Winter Eggs! 
See to it that there is song and 
cackle, scratch and action, going on in 
your poultry yard. 
That’s when the eggs come.

PAN-A-CE-A 
See them get busy. It gives hens pep. 
Nux Vomica is what does it—that greatest 
of all nerve tonics. A Pan-a-ce-a hen can’t 
hold still. It’s her good feeling that makeg 
her hop around. 
Pan-a-ce-a has Quassia in it to make hens 
hungry. Great combination! One makes them 
eat—the other helps them digest what they 
eat. 
No dormant egg organs when that com¬ 
bination gets to work on a hen’s system. You 
just get eggs—eggs. 
A Pan-a-ce-a hen is always a hungry hen— 
an industrious hen. She gets off the roost 
winter mornings, ready to scratch for her 
breakfast. 
Tell your dealer how many hens you have. 
There’s a right-size package for every flock. 
100 hens, the 12-Ib. pkg. 200 hens, the 25-lb. pail 
60 hens, the 5-lb. pkg. 500 hens, the 100-lb. drum 
For fewer hens, there is a smaller package.

Despite shortage of hay and com silage you can 
keep up milk production. Here is a feeding plan 
that will do it. Experiment stations and careful 
investigation prove it. 
Use DRIED BEET PULP 
Instead of hay or corn silage 
In tests, 6 pounds of Dried Beet Pulp have replaced j. ^ ^ A') 
10 pounds of mixed hay. It costs no more and increases 
milk yields 2 to 6 pounds a day. In other tests 1 pound of Dried Beet Pulp replaced 6 pounds of corn Bilage. It pro¬ 
duced 10% more milk and improved health of cows There is big economy and profit in feeding Dried Beet Pulp. 
It is the Sugar Beet, dried, after the extraction of the sugar. It is a succulent, palatable, nutritious and whole¬ 
some vegetable feed. A , k Yo ur Feed Dealer

The Cooperative Play 
The Mythical Meetings of a Mythical Board—Act 3 
For farmers and lumbermen.

