practice of selling the services of
purebred sires and collecting in ad-,

times the value of the sire. Let ,me
exrplain it thus: A smooth salesman

These. bulls will 'clo a .lot .of

The plan used in financing the deal is
admirable 'and 'makes it easY for any
community to own a good sire. But
the deplorable thing about it is that
any conimunity of farmers should al-
low themselves to be thus duped, into
paying three prices—one for the bull
and two to the salesman.' A little
community co-operatien would secure
the same results and save the com-
munity two-thirds of the cash. But
or lack of a little initiative, a little
local leadership, a little eommunity-
co-operation, it pays an enormous toll
and allows itself to be exploited out-
landishly. Oh, will we farmers ever
come out of the 'wilderness.? Will we
ever get our eyes open, or will we
forever be content to hold the bag?
Verily, co-operation is still an infant.
The fools in our own pack are not

is, he very soon gets away with the
cash or its equivalent to pay for the
services of fifty, sixty, or seventy
cows at $3 each for three years, or
$9 each. The next job for the sales -
is to shift his responsibility/ so
