CO-OPERATION 
A  NEW  BOOK  -;-  By  JOHN  J.  DILLON 
(1)  How  has  the  need  of  farm 
co-operation  developed? 
(2)  What  is  organized  co-opera¬ 
tion,  and  how  does  it  differ  from 
the  ordinary  help  of  neighbors 
among  each  other? 
(3)  What  are  the  principles  of 
organization  and  practice  best 
suited  to  success  in  organized  co¬ 
operation? 
(4)  How  may  organized  co-oper¬ 
ation  serve  the  farmer  in  the  mar¬ 
keting  of  crops  so  as  to  return  him 
a  fair  price  and  an  equitable  share 
of  the  consumer’s  dollar? 
These  questions  arc  answered  in 
the  new  book.  It  is  a  logical,  con¬ 
cise  treatment  of  the  whole  sub¬ 
ject.  Every  farmer  should  read  it. 
The  price  has  been  placed  at  the 
cost  of  production  because  of  the 
author’s  interest  in  the  subject.

EVENTS  OF  THE  WEEK 
DOMESTIC.  — -  A  cloudburst  which 
swept  Casper,  Wyo.,  July  24,  extending 
over  districts  to  the  west  and  northwest, 
caused  damage  amounting  to  $1,500,000. 
The  loss  to  the  Burlington  Railroad  be¬ 
tween  Armington  and  Thermopolis,  a 
stretch  of  80  miles,  is  estimated  at  close 
to  $750,000. 
'Negotiations  of  a  new  wage  contract 
for  155,000  anthracite  mine  workers  were 
abruptly  terminated  at  Atlantic  City,  N. 
J.,  July  27,  when  the  miners  moved  for 
immediate  adjournment  after  the  opera¬ 
tors  announced  their  unalterable  opposi¬ 
tion  to  the  “closed  shop”  and  “check 
off.”  Samuel  D.  Warriner  for  the  opera¬ 
tors  offered  a  two-year  agreement  at  the 
present  wage  scale  and  the  four  minor 
concessions  already  made.  He  suggested 
that  the  seven  demands  still  in  dispute 
be  referred  to  arbitration  and  that  the 
miners  in  the  public  interest  continue  at 
work  after  the  expiration  of  the  agree¬ 
ment  on  September  1. 
Joseph  Genatt,  aged  9,  of  414  West 
street,  West  Hoboken,  N.  J.,  was  torn  to 
death  July  27  by  two  Great  Danes 
which  mistook  him  for  an  unwelcome 
visitor  at  the  entrance  to  Floral  Park,  a 
small  amusement  place  and  picnic  ground 
near  Hudson  Boulevard  and  Angelique 
street,  North  Bergen,  N.  J. 
The  Hibernia  Bank  and  Trust  Com¬ 
pany,  of  Denver  Col.,  closed  its  doors 
July  27,  and  at  once  Deo  P.  Floyd,  secre¬ 
tary  of  the  institution,  and  John  Har¬ 
rington,  son  of  M.  C.  Harrington,  vice- 
president,  were  arrested  in  connection 
with  the  embezzlement  of  $453,000  in 
bonds  and  securities.  Young  Harring¬ 
ton  was  a  teller  in  the  bank.  M.  C.  Har¬ 
rington,  vice-president  of  the  bank,  said 
that  charges  of  defalcation  of  at  least 
$200,000  would  be  filed  not  only  against 
Floyd,  who  is  being  detained,  but  of  con¬ 
spiracy  to  defraud  the  bank  against 
Maurice  Mandell,  Denver  broker,  who  is 
alleged  to  have  been  Floyd’s  accomplice. 
