That there muit be ome more efficient mean* of marketing farm
products than those now at the services of the farmer is beyond <jue*-
tjon. Under present conditions the farmer gets too little of the money
paid by the consumer. The farmer sells a bushel of peanuts for $1
The consumor pays any where from two to four dollars * bushel fur
them. The farmer sell* a dozen **gg* for 19 rents. The consumer pay*
thirty for th«-m. The farmer sells a pound of cotton for J1 cents. The
mill uays sixteen cents fur it. The farmer sell* a bu«M of kaffir corn
for forty cents. Th'.- next year he buys it back for seventy five cents or
more in the form of chop*. So all through the list, more strikingly
true in the matter of perishable articles.
The dealers are not to blame. As a general thing their profits art
not unreasonable, when the umount of risk they take is considered. It
is the result of a lock of organization that doe* the great damage. For in-
stance a group of farmers ship a car lead of watermelons to Cincinnati.
There may be twice a* many melons on the Cincinnati market that day
as it can digest. The same day Buffalo may be crying for more melons.
In shipping to the first place the growers are not able to realize enough
out of the ear to pay the freight, when, if they had shipped to the sec-
ond point a nice profit could have been realized.
At one time the citrous fruit industry of California was in just
such a disorganized condition. Growers were becoming bankrupt, and
values were depreciating and general discouragement permeated the
state. Then the idea of co-operation was started, efficient forces for

A /Vian and His Wife
After having heard many divorce cases last week, ai the close of the
Irwi.i suit Judge Brown took occasion to deliver a wise symposium of
the duties and obligations fif the marriage relation. In hit. talk the
Judge called attention to the fact that the wise man or woman first
learns to control his temper. He stated that a person who had no tem-
per was worthless, but that the more temper one had the better, provi-
ded it was properly controlled. He pointed out that much of the un-
happiness among married people resulted from the lack of a conciliatory
spirit on the part of both husband and wife. He also gave some good
advice, urging that to live hapily each must be willing to overlook the
faults of the other and that both must strive to prevent any ill feeling
to grow up between them.
The Judge's admonition was well taken and it would have been
well had every married man and woman in the county been present to
hear it.
presented for
settlement and filed in said court
his final account and report of his

tor and his petition for distribution

1914 at the hour of ten o'clock a.
m. in the county court room in the

We Need More Dairy Cattle
Now that the hardware stores have taken up the matter of provid-
ing the farmers in this section of the country with cream separators it is
found there is a crying need of more dairy cattle. Of what use is the
cream separator without the milk cows to go with them?
At Ashland, Wis., the bankers provided a fund of $10,000 with
which to purchase thoroughbred dairy cows to be sold to the farmers
at cost and on easy terms, l'he farmers make monthly payments and
thus keep up a perpetual fund which is used over and over again in
bringing good dairy cattle into the country. A source of ready money
is provided and the farmers are more or less independent of weather
conditions.
A good cow ought to bring in a monthly revenue of $15. Every
farmer who has a separator ought to keep from six to ten cows I They
haven't the cows and are not able to buy them. Could not our business
men get together and devise some plan whereby the farmers who wish
to engage more extensiveiv in the dairy business would be enabled to
get the necessary milk cows? If such a plan could be out in operation
and two hundred head of good Jersey cows brought into this country
the gross receipts from the sale of cream ought to be increased several
thousand dollars per month, thus helping every citizen of the county.
There is no spot in this whole country so well adapted to dairying
as Greer county With its succulant mosquite grass, its hills and val-
leys, its rich prarie lands, the cheapness with which feedstuff rnay be
grown, and its climate this ought to be one of the richest dairying dis-
tnets in the United State?, and it will be if we take the proper interest
in it.
