PRINCIPLES OF SUCCESSFUL
COOPERATIVE MARKETING
THE FEDERATION—
Federations are the large associa
tions whose members are locals scat
tered throughout the territory in
which the federation operates. Indi
vidual growers are not directly mem
bers of the federation, but are mem
bers of the local. No legal relation
is set up between grower and fede
ration. This type of cooperative Is
looked upon as a Joint selling agen
cy for a number of local associa
tions who realize the opportunity
for improved service, prices and
methods through cooperation. They
handle the advertising and other
marketing services for all the subsi
diary locals. Each local usually has
one representative on the federa
tion’s board of directors.
The Central—
In this type each grower holds
membership in the central organi
zation. The territory in which the
central operates Is divided into dis
tricts, each of which elects a mem
ber.on the board of directors. The
central, under a single manage
ment, does all that the local and
the federation try to do. Locals are
formed to foster the cooperative
spirit and uphold the moral of the
organization, and are seldom incor
porated associations. The five egg
cooperatives on the Pacific coast are
centralized associations. One under
lying principle of the centralized as-
sociationo has been the organization
and control of the commodity as
well as the rpoducers in well-defined
geographical sections.
In Conclusion—
This is the last installment of
ciplee of Successful Cooperative
the series of articles on "The Prin
Marketing." Careful review of the
eight principles will now show that
they are vital to the life of any
form of cooperative organization,
Each principle must be observed and
followed if the cooperative is to en
dure.
PRAISE FOR CO-OPERATIVE
MANAGEMENT.
(From Industrial News Review)
In a recent speech, Chester C. Da
vis, Agricultural Adjustment Admi
nistration director, said that the
history of dairy cooperatives shows
that the following four main objec
tives have been reached:
A larger share of consumer’s dol
lar for the producer; elimination of
unfair and destructive practices in
distribution and processing; devel
opment of leadership able to cope
with leaders of agencies with which
a cooperative must deal; extending
to all producers in a given market
the responsibility for doing their
part to maintain stability.
Achievements like these, made
during some of the most trying
years the nation has ever passed
through, show on what a sound
foundation the cooperative move-
ment rests. It has always been a
stabilizing Influence; it will be re
membered that during the farm
riots of a few months ago the major
co-ops did as much as any agency,
private or official, to bring order
out of chaos. It has never been
swayed by giddy theories; instead it
has kept firmly to the line of pro
ven methods and time-tested ideas.
. If the cooperatives can accomplish
so much during bleak depression. It
is difficult to exaggerate their po
tential achievements. The Ameri
can farmer has real cause for feel
ing confidence in the future.
ONTARIO—Intensive use of poi
son bait recommended by County
Agent R G. Larson has saved many
fields in the irrigated sections of
Malheur county from probably com
plete destruction by jack rabbits
forced down from the surrounding
hills by the extreme drouth. The
bait, prepared by chopping green al
falfa and mixing it with strychnine
alkaloid, was placed in lines at the
edge of the sage brush. Roy John
son of Vale killed more than 3000
rabbits with 12 ounces of strych
nine. and mnay other excellent kills
were reported. The sum of J1000
set aside by the county court for
the payment of 2* cent bounties
less
on rabbits was exhausted
than two weeks.

