fifth has been marketed co-operatively.
The density of population and the
nearness of markets, ancji their demands,
made co-operative I marketing
less essential. Economickl or efficient
production was theijr problem,
as it is rapidly becoming Our imperative
problem, and they have devoted
their attention to it and through education
and co-operation have come
nearer solving it than any other farm
people with which I am jacqu&inted.
Let me give you an example of what

nrndiirtinn
England is the greatestjood market 1
in the world, considering its size. 1
There is a demand for pork in Eng- 1
land, not particularly Danish pork,
but for pork of uniformly high qual- c
ity and England, as all the rest of '
:he wprld, will pay a good price for *
iniform and high quality
Denmark set out deliberately to sup- 1
ply that demand for ba x>n, not ba- j
con iu its restricted sense, as we
inderstand it, but for perk at a uni- *
form, mild cure and high quality.

There were co-operative schools
ind other educational means employed
lor the education jot the farmers, but
[ can only give you briefly a few
lacts regarding how this bacon of unllorm
and high quality is produced
10-operatlvely.
First, there are co-operative breedng
farms for the improvement of the
Dreede by breeding.
Second, a type of hog Is chosen, dereloped
and maintained by co-opera:lon
that will produce a high quality
>f pork. Two white breeds, and only
;wo, are used.
Third, there is not only enforcement
>f these breed requirements, but there
s also supervision by co-operation in
he feeding.
Fourth, no hog weighing less than
.65 pounds can be delivered to the
>acklng plant by a-'co-operatlve mem>er,
and if he delivers one weighing
nore than 200 pounds, he Is forced by
ils fellow members of the co-operaive
t<f take a reduction in price.
Fifth, the packing plant Is a genuine'
:o-operallve. The members did not
>ut up a dollar to build the plant, but
!ach pledged his credit to the full
Imit of the total amount. With the
ndorsements of all the members the
aoney was borrowed at a low rate of
nterest, with payments amortized
iver 20 years. With 20 equal paynents,
the co-operative knows just
iOw much to deduct, pro rata, from
he receipts of each member, to meet
ayments.
American farmers will be forced by
conomic laws, which are inexorable,
o increase their yields per acre and

from Europe, then we will owe much
to European agriculture, even though
We are the most etricient farmers in

Look Out for Soy Bean Seed Frauds.
One of our serious problems next
spring will be to get soy bean seeds
of the varieties best suited to our
conditions and in the quantities we
Wish t? sow. The drouth reduced
the expected large supply of seed
and there may not be enough of the
popular and better varieties.
Seeds of some varieties are being
bought up now for speculative purposes
and there is danger of a repetition
of the frauds perpetrated last
spring and brought to light by R.
W. Hamilton of the South Carolina
Extension Service. There is only one
way we can be sure of buying the varieties
we wish. That is by demanding
certified seed. It will be wise to
locate such seed without further delay
and buy them at once, and all
persons having such seed should advertise
promptly in their local andl
| farm papers. In the meantime we
might consider producing crtiflec
seed ourselves. ? The Progressive
Farmer.
What It Mean* When We Patronlzi
Bootleggers.
The first thing to think about ii
personal influence. All of us have ii fluence.
Even the poorest and most
Ignorant man has It. There is th >
influence of example, of fashion, of
custom. Let a man or boy find that
you drink and Neighbor A drinks an 1
Neighbor B drinks and Neighbor 0,
and he decides that drinking is the ;
normal thing. Let a man or boy find
that you refuse to drink and it sets
him wondering if he should not refuse
also. There are those who drink and
those who do not. You have one vote
to cast, one man's influence to thro v
in the balance, for one side or tl e
other. Which side deserves it most?
" Then there is the influence of fina icial
patronage or support. This s
always important. Not a bootleggur
would be in business today if somebody
didn't make it to his financlil
Interest to do so. Every time you criATHERS

strength, lift, encouragement, stimulation
to the bootlegging business.
And what is the bootlegging business
doing? It is killing such young
men as ttfe one found dead in* his
car recently. No doubt he was once
the pride of a fond farln mother, but
today they are burying his body and
her hopes in a disgrace that not even
death can dignify. Nor are even girls
exempt. On our table is a letter
from a ma nin another state asking
where a young girl who has brought
shpme to her family and blighted all
her future can be sent?and do doubt
in the vast majority of su^h' cases it
is , the dethronement of reason and
prudence through "taking a* drink"
that starts the tragedy.
These are, of course, extreme instances.
But all of us can think of
otner boys such as one we recall at
this moment?a lovable, winning fellow
with fine qualities of mind and
Heart wno snouia Dy now nave naa
a distinguished career and the happiness
of a home, but drinking has defeated
all the high hopes of his family
and his friends. And all of us
can think of women such as one we
recall now?of fine family and fine
character, but whose life is a tragedy
because of what whisky has done to
the man she trusted. .
Every time we patronize the bootlegging
business we help ssupport,
nurture, strengthen and protect an institution
that is e^en now preparing
to take some boy?maybe your boy or
your neighbor's boy?and carry him ,
to such a death as the poor, fellow
who died in his car. Every time you
buy a quart of whiskey, you throw
your influence and your support to

Winter Plowing Mare Needed Than
I:Vi r.
Where cotton i 3 i commercial crop,
every winter has pe riods and intervals
of open weather si itable to plowing.
In this respect we lhve an important
advantage over oui Northern brother
farmers, whose land is semented with
ice from late fall to early spring.'
There is an advjant#ge in being able
to plow between I leriods of freezes,
and this advantage comes not in the
fall or spring, b|it in the winter.
When winter |pl iwing is done between
periods vlf;. ffreezing weather,
we have lour advantages:
1. Incests in I tl e frozen sail area
are killed.
2. Later, freeze* kill other ipsects
brought, to the surface.
3. The top stn fa of S9H is crumbled
by the frde2 hg ahd miade into
good seedbed c< nditioa and then
plowed under. j ' TO, 4.
Unfrozen so lj is brought to the ii
surface to be jro sen and made into ii
good seedbed com ition, n
Thus we get la Iptfble'^benefit from
midwinter plovfir d that we do not ti
get from fall pic wing. While these n
benefits do nof ;ome from the fall I E
plowing, they arc offset by the early ii
sowing of croijs then that cover the ' d
soil throughout tie winter; hence fall c
plowing should always be done as far d
as is possible The point we are p
trying to make is mat winter plowing 0
can be dope aid that it carries with F
