of more than a hundred cities and
towns. in McCalPs for December.
According to Mr.. Ford. the best
policy for the farmer Is to sell
ms produce wholesale at some
terminal market, so that he may
return to his cultivating. He adds:
Reminiscent of the early mar.
ket places are the farmers mar
kets or curb markets. along some
street or in an open place set
side by the municipality for the
purpose. In some of these farm
ers still sell at retail, but often
these place develop into miniature
terminals where the farmers line
up to sell to commission mer-
chants or to retailers, hucksters
or storekeepers who act as dis.
tributors at the stalls or in diff
ferent parts of the city.
THE greatest difficulty for the
farmer who Is imbued with the
fundamental independence of one
who struggles with the soil is
that of cooperation. He is learn
ing scientific quantity production
but is still clinging to the love
of placing his products directly
in the hands of the consumer.
Moreover. present-day marketing,
is so extensive and involved, that
with all the other things he has
to accomplish. its complications
are one thing too much. He is
too far from the consumer 10
know market demands.
"By means of cooperative mar.
kettng associations. group or
farmers may employ an expert
whose business it is to know the
demand. and keep in touch with
prices. Knowing also what his
group can produce, he can place
its \products where he IL sure OF
a sale.
"This works both ways, for as
the market changes he is able to
instruct his group upon what
crops 1t should concentrate. IL
some members seem overplanted
in a product. others may be able
to change their plans and plant
something else"

from Charles z. Perkins. who was

received q part of his business

as follows:
1. Never do. or undertake to do,
yourself what can be done suffi-
GENTLY well by a subordinate.
2. Trust those under you and let
each one work out his problems.
3. Keep as much as possible out

5. Require the minutest accu-
