COMMUNITY ORGANIZED FOR
NEIGHBORHOOD PATRIOTISM
Interesting Outline of HUM for Se
curing Co-operation la Buataeae »n4
Social Affair* Among the Sural
Population
Washington, D. C., March 5.—A
scheme for the organization of rural
communities for both business and so
cial purposes is worked out in an article
which is to appear in the forthcoming
Yearbook of the Department of Agri
culture, and which has already been
printed as a pamphlet for the use of the
department's office of markets and rural
organization.
The scheme calls for ten committees,
five of which are to deal with
needs, and five with social needs. Every
member of the organization is to serve
on some one of these committees. In
addition, there is to be a central er
executive committee composed of the
president of the organization, its sec
retary, its treasurer and the chairman
of the ten other committees. This cen
tral body is to direct the general policy
of the organization, raise all funds and
control their expenditures. The com
mittees that are to deal with the busi
ness interests of the community are as
follows:
Committee on farm production, com
mittee on marketing, committee on se
curing farm supplies, committee on farm
finance and accounting, comity&tee on
communication and transportation.
Similarly, the five committees that
attend to the community's social inter
ests will deal with education, sanita
tion, recreation, beautification, house
hold economics.
The work of most of these commit
tqps is indicated sufficiently clearly by
their titles: for example, the committee
on production can do much good by im-
I roving the breeds of live stock in a
community through co-operative pur
chases of pure-bred males. It can en
courage the formation of corn, poultry,
pig, cattle, canning and gardening clubs
which have already demonstrated their
value in the sections where they have
been established, and it can carry on
useful studies of the type of agricul
ture best fitted to local conditions.
In the same way, the committee oij
marketing can secure the standardiza
tion of the community's products and
thus obtain better prices than are pos
sible when nondescript goods are dump
ed upon the market. The committee can
also search out the best markets, make
contracts on a large scale which will
be more favorable than any individual
can secure for himself, and in many
other ways economize in the selling of
the community's goods. Even if co
operative marketing i| not actually re
sorted to. the Information which the
committee collects can hardly fail to be
of great assistance to the individual
shippers.
Just as the committee on market
ing can facilitate selling, the commit
tee on farm supplies can economize in
buying. Farmers are warned, however,
not to underestimate the cost of run
ning a store or commercial agency, and
not to overestimate the saving which
this can effect. The co-operative so
ciety, of course, does away with the
necessity af the store's making a profit,
but somebody must manage the store
and that somebody must be paid for his
time. His salary, therefore, corresponds
in a way to the ordinary store's pfoflt,
and it is not always possible to secure
a good man for less than he would be
able to make in 'business for himself.
There are, however, several methods
of purchasing farm supplies co-opera
tively; which will be found to be of
advantage. The simplest is the joint or
der, in which a group of farmers can
buy a given article in large quantities,
thereby\ effecting a considerable saving
in the expense of handling, commis
sions, etc. .Sometimes when this method
is adopted a warehouse is added which
is owned or rented co operatively, and
in which the goods are stored nutil the
associated purchasers need thcfti,
If these two methods have been tried
and found successful, it may be desir
able to carry them out to their logical
development and conduct a co-operative
store which renders the same service to
its customers that a private enterprise
would. This, howeVer, inevitably leads
to complications and should only be
undertaken after some experience with
simpler methods of co-operation.
With the committee on farm finance
and accounting, the first duty is to as
certain what farm enterprises can safe
ly be financed. This is only possible
when accurate accounts are" kept and
carefully analyzed. After this has been
done, the next step is to secure the
most favorable terms for financing
proper and sound enterprises. This is
frequently not difficult if the commit
tee has thoroughly mastered the sub
ject and is able to put it clearly before
local bankers. Where the local bank
ers are unwilling to*finance genuinely
productive enterprises at n reasonable
rate of interest, the committee must
consider other ways of securing capital.
One of the simplest plans for accom
plishing this is a credit union or co
operative credit association. The essen
tial feature? of this plan are that a
group of farmers organize themselves
to receive deposits and make Id&ns. By
keeping the expenses dow u to a mini
mum, it has been possible in some cases
for such associations to pay interest on
deposits that is within one per cent,
of the interest it charges on loans.