FARM PRICE LEVEL HIGHER;
NATIONAL HAY CROP SHORT.
The national level of farm prices
in mid-June was 77 per cent of pre
war, but since the middle of June
farm prices have continued to ad
vance on all major Oregon commodi
ties except cattle and lambs, says
the latest report on the agricultural
situation and outlook issued by the
agricultural economics department
of the extension service. Wheat and
dairy products, the most important
Oregon products from a standpoint
of cash farm income, have shown
the greatest strength.
"Compared with a year ago the
June price index of grains at 89 was
up 26 points; fruits and vegetables
at 108 up 34 points; meat animals
at 64 down 2 points; dairy products
at 76 up 11 points; and chickens
and eggs at 69 up 14,” says the re
port.
“On June 15 the purchasing pow
er in percentage of parity of lead
ing communities grown by Oregon
farmers was as follows: Corn 72,
oats 80, barley 67, wheat 73, rye
66, flaxseed 81, hay 67, potatoes 76,
apples 104, hogs 40, beef cattle 63,
veal 5 5, lambs 89, sheep 54, eggs
7, wool 102, horses 47 and chick
ens 81.”
Purchasing power of farm pro
ducts generally in the United States
was about 63 per cent of pre-war.
The heavy hay crop of western
Oregon has largely offset the short
age east of the Cascades so that the
total crop will be nearly equal to
the 1.9 million tons produced last
year and a little in excess of the
5-year average.
United States bay crops will be
exceedingly short due to low yields
and use of meadow lands for pas
ture in the drought area. Emergen
cy hay crops and the cutting of
small grains for hay will partly off-
set the reduced yield from meadows.
Total production of all hay is ex-
pected to total about 57.5 million
tons. During the last 15 years, an-
nual
production
has
averaged
around 85 million tons.
No serious fruit shortage will oc-
cur this year, the report states. Pro
duction of soft fruits in the eastern
states was curtailed somewhat, but
It now appears that the production
of late fruits, except apples, will
equal or exceed that of a year ago.
Oregon, Washington and Arkansas
are the only important apple states
where the production Is expected to
equal that of last year.
Pea Crop Tried.
BAKER—Cooperating with Coun
ty Agent Phil Fortner In a search
for a suitable cash crop for Baker
county, several farmers planted peas
during June and July to get data
on the maturity of the crop. The
purpose of these trials is to deter
mine whether Baker county can
grow late green peas tor the eastern
August 15 to September 15 is the
recommended time for the applica
tion of paradichlorobenzene about
the base of peach and prune trees
for the control of the peach and
prune borers. These borers often
cause serious damage to peach and
prune orchards before the owners
realize they are at work, Low re
turns for prunes in recent years has
resulted in neglect, forced and oth-
erwise, of many orchards.
The adults of the peach and prune
borer usually appear in July or a
little later. The eggs are most of
ten laid on the tree near the ground.
The larva enter the tree at or near
the ground level, and feed actively
from early spring until late fall.
The use of paradichlorobenzene, a
gas forming chemical, has taken the
place of the tedious method of
"Worming” to rid peach, prune, and
plum trees of root borers.
From three-fourths to one ounce
of the paradichlorobenzene is used
for trees six years old or older. Very
large trees may require larger
amounts.
The application of this material
to younger trees may cause injury
to the cambium of the tree. An east
ern experiment station recommends
one-half ounce of paradichloroben
zene per tree for peach trees three
to five years of age. This material
is moved away from the tree in
twenty-one days when three to five
year old trees have been treated.
The gas given off from paradich-
lorobenzene crystals is heavier than
air, and borers in a tree above the
levels where the crystals are placed
will not be affected by the gas, be
cause the action of the gas is down
ward. Therefore, when treating a
tree, find the topmost borer gallery.
If the topmost borer galleries are
not more than two or three inches
above the ground line, as will be
indicated by gum, sawdust or grass
thrown out froom the tree trunk
above the ground, build up the soil
level about the tree to the level of
the borer galleries. This is neces
sary in order that the gas may reach
the borers above the soil level. Do
not mound trees before applying the
chemical unless there are distinct
indications of borer work above
ground. Borers higher than the in
dicated levels should be dug out of
the tree by the old worming process.
When borer galleries do not show
above the ground line the soil should
not be disturbed before applying the
paradichlorobenzene, except to re
move weeds or stones, and to make
the soil súrtate level.
The dose of paradichlorobenzene
Is applied in a narrow continuous
band 11 to 2 inches from the tree
trunk. Care must be used to distri
bute the crystals as evenly as possi
ble, since the action of the gas is
local. Use only pure paradichloro
benzene having a fineness of granu
lated sugar. After the crystals are
placed around the tree, cover them
with 4 to 6 inches of soil and com
pact with a sharp blow or two with
the back of the shovel. This produ
ces a mound which prevents the
crystals from washing and serves as
a container for the gas. Avoid push-
Ing the crystals against the tree
trunk with the first shovelful of
soil.
REGIONAL EROSION-GRASS
WORK CENTERED AT O.S.C.
Regional supervision of plant
ploration and introduction for the

long-time federal erosion control
plans has now been placed in charge
of Harry A. Schoth, federal ■agrono
mist. and headquarters of the work
have been established with the Ore

at Corvallis.
In his new position Schoth will
continue in active charge of his for
mer work in connection with forage
crope and diseases in the northwest
which has led to Important develop
ment or introduction of valuable
forage and seed crops in this region.
Both branches of the work are di
rectly supported by the United
States department of agriculture-
The territory under Schoth’s su
pervision includes Washington. Ore
gon, western Idaho, northwestern
Nevada and northwestern California.
He will be responsible for working
out the details of collecting plant
materials, establishing grass nurser
ies and handling seed collected,

