eight months earnest effort,
study, thought and investigation
on the part of our Cooperative

greatest steps forward for the
success of this Colony, we will
probably ever see.
As a direct result of this effort
we are premised the services, of
a Cooperative Association Manag
er, Mr, P„SoHarrison of Patter
son California, is the man wo
have in mind, His accomplish
ments to date are astounding,
' The Barf: of Italy ■ which is the
largest Barfing Instution on the
west coast hired Mr.Harrison to
completely organize'., and estab
lish a farm colony of five
hundred families for- then.
This Colony developed into so
greet a success, that the Pros! -
dent o-0 CaliforniaTs State College
went there and studied his
policies w ith a view of learn
ing his secret for success.
This Colony completely paid off
its indebtedness m ten y*7tTrs
fine under-’Tr.harrison ' s correct
ion.
Mr.Harrison has also established
five successful Cooperative
Associations. Wc jo can be so
fortunate as to secure this nan’s

LISTING PRODUCE
Farmers are requested to list
with the produce department the
amount of produce for sale and
approximate dato it will be ready
fox'1 inal’ket. It is very important
that all potatoes be pited for
ton days or two weeks before
bringing then in. This will in
sxxro thorn time to ripen. Thus they
will run over the grader in more
perfect shape and be in a more,
saleable condition. We feel there
will be a good demand for all
produce this year and it is sincere
ly expected that toe ' rill be sold
out long before spring.
Farmers are also requested,- to
store ca.rrots, rutab agos, pars
nips, and some potatoes at home,
’..'e feel that all available space
will be occupied with potatoes and
storage space is inadequate this
year.
