Q ,J I: 4- THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER: FEBRUARY 23 1892 - STATE AGENCY DEPARTMENT. Under this Head Will be Found Every thing Relating to the Agency. This page will hereafter be devoted to the Business Agency and co opera tive trade. Communications from all interested will be accepted. No long winded, theoretical papers wanted, but idevs solicited. We want your best thoughts and can't publish, as a rule, more than about one quarter column articles. I am glad to announce that an ar rangement has been made by which I am now prepared to send The Pro gressive Farmer, State Alliance Or an, for one year to every Sub Business Agent not now a subscriber who will end me fifty cents. It is hoped that every Agent will take advantage of thr special arrangement. It is abso lutely necessary, if . you would keep posted in the workings of the State Agency, and thereby be able to serve the brethren acceptably, that you read this piper. W. II. Worth, S. B. A. The brethren will please take note of the rise in pork products, all of which are from ono-eighth to one cent higher. Always give plain shipping direc tions, giving the line on which your station is located, unless it is a well known point, and if a pre-pay station, so state. It is expected that you will take this piper to your Sub-Alliance, show it to the brethren and talk freely with them about what it contains. Do the game with every circular, or price list that you receive from this office. Unless you are a bonded agent, please accompany each order with sufficient money to pay the bill. It is posit ively forbidden by the State Execu tive Committee that the State Business Agent should send out goods except in such cases. All brethren wishing to purchase g nden seed of any kind will find it to their interest to place their orders with this office. By so doing they will get 20 per cent, off of published catalogue prices, and there will still remain a small brokerage to the State Alliance. As the amount of bill of some goods cannot always be determined before hand, be sure to send enough money to pay it. If you send too much it will be placed to your credit. If you wish small amounts returned, state if you have any preference as to how it shall be sent, whether by registered mail, check or in stamps. Your bill of lading always calls for oods in 4 "good order." Be careful to examine every package before taking it out of the depot, or before surrender ing your bill of lading. The transpor tation company is compelled to deliver in good order or make the deficiency good. If you surrender your bill of tadirr- before this is done you have no claim on tliein for it. Do not expect to get your goods on the day after you order. Remember that no goods are kept in stock at this office. Your order will be mailed to the manufacturer or wholesale dealer on the same day on which it is received at this office. If you live on a through line some classes of goods can reach you within two or three days, others will require a week or ten days. In all cases where good3 are adver tised to be delivered without freight charges, you will be expected to pay whatever charges are due at your sta tion and send to this office your freight bill as so much cash, or with request o remit. Now, remember this, and lonrt get cros3 because you ave to pay the freight. In many instances this .Tungcment is necessary in order to we delay in shipping. I7.nder our present system of business, vith S'4b-Agents trading directly with tie St-vxe .Agent, we already have, and r pecc tctoave, a still larger number of names on our books. We earnestly quest all who open accounts with i us office to begin right now and make note of evry transaction. Should at a iy time anerror on our part occur, notify us at once, pointing out as clearly as possible where the error lies. V it is hereby ordered by the Executive Committee of the North Carolina Farm I ers' State Alliance, in session at Ral : . eighthis day, that the State Alliance - Business Agent fill orders only from County and Sub-Alliance Business igents when cash for the full amount ' of the bill shall accompany the order. Kxcept orders from such Agents as shall have filed their justified legal bond with the State Business Agent for twice the amount expected to be due at anv one time. XV. S. Barnes, Sec'y Treas. N. C. F. S. A. The' small amount of cash in the f hands of the State Business Agent, and I the increasing business of his office, I render it necessary that the above i orders should be made. All agents ! trading on the thirty day plan must send in cash to the full amount of their 1 bills not later than twenty-five days from date of bill, in order that it may be duly credited within the time pre I seabed by bond. One brother iu ordenng a sewing 'u .cinne to a ay, says: "une ot my neighbors has just bought a machine 1 jr sixty dollars." Well, we are sorry for the man, whoever he may be, whether Alliance man or not, who is so d -luied as to al'ow himself thus gulled by an agent. Do you know that that machine when it left the factory did not cose more than $20, or $25 at most? lae day of many patents on machines has expired. The cost of manufticturi ng is now reduced