Island of Yap Once Used
Aragonite for Currency
Some years ago, says Stone and
Webster Bulletin, the people on the
island of Yap had a credit system
based upon aragonite, a kind of lime-
atone not found locally but transported
with great labor from a distant Island.
Units of aragonite, known as fel.
were left on deposit and seldom moved
even though the ownership of the units
might change.
The importance of a claim on these
deposits was Illustrated when the Ger-
mans, upon taking over the Island In
1889, ordered the people to put the
roads in good repair. Nothing was
done. The Germans then had a black
cross painted on each of the aragonite
units as a sign that the deposits were
claimed by the government as s fine
for disobedience. The people quickly
put the roads In splendid shape, the
Germans removed the crosses and the
deposits were unencumbered.
On the return voyage from one min
ing expedition a storm came up and
the raft carrying the aragonite had to
be cut adrift The precious mass
sank, but the miners did not lose •
fortune. They traded on ths arago-
nite deposited at the bottom of the
sea Just as If It had been "in the
bank.”
The diameter of the fel varied from
6 Inches to 12 feet and the vaine was
In proportion to the size. A 8-foot fel
In normal times represented the com
modity equivalent of cither 1,000 coco
nuts or a 100-pound pig.
Under foreign Influence the people
of Yap replaced aragonite with gold
as a credit base, and the fel became
merely ornamental.

Griffon Dog’s Whiskers
Bring Him “Monkey” Name
Compliments are apparently not In
order, when, io one breath, we hear
that the grotesque, spindly, little Grif
fon dog with his large black eyes and
peculiar fringed beard, has a quasi-
human expression—then—In the same
breath we learn that his Is termed a
“monkey fnce.” says a writer In the
Los Angeles Times.
Unlike the “fathomless pool-like"
eyes of most toy breeds, the eyes of
the Griffon are heightened In their
ever-changing quaint expression by his
long eyelashes and black eyebrows.
The Inquiring perky alertness with
which he cocks his rather round over
sized head accentuates his Intelligence.
Born In litters as high as nine In
number, the puppies weigh about four
ounces—usually dark brlndle, which
later turns to the desired shade of
red. Those born red are likely to be
too light In color when the dog Is
grown.
The red wirehaired Griffon Bruxe-
lois, known as the Brussels Griffon, Is
popular tn America. His smooth-
coated brother, the Griffon Braban
çons, is Identical In al) points except
his coat Absence of whiskers, how
ever, gives him the appearance of be

known as the Griffon Beiges, is of

according to the United States bureau

OREGON POULTRYMEN SEEK
AID IN DISEASE CONTROL.
Oregon poultrymen have decided
to wage a determined tight if neces
sary, first to get federal assistance
in the working out of control of the
disease coccidiosis, and then to con
vince state and national authorities
of the importance of the poultry in
dustry entitling it to more consider
ation in research and other govern
mental programs.
This was decided st the eleventh
annual convention Just held at Ore
gon State college where plans were
laid and money appropriated to this
end by the Oregon Poultrymen’s as
sociation which holds its annual
meeting each year in connection |
with the convention.
Fred H. Cockell of Milwaukie re
ported on the progress so far to
ward getting a federal appropria
tion to center a national research
project In coccidiosis control here in
Oregon with Dr. W. T. Johnson,
poultry pathologist at O.8.C., in
charge. He said) he finds that Dr.
Johnson is unquestionably the out
standing authority in the country
on this national problem, but that
with the discontinuance of the state
funds for this work the research Is
languishing.
Close to 300 men and women at
tended the one-day convention this
year and heard a program crowded
with educational addresses on pro
