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

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. Pubhsher's Auxiliary.
