COOPERATIVE MARKETING

Eleven thousand three hunrd red
and eighty grower members market
ed vegetables through sixty-two
cooperative associations in twelve
northeastern states in 1929, accord
ing to survey made jointly by the
Federal Farm Board, state agricul-
tural colleges, experiment stations,
extension forces, and departments ri
agriculture. Sales of vegetables
were the major part of the business
in forty-two cooperative associations
In ten other associations, which
marketed. vegetables, other farm
products, principally fruits, made up
the greater part of the sales. Ten
additional associations marketed
vegetables, but the major portion of
their business was farm supplies,
The total business handled by
these sixty-two coopertives amount
ed to 81; 653, $50 from vegetables, and
50, 489, $40 from other farm products.
In Maryland the vegetables handled
by cooperative marketing associa-
tons amounted to 1871, 800.
Mushroom sales, sometimes to 3d.
500, 900, representing the business of
single association located in Pen
nsylvania, were larger than the sale
of any other vegetable, and repre-
scented 1877 per cent of the coopera-
tive sales of all vegetables in the
northeastern states. This also repre-
sents the greater part of the mush-
room production in the northeastern
states.
Potatoes handled by the sixty-two
associations aggregated $1,039, 667,
and from the standpoint of cash farm
income exceeded all other vege-
tables, representing 5l.8 per cent of
cash income from all vegetables in
the states surveyed in 1929.

NEW SCHOOL IDEAS

September's school bells will ring
out the old, ring in the new, in send
ing children to school if the Child
ren's Bureau has its way.
Gone will be the patient mother
who washes little faces, combs half
dozen heads of hair, buttons clothes
and laces. shoes.
All these things, bureau experts
claim, even four-year-old can do
for himself, given a convenient hair
cut, buttons in front, and big enough
button-holes.
Instead of doing things for the
child that he could learn to do for
himself, the proper parent will de-
vote some attention to how junior
will psychologically fit into the
school regime, the bureau sets forth.
Mother is admonished to stop and
think what kind of mind her child
has, using these questions: Is he
very bright? He is quick but care
less. Is he slow but careful? Is
he slow but careful? Is he quick
with head but slow with his hands?
Is he slow in every way?
"You must know these things!"
the Bureau emphasizes. 'Tf he is
not as bright as Johnny, remember
that is not his fault. Do not say,
why can't you be like johnny
He will get discouraged and stop
trying.
Cor you may be afraid your child
will think he is smart and want to
Show off because he is bright. So
you tell him he is stupid. That is
bad too. He will believe you, and
stop trying to learn. /"
Many suggestions were given by
the Bureau for teaching children how
to be independent enough to get
themselves off for school in the
morning and to maintain self-respect
while there.
"Give him box to stand on in
front of the wash basin so he can
wash his face and hands. Mark with
colored stitching the front outside of
his underwear so he won't put it on
backside-to and wrong-side-out.
Give him clothes that are easy to
put on.
Let him use tools. Try to make
him think for himself.
when he finds that something is
hard to do, do not say before him,
he takes after me, l never could
learn to jump, or he takes after his
father. He breaks everything he
tries to fix When you say this,
you are teaching him that it is of no
use to try. Probably he could do it
very well after little while if you
let him try

RURAL NON-FARMING POP.
ULATION INCREASES

The number of farm folk fell dur
ing the past decade, but the rapid
rise OF the ruralite was subject of a
special announcement blythe Census
Bureau.
Rural non-farm" population was
the title given to these new country
jewellers who do not till the soil.
They are those in the beyond the
city-limits estate, the inhabitants of
the "unincorporated places"
They number %, 662, 7lO. Of them
the census bureau said: ''While the
total population of the United States
increased 1871 per cent between 1920
and 1880, and the rural-farm popula
ton decreased 3.8 per cent, the rural
non-farm population showed an in
crease of IS per cent"
F. A. Gosnell, chief of the publ ca.
tons division, ascribed the increase
to improved living conditions in rural
areas enabling many city dwellers to
move into the country and commute,
and to Capitalization of schools which
has prompted many farmers to retire
and move closer to the nearest con.
solidated high school to educate his
children.

