four times.
Wednesday morning S. O. Ilublnow
lectured on fnrm marketing. He is
well known ns a writer and lecturer
on this topic and haa met with consid-
erable success over tho state.
llo made the statement that the In-
dividual farmer cannot market suc-
cessfully but must Join In with others
to obtain the best results. Agricul-
tural cooperation has proved n huccosb
wherever it hns been tried ho said
and the fact that thero are more than
lo.oou farm marketing associations in
tho Tnlted States shows that the far-
mers nre Interested. Iluainote essen-
tials of cooperations are adequate cap-
ital efficient management aecountiiitf
and auditing systeniH and a bonded
manager ho said. Ho urged coopera
tion on n special crop anil oaviacu u-
farmers of this sertion to try yonelin
and dairy products ns a starter.
Mr. Ilublnow took un the discussliu
or tho bonded warehouses and bcored
Bomo strong points in fuvor of the ne.v
law. The value of the warehouse re-
ceipts was outlined. Ho pointed out
that tho receipts or a bonded ware-
house may be discounted at a Feder-
al Reserve Hank at tho ratio of S5 pa-
rent on cotton nnd 75 per cent on oth-
er crops. His talk was full of food
for thought and greatly Interested the
ffirmpra who heard It.
Prof. J. A. Kvans mndo u talk on Hi
home orchard and tho budding or
grafting of pecans. Ho gave his !er-
turo to the women in tho morning nun
tho men In the afternoon. By actual
demonstration ho showed tho farmers
and their wives Just how they may bu.l
and graft their pecans so as to In-
crease finality and production.
Prof. Mageo spoke on hog and sheet
raising and on hog cholera preven-
tion. Miss Kate Ie Henley gave an-
other food lecture and demonstration
to the class of women and handed
out some dainties cooked In the fire-
less cooker. Prof. J. A. Clutter the
Hntr axnert. snoko on animal disease-

ilamnnKt ration.
Tho short course Is not only pro-
nounced the best held in the state by
all tho instructors' but ono. but tb-1
farmors and their wives wore wqimn
woll pleased with it luteresl w-
good throughout and the foundatiou
of a regular annual short course has
been laid In Taylor county.
Much of the credit for the succc
of the short course Is due to I. B
Duck county farm demonstrator who
worked for weeks on the proposition.
He labored Incessantly for the suc-
cess of the venture and his efforts
.r ornwne! with SUCC06S. MUL'll
credit Is also due to committee which
had charge of the course.
Jt is understood that another team

CHRISTIANIA. Norway Aug. 19-
A largo quantity of provisions which
were received In Norway last spring
consigned to "Armour and Norrls
Chrlatlanla'" although these Chicago
packers have no branch offices In this
country still remain here unclaimed.
The original consignment included
1000 boxes of pork 3.000 barrels of
lard and 30 barrels of oil. It Is
generally believed here that the pro-
visions were sent from the United
States In the expectation that they
would be taken care of hero by Ger-
man agents and re-exported to Ger-
many hut the Norwegian laws forbid
this. The government has disposed of
a portion of the provisions to meet
the expenses ot storage but the re-
mainder is still waiting for the im
porter or owner.
Attempts to smuggle contraband ma
terial through Norway continue but
they are completely frustrated it Is
declared by the vigilance of the cus-
toms officials. Some days ago a Ger-
man freight ear with double walls was
discovered by a station agent near
Christiana Space between the two
walls of the car was crowded full of
copper while the body of the car waB
loaded with window sashes and had
It not been for the inspection by the
Station agent the copper would have
escaped to Germany.
