Coops Are Needed
According to Mr. Mclnnerney
cooperative bargaining associa
tions of farmers should be main
tained.
"The farmer," he said, "is en
titled to a fair price for his milk.
' The public must have this food
' at a fair price, which must in
clude not only a fair cost of milk
but fair cost of plant handling
and efficient service."
But. in the opinion of the
speaker, when cooperative organ
- izations seek to enter the manu
facturing and retail distributions
fields, the attempts "usually re
sult in wasteful duplication of
facilities, impaired service to the
public and ultimately serious fi
nancial losses to farmers and
supporters. Such organizations in
my opinion are not sound."
Distribution Another Problem
"It is- apparent." continued
Mr. Mclnnerney, -that for any
cooperative distributing organiz
ation to serve the public in the
distribution of milk and dairy
products as efficiently and econ
nomclally as does the established
private business, such coopera
tive organizations must success
fully duplicate the facilities, the
ability, the talent, the executive
capacity, and the experience and
trained organizations which pri
vate capital has developed
through many years of experience
and effort. It is clear to any
one, it would appear to me, that
this cannot be done over night.
It -Is my judgment that until the
millenium arrives private enter
prise and self-interest will do a
better Job in distribution In the
interest of the consumer and the
farmer than will cooperative ef
fort. The : farmer Is a better
farmer than merchant and the
merchant is a better merchant
"If this lob can be more effi
ciently done by cooperative dis

excuse for the existence of an or-

T TURNIP IS
GROWf. BY THURMiN
WACONDA, Nov. 8.
"Mr. Finny had a turnip
And it grew behind the barn
And it grew and ;grew and

And the turnip did no harm!"
This particular turnip, grew
behind the barn on the G. W.
Thurmon farm near Forest
Grove. It grew and grew until
when "plucked" it weighed 3tt
pounds, measured 22 inches in
circumference and J eight inches
In diameter. The J turnip seed
which produced turnips this size
was planted in July, no special
method of cultivation was used.
Although part of the farm is
beaver dam soil the garden in
which the turnips grew is on a
hillside. This 13 pound tur
nip is only one among many,
and when -cooked they are most
delicious, tender and sweet, not
the least bit pithy.

arop in wheat prices. - For five
years the central pool office at
Winnipeg managed to carry on
and find markets throughout the
world at prices which the farm
ers considered satisfactory. Then
suddenly, with Canada's small
1929 harvest, began an unex
pected but continuous and heart
breaking decline in wheat prices.
The pool carried out its program
of "orderly marketing" as it
term. But now
with the biggest carry over of
wheat on record and a new crop
on hand, large in volume and
high in quality the poos is on
trial for its life. Can it survive?
First Payment Made
During the first five years the
pool made a first payment to the
farmers, called the initial pay
ment, followed by a second or in
terim payment and the final
payment after 'the windup of the

PIG NURSERY SUCCEEDS
MonmoutK Couple Feed 12 With Bottles
REGULAR HOURS KEPT
By BEULAH H. CRAVEN
MONMOUTH, Not. g Mr.
and Mrs. C. H. Parker are spon
soring a somewhat novel nursery
at their farm on N. Monmouth
avenue, where they are rearing
12 little white pigs which for
four weeks they , fed - from bot
tles. The mother pig farrowed
a litter of 18. and Mr. Parker
immediately segregated six which
he began to feed from a bottle.
Some of the largest of the utter
were left with the mother, but
she developed milk-fever and six
of the litter died. Mr. and Mrs.
Parker then ted the remaining
12, using bottles supplied - with
nipples such as are used fa feed
ing lambs. .-
The first week a feeding was
given every , two t hours, using
equal parts of fresh and skim
cows' milk. . For two nights they
received one feeding, hut this
was . discontinued by feeding at
10:30 p. ra., and at 5:30 a. m.
The second week the time be
tween feedings was lengthened
to three hours; -then they were
fed six times daily! and now they
get four feedings dally. When
about tour weeks old the pigs
learned to drink; from little
troughs and to eat, some mlllfeed
also. Now they are almost seven
weeks old, and all j are husky and
thriving.
Considering the financial value
of pigs at present the Parkers
feel that their achievement, is
not only unusual,! but decidedly
meritorious. . . .
