R u f as Wallingford P E R Y E A R $1.50 a York From the hank directors he A number of Oregon farmers are going to try the plan of doing then own livestock shipping. A cooperative livestock shipping association has been organized by a representative group of farmers in the vicinity or Dayton, Yamhill county. The organ ization has the usual officers with tlie customary duties prescribed, and Its activities are directed by a Hoard ot Directors. The methods of operation are explained by R. E. Reynolds, A g ricultural College livestock extension specialist, as follaws: The business of shipping and sell ing is conducted through a manage« who serves for a commission. When any member of the association has a bunch of livestock about ready for shipment he notifies the manager by phone or otherwise. He tells the man ager of the kind, number and general quality of his shipment, and the ap proximate time ,'t which it will be ready for shipping. This information is recorded by the manager and when enough stock has been listed for ship ment he notifies each grower when to bring his stock in. When the stock arrives at the ship ping point it is marked for identifica tion, and proper records ijre made. The stock is then taken to Portland or other markets by the manager, where each lot is sold on its own in dividual merits and the proceeds cred ited to the owner. Afte r deducting the expense of shipment and sales by adjusting the charge pro rata among the members, the net proceeds belong ing to each owner are turned over to him by the sales manager. In this way the growers are able to save the buyers’ profit for themselves. They also secure the advantages derived from sales in large lots, and at the same time receive the price brought by their individual lots.
