The Poultky Yard Month by Mox\th. 89 



Buymc]. — The same body or association may act in buying stock birds, eggs 

 for hatching, foodstufF>s, and appliances for the members. It is suggested that 

 each member might list his requirements for the month, these to be tabulated, 

 and tenders called for the combined large order, each member taking his monthly 

 turn at this woi'k if necessary, if found too small to warrant the engagement of 

 an assistant for the purpose. Payment might be made by debiting purchasers' 

 egg supply account. On arrival distribution might be made at once and no 

 storage need thus be needed. Through joint security advantage might be taken 

 of favourable markets to buy the season's foodstuffs. 



As an example of success from such joint action cniginafcing in a small 

 beginning, the Cape Egg C'rcle at Claremont, Capetown, is worthy of imitation. 



Orqanizdtion Widelii Nece.'t.tiiry. — It is hoped that organization will take 

 place throughout the Union. There is not a centre that does not need it, or 

 is not calling for it, and only when there are large numbers of such small suc- 

 cessful organizations throughout the countrj^ will Central and Federal organiza- 

 tion prove the success they should be, for only then will " Loyalty '' be the 

 watchword of our co-operative movement.
