V Mil: of COOPERATION EXPLAINBD TO FARMERS Addressing a meeting of about twenty-five representative farmers held at the Wigwam Grange hall. Tuesday, W. C. Rockwell of the Washington-Idaho drain Growers as sociation told in brief the purpose of the association in its attempt to CO pperati with the- fanner on the mar keting of his wheat crop. Using charts ■Mr. IJockwell demonstrated to his Jbuiliiiki the difference between the ■cooperative non-profit plan of sell- _intr v.ln'at and the old system under JWhiili the fanner took what tho ■spci--ilalor wished to (jive. Under the plan adopted and fol lowed by the association, Mr, Rock- Well told his audience that the wheat is first collected and then put on *th< market in such quantities and at such limes as will tend to hold the steady and not give rise to speculation and profit taking on the part of the speculator. A central agency of the association is located at Spokane where the wheat of the northwest is handled. A testing and {grading laboratory is also establish ed there under the direction of an export. Warehouses are also main tained in Seattle and Portland. "Producers on joining the associa tion," said Mr. Rockwell, "are per mitted to ship wheat at any time ■which is put into general pool after it lias been graded and tested. For all wheat shipped to the association's warehouse, the producer is given an advance of 75 per cent of the ap parent value per bushel based on the current quotation at the coast. The final settlement is made when all the wheat in the pool is sold. The wheat shipped now will be sold not later than the first of June. Mem bers of the association are allowed to ship their wheat to Spokane not later than the end of March." . Mr. Rockwell stated that the pro duction of wheat for this year in the states of Washington, Idaho and Oregon would be between 75 and 80 million bushels. Of this amount about :i<> million bushels will be handled through the central office at Spokane. Mr. Rockwell, to prove thi value of cooperative selling, cited ,th. case of the .California,, Vw'}t Growers association, the Almond growers and Walnut growers, who together with some other twenty-two organizations in California sold dur ing the past year 800 million dollars worth of their products. After the meeting several of the farmers present signed contracts with the association by which they agreed to sell to the association all their wheat for the next six years. By special request of some of the farmers present, Mr. Rockwell ar ranged his schedule so that he will be able to hold a meeting Sunday evening at Meyers Falls.

It was ■ ith this in view that I included In the letter a few suggestions on how to control the pupils. I also believe that the teacher ihould not allow lieraelf to become idle."

Rhode, superintendent of the hatchery. Anyone caught breaking the laws in any respect will be brought into court and made to pay tlir maximum penalty. The stand of the commission is taken due to the fact that in previous seasons. hunters are inclined to let their sporting spirit tret the beat of them. with the result that many birds are killed before the Reason is open. The hunters in and around Colville will get the first taste of fall hunt ing starting next Thursday when the season on bear, native pheasant and grouse will open. "There is a possibility of the open seasons being postnoneiT until a later date." said Mr. Rhode, "due to Hip fact that this being the dry season and the danger of forest fires. How ever, we will not know about this until .1. W.

As for hit t in^r, Raftis says that the team is in a lint tine slump, and are due to come out at any time.