The  national  crime  bill  is  more  than 
$3,000,000,000  a  year,  according  to  esti¬ 
mates  by  the  Custom  House,  the  police, 
credit  associations  and  other  authorities 
made  public  July  29  by  the  National 
Surety  Company.  The  greatest  single 
item  is  stock  'frauds,  the  annual  loss  from 
which  is  estimated  at  $1,000,000,000  by 
Seymour  L .  Cromwell,  president  of  the 
New  York  Stock  Exchange.  Fraudulent 
bankruptcies  were  estimated  by  Secretary 
Tregoe  of  the  National  Association  f 
Credit  Men  to  inflict  annual  losses  of 
$400,000,000  on  the  investing  and  specu¬ 
lating  public.  According  to  these  figures, 
every  man,  woman  and  child  in  the 
United  States  is  robbed  or  cheated  out  of 
about  $30  a  year ;  or,  putting  it  another 
way,  enough  crime  is  committed  in  the 
United  States  to  earn  an  income  of  $30 
a  head  to  every  American.  There  has 
never  been  a  time  in  the  history  of  this 
country  or  of  the  world,  when  crime  has 
been  so  prevalent,  according  to  Chairman 
William  B.  Joyce  of  'the  board  of  direc¬ 
tors  of  the  National  Surety  Company.  He 
pointed  out  that  the  $3,000,000,000  lost 
through  crime  was  a  larger  sum  by  $500,- 
000,000  than  the  total  of  the  country’s 
annual  imports. 
Nine  persons  were  killed  when  a  Penn¬ 
sylvania  eastbound  passenger  train 
crashed  into  the  automobile  in  which  they 
had  started  across  the  tracks  at  Liggett, 
Ind.,  July  29.  The  train  was  traveling 
about  50  miles  an  hour  and  was  two 
hours  late  because  of  another  accident 
near  Highland,  Ill.,  in  which  four  per¬ 
sons  were  killed.  According  to  G.  G. 
Gillespie,  in  charge  of  the  Liggett  tele¬ 
graph  tower,  who  witnessed  the  accident, 
the  tragedy  was  caused  by  the  attempt 
of  the  driver  of  the  automobile  to  cross 
the  tracks  ahead  of  the  train.  The  dead 
are :  Mrs.  Vella  Bostwick,  41,  of  Dan¬ 
ville,  Ill. ;  Richard  Bostwick,  16,  and 
Clarence  Bostwick,  13  months,  her  sons  ; 
May  Bostwick,  18 ;  Trilla  Bostwick,  13. 
and  Etta  Bostwick.  3,  her  daughters: 
Mrs.  Ethel  Slavens,  21,  of  Terre  Haute; 
Anna  Leona  Slavens.  3  months,  her 
daughter,  and  Raymond  Thomason,  21, 
of  Danville,  the  driver.  The  victims  at 
Highland  were:  John  Sezs,  40;  Sera 
Denka.  30;  Joe  LengyQe,  35,  and  John 
Sezs,  Jr.,  14.  all  of  Highland. 
A  fall  of  6.15  _  inches  of  rain  in  34 
hloubs,  the  heaviest  in  years,  caused 
serious  damage  around  Bloomsburg.  Pa., 
July  29.  Boats  were  used  in  Danville 
When  a  considerable  portion  of  that  town 
was  flooded  by  the  overflow  from  Ma¬ 
honing  Creek. 
In  a  statement  headed  “chasing  rain¬ 
bows”  the  Netherland  Chamber  of  Com¬ 
merce  in  New  York,  44  Beaver  street, 
July  28,  warned  American  citizens  of 
Dutch  ancestry  to  disregard  efforts  of  a 
certain  group  engaged  in  tracing  connec¬ 
tion  with  the  famous  Anneke  Jans  or 
Bogardus  families  of  New  Amsterdam. 
The  idea  of  tracing  such  an  ancestry 
would  be  to  file  claim  to  ownership  of 
Manhattan  property  that  belonged  to  the 
Dutch  settlers  300  years  ago.  “The 
statute  of  limitations  prevents  any  pos¬ 
sible  chance  of  recovery  even  if  the' claim 
seemed  perfectly  good.”  the  statement 
said,  “but  the  fact  is  that  all  suits  and 
proceedings  started  since  1847  on  a 
similar  pretext  have  been  invariably 
thrown  out  of  court  as  being  worthless. 
