What are the duties, rights, privi leges and liabilities of the directors and stockholders? Does the commu nity programme menace the home? What is the best way to finance the co-operative association? How so cialize the rural church and the rural school?. Why co-operation anyway what are the advantages and disad vantages V ' Progrean to Be Reviewed. With all" these problems rightly solved, the co-operative movement In .

BETTER SHIP SERVICE AIM Gem variety, which has done excep tionally well in this section, seems to be the principle sufferer, especially In plantings made within the last ten days. Mr. Bailey said his Investigations have disproved the theory that the seed is at fault. Seed from all sec tions has acted the same, so he has looked elsewhere for the cause. He has found in some instances seed .Co-operative Association to Arrange ers warmedJu rooms at 406 Vancou- yutHieu as aeep as eigni incnes ami cheaper, he says, than such a house can be heated with coal or wood.

BEETLES ATTACK ASPARAGUS Serious Losses Reported by Oregon Experiment Station. INSPECTION TO BE CHANGED Government Co-operation Assured for Idaho Fruit Men. BOISE. Idaho, June 12. (Special.) Miles Cannon, state commissioner of agriculture, has announced there Will be federal co-operation this year In making inspections of Idaho-grown fruit and vegetables and a govern ment representative will be sent to this state within a short time with that object in view. Under the new system that has leen adopted by the state the initial inspection when the car is loaded will be final. The form of certificate of Inspection to be issued whenever a oar cf fruit or vegetables is inspected has been decided upon and will fol-1 low the form now used by California, ! where federal co-operation in Inspec tion work is in force. "An advantage of the co-operative inspection Is that the farmer will be entitled to his money as soon as the car is inspected." said Commissioner Cannon. "In other words, he will be paid on the basis of the grade fixed by the inspector. The carrier is liable for the loss where upon the arrival of the car at its destination there is placed upon it a grade lower than that placed thereon by the inspector One of the first duties of the federal Inspector on his arrival here will be to give an examination for state In spectors to determine their qualification." EGG AFFILIATION" PLANNED Yakima Poultrymen to Join Co operative Association. YAKIMA. Wash.. June 12. (Spe cial.) Arrangements are being made for organiaztion of Takima poultry raisers into a branch of the Western Co-operative Egg and Poultry asso ciation. A branch packing house af filiated with the western association will be started in this city. When the project first was broached to the officials of the west side asso ciation, objection was made because of the fear that the higher tempera tures of the Yakima summer, com pared with sound weather, might af fect the quality of the eggs produced here, but it was shown that Yakima eggs properly handled were selling on the Seattle market at the same fig- oers as Puget sound eggs. The con elusion was reached that complaints had been caused by improper nan dling rather than other causes. POTATO GROWERS ALARMED Seed Decay Reported Prevalent In Prosser District. PROSSER. Wash.. June 1!. (Spe cial.) F. E. Bailey, district horticul tural Inspector, who has been making an investigation of seed potato decay In this part of the valley, suggests shallower planting as a remedy. Seed potato decay is something new In this section and seems to be preva lent in the valley this spring. In fact It has become so bad that many of the growers have been gravely con cerned about this year's crop. After planting the potatoes do not come up and npon investigation It Is found that the seed has decayed and Is in fested with maggots. The Netted Asparagus growers are suffering serious loss from attacks of beetles. The asparagus beetle and its slug-like larva feed on the tender shoots vo raciously, making them unfit for market. Later in the season they de foliate and often kill the high-grown plants. "Control of this beetle is not easy," says A. L. Lovett, entomologist at the Oregon experiment station. "Keeping the tips cut clean every three to five days will help. "Chickens and ducks eat the bee tles readily and do not harm the plants. "Air-slaked lime dusted over the leaves in the early morning when the dew is on will destroy many of the beetles. "Cutting down all high-growing plants except a few to serve as lure for the beetles, and spraying these Dlants with lead arsenate, is of value." After the growing season, Professor Lovett advises the keeping of all tops sprayed with lead arsenate, using one nound lead arsenate powder to 30 gallons of water, when applied in liouid form. II used as a oust, ran the powdered lead arsenate with nine times Its volume or air-siaKed lime or wood ashes or sulphur, and dust over the plants. These treatments are to be repeated in ten days.

BACK YARD IS OPPORTUNITY College Specialist Gives Hint for Garden Production. It Isn't too late to put the vacant back yard In condition for producing fresh vegetables for home use, points out A. G. Bouquet, professor of vege table gardening at Oregon Agricul tural college. Whether the home garden In the city is a paying proposition Is deter mined to a gaeat extent by the atti tude and energy of the gardener, as well as some necessary skill in plant ing and after-care of the crops, he declared. 'One of the first requisites for suc cessful gardening Is a fine, well pul verized, mellow soil which will fur nish a good seed bed for those veg' etables which are grown from seed. such as carrots, beets, peas, beans and corn. A suitable place in which to transplant vegetable plants such as tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, cabbage and cauliflower Is also important. The application of manure and of standard commercial fertilizers such as nitrate of soda, acid phosphate and potash, are valuable in preparing the seed bed. 'No garden is Insect proof. Much of the disappointment in home gar dening, is caused by the destruction of plants by various kinds pf insects." Corvallis Students Will Chronicle GUERNSEY Events for Farmers' Week.
