AIDS IN COOPERATION The growing feeling that there is too much difference between the price paid to the producer of food and the price paid by the consumer has turned the attention of American farmers more and more to cooperative marketing associations as a promising remedy. Producers of perishable products have advanced the furthest in this direction, and the best organized cooperative marketing associations are now to be found among the California citrus fruit growers and among the deciduous fruit growers of the Pacific Northwest. In general, it may be said that the most promising field for such associations is in the marketing of highly specialized and localized crops. The work of the marketing associations includes the establishing of grades and standards; the adoption of brands and trade marks; the securing of capital and credit; proper advertising to encourage consumption of a meritorious but little known product; discovery of new and extension of old markets; securing information as to crop and markets conditions; the equitable division of profits; adapting production to meet market requirements; the use of by-products; securing cold and common storage facilities; the cooperative buying and manufacturing of supplies; cooperative use of expensive farm machinery; securing of lower freight rates, more equitable refrigeration charges, and more efficient transportation service; the securing of more and better labor; and the general cultivation of a spirit of cooperation in all community affairs. These objects can not be achieved without strong, capable management. If a farmer has not sufficient faith in the cooperative idea to go into the enterprise with his whole heart to best practices, they will sap the energy brains and spirit of the officers, exhaust the moral and financial strength of the underaking and reduce the whole to a state of miserable failure and ruin. COUNTY FAIRS The county agricultural fair is, at least nominally, held for the upbuilding of agriculture and to lead up to such ideals as will elevate, inspire, educate and broaden the thought and activities of the rural people. There is a decided tendency among the promotors of many county fairs to make them what they should be—truly agricultural. A good fair is one that entertains and educates. It must do both. It should be an agricultural exhibition essentially; also fundamentally useful to intelligent, practical farmers and their families. It may also be made entertaining in the highest sense. People will attend a fair if there is anything interesting and beneficial worth going to see. There are many ways to make it so, among them: Appoint directors and superintendents because of their willingness to work, ability to accomplish results, and not to fill honorary positions. Exclude all morally objectionable side shows, all gambling devices, all catch penny swindlers, and all vendors of worse than useless trash. Offer liberal well proportioned prizes for the best exhibits of farm, orchard, and garden products; also afford exhibitors every reasonable facility to make exhibits attractive. Offer properly classified prizes for the best live stock and poultry shown, and arrange, as far as possible, adequate means for their care and protection and for inspection by visitors.

These objects can not be achieved without strong, capable management. If a farmer has not sufficient faith in the cooperative idea to go into the enterprise with his whole heart, to hold up energetically the hands of the manager and work disinterestedly for the success of the association as a whole, he had better not become a member, for he will be far from a source of comfort to his partners. The manager should be employed by the board of directors and should have large powers. He should employ and discharge all labor. He should secure information as to crop and market conditions and furnish same to the members on request. He should encourage the production of the best varieties of products demanded by the trade. He should conduct packing schools, in order that growers may become trained in the best methods of grading, packing and labelling their products. He should have charge of the grading, packing, and inspection of all association products, and should have control of the brands and labels, and their use on the association packages, in accordance with the rules of the association. He should enter into contracts for the sale of the association goods. He should have entire charge of the marketing of all association goods, subject only to the action of the board of directors and the by-laws of the association. He can not be held responsible if he is to be dictated to at will by each member or the officers are constantly to meddle with his work. This does not imply that the manager should be a dictator. From the suggestions of the officers and members together with those from his own experience he constructs a business plan. Whenever a manager loses the confidence of the members, it is better to replace him with a manager who possesses that confidence. But no manager, however competent he may be, can lead a cooperative association to success unless he has real cooperation from the members. In cooperative circles the disloyal member is the chief element of failure. It would appear that owing to the catch penny swindlers, and all vendors of worse than useless trash.

Whenever a manager loses the confidence of the members, it is better to replace him with a manager who possesses that confidence. But no manager, however competent he may be, can lead a cooperative association to success unless he has real cooperation from the members. In cooperative circles the disloyal member is the chief element of failure. It would appear that owing to the very fine principal of mutual help involved, those forming a cooperative organization would be consistently loyal in their mutual relationship. But, on the other hand, unless exceptional care is exercised by the leaders an organizaton from the beginning will be burdened with dornes cheas, deadbeats, and traitors. When a grower joins a cooperative organization and then refuses to patronize it, he is a drone. He can not excuse himself even on the ground of bad management, for it is his duty to help secure proper conduct of the business. If in selling through his organization a producer endeavors to pass off shoddy, poor grade products, which injure the reputation of the body of which he is a member, he is a cheat. The member who uses the special and private information of the association in making sales outside, without contributing to its support is a deadbeat. The man who joins a cooperative enterprise and then through subtle ways endeavors to obstruct its progress and defeat its purposes is a traitor. Those experienced with cooperative orgainzations have known all these types. They are to be found in practically every community. They are the greatest enemies of agriculture and agricultural cooperation. If allowed to dominate with their dishonor POOR CLOVER SEED STILL IMPORTED Since July 25, 1915, 26 lots of crimson clover seed have been imported. In three of these lots, containing enough seed to sow over 2,850 acres there was no seed that could be expected to grow under field conditions. The seed in five other lots, aggregating enough to sow 8,600 acres, germinated only from 45 per cent to 55 per cent. The importation of this seed of low germination imported during May and June makes it more important than ever that farmers should know the germination of the crimson clover seed they are seeding. As the department of agriculture is without power to prevent the admission of seed of low germination, unless particular attention is given to the germination of crimson clover seed this fall many crop failures are sure to result from sowing dead seed. Senator Kern believes that Congress ought to meet in order to give the Senate a chance to amend its procedure by adopting a cloture rule, before the business of the regular session is taken up. That is certainly a queer reason for summoning Congress to Washington.

