(The dairy marketing, fruit marketing and live sto. marketing com-mittees were referred to). I'nderthe cotton pooling plan live states jiave already signed up with more than a million and a half bales of cotton.

Four of the states are heady selling cotton commercially and their reports Indicate benefits of from 5 to HI per bale, aa a result ot co-operative selling. In addition to the materia! saving of wastes. The Essentials of Success. The extension of the co-operative movement among the farmers of the nation Is very gratifying. The dan-Fer of co-operation is in too rapid development rnd In an over-expectation in regard to Its benefits.

If It succeeds It must be upon a basis of sound nmK eflr ient merchandising. coupUj with i rc il pirit of co-operation, and actual helpfulness ainoiiR inducers TIMS n.rured. co-uj will not only hhorten the id to market but will result In iiiiU c-eonorri. The Year Ahead. Iet me urse that you do not attempt too much the coming ye.ir.

l.et us rlnlsli well what ahtnly commenced. Let us O'liy attempt i new effort what we are sure He can reasonably do, 'Let us keep ways a reserve strength for any emergency. Let us keep definitely and clearly In mind that our first thought and service is to the Individual brother furmer. It is he and Mt wife whose loads must be lightened, whose homes must be made better, whose children must be enabled to enjoy every opportunity open tu the children of 'any parentage and environment. We want every farm bureau member to realize that the greatest service the farm bureau movement renders to the individual farmer is thru the county organization.

Every encouragement should be given to the county farm bureau and the county agent so they may render a continually Improved service, with a very definite and carefully prerared program of work. I cannot make it too definite or too strong that the state federations must be wed financed and have a demilte program of work. Publicity Is Very Important. I It Is very essential that the Individual member of the county farm bureau have definite informaticn re-Rarding the work of the roumy farm bureau and its own state federation as well as things which the A. K.

B. K. Is.doinir. The Importance of the state departments of Information, or education or publicity Is worth more than your careful consideration. If there Is a loss of membership or lng-rlng of Interest In any stat? or any county, It is to be primarily because the Individual farmer does not know what bcinc rtore In rendering service to him individually.

Walter Mundy of Quiver township, was in the office the other day and reported that ho was planning on changing his cropping system for next year in that he was going to sow twenty acres of aweet clover to replace twenty acres that he had planned on planting to corn. He said that while prices on grain were low, he thought it would be a good time to take advantage of the situation and grow some legumes for soil improvement. This Is a system which farmers generally thruout the corn belt could well afford to follow.

By replacing corn with some legumes, such as clover, soy beans, or cow peaa, the land can huilt up for future crop productipn without any financial loss. T. R.

W' intend to see the PIATT FARMERS FEEDING CATTLE Feeders Discuss the Prices and Methods in Farm Bureau Tour to Several Fcedlots. SOME PREFER LIGHTWEIGHTS There Is as much if not more cattle feeding in the vv'inity of Monti-cello than in the average pre-war year, according to several of the fifty feeders V-ho attended the feeder tour conducted bv the Piatt County larm I'ureau last Tuesday.

Nine bunches of cattle were visited during the buir. At each place the owner told when and whcr he houpht the cnt-tle. what he paid for them, the average weight when purchased, end the method of feeding. Each feeder could figure for himself hich bunch the best chances of making a prolit. J.

AV. Watson, farm twlvtser, fciid that there Is a difference of opinion among the feeders In J'latt county as to whether It pays to feed cattle to a fairly heavy weight at this time. In Interviews with several of the men. however, a Panta-fcraph reporter found that the advocates of the lightweights were in the DKijorlty. The large amount of grars land caused ly the broken country along 'he Nangamon makes the Monticcllo district good catile feeding country.

Some of the farms were one-fourth or mora grass land. It is partly for this reiison that the usual number of cattle Is beina: fed there, altho there is a decrease In feedincr operations in most sections of the corn belt. Jlen who had cattle on their farms had to stand a depreciation during the last two years. Just' as the grain farmers, but feeders stated that cattle regularly conducted, is a paying- proposition. The first farm vtilted was on the W.

H. England farm, where Lynn I'inknrd is the fepant. A hundred steers were bought the first cf October, the welsht being 720 pounds nnd the price 6W cents. The bes twenty-five of this bunch were seen in a feed lot. They were running on Prass and had been started on com.

They had shipping fever nnd some were dehorned, so they had not picked up weight as well as might have been expected. In contrast with this first croup, there was a bunch of heavier Bteers on the third farm visited, another England farm operated by French Headlee. They weighed about thousand pounds when the middle of October. They cost 5 cents. Home of the feeders commented that this bunch -would easily pell for a cent more than the first bunch and Bince they cost only a 'I'Arter cent more they were much best buy.

They had been on pasture and' in corn stalks and were jus started on corn. The ad vocates of lightweight cattle thought the bunch on th-L. C. itrceg-s farm was a very good buy. There were slxtv-six head, bought September 28 at $4.70 a hundred, the average weight at that time being 6S5 pounds.

The other two bnnches "ere bought in Chicago but these came from St. Louis on a 14 'a cent eight rate, the same rate as from t'oicago. One thing in favor of a lot f'f cattle like this is that they can shipped anytime, for there is always a demand for cattle of their y-elfrht. Mr. Burgess said.

These cattle had been on clover and In stalks, ftnd now they are being fed clover hay, sudan grass strav. and five to 'Rht pounds cf silage per day. The fc'idan grass straw appeared to oma Jf the feeders as a cross between fcizel brush and tlmothv. hut the ers eat it and do well on it. ac- riling to Mr.

Them is considerable advantase in dividing up such lnrge lots Into uniform groups, he sam. With so much corn on the phee, nnd with corn selling so low, Mr. Eursess raid he Intended feeding the cattle out. Still, he said, they will not go in with a great amount of fat, for laft year his cattle, with but ninety daya feed, made more profit than other bunches that went in from the same neighborhood that were rolling in fat. The market nowdays doesn't wan' the heavy cattle, for heavy cat-tie iSn large steaks, and people's poekcibooks doesn't warrant the large stenks, this is his line of argument.

To support this he told ot a slaughter in pecatur that will not buy anything that weighs over Sot) pounds. (More about this feeder tour will be given tomorrow SOME FORAGE POISONING IN LIVINGSTON COUNTY Forage poisoning has caused the death of some stock In Livingston county, according to reports from Pontlac, William Drake, a tenant, north of Tontiac, lost two valuable horses last week. Two other men have reported the loss of cattle by corn etalk roison to the Farm Bureau ofiice. In speaking of his matter. Farm Adviser 11.

i. Allison said that he hanllv thought it advisable to discourage tho use of corn stalks, because there is a shortape of hay and roughage this year and there la some very feed in com stalks. A good many farmers have taken all the moldv corn out of the fields in an attempt to avoid poisoning, he says. Mr. Allison pointed to the findings of Vr.

Robert Graham of the University of Illinois, in experiment with the moldy corn. "As the result cf investigations it was found that all moldy corn i not poisonous. Many of the moldy and worm-eaten ears, however, contain a virulent bacterial poison (botulinus)." So all moldy corn is not poison.
