'COOPEMMIDEA
OFTEN CONFUSED
11H STOCK PLAN
i . By It. C. Stewart .
. There Is a world of difference be
'tween a truly cooperative grower
. association and a farmers company
f iOr stock organization. A truly co-operative
organization founded upon
& non-fttock, non-capital plan, with
" "'each member of the organization
having a proportionate chare or; in
f interest in the association.
r Farmers companies which are often-
: vtimej called cooperative associations
with their capital stock owned by a few
growers and perhaps by others who are
not actual fanners are not really co-
? '-operative as the term is now applied to
associations. The truly cooperative as-
sociations and the capital stock organi
sations have often been confused and the
acts of one have helped or hindered as
" the case might be, the other type ot
a " organisation.
'DIFFERENCE IS SHOWS'
7 k
For many years we have had the so
f .called cooperative - associations : which
v- were actually operating to make profits
. only for their stockholder at the expense
of all of the growers. In many cases
however, these were a benefit to quite
-i a number of growers for they provided
.,an outlet for tbe produce and sometimes'
'j .paid slightly more than the, market
price. ,
Many of these associations were suc
, cessful in a-: way but a large proportion
3 1 of them were failures, due no doubt, to
ii the fact that they were not purely co
ir! operative-and therefore did not divide
, Xhe entire profits among all of , their
h. x members. A truly cooperative assocl ev
iction,, as many of the organisations are
i, .now operating, returns to the grower
.every cent that his crop may bring, ex-
n eept the actual cost of doing business in
placing the crops upon the best market.
Kach member is on an even footing and
he cooperative association is actually
frothing mere than a body created for
; the sole purpose of Serving the members
.s a marketing agency.
FALSE IMFBESSIOTT MADE
A great deal of confusion has arisen
(due to the great similarity of the names
of different - types of cooperative asso
ciations. . They were so alike in name
?Jthat the difference in their character
i-has hardly been apparent to most people.
The term cooperative marketing,' or co
.operative association, has been misused,
. fit many instances, solely for the, purpose
' kit creating a false impression tn order
' - to sell stock, or to secure, crops from a
j producer who believed he was getting
into a really cooperative association.
I Capital stock organizations which are
Pawned and controlled by a few; share
S holders or producers seldom operate for
the benefit of the entire membership for
S they are operated for the sole purpose
ot creating dividends upon their cap! tall
i cation. Such associations always pay
large salaries to their various officers
who are also the shareholders. This has
always been the cause of the failure, for
j In a lean year the salaries more than
fete up the-profits. ContrasjV with this,
the plan upon which purely cooperative
"associations are organised.- '.Kach mem
1 ber in such an association has an equal
yvoice In the control and running of the
I .association. He receives his proportionate
i . share of the net returns upon a commod-
,-ity basis.
1 That is. no matter how much. or, how
little of the aggregate he will receive,
his proportionate share will be according
fto the number of bushels or pounds
'which he delivered to the association.
VOICES AEE EQUAL
When It comes to electing the manage
ment, and taking care of the business
end of the matter, each cooperative
grower has equal voice in electing the
directors and management of the organisation.-
If unworthy or inefficient man
agement gets into office, it is the fault
of the majority of the growers. Some
really cooperative associations have per
haps built up too elaborate an organiza
tion with the result that there has- been
too much overhead connected with the
operating expenses. This condition how-

KEEP SCABS AWAY,
EXPERT! SUGGESTS
The moist and warm weather of
the past week, ot two is very favor
able for the scab in both pear, and
apple trees, according to C. I, Lewis,
assistant general manager of the Or
egon - Growers Cooperative associa
tion.; j: ; :f '" f ; ' v' U - ! " : '
: The problem with growers is rather to
prevent the development of scab by
proper sprays than to wait until trees
have become infested. Lewis saya
Growers should Inspect their orchards
for scab, since weather conditions have!
rather favored this disease. It will first
appear on the under side of the pear and
apple leaves, especially with the Winter
Nelis pear and the Newtown apples. If
the scab Is found on either of these,
Lewis says, the grower may be assured
that it will soon spread to other varieties.'-
- ' ! -
In the care Of orchards to prevent the
spread of scab there are three spray
periods according to Lewis. The first is
known as the calyx spray. This period
has passed with almost all orchards of
pears and apples, with the possible ex
ception of those in the higher altitudes
where the last petals are falling". For
those orchards, the calyx spray should
be applied for scab. This consists of
lime sulphur ZVb-100. - . '' -.' - :
That known as the 10 or 15 day spray,
to be applied about 16 days after, blos
soms fall, applies to many orchards at
present. This spray consists of lime
sulphur 1-60. With D'Anjou, Howell and
Cornice pears and ' other tender skinned
varieties susceptible to , russeting from
ordinary lime sulphur, it is perhaps
better to use atomic sulphur (-60 or self
bolled lime sulphur 8-8-60. This also ap
plies to the SO day spray.
Th aoolication known as the 80 dav
spray is used from four to five weeks I
arcer ine caiyx application, g or scao it
is required only in exceptional cases and
then consists of an application of lime
sulpbur l-SO,
3
ever Is not general, and most associa
tions are operating upon an economical
basis, paying good returns to their mem
bers. Big overhead expenses may be cut by
the action of the membership of such
an - association and the association
brought back to a highly efficient basis.
The spread between the producer and
the consumer is greatly lessened if the
business is conducted upon a truly co
operative plan. While the ' expense of
Intermediate handling cannot be elimin
ated, yet the profits which bad been go
ing to the middlemen before cooperation
was adopted, may be kept for the actual
grower of the crops. ,
The difference ' between ' the various
types of associations will be better un
derstood as time goes on and capital
stock associations : are gradually dis
placed by truly cooperative associations.

