 Candidate Paonessa repeated sev- cral of the salient points of his campaign speeches during the week. He also declared if he were placed in the position of Bartlett he would decline to run for the reason that he believes republican mayors have their hands tied andrhat their com- missloners are appointed by agencies other than them selves.

Honor System"
Pleases Farmer
More Loyal to Marketing
Bodies Than ''Ironclad"
Contracts.

Cooperative marketing organiza-
lions of farmers throughout the coun-
try are rapidly dropping the so-ealled
ironclad contracts by which their
members have been bound in the past
and are adopting an ''honor system"
which will allow farmers to withdraw
from membership at will.
This is the extensive movement re-
yealed by Fred Wilmarth, marketing
expert, in an article written for the
Farm Journal. Mr.. Wilmarth in a ma
tion-wide survey mas found that SO CO.
operative associations now favor the
plan which will allow members to
withdraw at will, as against 20 that
present objections.
He predicts that the scoops" will
grow stronger both in loyalty and
membership in the future with the OBJ
ligatory membership clause abolished
than under the plan which bound the
members to abide by the OrganiZa-
tons rules for periods of from five
to seven years.
SOHlpbtSiOu WCilDSt
Such outstanding organizations as
the California Fruit Growers and the
Dairymen's league are among those
who feel that the cooperative plan is
now so firmly established that com
pulsory membership of dissatisfied
members will be more a hindrance
than an aid in the future, he points
out.
1T must be admitted that the bind
ing feature presented a powerful ap-
peal in the organization period of
many co-operatives," says Mr.. Will
marth. 1.-THE idea of making the other
fellow stick went over with bang.
Then, too, it gave the new organiZa.
tons a certain air of permanency that
was doubtless of value in the begin
Ming But as an instrument to actual
~ bind members to deliver their prod
uct it hasn't worked according to
specifications.
81 believe it will be borne out by
most of those connected with the now
operating associations that the mem
Der who is delivering his product is
doing it because he wants to and be-
cause he believes in cooperative mar
keting, rather than because he thinks
he'll be sued if he doesn't deliver.
American Trait.
This is peculiarly an American
trait. We do what we want to do.
and it rifles us to be told that we have
to do anything. Contracts are neces-
sary, to be sure. But the idea of
forcing members to stick to their or
ganization by threat of court action Is
of little effect.
Neither can it be argued longer
that the 'ironclad' feature is necessary
to establish the permanency of the Co
operatives" his Farm Journal article
concludes. Those that are in success
full operation are successful through
plain business merit"

1t is more important to plant when
the land is right than when the moon
is right.
Sweet clover has no equal as COM
bined soil building, weed fighting, pas
ture and hay crop.
If killed at an early stage, weeds
have not the opportunity to sap the
ground of moisture and plant nutri-
ents.
The careless manner in which barn,
yard manure is often handled suggests
that its value as a fertilizer and the
manner in which it deteriOrates when
exposed to teaching and fermentation
are not fully appreciated.
The secret of weed control in the
vegetable garden and with other Guilt
waited crops is to destroy these pests
while they are young.
Every garden should have an herb
border. Plant sage for the beauty of
its foliage as well as for its flavor. 1t
is an excellent gray-leaved plant for
the flower garden.
Let US take the very best possible
care of our barnyard manure for no
matter how one may figure, ii is too
valuable to allow large percentage
of 1t to go to waste.
The old farm with old methods was

Best Breeding Age for
Heifers Used in Dairv

The age at which the heifer should
come into milk depends somewhat on
the breed to which she belongs and the
rapidly of development of the indi-
vidual. In all herds there are some
heifers which mature more slowly than
others. and it is well to postpone
breeding of backward animals two or
three months.
Production of milk has an important
influence on growth and development,
and too early breeding is apt to result
in undersiZe, and this in turn is re-
fiected in the productive ability of
the animal.
Normally developed animals should
be bred at the following ages:
Holsteins ..............19 to II months
Ayrsh1reS ..............lSt to Il months
Guernseys 1T to 10 months
Jerseys ................lo 10 IL months
These figures are based on study
of the production records of the cows
in the herd of the University of Mis-
souri, and further information on
Ayrshire cattle contained in Maryland
Station Bulletin 217.