He tells us that unless the Senate can put a gag on debate the democrats will not be able to pass any of the legislative relief measures they have planned. Isn't this an astonishing confession of incapacity, considering the number and magnitude of the party measures enacted by the Sixty-third Congress, with free debate in the Senate? And for more than a hundred years, from the beginning in fact, Republicans and democrats both have carried out their programs under the Senate's characteristic parliamentary code.

A CHAMPION FARMER Dewey Gaines of near Arcanum, O., is the champion wheat grower of the United States, although he is but 17 years of age. He has not raised more wheat than any other grower. What makes him the champion is that on five acres of land, he has raised this year 278 bushels of wheat, making the yield per acre 55 2-3 bushels. The average wheat yield per acre in the United States is 16 bushels. Study of soil and seeding, and study of everything entering into the most careful and intelligent cultivation, explain the result. If it be said that such intense personal application by growers would be impossible on larger tracts of land, the fact will have to be admitted to some extent. Subdivision of labor would then be necessary, and there would be failure at some points to apply the energy and intelligence needed. But the success of Dewey Gaines makes it very plain that improved methods of farming wheat, even under a wide sub-division of labor, could at least double the average yield of wheat per acre. Dewey Gaines has proved the same thing in corn. A year or two ago he raised 139 bushels of corn per acre, which is so very far above the average yield as to show conclusively that, by applying approved processes of agriculture, even negligence and unintelligence in a part of a large working force could not make the average yield fall below double what it is now.

RICHARD MELROSE, Executor of the last Will and Testament of Carrie J. Coulter, deceased. Anaheim Union Water Co. Run No. 3 AMERICAN SUGAR The United States ought to produce its own sugar. Germany gets sugar enough from the beet to supply its own people, and in normal times has a surplus for export. In making sugar Germany leads all countries. Yet the United States grows cane as well as beets, and its per capita consumption of sugar is much larger than that of any other people. Our sugar industry has been subject to a vacillating policy, and it is now in a state of suspense. According to the present democratic law the duties on sugar will cease May 1, next. They now bring $60,000,000 a year to the national treasury, and that is running behind as matters stand. The new congress that meets in December will have this problem on hand, or, rather, two problems, one the demand for more revenue, and the other that of protective duties. If the question were left to the democrats of Louisiana and the beet growing states the sugar duties would be continued, and the protective principle recognized, at least indirectly. A country in which each inhabitant consumes an average of 85 pounds of sugar a year ought not to treat the production of the article as a matter to be fooled with by a party with fantastic theories, and identified with a deficit that continues to pile up. One of the most important triumphs in agriculture and in chemistry as applied to the practical needs of the world, is beet sugar. It pays German and French farmers to grow the sugar beet, and factories in those countries handle the crop at a good profit. They are both protective nations. If they had not been, they certainly would never have succeeded in growing the sugar they use. There is an increasing appreciation of the wholesomeness of sugar, and it is a source of energy hardly second to meat. American per capita consumption of sugar has doubled within 30 years. Congress should not allow the subject to be tampered with by mere political theorists. Many democrats are for absolute free trade. They have also been for dollars very different from the gold dollars we are gathering in from all continents, and handling each other in all transactions. Beet sugar is plainly a product that must be intelligently encouraged, as is been in Germany and France. If the $60,000,000 a year from sugar duties is to be lopped off next May, as the democratic party has arranged, the country will have a costly lesson in bad politics. Chromic iron ores are used for diverse purposes. They are in great demand in making refractory chrome bricks and furnace lining; in making alloys; in manufacturing steel for cutting tools, projectiles, and armor plate, in a great chemical industry which produces many colors and dyes, and in tanning. California produced almost the entire output of chromite iron ore reported in the United States in 1914, and a small output of chromite sand was reported from several points near Baltimore, Md. The opening of the panama canal is expected to obviate in large measure the difficulty formerly experienced in supplying California chromite to eastern manufacturers.
