Ep l'kEI'ARE STOWAGE HOUSE
FOR SWEET POTATOES.
Raleigh, N. C. Sept. 29.?"It will
soon be time to harvest the sweet
potato crop and preparations should
- he made in advance to properly care
| , for it. Many of the larger growers
I' now use modern sweet potato stor-l
' age houses. If this house has been
used before it should be thoroughly1
f cleaned before storing the potatoes,"
W says Robert Schmidt, Assistant Horticulturist
for the State Collate Ex>
periment Station.
w; Directions for doing this are given
by Ft. Schmidt as follows: First, dis,:i
Infect the house by spraying the
floors and walls with a solution of
formaldehyde?one pint of 40 percent
formalin to 25 gallons of water
?or with a solution made by dissolving
one pound of copper sulphate'
K, (bine stone) in 25 gallons of water!
It is advisable to spray a second time
P about 34 hours later. Then start the
fires and dry out the house. All crates
A ; or other containers which have been
|r: "used before should also be thorough
ly disinfected.
Storage in cratos is preferable to
Storage in bins because it permits of
more thorough ventilation and of
.? greater convenience in handling. Ven5
tilnted s!at barrels can also used
to advantage.
Enfe.. "Order your crates now, get your
storage house ready and avoid delays
dir.: :- t::nays Mr. Schmidt.
"Information on curing and storir;:
sweet potatoes may be obtnined by
writing to the Division of Horticulture,
State College Extension Service,
Raleigh, N. C.
"Take care of that farm machinery
now", says E. R. Raney, farm engineer
for the Extension division of the
State College, "for although thieves'
may not break through and steal, *the 1
rost will sUre get them, which is just
as bad."

Independent, with elaborate flourish
of insinuation and inuando erects a 1
- " "Jewish conspiracy to exploit agrMl
culture." It would be to laugh, if the 1
interests so recklessly dealt with were i
not so precious and vital. I
Of like character is the broad ar- t
sertion that Jews control the bank- <
r ing business of cooperatives. No facts j!
pre given, just an oft repeated and)'
".v - uly insinuation. The cold facts are I
furnished by the cooperatives them- .

banks, and $100,000.00 from a Jewish <
i ales agency ar.d the balance of 1
p-n $184,752,000.00 from Commercial :
Banks. The .average rate of interest i
on all these loans was 6.2 per certtl
. Instead ofB per cent-which the Indc- ,
? pendent intimites ns the ryke^off to ]
Jew bankers.
Of tho 97 assoctaUtms which report i

