When J. P. Carrington, a breeder of pure bred Poland China Swine, who lives in Russell township near Russellville, turned forty six head of shoats on a corn and soy bean field on October 8, hogs were worth $14 a

hundred at the farm

There was about 400 bushels of corn in the field and the soy bean

seed and planting cost $5 The hogs ) respectively,

relished the corn anti bea n diet and increased in weight at the rate of two and on e tenth pounds a day. On December 7 the hogs were ready for market and so J. R Wiley, a Purdue expert was called so that he might give a demonstration on bean and corn diet for hogs to Putnam county farmers at the Carring-

ton farm.

The demonstration proved that the hogs had gained a total weight of 5,500 pounds ip the two months. But as the hogs were getting fat the price of pigs was going down. Tuesday the hogs were worth $9 a hundred pounds at the farm. The four hundred bushels of corn was figured at 70 cents a bushel, so the hogs ate

$280 worth of corn

Counting the cost of the corn and the depreciation of the price i n hogs, Mr. Carrington lost just $18. The

only profit'he can figure out is that j oa l { tree inside the cemetery

the hogs gathered his corn for him. Another similar demonstration was held at the farm of F. E. Everman, nearby. But as Everman did not start his pigs until later than Carrington and so bought them at a lower price than his neighbor, he made a profit of $51 on his bunch of hogs beside getting his cor n gathered.

He added that the only condition Japan makes is that Kiao-Chau slitll remain open to foreign trade. China Remains Silent “But how can it be a-ranged if China will n ot talk?” he asked. Baron Hayashi thought that China’s refusal to negotiate was due to the fact that public opinion had been falsified by the military party. He declared himself as well impressed by the work of the league assembly He ha,i confidence in the league but pointed out that the most interesting questions had not yet been taken up and will not come up until the United j States and Germany are members, j Disarmament, he believes, will furnish a lively session of the assembly if the question is brought up.

Dried-peach producers in California were getting only fifteen cents out of each dollar spent by the consumer—less than the cost of production. The rest was being absorbed in a wasteful form of distribution. Something had to be done mighty quick or the industry was doomed. The California Peach Growers’ Association was organized and the crop marketed cooperatively. The grower’s share of the consumer’s dollar was increased from fifteen to fifty-five cents. And the price to the consumer was lowered a cent a pound.

Such stories might be told by the dozen—and they’re all true! COOPERATION prevents waste, finds profitable markets, effects consumer savings and improves service. It is because we desire our organization to perform these useful functions for mutual benefit that we ask your support. Ours is a real cooperative movement. Boost it!
