At this time of impending boll weevil damage it is well that there should be plenty of' hogs for the fu ture meat supply, as the living must be made.at homo during boll;weevil times. t" Co-operative Marketing Pays. The "County Agent,and Farm Bu reau" has the following to say in ro gard to what farinera of one county in Alabama have saved by the co operative . marketing of farm pro ducts: "ti ' *' "That co-operative marketing of farm products ls profitable and prac ticable 4s'clearly shown by results during tire last twelve months" in Cooees county, Alabama, which have foeen reported by County Agent ft. L. King. \ V y .li . . "For the last few years more or less co-operative marketing has been done by'the'farmers of that county, lt, is stated, and during their ilse al year, ondflng Oct. 30, their records show that the different co-operatlvo sales associations of the county mar keted 1,669,595 pounds of hogs, 385 tons of peanuts, 63 carloads of wa termelons and 800 bushels of sweet potatoes. " 'It is generally agreed,' says tho iSamson, Ala., Ledger, "that' this method of marketing brought ihe farmers ono cent moro per pound for their hogs, $5.00 per ton moro for their peanuts, $43.00 per car more for their watermelons, and 25 couts per bushel moro for their sweet potatoes, tho total of which amounts to $21,?19.95-the amount by which tho farmers are wealthier by prac ticing co-operation'." And yet some people doubt thnt co-oporatlvo marketing can bring In more money when it is hoing done all over tho United State's with all classes of farm products.

There was still plenty to see at Na ta8hquan and I took a long walk, chief ly In stunted spruces and In the bog the barrens or tundras of Labrador1 which occupies so much of the country in the sub-Arctic ?nd Arctic zones. Au-1 dubon says in his Journal: "To tread ' over the spongy moss of Labrador ls a task beyond conception until tried; at every step the foot sinks in a deep, soft cushion which closes ?ver lt, and it requires a good deal of exertion to pull lt up again.' Where this moss happens to be over a marsh, then you sink a couple of fer t deep every step you take ; to reach h ire rock is delight ful, and quit? a relief." In another place he says: "We crossed a savan nah ot many miles In extent; In many places the soil seemed to wave, under us, and we expected at ?ach step to go through th? superficial moss carpet. . . .
