SOUTHERN STATES
REPRESENTATIVES, ATTEND
DISTRICT SCHOOL

Local Representatives or South
ern States Cooperative attended a
twO-day school on rendering bet
ter service to farmers, January q,
%, at Salisbury, Md
Enrolled in the training session
from this area were Mr.. and Mrs.
Philip r. Jacobs, of Lynn & Jacobs,
Milford Delaware.
Designed to bring the personnel
Of Southern States Agencies up to
date on the Cooperative's overall
program, as well as commodities
and services, the school covered
more than dozen phases of
Southern States operations as they
relate to services rendered locally.
The Cooperative's first annual
District Hybrid Corn Show also
VAS held in connection with the
meeting,
A review of the spotty but gradu-
ally Improving supply picture for
1913, and emphasis on the import
ance of being well informed and
giving farmers the best possible
service we're highlights of the
school.
Here is a brief sketch of the out
look as presented to the Agency
men:
Feed-There viii be enough feed
to go around, but it should be con-
served by feeding a balanced ration
and avoiding waste. Although pric-
es will continue high, they are fav-
Orable in relation to the prices of
farm products
Seeds-As result OF last
Springs weather, grass seeds are
plentiful, but legumes are scarce.
Fertilizer-Still short. Farmers
should order early If they expect to
get the amount and analyses they
want.
Hay-Better quality hay may be
exhausted within a few months.
Farm Supplies-Pl entiluls tires
and tribes, motor oils, greases, au-
tomObile batteries, red barn paint
and most other paints except white,
dusts, lime, spray materials, salt,
medicinals, farm freeZeTs, dOmes-
tic hot water heaters, upright-type
vacuum cleaners, electric irons,
pressure saucepans and cookers,
milking machines and separatOrs,
water systems, most barn equip
ment, poultry equipment, most
tools and hardware. Limited: liquid
petroleum products, tire chains,
permanent antifreeze, asphalt roof
ing, possibly white house paint,
stalls and stanchiOns, hay forks
and carriers, cylinder-type vacuum
cleaners, field fence, aluminium
roofing. Very Shorts refrigerators,

and so forth, that great care must
be exercised in buying them.
In dairy feed, nutrition special
lists pointed out, it's TDN (tOtal di-
gestible nutrients) that counts,
while in poultry mashes, such fac
tors as vitamins, minerals and va
riety of proteins need emphasis.
Speaking at banquet during the
school, w. G. Wysor, general man
6ger of Southern States, described
the farmer as a manufacturer
the only manufacturer who buys
his raw materials at retail and
sells his finished products at
wholesale. Individually, said Wy
sOr, the farmer is helpless to pro-
tect his economic interests. when
he goes to the market place as an
individual to purchase his supplies,
he must ask, What must pay?'
When he takes his farm products
TO market, he must helplessly ask,
What will you give me.

chasing farm supplies and market
