In wool, dairy and produce and live stock the various or-- ganizations of co--operatives within the Indiara Farm Bureau federation have made great strides in the last year, and the same ean be said of the wool pool. Not to be outdone by any of the organ-- izations, the Indiana Farm Bureau On-- lon Growers' exchange, although com-- paratively young, is 'operating in a manner that is giving great satisfac-- tion not only to its officers, but te--its member growers as well. On Basis of Efficiency. Between May, 1922, the time of its organization, and August 1, 1923, the hdln::ol is Live Stock Producers' eommission showed a steady monthly _gain in the amount of live stock handled at the Indianapolis stock yards, and in that period did a total 'business of well over $16,000,000. More than $42,000 was returned to its pa-- troms in commissions and there is be-- ing accumullted steadily a reserve from which the next refund will be pald. The refunding of this amount of money, however, is not the only benefit reaped by members of this or-- ganization and of the farm bureau, The Live Stock Producers:.--Commis-- sion association has put live stock marketing at Indianapolis on a com-- petitive basis, as well as on a basis of efficiency, to the very great enhance-- ment of the live stock handling busi-- ness in Indiana's capital city. .

The Order Was for 65§ Tons.. * Thirteen dairy and produce stations have been organized in gleven counties under the farm bureau plan, and many more are in process of organization. None of these stations is under what may be termed full headway as yet, all being young, but during the month of August, 1923, eleven of thege sta-- tions handled 106,173 pounds of but-- fer fat; 54,815 dozens of eggs and 37,-- 550 pounds of poultry.

"It was \wonderful to see the spirit in which the campers entered into every pWhse of camp life.

The Indiana Farm Bureau federation has offered a statewide plan for mar-- keting wool direct from the farm to the mill with one handling for grading and assembling in quantities suited to mill demands. This has beep done at ac-- tual cost to the grower, which has been low, and the average price obtained has been from two to five cents above the average pald by home buyers with the possible exception of 1920, when prices early were much higher thear during most of the wool marketing season. s Sold Many 'Onions. ._Up to October the Indiana Farm Bu-- reau Onion Growers' exchange sold around 140 carloads of onions, which were sent to twenty states, and the work at that time had only just be gun.

Not only has the . existence of this department bad a stabilizing effect on the prices of. fer-- } tilizer, twine and feeds, but the ac--> tual saving on these "commodlth'i bought through this department, has amounted to many thousands of dol-- lars. This department also has bought many thousands --of.. tons. of coal of high quality at a price of from $1.50 to $2.50 a ton under the regular price. At Cinvinnati one of the most mod-- ern feftilizer factories in the United States has been btllt and its entire output placed at the disposal of the farm bureau. The purchasing depart-- ment recently placed an order for 655 tons, that represented farm bureau or-- ders from Clinton county.

Savings of $177.000 in refunds to members of the National Live Stock Producer# association during its first 291 months' operation at an average of 'approxlmately $5 per car, is not the big accomplishment desired, according ' to John G.

Farmers, with large herds oi cat-- tle that produce milk for the market, are urged to store ice for the sum-- mer months by 'attaches of the Wau-- kegan Health department to insure less loss of thol;&':roluco and to keep it in better col lon. Ice is extremely desirable, in. fact almost a necessity, in the businesé of market high--grade ufi in the opinion of the health advisors. + It is their suggestion that at least a ton and a half pf ice be stored for each milk cow, which would leave enough ice for houkehold use. This will cool the milk, allow for the melt-- age, and provide the margin for the housewife. R lce ponds can be built with little trouble, members 'of the department declare, and the erection of ice hous* es on farms without them is con-- sidered by them a piece of_ good business. " The Department of Agriculture has published in Farmers' Bulletin 1078, a complete history of harvesting and storing ice. The health department suggests that the farmers who have no ice houses write for the bulletin, which is free of charge while the sup-- ply last.