Any  lawyer  attempting  such  a  case  may 
be  said  to  be  guilty  of  conscious  fraud 
and  an  attempt  to  obtain  money  under 
false  pretenses.”  The  property  involved 
includes  the  Trinity  Church  site  and 
other  real  estate  now  worth  in  the  neigh¬ 
borhood  of  $1,000,000,000. 
Headed  for  Long  Beach,  where  they 
were  to  celebrate  the  birthday  of  one  of 
their  party,  four  women  and  a  man  were 
almost  instantly  killed  July  29  when 
their  automobile  was  struck  by  a  late 
“theater  train”  at  the  Merrick  road  cross¬ 
ing  of  the  Long  Island  Railroad  at  Rock¬ 
ville  Center.  The  train,  due  at  Rock¬ 
ville  Center  at  2 :14  A.  M.  and  at  the 
time  several  minutes  late,  was  running 
at  50  miles  an  hour  when  the  crash  oc¬ 
curred.  The  wreckage  of  the  automobile 
was  carried  almost  2,000  feet  before  the 
train  could  be  stopped.  The  owner  and 
driver  of  the  car.  Wm.  .T.  Gottleib.  who 
was  killed,  was  identified  by  a  summons 
for  speeding  in  Brooklyn,  which  he  had 
received  only  two  hours  before. 
Gov.  Smith  has  decided  to  recommend 
to  the  Port  of  Authority  of  New  York 
that  bonds  be  issued  forthwith  to  provide 
funds  with  which  to  begin  the  construc¬ 
tion  of  two  vehicular  tunnels  between 
Manhattan  and  New  Jersey.  The  es¬ 
timated  cost  of  the  completed  tunnels  is 
about  $50,000,000.  While  the  Governor 
does  not  attempt  to  say  w’here  the  tubes 
to  New  Jersey  should  go,  it  is  thought 
probable  they  will  tap  Manhattan  in  the 
vicinity  of  Fourteenth  street.  The  low¬ 
est  estimated  cost  is  $50,000,000.  It  may 
exceed  $60,000,000. 
Seven  bandits  killed  one  man  and  se¬ 
riously  wounded  three  others  and  stole

son  able”  prices  for  this  coal  are  to  pre¬ 
vail.  The  bituminous  coal  operators  of¬ 
fered  to  fix  prices  at  a  figure  which  the 
Government  could  approve  so  that 
charges  of  gouging  could  not  be  made. 
The  'bituminous  industry  suggested  at  the 
same  time  that  figures  on  costs  and 
profits  be  made  public  through  a  proper 
Government  agency  so  that  the  public 
could  have  a  fair  statement  always  on 
profits. 
FARM  AND  GARDEN.— York  Co., 
Me.,  and  the  town  of  Sebago,  Cumberland 
Co.,  are  now  under  corn  borer  quarantine. 
Information  _  regarding  restrictions  may 
be  obtained  from  the  State  Commissioner 
of  Agriculture. 
George  Wilson,  former  Nonpartisan 
League  worker  in  North  Dakota,  and  one 
of  'the  organizers  of  the  Farmer-Labor 
Reconstruction  League  of  Oklahoma,  was 
removed  as  the  president  of  the  Okla¬ 
homa  Agricultural  and  Mechanical  Col¬ 
lege,  July  27. 
Buckwheat  for  Hay 
Do  you  know  how  buckwheat  will  do 
as  hay  for  cows?  I  mean,  cut  it  green 
and  dry  it,  just  the  same  way  as  we  do 
with  hay.  Some  old  farmers  here  say 
that  buckwheat  is  no  good,  because  there 
is  plenty  of  water  in  it,  and  when  it  gets 
dry,  leaves  will  fall  and  only  dry,  hard 
straw  is  left.  p.  s.