STUDENTS FOLLOW
A report showing that 79 per cent
of the agricultural graduates of the
Oregon Agricultural college either
follow straight farming when they
leave or take up some related form
of agricultural work, has been com
piled by Dean A. B. Cordley of the
school of agriculture. The related
work includes 'county- agents, club
leaders, extension specialists, college
or vocational agricultural teachers,
experiment station work or work
with the United States department
of agriculture..
The school of agriculture enrolled 91S
but of a total enrollment of 3135. who
enrolled ror the regular one or four-year
course of study offered by. the various
schools of the college. In addition to
this number, 683 students were enrolled
by the college for the various ehort
courses offered during the year. ;
Bachelor of science degrees are offered
in seven schools and one department of
the college. The schools are -agriculture,
engineering, home economics,- commerce;
mines, forestry, pharmacy. The depart,
ment offering a four-year course is
chemical engineering. 1 '
Agricultural students have constituted
from 20 to li per cent - of the student
body in the last 30 years. The students,
who also include the women in home
economics, .pharmacy and commerce, as
well as the men. who graduate from
schools other than that of agriculture,
would not be expected to return to the
farm, although many of tbe women do
go back to the farm. ,
Non-graduates or vocational students
were not included in the survey -prepared,
by Dean Cordley. Opportunities for non
graduate or vocational "students in the
closely related fields of agriculture are
not, as a rule, open to them. If the sur
vey ' included these students, it - is be
lieved the percentage actually operating
farms would be far greater;

and according to Chicago fruit buyers
who are here, the largest shipment of
this fruit from any one section in the
country. ... ; . .t '
. Rejecting offers of 4 cents a pound
made by the canners, the Cooperative
Growers' association is sending the fruit
to the auction markets in the East,
where they hope to get prices which will
yield them net more than 8 cents a
pound. . y -

One day she laid .one egg. In the morn
log and another in-' the evening.. One
was normal, hut the other is one suit
ed for Jack Spratt and his wife, when
they: eat eggs. The .yolk is in one sac
and the white in another, with-a small
fluct connecting them. Aside from that,
it appears to be, .a' perfectly . normal
soft-shell egg. . , " .
STRAIGHT FARING
PRUNES DECLARED
MILK PRODUCERS
As a butter producing food, prunes
at 3 cents a pound are not only the
most economical food for cows, but
the cows 1 like them, and the milk
has none of the flavor that often
follows the feeding of turnips or
kale. This new cow food for mak
ing butter is advocated by O. B.
Nichols, an extensive prune grower
near Yamhill.
Speaking of bis experience in feeding
prunes of small sizes to cows. Nichols
said : . -
"From limited trial, r believe that
dried prunes are a good butter making
feed. The butter is of excellent color,
quality and flavor, well granulated and
churns . easily. . , -
"Cows break some prune pits at first,
but - soon learn to handle them in na
ture's - way. - That is. to swallow them
into the first stomach or cud bag, where
the heat and moisture makes them soft
Then ' regurgitate, separate and - drop
most of the pits out from the sides of
the mouth. , .
"I have watched .the process repeat
edly and believe I am right. I . have
emptied quantities of bare prune pits out
of the feed box. .
"Prunes can be fed before milking and
produce no evil taste like turnips or kale
and cows soon become fond of them. My
opinion of the value of prunes as cow
feed would be around three cents a
pound, although I have no : chemical
analysis to compare with mill 'feeds.
"To haul away prunes at three cents a
pound and haul back, mill feed seems to
me a losing game."

Tubercular Cattle :

Eugene, June 18. Work of testing
cattle for tuberculosis will be started
again in Lane county this summer, says
Ira -"P Whitney, county agricultural
agent. The federal government has set
aside funds for this work, and will pay
for all diseased cattle ordered slaugh
tered. Work of organizing the districts
for the eattle inspectors, who will in

nosis, will start at once.
Coyote Hunters May
Be Put on: Salary
Marshf ield, June 18. Members of the
county court of . Curry county have
found unsatisfactory the plan of paying
a bounty of $75 for coyotes killed. The
offer has resulted in only 38 of the ani
mals being killed. . The coyotes are
causing the sheep merr heavy losses. It
is probable that instead of paying money
on bounties the county will employ pro
fessional trappers and pay them salar
ies. V . '

WOOL MARKETING PROBLEM: . .
-Cooperative marketing of wool U of
paramount Importance, according to R. A.
Ward", organization manager of the Ore
gon Wool and Mohair association. "It
Is safe to say that the average, Ameri
can farmer produces r.o crop about- which
he knows so little, concerning its mar
keting and actual values as wool, he
said. "This . is . not strange, for wool
marketing and wool manufacturing is
a very highly specialized business re
quiring a great deal of technical skill
and knowledge." Ward reported that
there are now 1200 members of the Wool
and Mohair association in Oregon, with
165,000 fleeces signed up. i ;
Throughout the sessions of Farmers'
week, the spirit of-cooperation waa evi
denced, and it was shown that coopera

wanted. '. '
