Some of the labor unions ill this country have apparent ly followed such a short-sighted policy to their own discomfiture. As a guarantee of Ihe good faith1 and . righteousness of the Imotive, nearly all crop coltract-s used by growelers provide that the governor of tIle stpte shall appoint, one director 1wil shall represent the public ge'nerally.

Every thing done by the directors in opera ting the association affects the pro fiet of all members alike, including tht-ir own. They cannot, beeause of their position as directors, secure ad vantages fror themselves which do not apply in exactly the same degree to all othe mliviembers. How Directors Are Elected Wl(n the calipaign for signatures to the crop contract is completed, the stvte is (livided into distri-ts inl such a way tha the imembers in each dis trict, produce approximately the same number of bales of cotton (if it is a cotton marketing association). One directol is then nominated from each district and this nominee becomes a member of the board of directors of the state association. In nominating the directors each member casts one vote regardless of the size of the cron produce by him and marketed through the association. A co-operative association con tracts to receive and market all the crop of its members and to pay to membIers the proceeds therefrom less costs of selling and of amintaining the association. The association agrees to 'pool the crop by grade, variety, and kind and to pay each grower exactly the salme ailoilit per ptouid or other tinit for. tle saiie grade, variety, or kil or product delivered during the operation of a pool. With non-ler ishiable commodities, pools usually run tor a year, but the time varies with other olmmitities i from one fday up ward.

Sources of Strength In Contract Trhe crop contract is the means of making a growers' co-operative mar keting association a business concern instead of a failure. The contracts are legally sopmd and serve to protect all members fro mthe invasions thati are sure to be made against them by the enemies of co-operation. Weak kneed members are held in line in snite of temporarily high prices of fered by the middlemen who do not wish to see farme'rs succeed in bet tering their marketing conditions. Members who go into the asefociation meaning business are protected from the disloyalty of others who would sacrifice everything ror a tenporary personal advantage. This is the es sence of true co-operation. The contract provides that unless enough growers sign up to insure that a certain stated minumum amount of the cron will be marketed co-opera tively the contract does not bind any one. Thus in signing up the first contracts growers are protected from beloning to a weak association. A satisfactory volume of business is as sured before anybody is bound. T1he contrac-s runfor a period of years usually from 5 to 15. This gives time for the organization to be'come thorohily established and to reflect the bcnefits resulting there fro ito mnimbers. A non-year asso ciation could not fori the permanent trade connections that would best enable it to cut out the losses in mar keting for which it is organized. The crop contract makes an association ihe strongest factor in the particular trade in which it is engaged. -- o CROPPING YOUNG ORCHARDS HAS NUMEROUS ADVANTAGES They Help Reduce Cost of Bringing an Orchard to Profitable Bearing, Proiote Cultivation, and Fre (uently Yield Some Profit-Var ious Catch Crops Recommended. One of the diliculties of fruit. grow ing, either as a main-industry or as an incidental to-general tartm ing, is the length of time that must elapse be fore the orchard begins to yield re fins. When. as in many sections this spring, a freeze destroys or great ly reduces the exl)ected crop, the loss to many growers, including those who expected to harvest their first fruit in WEAK, NERVOUS, ALL RUN-DOWN Missouri Lady Suffered Until She Tried Cardui.-Says "Result Was Surprising."-Got Along Fine, Became Normal and Healthy. Springfield Mo.-"My back was so weak I could hardly stand up, and I would have bearing-down pains and was not well at any time," says Mrs. D. V. Williams, wife of a well-knows farmer on Route 6, this place. "I kept getting headaches and having to go to bed," continues Mrs. Williams describing the troubles from which she obtained relief through the use of Cardui. "My husband, having heard of Cardul, proposed getting it for me "I saw after taking some Cardul ... that I was improving. The result -was surprising. I felt like a different person. "Later I suffered from weakness and weak tack, arid felt all run-down, I did not rest well at night, I was so nervous and cross. My husband said he would get mae some Cardul, which he did. It strengthened me . . . My doctor said I got along fine. I was in good healthy condition. I cannot say too much for it." Thousands of women have suffered as Mrs. Williams describes, ijntil they found relief from the use of Cardul, Since it has helped so many, you should not hesitate to try Cardui ti troubled with womanly ailments.

The loss under some conditions can be partly offset and other benefits can be gained by growing vegetable crops between the rows of youn gfruit trees, say specialists of the United States De partment of Agriculture. Plant Vegetables Bet ween Tree Rows. EIxperienced orchardists frequently tind it advantageous to grow crops be tween the tree rows until the trees reaeh bearing age. After bearing be gins it-is impracticable to ''double an orchard. As a rule, inter cropping can not be practiced in a peach orchard after the third season from planting. Six to eight years is usually the limit for an apple orchard, the exact time depending on the var iety, vigor and growth, and other fac tors. Wturther, the trees will usually shade the ground too much for the growing of vegetable crops by the time the ages mentioned are reached. In an "off year," with an orchard that was expected to come into bear ingfor the first time, many fruit grow ers will find it to their advantage to plant crops of potatoes, (orn*1, soy beans, cowpeas, shell-beans, or sweet potatoes in States where they cant be raisedl betwveen the orchard rows. The growing of potatoes, however, in an orcha-rd in the "northern fruit belt" is a dotubtful practice, since the dig ging of them amounts practically to a late cultivation of the ground, and under some cond(1itions this might stim ulate a late growth of the trees, which would be undlesirable. In this way the farmer ean utilize about half the space of his 'rchard land without injury te he trees otr seriously hampering the tentporlary crop. Tomnatoes and oth - Ir tructk crops may also be grown ir th ocar.These are somet im es ed for a quick growth.

In prun ning the plants all side 'shoots and suckers are remove(l, leaving only the main stem with its leaves and clus ters of fruit. It is easiy to deter mine which are the side shoots and Which are the young blossom clusters because the shoots appear directly ii the little pocket where the leaf joins the stem, while the fruit. clusters ap pear. on the naked side of the stem where thereis no leaf. Pinch out the side shoots, but be careful not to in jure the blossom or fruit clusters. Tomato stakes should b~e from 4 tc 6 feet long and 1 to 1% inches through at the thickest part. T1hey mar he small saplings cut in the woodls and sha rpene~l at one cad, oi they may be split from a log that h free f'romi knots.

The stakes should be driven firmly into the grounsd, one on the north side of each tomato plant, and the plants tied to them once a week during the active growing period with soft cord or narrow strips of muslin. Sometimes the tomato plants will reach'the tops of the stakes and then hang over until the tip will touch the ground, clusters of fruit. being form ed all along the stems. Twenty-five to 50 tomato plants trained to stakes will supply the aver age family with all the tomatoes need ed for use while fresh, also for cann ing. It pays to go to some little trouble to have them early, also to stake and prune them so that the quality will be the best.