banking business with Jews, 7 do nc
know whether Jews control bank
with which they do business and thre
carry their accounts with Jewis
bankers. Instead of having gobble
up the cooperatives Jewish banker
appear to have overlooked a profit
able field of investment.
Much ado is made in the Dearbor
Independent's articles about high saJ
cries paid cooperative officers, th
plain intimation being that one of th
chief aims of cooperative leaders i
to organise fanners and then sadd!
themselves on the associations a
fancy salaries. Taking the highes
salary paid by each of the 98 report
ing organizations and striking an av
erage we fird that the average highes
salary paid is S7.050.00.
The total annual business of th
98 reporting cooperatives is $510,
397.000.00 or an average of more thai
85,000,000.00 per organization. Insteai
of showing that cooperatives are pay
ing too much, it reveals that, on th
I average, they are probably not paying
enough to get men biz enouel
for their jobs.
iFor some obsccure reason the Dear
born Independent assails farmers* co
operatives for advertising their pro
ducts, and broadly intimates that th>
pcliey was adopted in order to .fatter
the rockets of ?. Jewish adveAisinj
agencies and favored newspapers, hi
at the expense of the overworks*
farmer^ Fifty-nine cooperatives rq
port that they advertise tficir pro
ducts. Of this number 58 report tha
rdvertising has been profitable t<
their_ members, and one, a MidvVes
dairy organization (not on thi
Sapiro.plan) reports no profit.
The attempt to-scare farmers oa
of cooperatives by the assertion the.'
thejr lands and their individual for
tunes are answerable for corporate
debts of the association is too sfllj
to deserve more than pas*sing notice
The laws of 31 States expressly pro
vides that they are not thus liable
and in most of the other States theii
liability is only such as attaches -tc
members of church, fairs, and othei
non-profit membership associations
ft is Interesting to note in passing
that while the Dearborn Independeni
inferentially charges Aarop Sapirc
with tieing farmers to him under
such alleged laws of personal liability,
Sapiro is himself the author oi
legislation which removes all persona!
liability.
.n.notner cnar^e uy mr. rora s or*
?an is that cooperative marketing associations
are illegal, in support oj
which it quotes "some of the best
:orporation lawyers in the country"
(unnamed). Of course the writer knew
that statement is untrue, because it
is. a matter of common knowledge as
.veil as of judicial fact that coopera
live marketing associations enjoy a
egal status under both federal and
state laws. This foolish statement r)f
value only as it throws light or
:he animus and recklessness of this
issault on cooperation.
For some unknown reason the
Dearborn Independent drags in Sen
itor Borah and charges him with
eading a wrong movement to organize
wheat growers. Cooperatives
ire glad to number Senator Borah
tmong the host of statesmen who approve
cooperation by Jarmers, but so
'ar as we have been -able to learn ap>roval
and encouragement is the full
extent of Senator Borah's contribu
ion to the movement, beyond voting
lor agricultural legislation.
The real point Of the whole crusade
3>* Mr. Ford\s organ against coopfrative
marketing will be found unier
t)ic froth and foam about Jewish
exploitation and consists of the reiserited
statement and argument that
'ooperatives are economically unsound
ind monopolistic, that small local
ooperatives may do some good for
farmers who produce "below the average
crops-, bufe| that good farmers
who produce good cfops can sell bet,er
themselves, and that oft-reviled
middlemen never looted American
?y cooperatives associations.
Here we discover the real motive
sehind this entire series of articles
)y Mr. Ford's ortfan. Either Mr. Ford
ielioves that cooperation is unsound
*nd that middlemen can get more
for farmers than they can Ret for
themselves nnd therefore the whole
jcoperative marketing movement
should be destroyed* or else some one
.vho has selfish interests at stake ha=
aken advantage of Mr. Ford's anti
lewish "blind side" and inveigled
aim into giving his name, and pre?to
on -cooperation unler
the guise of, an attack_on Jews.
Since Mr. Ford will not Tepty to
otters and will not moot 'A committee
>f farmers who are successfully op rating
their own cooperatives and
oarn the truth from them, we must
assume that he ia satisfied with the
policy and conduct of his paper.
Mr. Ford is- a very powerful man
rf great wealthr Many people believe
htm to be all-wise and all-good and
that. if he approves an attack on co
operative marketing, thfcn. cooperative
marketing must be wrong. This

it public confidence in Fr. Ford should <
a have imbued him with a deeper sense.'
e of responsibility than he has mani-|1
h fested in this instance, otherwise he.'
d would not have Bent a man out into!I
a the alleys and by-ways to gather up|l

dignity and prestige of a place in ? '
n newspaper which is regarded as his 1
I- personal organ. A-correct sense of re- i

t The cooperative marketing movement
will survive this.attack as it has '

-ommercial and industrial groups
rhe farmer alone has tried to main
tain himself as - an' isolated. Individual
unit. The cooperative marketing
movement is merely an effort or
bis part to avail himself of the efficiencies
and economies of group action,
in the sale and distribution oi
bis products. Through his cooperative
associations he is endeavoring to pul
an end to the old, wasteful and ex
pensive system of individual dumping
and blind selling of his produot:
?nd substitute the orderly merchaniising
of them according to the sounc
rules of moderb business. He is fightng
nobody but is merely giving intelligent
attention to the very important
selling department of his owr
business. He has already made sufficient
progress- in the development
:f forms and methods to convince
limself and a considerable portion oi
he business .public, that he is oil the
ight road. His experience with cooprrative
selling, considered as a whole
hows a substantial .profit to himseli
-vithout injury to any other legitinate
interest. He invites the genera!
jublic to study his efforts and to cojpejate
with him_in rehabiiatating
