I (To be continued) ENGINEERING ON FARMS IS IMPORTANT MATTER (Continued from page one) results of the combination of social and industrial conditions in the United states is that people have a tendency to build temporary homes. . The habit of moving on in search of something better has brought oh a custom of building with the sup position qr intent, that the house will be sold or leased. The inevitable result is that the structures are placed with indiffer ence and built of cheap material, with little attention to permanency, convenience, comfort and attractive ness. ' Throughout this series two pur poses are kept in view: First to sug gest to the reader possible improve ments or betterments of conditions about the far s and homeland sec ond,, how best to accomplish the defi nite purpose when finally it is form ed. :; , With the first purpose in view, each subject is. "opened with inquiries or suggestions. Not all thi readers will find alt the topics of interest but .nearly everyone will find that one or more will touch matters that are of vital intirMt Snrplv evervnne. not 'already" having it, will be interested ' "1 P .4 1 .in water supply tor tne nome -ana ivrvrhndv nutrlit to studv and be constantly on the alert about home sanitation. Can any farmer in the hills say he is indifferent about the washing away of his soil? The Firtt Lesson As the first lesson, (if we may call if that) the reader is urged to get into a habit of seing possibilities in things and of seeing more than one .way to do things. Men with this habit find some thing of interest everywhere they go and have some thing to study and talk about- at all times. They are the progressive, wide awake, successful, helpful neighbors. ,,It is thus that life on the farm may, instead" of being dull and stupifying, become - the most interesting and fas cinating busincss--and in saying this the author does not lose sight of the fact that the business must return a profit. ' . v. In some of the improvements or work '.that the land owner may- deter mine to catty out, the service of lan , engineer may be needed temporarily. .For instance " if ' the question be whether -or not a certain spring can be made to deliver water to the home, or where to locate the home so that tne spring, can De tised there should be reliable work ' done with an en gineer's ievi.he" County Surveyor should be jable, to ...do thiahd to make a neat map showing i relative elevations and fdsov.to, adviseon oth er, simple problems. v If,- he '.cannot, then there .is vkn ; opportunity for the citizen to do his county a service by demanding .and! getting a xqunty sur veyor who. caili run a leyel, lay out tile drains andj hiflside-1 terraces,, speci fy and supenntenu- concrete ;work and the like. ' i ' -t Have cotirag, .-'to breakaway from precedent. Try to Icefejy jabreast with the foremost. Have you knownthe pleasure olbeing in ,thc ,l'cad ' 'Try it. Do not. spend time and labor on some work until by mature study you believe It will yield a reward either in money, pleasure or benefit to someone else. Why do some people go on 4 doing the same thing in the -same old way year after year and profiting noth ing? Why does a hen set? But don't be led by an enthusiast with a hobby, especially if he has some thing to sell. Don't be a "sucker. The world is full of setting hens and suckers. The man who is iri neither class is the one who thinks for himself who studies, not neces sarily books, but some books and papers will help a lot. A good wide-awake agricultural periodical will go a long way to break the hen of setting, and a catalog of a large mail-order house may save a man from being a sucker. Every farmer should have both, even if he never buys from a mail order house he can check the prices charged by his retailer and there are many things with ther prices, shown in , such catalogs that many people would buy with joy if they knew such things were in existence. Catalogs from makers and dealers in a special line of business generally do' not give their correct prices. Neither do they tell what the other fellows might offer if they had a chance. There are also some valuable trade circulars that can be had for the asking. Every owner of a farm should have a list of the bulletins published by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. These are supposed , to give the most reliable information that can be had on the subject treated. Most of these can be had for the asking. Write to your congressman and he will attend to it for you. Each state agricultural college also sends out many valuable bulletins that progressive farmers should have. '.!'., CO-OP EGG ASSOCIATION MAKES MANY MILLIONS (Continued from page oni) . generously enjoyed by members of the. Washington Egg and Poultry association. , Tangible benefits to Whatcom coun ty are seen in the operations ( of the Washington Co-operative Egg and Poultry association feed department which operates mills throughout the state located in heavy poultry, and dairy producing sections. From four to five hundred tons of oats per Lmonth are used in the manufactur ing of Co-Op feeds, and all come from Whatcom county, equaling a valuation in excess of $14,000 per month. In addition this immense feed manufacturing operations fur nishes an outlet for practically all straw produced in Whatcom county. This creates a profitable outlet for this produce which otherwise might be difficult to sell. Approximately 50,000 tons of feed were distributed to Whatcom county members of the poultrymen's own marketing agency in 1929 who directly participate in all of the earnings of the feed depart ment. For six years the net earnings have been refunded to poultrymen on an average of $3 per ton. This repre sents a general saving to producers and enables them to make the profit which formerly went to the inde pendent manufacturer. Unit System The Co-Op uses the unit system' of manufacturing and. places a -mill in every territory where there is suffi cient consumption of 'poultry and dairy feeds to make such a mill jus tifiable. This not only increases ser vice facilities of the organization, but it builds local payrolls and materially assists upbuilding of Washington's agricultural communities. Iri ' discussing the operation of the association's feed production, H. L. Mclntyre, head of the feed depart ment, said: "In the manufacture of Co-Op feeds we select and utilize only the best ingredients, for we realize that correct feeding of flocks means increased egg production, and we know the importance of furnish ing our members with well balanced, standardized feed. The association, through volume, manufacturing and buying of basic ingredients, is in a position to maintain a uniform feed regardless of 'market changes and grain fluctuations." "'We afso manufacture a high qual- jjtjr line of dairy feed, milled in our own plant, and hinder expert suoer- mSKiJi, and. in close co-operation with the state dairy associations in ar ranging formulas of balanced feed. We are constantly working to im prove our feeds, to the end that both Bad: lib Ilcclth A 7 's 1 .v.v.ws. JOHN C, SPENCER , "For the past year I have been in wretched health..

The policy has been to safeguard the interests of the pro ducer members, increasing the quality of the eggs and poultry produced, and to reduce costs of distribution to the end that both consumer and puroducer are benefited. Starting from 150 charter members in 1917, the association now numbers in ex cess of 10,000 active egg producers. Recently the association extended its scope of production into central and eastern Washington, for it now has branches in Yakima and Spokane. The association recently took' over the Spokane Farmers' Poultry association, and it is now an active factor in the development of Washington Co-op products.