Baltimore, Md. 
rriHIS is the third 
M. act of the play, “Is 
Cooperative Marketing Here to Stay?” If you 
read one of these acts, be sure to read all of 
them, because the series covers the progress of 
a mythical board from its organization, through 
its early troublesome days up to the time when it 
begins to operate as a real business organization. 
Act 3—The March Meeting of the Board 
In which the board replaces the Always Absent 
Director. The Fat Director shows his mettle. 
The scene is the new director’s room, a rec¬ 
tangular, well-lighted room with a lo g table in 
the center. Chairs are placed at the table and 
at each place is a large blotter, a supply of 
blank paper, pencils, a program of the meeting 
and two typewritten reports. One shows the 
financial condition of the cooperative as of 
February 28. The other analyzes activities for 
the month of February. 
The Director-Who-Plays-Politics, the Me- 
too Director and the Fat Director enter the 
room. 
Director-Who-Plays-Politics: I hear that cur' 
friend who never comes to the meetings has 
resigned. 
Me-too Director: That so? 
Pat Director: Well, from what I knoW it 
wasn’t altogether voluntary on his part. 
Director-Who-Plays-Politics: What do you 
know about it anyway? 
The Fat Director looks carefully around, 
then pulls his companions over to the corner 
and lowers his voice: Well, Miss Bower, the 
telephone girl, tells me that the President 
called him up apd asked him if he was going 
to come to this meeting and when he said he 
didn’t know, the President gave him an 
awful peeling. 
The Director-Who-Plays-Politics grows 
thoughtful. Presently he signals the Me-too 
Director and quietly leaves the room. As the 
two men go out the President, Secretary and 
Business-like Director enter. 
President: Yes, I told him that he had a 
responsibility to meet and that if he didn’t 
care to assume it, he had better make way for 
some one who would. 
Business-like Director: You did the right 
thing. 
Secretary: Have you in mind a successor? 
President: No. It is up to the board to elect 
his successor and I think the best way will be 
for us to discuss very frankly the men who 
are available and to choose the best one in 
sight. 
Business-like Director: Quite right. 
The Director-Who-Plays-Politics enters with 
the Me-too Director and the Suspicious Di¬ 
rector. The other Directors are now all present 
except the Fat Director. 
President: Be seated, gentlemen, and come 
to order. 
The Secretary notes the absence of the Fat 
Director and whispers to the President who 
smiles. At this point the Fat Director enters 
beaming. He smiles and nods to all present, 
pulls out a fat cigar and settles himself com¬ 
fortably in his chair. 
President: Our secretary is to be commended 
on the new arrangements for our meeting. 
Business-like Director: I like particularly 
the written reports. I wish we might have 
them for study in advance of our meetings, 
however. 
Secretary: I think I can arrange to do it. 
The session begins. The roll is called, and 
the typewritten treasurer’s report examined 
and adopted. 
President: Before we go any further, I would 
like our Secretary to read a communication 
to the board. 
The Secretary reads the resignation of the 
Always-Absent Director. 
Busihess-like Director: Move it be adopted. 
Suspicious Director: Second the motion. 
■ The Fat Director starts to open his mouth 
but the President puts the question. 
All vote “Yes” but the Fat Director who 
does not vote. 
President: What will you do about a suc¬ 
cessor? 
Business-like Director: Who is eligible? 
Secretary: Any member living in the re¬ 
signed director’s district. 
Business-like Director: Who are some of our 
strong members there? 
The Director-Who-Plays-Politics looks anx¬ 
ious and reaches under the table to kick the 
Me-too Director. 
Me-too Director: John Asbury is an awfully 
good man. 
Suspicious Director: I think so, too. 
President: Do you know him personally? 
Suspicious Director: No, but I hear him well 
spoken of. 
Secretary: Is he a farmer? 
By THE SILENT DIRECTOR 
The Me-too Director 
looks helplessly at the 
Director-Who-Plays-Politics. The Fat Direc¬ 
tor's eyes begin to twinkle as he recalls the 
sudden disappearance from the room in the 
early part of the meeting, of the Me-too 
Director and the Politic an and their return 
with the Suspicious Director. 
Pat Director: Well, he is probably as much 
of a farmer as some of the rest of us. How 
about it? (turning to the Director-Who-Plays- 
Politics) . 
Director-Who-Plays-Politics: Oh, he’s a 
farmer all right. 
Business-like Director: Oh, you know him, 
do you? Tell us about him. 
Director-Who-Plays-Politics: He’s a darn 
fine fellow! 
Business-like Director: Is he a successful 
farmer? 
Director-Who-Plays-Politics: Well, he has 
some money. 
Secretary: How did he make it? 
Me-too Director, in response to appealing 
glance from Director-Who-Plays-Politics: Guess 
he must have made it farming. 
At this point the Fat Director gets to his feet. 
His pleasant face has hardened. He obviously 
is mad through and through: Mr. President, 
he shrills, pointing a shaking forefinger at 
the Director-Who-Plays-Politics across the 
table; Mr. President, this thing has gone far 
enough. 1 know John Asbury. I went to 
school with him. He never made a dollar in 
his life. His father left him money. He has 
lost most of it. I wouldn't trust him with the 
management of a dollar of mine. He is a good 
fellow, yes, if you are looking for a clever 
companion or a boy who’ll play the game with 
you, hut. as a business man he’s a joke. There’s 
a deal on to put him on this board. I want the 
rest of you to know it. We don’t want him. 
We want a man here who can manage his own 
affairs well; one who has made his own money; 
one whose judgment is worth something; 
and above all we want a man to come onto this 
board who represents his district. Not one 
who is landed here by an inside deal. 
Business-like Director: I move that the 
election of a director to fill the vacancy now 
existing be deferred until the next meeting of 
the board. 
Director-Who-Doesn t-Smoke: Second the mo¬ 
tion. 
The President puts the question. It is carried. 
Pat Director: I move that the Secretary call a 
meeting of farmers in the district where the 
vacancy exists and that our President go there 
and tell them of the kind of a man we need 
on this board. 
All nod their heads except the Director- 
Who-Plays-Polities and the Suspicious Direc¬ 
tor. They glower at the Fat Director with 
mingled rage and admiration. He merely grins 
and lights another cigar. 
President: So ordered. 
Secretary: Our attorney desires to present 
a matter to the board. 
President: Tell him to come in.
