CO-OPERATIVE MARKETING.
(By A. E. Briggs)
An important step toward agricul
tural development in St. Tammany
parish was taken last Monday whetn
delegates from local farmers' asso
ciations from all over the parish met
at Slidell and formed a parish mark
eting association. It is especially
fortunate that it had a man among
the delegates to whom the meeting
naturally turned in the selection of
a manager. Mr. S. F. Smimons, who
will be the manager for the current
year, has exceptional qualifications
in his experience, first as a truck
grower in the most prosperous part
of the Mississippi district and now
a successful merchant. Not the
least of his qualifications by any
means is the confidence which his
character, personality and abilities
inspire. His election as manager is
a propitious choice which seems t)
the writer largely to overcome what
ever defects may exist in the present
form of organization or very great
difficulties which face a new market
ing association whose members are
mostly accustomed to business meth
ods in the handling of trucking pro
ductions.
The difficulties which are most
likely to hinder and sometimes de
stroy co-operative marketing asso
ciations is lack of understanding
among the members of the functions
of business of such an association
It is certain that an association
whose members are familiar with
marketing methods is the kind whose
success is sure.
The space allotted to this article
is not sufficient to describe those
methods. It is the hope of the
parish associlation that this year it
will be able t6 contract with a na
tional organization which will give
the farmers expert service in the
packing and grading of their vege
tables for shipping. If such a con
tract- can be made with responsible
parties who will give fair service, it
will undoubtedly be an advantage to
those associations locally whose
members take an active, intelligent
part and use all means and oppor
tunities provided for acquiring ex
pert knowledge in making neat pack
ages or hampers to exhibit a hign
quality of 'product. An attractive
pack is the one which tops the mark
et price.
Also our growers should endeavor
to learn for themselves where and
how their goods are sold.. A lack
of interest in markets and market
ing fiacilities will be a cause of fail
ure. For growers who have no
knowledge of the markets will hardly
appreciate the need for ra!sing a
product which will please the .buyer
and for packing it to make a good
display so as to tempt a buyer. The
markets are all highly competitive.
City consumers buy with their eyes;
they buy what looks prettiest or moat
appetizing. So the grower who does
not become acquainted with the
tastes and desires of the buyers will
hardly be able ever to get the highest
prices for what he 'grows-and ships.
Those who are new and strange to
the growing and shipping of truck
crops should not be discouraged at
this. They have now an exceptional
opportunity to learn, if they will
take advantage of it.
Another advantage in learning the

Everybody is enjoying the pleas

the scope of work that is even neces

'MECHANICAL MOOTHER' FOR DESERTED LAMBS
The problem of saving lambs deserted by mothers has been solved
by a Petaluma, Calif., ranchman; It is in the "mechanical mother"
method as pictured above. Feeding lambs by hand is a great' task.
but by arranging nursing bottles filled with hot milk on a rack, the'
lambs are soon taught to feed themselves. Ewe mothers of twins
almost always refuse to feed more than one. The other must be ha-.d
fed or starve. .

A VISIT TO THF) FARM OF THE
MEYERS BROTHERS.
Last Tuesday afternoon a -repra
sentative of The Farmer "dropped
in" on the Meyers brothers at their
up-to-date farm on the Turnpiks
Road, three miles northwest of Madi
sonville. After talking over and in
specting the farm in general the rep
resentative was asked if he would
like to see about 700 pounds of a:
finely butchered.meatas he had ever
looked at. Yes, he would. After
admiring it we were told that, they
were going to throw it away. At
once our curiosity got the best of
us and we, wanted to know what in
the world they wanted to do that for.
For an answer they exhibited a set
of diseased lungs taken from the
beef, and from the looks of them we
wondered how such an. organ could
have half performed the functions
allotted to it by Nature. But the
beautiful part of the story- is that
here we find a set of men on -the farm
who do not worship that "almighty
dollar" enough to foist upon the
public meat from diseased animals.
low easy it would have been for
them to have made away with the
diseased parts and sold the meat
to an unsuspecting public. But
these Meyel-s brothers are not that
type of men. They immediately set
gut to get another beef, and we know
if that beef did not pass rigid in
spection it met the same fate.
The farm of the Meyers' is well
aid out; the fences are all kept in
irst class condition; the barns, out
louses, slaughter house, etc:, are
:lean, sanitary and well-kept. They
ave flowing wells to furnish water
or the rice-lands. They have truck
atches for market and family use,
ind strawberries--my goodness, how
lice they did look. And iight here,
s a good time to mention that there
s not a chance of farmers like
hat ever starvinig to death.
En passant, we might mention
.hat the Meyers brothers are breed
trs of good horses, and the Parish
Fair nev'er- comes off iunless they
save horses entered daily. in the
'aces, and winners, too.

olive and silver. The team became
all wrought up and immediately
wanted a game, so Miss Rayne, our
efficient principal, arranged a game
aetween the second team and their
'superiors," the first team. The
game was thrilling and exciting and
it was with anxiety that the sections
Jf the school, as they divided*into
groups for both teams, awaited the
sounding of the final whistle. After
a hard-fought game the first team
came out as victors by a score of
20 to 15
A special reward was offered the
player caging the most goals. Rene
Dubourg,_ first team forward, captur
ed this recompense, scoring six field
goals. Preston Prieto caged four,
and Eads Russ four. Guarding on
'both sides was reticent and Bagur
put on the concludory, scoring two
perfect field goals.
Good Work, Second Team.
On last Monday, March 20, Slidell's
junior team pulled off another vic

teresting- basketball game, the score
being 12-9 for Slidell. Nevertheless,
a marked development was shown on
the part of our boys for this, the