to a minimum, and whoever is induced to pay more than $15 or $20 for a sewing machine isjed to contribute to the sup port of men who make their living by I their slick tongue, rather than by the . i. C il. - i owcai ui men- orow. We give below a letter, with its an swer, which will be of interest to many or tne brethren : Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 1, '92. Wm. B. Sellers. Stainback, N. C- Dear Sir and Bro. I have in my safe a check for $1,000 from the Durham Fertilizer Co., for the benefit of all those who used the eroods seized at Mebane in June of last year by the State Department of Agriculture, be cause of its being below the guaranteed analysis. The condition on which this check was deposited with me U, that if said guano did not produce as good field results as any goods bought from the Durham Fertilizer Co., or from any other company, then you were to make your claim for damages and I was to pay said damages out of the check in my possession. This check 1 have held for your protection. Fraternally, W. II. Worth, S. B. A. Mr. Sellers replies under date of Feb. 13, as follows: "My Alliance does not lay any claim for damages against the Fertilizer Co. on the seized goods. The last was as good as the first and the first as good as the last, and all good enough. You can return the money. ' 4 Yours fraternally, "Wm. B. Sellers, B. A." SIGN YOUR NAME TO ORDERS. I have two orders to-day without any name signed to order ; one from Greens boro, N. C, for seeds and guano, the other from Tweed, Buncombe county, about seed, potatoes, harrow, etc., etc. If parties who made order see this they will please rene w their orders, as I have no way of knowing who sent them. Be sure and sign all communications. W. H. Worth, S. B. A. Please read carefully the following circular, which has just been sent out to every Business Agent in the State whose name appears on my books. It contains information for you: GUANO CIRCULAR The following resolution was adopted at the State Alliance, which met at Moreheai City, August, 1891: (See Proceedings, page 41.) Resolved, That the State Alliance recommend that none of its members buy any fertilizer from any firm or manufacturer who will not contract with your State Agent to give same terms and prices as they do their local agents and best customers then put a brokerage of fifty eents per ton, one half to be paid to agent for handling it ana the other half to the State Execu tive Committee to pay expenses of Business Agent's office, and to keepl Lecturers m the held. In pursuance with the above resolu tion, I addressed the following letter to every fertilizer manufacturer regis tered as doing business in North Caro lina for 1891: Gentlemen : Please quote me prices at which you will furnish fertilizers for the year 1892, to the N. C. Farmers' State Alliance. The price named to be for goods f . o. b. cars at your works, at Itichmond, Va., and at Norfolk, Va., in any quantity from 10 tons to 15,000 tons (we sold 15,000 tons this year,) terms cash April 1st, 1892, or farmers' note, at option of farmer, to bear in terest from April 1st at 8 per cent., payable in cotton sections December 1st, 1892. in tobacco sections April 1st, 1893. The State Business Agent to be, in no wise, held responsible for the payment of any notes, nor under obli gations to order any specified quantity of goods. The guano in all cases to be bagged and tagged according to North Carolina law, and if necessary you are to advance the freight chargts on at least one third of the goods ordered as above. You are to guarantee the goods by the analysis of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture, to contain not less than 2 per cent, of ammonia, 8 per cent, availab e phosphoric acid, 2 per cent, insoluble phosphoric acid and 3 per cent, potash. These ingredi exits to be derived from the following sources : Ammonia One-third from sulphate of ammonia and nitrate of soda; the balance from animal sources. Phosphoric acid At least 3 per cent, from animal bone, the balance from Charleston rock. Potash From sulphate and muriate of potish and tobacco stems. The goods are to be delivered be tween December 1st, 1891, and May 30th, 1892, in such quantities not less than car load lots, as the Alliance may order. You will please quote me your best figures on your other brands of guano, and state whether or not you will fill our orders on fame terms and conditions as you furnish your agents and the trade. Please let me have your answer by September 26th, and oblige, O Very respectfully, yours, &c , W. H. Worth, S. B. A. The reason I named the sources from which ammonia, phosphoric acid and potash was to be derived is, that the elements named are the best. Ammonia especially varies in effect on crops that derived from hoofs, horns, leather scraps, etc., being soluble by laborat- ing methods, but not available in the soil, mineral ammoniates being quick to act and animal ammoniates being slower. Nine manufacturers bid. Twelve an swered declining, and fifty-six did tot remv at an. xiij contract wTas awarded to the Durham Fertilizer Co.. they giv- ing the best terms and prices " The following terms and prices was J the result: N.

