REAL BENEFUS 0 Ft ARE POINTED OUT By B. &''8tewart Cooperative organizations have sprung for the most' part because of condi- tiobs whib have made a better system of VnarketlnK necessity. Each coopera- . . r . . - - . i kit ..ci maraeiuns association wmcu is uuui up about the marketing of obA certain farm product must serve Its members in ' several ways and bring to them some benefits which hey could not seeure frftn any other, source.. More than that, to Ibe ultimately successful and hold their membership, they roust bring some serv ice of intrinsic value to members which nob-members are unable to secure from any source, or are able to profit from in any way. J o be ultimately successful 'then, each cooperative must find a few ways in wfcich to serve its members to advantage without at the same time serving directly orj indirectly non-members. IltSUIrS ARE ACHIEVED Many or the ' organizations are ac complishing this through various means, including grading to certain standards, flsanclng both during growing and sell ing seasons, by storing of goods for favorable markets and. by reaching- mar kets with their-products which are not available to non-members. There are many instances where the operations of cooperative marketing or ganizations benefit the non-member who is! producing the eame kind of a com modity, without such non-member incur ring any-of the expense connected with the marketing association. , There are a. nsmber of farmers in every branch of the agricultural Industry who .will con tinue to enjoy the better prices and stabilized markets which the work of the association makes possible without themselves assuming any of the respon sibility or slight expenses connected with the work of the organization. Such a condition is bound to exist, for the al mighty dollar looks bigger to a lot of people than does their sense of duty to aj neighbor producer. . : ' JfOH-MEMBERS AIDED . , j Non-members, are very often anxious to see the cooperative marketing or ganisation continue in business because of its beneficial effect upon stabilising tse prices and keeping prices at a prof itable level. . (Since the majority of members of as sociations are fully occupied with pro duction problems, it Is primarily up to tfee officers and management of an or ganization to find or devise several ways is which they can serve - the -members -without at the ; same time benefiting those outside -of the association. j Through storage of flush season eggs rnany of the egg producers organizations are able to bring an added profit to the producers , although at the same time taking these eggs off the market stiffens the price for non-members. 4 f Careful standardization and the pay ment -according to grades has greatly helped those producers who are success fully trying to improve their produce QCAIITT.IS FEATURE ( It seems that it has done, even more ; for. according. ts arscent announcement, which states thaVSeveraLoi therblg-out-Ade egg handling firms have started an egg. buyers' association, the . producers organization has forced the " .deal ers to recogn Ise grades and pay more tor high class eggs than, when ..they purchase merely by case count. Before fhe producers' organised the dealers ever Attempted by any . means or fciethod to Improve the quality of eggs Iaiscd In their territory. -Many producers are now raising birds that Uy superior eggs, making the grad ing ued by the. producers organization a real help. No doubt the dealers have found themselves getting so much com Inon and poor quality stock ' that they rave found "difficulty in unloading upon the markets in competition with eggs roduced in the same section but from flocks that lay a much more marketable f ge. They have yet to develop a system ' which will bring to them only" freshly (aid stock that will compete with the fresh eggs furnished by the producers' dissociation. , : I SQIIKBCI, DRITE XU55KD I Medford.

It is far better to have just one or two small pens of your choicest; fowls frdm which .to set eggs and hatch chicks, "thus your stand ard of quality will show improvement from .year toi year. .t Young chicks In brooders are easily overheated after they get to be three or four weeks old unless j the temperature is greatly reduced from that maintained the first few days. If! kept too warm, chicks win hot feathir out properly. Roosts should, be provided when the chicks are about a month old, or a deep bank of straw; may be placed at the side of the brooder house wlhlch will tend to spread the chicks out. ' j A small egg hatched may produce a large pullet, ; but fhe tn turn may -lay nothing but small ggs). Select the two ounce eggs for hatching, as that is the size the market demands. O. A. C.

TIME IS HERE TFT X J- -S Jt SEED TREATMENT FOR SPUDS GIVEN s 1;, f :';;!; Oregon Agricultural tJollege, CorvalMs, May . ;Selection ami treatment, of po tato seed are given as jsssential in bring ing up the yield and Quality of the Ore gon crop, in a new bulletin. "Seed Po tato Improvement," list issued by the O. - A. C. experiment) f stationi. '- It was written by G. R. Hyslop, chief of: farm crops. " -i ! "Treat . all seed with the cortostve suDiimate solution, is- the recommenda tion made. The solution is prepared by dissolving four ounces mercuric chlo ride in one gallon hot; water, and 'dilut ing this strong solution with 29 gallons of cold water. All vessels used as con tainers must, be artben or wood. This amount is sufficient for 12 to 20 bushels of seed tubers, usually about 1. CLEAKIItG IS FIRST . " J The potatoes are ' first cleaned thoroughly and clipped into seed pieces. They are then treated iu the oreoared solution for 1H Xo two hours, unless well sprouted already, when the., treat ment should not .'exceed one hour, T The are then taken out and drained.-' i r- : This treatment has weakened the so lution, and if it Is to be used a second time one pint of the stock solution- four ounces to one gallon water should be added. If the treatment was for less than standard time, a smaller amount -of the stock solution-should be added.: Con tinued use may, be followed as long as the liquid remains clear usually: seven or eight times. . v I ; ' . , By washing dfrty -potatoes M2 J to it hours before treatment many of the bie. ("hard scurfy' spots will . be softened ,upK making treatment more effective.' Hand led right, this treatment wilt kill most of the scab and rhlsoctonia. No seed should be planted In Oregon without this treatment. - , I . i j BLOSSOM ENDS SATED ; The blossom end piece has-been shown by many years' investigation at the col lege station to be the best : seeds. - The common practice of ; splitting this end impairs the plant: and decreases the yield. An illustration of a clipped potato with blossom end , intact is given in the bul letin. Several advantages come from planting the blossom ! end. The other parts of the potato will be good seed If clipped large enough to have plenty of 'eyes. No: piece should have fewer than two eyes-f more are better. The cut seed is j coated : with land plaster after draining out. While still wet it is shoveled over with land plaster, which then hardens on the surface. . This coating prevents much: rotting in the field and is thought to stimulate growth. A hundred pound bag of land plaster is enough feo coat 35 to 40 bushels. After coating, the seed - should be planted at once or else ; spread out thin to dry before .spoiling.. I j .'" TO IMPBOYB-TIEtB i i I ' ' This plan, with nine others, are: recom mended in the bulletin as means: of - Im proving the yield . and the) quality of Oregon potatoes. Federal reports are quoted -to show that the average .yield in Oregon for the -last' 50 years- has been only a little more than 100 bushel per acre. Professor Hyslop thinks grow ers may safely count on increasing their yield 5G per cent by observing the recom mendations, which are based on Careful Investigations at the college ! station ajfid on study of conditions in growers' fields. Growers may get; free copies by applica tion to their county agents. : - Tt Federal Hunters Kill ;1141 Coyotes (v5sh .1 i Spokane. 'ViaSh S Hay ( S.