The committee on communication
and transportation should deal primar
ily with the .roads and telephones. The
keynote of the work should be organ-
Dandruff Soon
Ruins The Hair
Girls—if you want plenty of thicjt,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your bair and ruin it if you
don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff ia to dissolve
it, then you destroy it entirely. To do
this, get about four ounces of ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when re
tiring; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it In gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or fonr
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign And trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop, and
your hair will look and feel a hundred
times better. You can get liquid arvon
at any drug store. It is inexpensive
and four ounces is all you will need, no
matter how much dandruff you have.
This simple remedy never fails.-—Adv.

Just as the five business commit
tees are to grapple with the funda
mental problems of producing and sell
ing in their various forms, the five
social committees should direct their
efforts to the improvement of living
conditions in the country.
To increase the farmer's income is
not the only thing needed to make
rural life what it should be. As a mat
ter of fact,'says this article, it is the
prosperous farmer who is more inclined
to move to town than-his less fortunate
neighbor. Having accnmulated a com
petance he wishes to enjoy it, and there
are five principal reasons which lead
him to believe that he can do this bet
ter in the city: First, there arc usually
better facilities for educating his chil
dren; second, the sanitary conditions
are frequently much better in towns,
and the time does not seem to be far
distant when the cities will be actually
more healthful than the country. Again,
household conveniences such as hot and
cold water, heating and lighting sys
tems, etc., are more abundant in the
{"owns and add greatly to the comfort
of living. Finally, there is more oppor
tunity for recreation in the city, and
frequently, strange as it may appear,
more to appeal to the sense of beauty
that is inherent in practically every
man.
Co-operation on the part of rural
communities can do as imieh to alter
these conditions a 9 it can to increase
the average cash income. The commit
tees that have these matters in charge
should, therefore, be -regarded as quite
as important as those which deal with
business questions, arid they should re
ceive the same support from the ontire
community wlijoh thov are endeavoring
to 'benefit. The result will be a com
munity spirit which, in its way, is
capable of producing as valuable results
as the national spirit. In fact, says
the article in closing, "Patriotism, like
charity, begins at home—that is, in the
neighborhood."

POTATOES FOR SHIPMENT
MUST BE SECURELY PACKED
Federal Inspectors Point Out the Need
for Simple Precautions in Forward
ing Food Through the Tropics to
South America
Washington, D. C., Mairch 5. —New
markets iu South America opened by
the war to potato growers in this coun
try are being endangered iby lack of
j care iu packing and shipping, accord
ing to reports received by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Before the war South America was sup
plied with its potatoes, in great meas
ure at least, from Europe, and these
orders have now been diverted to this
country. Federal inspectors stationed
in New York wiio have inspected po
tatoes offered for shipment to see that
they compiled with the requirements
of the importing countries report, how
ever, till at because of the long voyage
and t'hc higlli temperatures encountered
in the tropics, certain shipments from
New York to Brazil and Uruguay have
arrived in bad condition. Some of
these potatoes were found to have 'been
attacked by fungi, camsing a soft rot,
and others which appeared perfectly
sound externally were black in the
center.
To obviate this difficulty, shippers
are urged to take a few simple pre
cautions. In sorting and packing po
tatoes for export through tihe tropics
the following points should be care
fully observed:
1 I —All badly bruised or cut potatoes |
should be thrown out.
2—Frosted potatoes should be ex-'
eluded.
3 —No {K>tatoes that have even small i
spots of dry rot or that show tihe j
sunken discolored spots caused by late I
blight should be included.
4—Barrels should be well ventilated
by cutting a liberal number of holes
in their sides. > !
s—The shipper should insist that <
the potatoes be stowed in a cool, well
ventilated part of the vessel.
Even a few potatoes damaged in one '
of the ways mentioned may be sufficient
to spoil an entire barrel under the un
favorable conditions of high tempera
ture and little or no ventilation. The j
blackening of the center, known to the !
trade as "black heart,' can be brought!
aibout by exposing potatoes for 18 hours '
to temperatures ranging from 100 to I
112 degrees Fahrenheit. Such tempera- 1
tures arc b»y no means unknown in un-1
ventilated compartments of vessels in
the tropics. Moreover, even at consid
erably lower temperatures, the warmth
and the moisture arising from the po
tatoes themselves create conditions
naturally favorable to tihe development
of tho spores of various kinds of fungi
which are always present in air-borne
dust. These spores gain entrance ,
through cuts and bruises and cause soft
rots. At thiß season of the year also
many potatoes are affected with dry
rots that have developed in storage,
and also spots of lute blight infection.
If such potatoes are exposed to a
warm, humid temperature, it is almost
certain that soft rot will take place
in the affected spots. u