Want  to  Know 
There  is  a  pond  1*4  acres  in  size  on  and  economic  way  to  clear  this  out?  The

$70,125  in  a  daring  and  spectacular  hold¬ 
up  near  Scranton,  Pa.,  July  30.  They 
stopped  a  Laurel  line  limited  train  at  a 
lonesome  spot  near  Moosic  and  stole  the 
money  intended  to  pay  the  employees  of 
the  'West  End  Coal  Company  at  Mo- 
naque.  The  bandits  turned  their  guus 
loose  in  the  crowded  train  in  order  to 
cow  'the  passengers  and  keep  them  from 
coming  to  the  aid  of  the  paymasters. 
They  killed  Edward  J.  Murphy,  1511 
Mulberry  street.  Scranton,  salesman  for 
the  Maloney  Oil  Company  and  wounded 
Arch  Ilenshall,  paymaster  for  the  West 
End  Coal  Company ;  P.  .T.  Durkan,  mo- 
torman  of  the  train,  and  Philip  Scrib¬ 
ner,  a  salesman. 
Louis  Buono,  7,  son  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
James  Buono.  of  29S  Bowes  place,  Pas¬ 
saic,  N.  J.,  died  in  the  Passaic  General 
Hospital  July  30  from  injuries  received 
when  he  and  his  brother.  Thomas.  5,  took 
some  sticks  of  dynamite  from  a  shed,  car¬ 
ried  them  to  a  vacant  lot  next  their  home 
and  threw  stones  at  them.  Both  were 
torn  badly  by  flying  rocks  in  the  explo¬ 
sion  which  followed  The  dynamite  be¬ 
longed  to  James  McElligott,  a  sewer  con¬ 
tractor. 
The  strike  of  trolleymen  of  the  Public 
Service  Railway  'Company  began  at  mid¬ 
night,  Aug.  1,  paralyzing  trolley  lines 
throughout  New  Jersey  and  leaving  1,- 
500,000  persons  daily  carried  by  the  cars 
dependent  upon  emergency  jitney  service. 
The  price  of  Tefined  sugar  fell  to  its 
lowest  level  sines  February,  July  31,  re¬ 
finers  quoting  it  at  8^  cents  a  pound. 
There  was  little  buying  because  of  wait¬ 
ing  for  a  further  drop. 
Four  youths  stole  $15,000  worth  of 
diamonds  from  the  store  of  Henry  Roth- 
ebberg  at  2168  Third  avenue,  New  York, 
July  31.  after  smashing  a  window.  They 
held  pedestrians  at  bay  with  revolvers 
and  escaped  in  an  automobile. 
The  bituminous  coal  industry  of  the 
United  States  stands  ready  to  meet  any 
emergency  which  may  arise  from  a  strike 
in  the  anthracite  fields.  The  industry 
presented  to  the  United  States  Coal  Com¬ 
mission  July  30  detailed  plans  for  the 
mining  and  distribution  of  sufficient  soft 
coal  to  meet  all  requirements  if  not  a 
pound  of  hard  coal  is  produced,  “Rea- 
this  subject,  after  obtaining  the  opinion 
of  a  number  of  farmers  regarding  buck¬ 
wheat.  It  does  not  seem  to  be  generally 
used  for  fodder  purposes.  There  is  an 
old  story  that  buckwheat  will  cause  a 
skin  disease  on  animals,  and  for  that 
reason  some  farmers  refuse  to  use  it  even 
for  bedding.  We  have  found  a  number 
of  farmers,  however,  who  feed  buckwheat, 
either  green  or  in  the  form  of  dry  fodder, 
and  they  say  they  get  good  results  from 
it.  Buckwheat  hay  does  not  seem  to  be 
equal  to  hay  made  from  wheat,  oats,  bar¬ 
ley,  or  even  rye,  but  stock  will  eat  it  if 
it  is  cut  early,  and  it  usually  gives  fair 
results.  Generally  speaking,  however, 
buckwheat  is  not  used  for  this  purpose.
