Director Cardon discussed the desirability of cooperation among farmers in the marketing of their crops and urged the necessity of a fair trial of the present proposed plan for nationwide cooperative marketing associations as provided for in the agricultural marketing act recently passed Whether or not co by Congress. operative marketing will solve the problem of placing agriculture on a parity with other industries re mains to be seen, said the speaker, dui in any event a strong and unified cooperative marketing onranl- zation should certainly be a great factor in bettering the condition of agriculture. The advantages of cooperation among producers was also the prin cipal thought advanced by President E. G. Peterson in his address and he called attention to the fact that great cooperative movements cannot be expected 'to revolutionize industries overnight but that time for a fair trial must be given. Cooperation among producers is not a new thing but is a doctrine that has been declared by educators, statesmen and men the history of the throughout country. iar-seei- George Golden Celebrates Sixty-Sixt- h PIONEER DAY TO Birthday Sunday, July the 13th, George Golden celebrated his 66th birthday.

COO LEY (Agricultural Extension Department International Harvester Company) America has marvelous wealth. It Is rich In fertile soil. In Its mines, in its water power. In Its forests. But above all, America Is rich In people rich In workers on the farm and in the factory. Its largest single Industry, however, la agriculture. One-thir- d of the tollers of America are farmers; more than one-ha- ir the people of America live under rural conditions. The farm home has been an important factor In American history. It has been the nursery of great men and noble women. It should belong to one who tills the solL The American home began when the first Indian pitched his teepee on the western continent. Its evolution has been marked by the characteristics of the people of the various ages. The home of the pioneer was built, not as he should have preferred to have it, but as the necessities of the time required. He lived along and placed his cabin without regard to social experience. He lived a lonely and independent life, but the beginning of the family group dated from his advent. The pioneer established the farm home in America and ' the land farmer, who followed him, brought It to a high state of perfection. The land farmer lived In a tune of plenty. He reaped the first values of a virgin land. He developed personality. He perfected the family group. He built a homestead representing his idea of domestic and family comfort. He built for permanence and established the classic period of American life. The typical American home as it lives in sentiment, In literature. In idealism, was the home of the land farmer. He considered his estate as be longing to his family group, but had no idea of community prosperity. Realizing that the home owner is the community builder, the people of every community, whether in town or country, should adopt some cooperative plan which will tend to convert the tenant into the home owner. But much depends upon the In dividual. Buying a house and a lot or farm Is more of a philiso- phical conclusion than a physical or financial transaction. He who Is afraid to own his home may be a good citizen, but the best citizen is he who has the courage to own property; to pay taxes on it; to build it up and Improve it; to help support the community; to be useful to himself, to his children and to the world. Such a man embraces the opportunity which home owning only affords the privilege and duty of merging the struggle of life into the struggle for the lives of others. This takes the sting from the toll for existence. It makes life worth while. The money invested in a home is It Is not subsecurely Invested. ject to the accidents and misfortunes common to capital invested In trade or manufacture. Money used for the purchase and Improvement of a home Is as well secured as the nature of human affairs will permit. The beauty of the country, suburban or small-tow- n home, the pleasure and tranquility which it guarantees and the independence which It affords are not provided by any other form of investment. A community of home owners is a community of good schools and churches, of excellent social conditions, of high oral environment, of beautiful homes and general prosperity.
