Many of the ilairyaan in tl.e cvraaivjiiy have shown thtMii-io'.vos to he pSrossive, tmt one man especially stands out as n leader in this respevt. We will call liiiu tireoii. He is a good oM South erner who is saiil to have fanned for Some sixty years. Wlien the acricultunvl extension airents from the federal and state de partments eanie into the community to orfanire a hull association tlreon was the man they called on first. They knew from experience that he would be very likely to see the advantage of such an association to the community, and would he a strong factor in swing Ing Into line other farmers in the ln-ighhorhood. As was expected. Green af once saw the advantages that the proposition offered, and the very next day he started in on the preliminary work of organizing a bull association "block." A few days later the extension men heard over the telephone that a block was practically assured. Later, how ever. Green telephoned that some of the prospective members were dropping out, jis they remembered a disastrous experience of some years before, when they had paid a high price for a worth less stallion. This objection was met, however, with the assurance that the federal and state agents were indors ing this project and would see that no one was swindled. Later on Green informed the coun ty agent that a block of 40 cows had been formed and could be signed up If the agent and specialist would couie out to the sehoolhouse and clear up certain doubtful points. This was done, and six farmers signed up 43 cows, so that $430 was then available for buying a bull. Things were moving along In such a promising manner that the farmers who bad refused to join decided that I 4 American Broni Turkey li Hardltat Variety, While Bourbon and Whita Holland Art Mott Domestic Mrs. Riley Judy of Pendleton visited h. re last week at the home of her par ents.

It would be a good thing to get Info the association after all, and requested memberisliip in this block. "No, sir," said Green, who had been elected director of the block. "You had your chance and wouldn't come in. Or ganize a block of your own. We don't want you in ours." With the arrival of the excellent Jersev bull Oxford M" I'laisir lOti'liS, whb'h had been secured for the use of I block members, the farmers who had at first refused to join the association were doubly anxious to get In, but were again told that they would have to organize a block of their own. Thus It appears that the doubting ones, who are found in every community, had to pay the penalty of hesitating. While they may still get Into the associa tion and enjoy Its benefits by organiz ing a new block, they have lost a grent deal of time.

The Country Printer and Publisher and His Revenue IX TIIHSK TLMHS OF KHCONSTHUCTION AND READJUST MENT it ill becomes the .advertiser and buyer of printing to object to the reasonable advances in prices which country pub lishers and printers are establishing for the continuation of their business. The country printer and publisher with few exceptions, has never enjoyed the remuneration demanded by his banker, grocer, cloth ier, lumber dealer, carpenter, bricklayer, plumber, painter, and repre sentatives of various other mercantile lines and trades. It may have been his own fault. He may have been too "fair" with his patrons and not fair enough with himself. Be that as it may, within the last several months he has been given stern object lessons in business economics, and as a class has become convinced that he is entitled to a compensation for his capital employed, labor and money expended and intelligence and ability required, on a par with other businesses comparable to his. And he is right. Even though there is a general falling market, prices will for sev eral years remain at a higher level than before the war. The printer and publisher will have to pay more for the things he has to buy for himself, his famly and li is business, and it is therefore right for him to ask and receive better prices for what he has to sell, and lay a new foundation that will hold up his business structure under the new conditions which will assail it. Those publishers who have not already done so should lose no time to protect themselves in this matter. And those printers and publishers who have been able to establish a price level fair to themselves and their customers should be deaf to importunities .for a reduction. It is to the shame of hundreds of communities all over the country that the local papers and printing plants have been closed for lack of patronage suflicient for the proprietor to continue them and maintain his self-respect as a citizen and a business man.
