the resolution was Introduced and no
doubt the good woman that did so Is
very sorry. She no doubt thought her
companions wore warm hearted
Southern women, women that were
wives and know how much they were
worth to their husbands in times of
trouble. She knew our president has
been and will be confronted with the
gravest government questions any
president ever faced and, she being a
helpmeet and knowing how her hus-
band enjoyed her love and interest in
his welfare, how It helped him to re-

ident was going to also find1 a help-

fore stated she was mistaken. They

Illustrations that came tq our atten-
tion last week. The first Is that in one
Alabama neighborhood sometime ago,
farmers became interested in growing
better livestock and took up hog rais-
ing. But because they gave.Hi) atten-
tion to the marTfeting end they crowd-
ed their little Market town with 600
hogs, whereas it had previously been
absorbing probably not more than a
hundred, with the result that a large
proportion of the hogs were sold at
2% to 3% cents a pound gross when
Kansas City was paying 6 cents a
pound groBB. There 16 a story abSut a
little boy who said that “salt trt some-
thing that makes Irish potatoes taste
mighty bad when you don’t put it on
’em-’’ and this story simply indicates
that co-operation, is something that
makes marketing very unsatisfactory
whep you don’t apply it.
In. the other instance a group of
Nprth Carolina farthers obtained the
services jof a government expert in
cotton grading, and on one lot of 3?f>
bales officially graded, and shipped" to
Norfolk, Virginia, a clear profit of
3J1O0 was realized over and above the
prices offered by the" local cotton buy-
ers. As the friend said who told us this
incident; “This" Illustrates the advan-
tages of selling in large quantities. For
both of these results co-operation is
necessary—the organisation of farm-
ers’ marketing, associations. In this
samoco,unty an investigation last year
showed’ that the men marketing aa
much as twa bales at a Lima averaged
more a bale than those who sold