Today every man who served in
any of our wars before the World
War is receiving pension. Soon
all the World War veterans will be
on the pension roll. Employees in
the civil service of the Federal
Government now get pensions at
the age of 70. Most states provide
pensions for dependent mothers.
Many states have old-age pension
systems. Nearly all school systems
now retire aged teachers on pensions.
Many industries pension old employ
es. Firemen, policemen and other
municipal employees in the big cities
all get pensions after a given term
of service.
Much of the worry of middle age
would be eliminated if everybody
could look forward to a peaceful old
age not dependent upon charity.

 The Teuton titlist expressed ad- miration for his challenger, but was confident of his own ability to '..be champion in fact as well as in name by a knockout victory Above all he wants the esteem of America as a heavyweight king worthy of wearing the crown.
 "Stribling is a great defensive fighter, but occasionally he leaves himself open. That will cost him July 3. 1 am in better shape now that 1 was three weeks before ] fought either Sharkey or Pauline, and I will be in there throwing leather as long as the Georgian can take it. The fight will not last the scheduled fifteen rounds"
 Undisturbed by reports from Geauga Lake, O., of new Stribling, a challenger both aggressive and dangerous, the champion is going about the business of getting ready methodically. For it is a business with Schmeling, who enters each workout determined to improve his attack.
 How He Works.
 q never plan an attack before a fiEhte," Schmeling said. "l want 10 feel my opponent out before l lay plans for my own offensive. I see Stribling in every sparring partner meet. If the catcher is shifty and hard to hit I time my blows for a moving target. If he flashes fast left I take a few. and then bore Tn to return the compliment"
 The Receiving Department.
 Joe Jacobs, the champions man axer. has a steady stream of part ners coming and going from the Schmeling battle front.

TRIBES BAT OUT
 7TO4 WIN OVER WASHINGTON HILLS
Garage Boys Humble the Hearts lz to Brook lyns Win 4 to 1 in n Innings

Two bad innings plus nine "boots" by the reputedly smooth working Washington Hills was re- sponsible for a tingling to win scored by the Tribune A. C.. array yesterday afternoon at Hamilton park. Of the 1000 fans who watched the tussle not dozen gave the Tribes a chance to upset the Hills, who have shown a nice ball team to date, yet the lads. from lower Baldwin street punched out ten hits off Tom Purcell and John- ny Jablonowski to win in convinc-- ing fashion. IT, M~
 Jack siatterys' crew went to work in the very first inning. banging out enough hits to score twice while holding the Tribes without run until the last of the third. Then things began to happen. Joe Doyle, who let the Hills down with nine hits and yielded a wicked willow himself, started things for the Tribes with a slashing double in the third. Directly afterward, Rinaldi, Kane and Purcell tossed the ball around so queeriy that the Kerwin cohorts tied the count. But that was only a mild headache for Hill players and fans, compared with what was to come.

 And it was not long in coming. The nephews of Al the Fireman were blanked in the fourth. Then the peppery Shamrocks came to the bat again. A single by Duleskis, sacrifice by Gilmore and boot by Kane put two on the. bags. Patty Slattery outran the throw from tho infield filling the sacks. Lacilla flied out. but Doyle stepped up to the dish and smacked one over third which scored two runs. A squeeze play sent Slattery home. Bowen got on when Larry Mullen juggled one, Doyle scoring. Flahcrty came through with single, which brought in the fifth run of the eHin- ming. on a bad peg to second by Paul Doran. Purcell was taken out for Jablonowski att his point while the Tribes looked at seven big runs in the scorcbook. The game was nip and tuck from the fourth inning to the finish. the Hills get ting a run in the ninth. which was plenty short of what they needed to tie the Tribes. Doyle stood out for the winners. practically win ming his own game. The score:
