COMMUNITY COOPERATION Any American farmer who is worthy of the name likes to be associated with, a good, clean, up-to-date, enterprising busi ness town as his postoffice and trading center. It's an asset to the farming community to have good churches good schools, and a good commercial club, and good business houses within easy reach. The growth and prosperity and service which such a town can render to its country neighbors depends much more largely upon the farmers themselves than they are apt to think. The more you trade with the town merchant the bet ter stock he can keep. The more' you help out the cream ery or the cheese factory or the grain warehouse company or the grange or the farmers' un ion, or any other organization that is helping out the town and country alike, the better town you will have. Your town is sure to have some sort of a moving picture show. It is jfar better that. you should have a good reputa ble movie than a low-class pic ture show. Farm fathers and mothers can exert a great in fluence in the matter of clean amusements in the town. If the town has a public li brary, it can double its value and efficiency by the coopera tion of the surrounding farming families. If the business men of the town help out in the matter of good roads, why should not the farmers cooperate in town betterment? The fact is that the rural town is a farming town and de pends not only upon the pro duction of the farms within its territory for its own success, but this rural town is of itself an index to the farmers who live within its territory. Community cooperation, com munity development, means that the farm women join with the town women as members of the commercial club, as they do in Garfield, Whitman county Washington; it means a com munity cooperation in caring for and beautifying the local cemetery, as at Oakesdale, in the same county; it means that the town people unite with the farm people in the community clubhouse, as at Oroville, in Ok anogan county, Wash.; it means that the farmers and the towns people unite in making an ins titution of the annual picnic, ts on the irrigation project a few miles out of Caldwell, Idaho; it means that the townspeople and the farm people unite in that marvelous institution, the child Ten's fair, as st McMinnville, Oregon. Whatever you find the farm ers cooperating with the towns people you have a good town, and when you have a good town you are pretty sure to find good people living on the farms a- round that town. You can not build up a successful social life without community effort. Good stores, good churches, good schools, good roads, good farm organizations must have tho co operation of the fanners as well as of the townspeople them selves. Oregon Farmer.
