experienced an active short session to- day and closed the week with a sharp break in prices which carried all active trading months down to new low levels for the present decline. Opening 3s to 4S points down from yesterdays close, the market continued on the down. grade throughout, except for occasional thrilling rallies. The close was at the lowest with May at 2S.o7c and July at zT.20c. Net losses for the day were 93 10 94 points on old crop months and "A to 76 on new crop positions.
 At the start Liverpool was 60 penny polnts down, or about 25 to 30 points lower than due, based on this market of Friday. The only explanation of the stump abroad, according to cables, was the weakness on this side of the At iantlc. Private cables claimed that the prospect of avoiding the lockout in Lam casnlre was good. In sympathy with the course of Liverpool the local market opening Ss to 49 points down. com paTsd with the previous close. Prices gave way rapidly during the first nalt hour of trading on old, crop months although the new crop posi- tfons were comparatively steady.
 The market then became quieter for d perloo, but values rallied little, not wtnstandtng that .advices from the in- ierlor claimed good demand for spots. New York also reported quiet, active trading in Worth Street and Fall River news was more encouraging. The weather map was generally fair and the forecast for over the belt was for fair weather.
 AS result of selling new low for the day was made on all active months. and the market. closed at the lowest of the day on the execution of numerous small orders.
 Exports for the day were large. IA 4So Daies' including S4,3S4 from Calves

CORN HIGHER ON
 WHEAT ADVANCE.
Buyers Have Advantage From Start, And Wheat Closes At

CHICAGO, March 1l-wheat- advanced in price today. helped -by announce ment thas Import duty would soon be raised ard by estimates that farm re serve stceaks are the smallest since 1918. closins suotstions were s, .trSns, ss1 E., < 0IAs July, $111h- Corn made h6& to %c gain, and Aats 7s 6Mc. In provisions, the outcome was % to 7c decline.
 Buyers had the advantage from the outset in the wheat market, and the finish was at about today's top fig ures, Demand, however, lacked. vol ume 'untn the stimulus from the tariff news was given added force through attention to prospective scarcity of do- mestic supplies. According to figures from leading authority. the United States has only 94,000,OOO bushels Of wheat teft for export and carryover, an amount 900 600 bushels less than was actually on hand July l last year. It was also estimsted that the Dakotas about sufficient wheat for seed re- qufrements. The upward tendency of the market was further emphasized by reports that the 1924 yield of winter wheat would be, 546, ,0A0 900 bushels as against 672;0oe, GOO blsheis in 1923. s.
 Corn and oats rallied in sympathy with wheat. On the upturn, all deliv- cries of corn rose to nearly the best fig ures of the season. Estimates were cur rent which suggested that farm use of corn during the winter has been about equal to that of last year. Farm disap- pearance of oatA was said to be the largest in five years. Speculative shorts in corn were eager buyers at the last, competing sharply with the chief bulls.
 Heavy deliveries of lard today on March contracts weakened the provi- sion market.

NEW CRASH IN
 COTTON VALUE Prices Are Carried Into New Low Ground For The Pres
 ent Movement .

NEW YORK, March LA continua- tion of yesterdays selling moyement in the cotton market today caused fur 'ther severe decline which carried prices fully two cents a pound below the high
 levels of Thursday and into new low ground for the movement. May con- tracts sold off to 2S.20c, or 95 points below yesterdays closing quotation, and the close was at the lowest. with the market weak. Old crop months showed net losses of 93 to 109 points, and the new crop was 45 to 55 points net lower. ,, The market opened easy at de- cline of 13 to 4s points under over- night selling orders and heavy liquida- ton promoted by weak Liverpool cables and reports of good weather in the south. After showing net losses of abo ut S5 to S5 points, the market ral- lied 20 or 25 points from the lowest on covering and trade buying to fix prices, but the demand was. readily supplied and prices weakened again later in the morning. Numerous stop orders were uncovered during the progress of the decline and local brokers attributed much of the selling to liquidation by people who had bought earlier in the provcment in the demand for cotton goods would lead to a general buying movement in raw cotton. The break to 27.95c for March and 27.5Uc for July carried the market 93 to yS points net lower on the old crop months and well under the lowest prices touched on the decline of last Tuesday. New crop months were relatively quiet. but Co., tober sold off to 25.20e, or 35 points net lower, while December broke to 24e0c, making a net decline or 55 points. Private cables said the decline in Liverpool was due to liquidation be- cause of yesterdays break in New York and complaints of poor demand. Sales of print cloths in the Fall River market for the week ended yesterday were estimated at 100000 pieces, or about double the recent average weeks business. It is reported that ocean freight room for 1000 bales of cotton has been booked for shipment out of New York for Bremen and that addi- tional room is under negotiation. Cot ton on shipboard awaiting clearance at the end of the week was estimated at 1o5,000 bales against SS,000 last year.

lag, with cotton goods manufacture re- strfcted, and the recent expansion in
 demand for hides and leather has not
 been fully held. It is a period for a
 natural lulIs in some markets, yet the practice of limiting commitments to ac- tual needs and of keeping stocks low
 remains sharply defined in about all
 lines. Frequent purchases of moderate size, rather than large individual or ders, are the rule, and it is not the com
 mon experience now, as it was at this time last year, for producers to be en- gagged well ahead. With the large con sumptive requirements, however, and with relatively little unemployment of workers, the underlying conditSons are strong. As the end of the winter ap- breaches, more interest develops in the prospects for a new season, which are considered encouraging in many branches. Even with the noteworthy activity year ago, bank clearings then did not equal the current total, and there Is not much difference in the gen. eral level of commodity prices. Ih some cases, competition for business iE head- Ing to concessions, and a narrowing of the margin of increases in wholesale quotations indicates that fewer seliArs have the advantage at present. t,e