You will observe that this office re ceives fifty cents per ton on guano one half of which is paid the Sub or County Agent delivering, and one-half retained by this office to pay expenses of the same. This fifty cents per ton is paid to this office by the fertilizer company. The only way we can hope to suc ceed is to stand by the spirit of the above resolution, and buy guano from those only who will recognize our or ganization by selling through our agency. If we will all do so, our efforts will be crowned with success Please place your orders at once, as the goods are now ready to be shipped. Later in the season the transportation companies will be so pressed with work they cannot deliver promptly. It will not cost you any more, and will insure prompt delivery. Send notes direct to manufacturer at Durham, N. C. Unity all along the line should be the watch-word. Blank notes sent on application. Fraternally, W. II. Worth, S. B. A. CO-OPERATION IN ITS INFANCY. Co operation of the agricultural classes in commercial lines is in its in fancy in America. Several experi ments in that line having proven abor tive. The Grange did not succeed as they tried the plan of co-operative stores, which in most cases piovti disastrous. The reason was 1. That they took into their organiza tion those whose interest it was to pre vent success. 2. Merchandising was an unknown business to the agricultural classes, and they coming in direct competition with experienced merchants with large capital, no scheme was left unused to disintegrate the membership. 3 While competing on the same basis, having the same expenses of rent, insurance, salesmen, interest on capital, shop-worn goods, a want of knowledgo as to the demands of the trade, etc., brought discord. In handling such goods a3 require personal inspection, such as dry goods, notions, etc , competition can be relied on to regulate profits, and the Alliance hopes to succeed by attempting to handle only such goo is a- can safely be bought without personal inspection, such as fertilizers, groceries, sewing machines, agricultural implements, etc.. thus saving the expenses of hand ling necessarily incident to the store system. Some of the difficulties met with in our system is the combinations of manufacturers, wholesale dealers, etc., who, having established systems of trade, are slow to adopt a new and untried experiment; the boycotting of their goods by retailers, should they sell through any system that would put the goods to the consumer cheaper than their own; hence they could not successfully compete. All of these objections can be over come, but not without a united, de termiaed effort on our part, resorting to such means as are necessary to counteract the opposition and stand by our own system till we can demonstrate that our system will not be to the detri ment of those from which we wish to buy. If our system should not meet with opposition from those who have been living by our trade going through their hands, it would be the best evi dence that our system was a failure. We should expect strenuous opposi tion from organized trades, and meet it by showing a solid front, and if need be, buy goods only from such firms and manufacturers as will sell to us on the same terms and conditions as they do to others buying like quantities, etc. Should we look to those who profit by old systems to approve our course? No sane man would expect anything else but opposition from them. That our systems have proved suc cessful in every detail is not claimed and not expecte d in the infancy of our work, but that much good has been accomplished, none will deny. Where we nave iauea let us amena, going on in improvements till we shall succeed, for therein is a wide field of usefulness. If your child does not always do as you might wish, what is the natural thing to do? Why, correct it; but in so doing let us imitate the parent- spank the young one, but give notice to the world that we, and not otners, propose to do the spanking. The surest way to' be rich is to learn to be contented. TO BUSINESS AGENTS. Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 20, 1892. OUR PRICE LIST.
