What would you rather do,
or go a’fishin’, Tom?”
“Chew STAR and watch this
game.”
~^IFTY years a national
^ favorite. That’s STAR.
A mile-long factory turn-
ing out so many STAR plugs
each year that, if placed end
to end, they would stretch
from New York to Europe
and back. That’s how much
chewers like STAR.
Better or higher-priced “chewing”
leaf than that used in STAR cannot
be bought. A thin plug costs you
as much as a -inch thick STAR
plug. In STAR you get the extra
quantity that only its thick plug can
give, and a taste delight that only
STAR plug contains.

STORM CARRIES BOLL
WEEVIL INTO GEORGIA
Formerly migratory waterfowl
frequented the United States in
enormous numbers, and the sup-
ply appeared to be inexhaustible.
During the last 75 years, howev-
er, the growth of population and
the vast increase in the number
of hunters, combined with great-
ly improved firearms and an ex-
traordinary increase in the faeil
ities for rapid transportation to
the most remote haunts of wild
life, have resulted in an appall-
ing reduction in their numbers.
It is believed to be a conserva
tive estimate that the gross num-
ber of migratory game birds of
all kinds existing today in the
United States does not exceed
10 per cent of the number which
existed here 75 years ago. The
rapid during the last 25 years.
During this period some have be-
come extinct, while others are
nearly so.
Thoughtful sportsmen and oth-
ers interested in our "wild life
have long realized the impossibil-
ity of saving what was left of
this great national asset by State
action. The rapid progress of
our waterfowl toward extinction
under State laws was too obvious.
To save the dwindling remnant,
in 1913 the Federal migratory
bird law was enacted. The law
has now been in effect about two
has been made by the Biological
Survey as to its effect on migra-
tory game birds. A large num-
ber of reports from State and
Federal game officials and pri-
vate individuals in nearly all of
the Sates of the Union have been
small number of States have been
doubtful, usually owing to a lack
of definitee information on the
subject. From 40 of the States,
exending from Maine to Califor-
nia and from the Gulf States to
the Canadian border, is given un-
impeachable evidence of an ex-
traordinary increase in waterfowl
during the short period the law
has been in effect. The increase
is commonly stated, according to
the locality, to be from 10 to sev-
eral hundred per cent, and in-
cludes such important species as
mallards, black mallards, widgeon
sprigtails, blue-winged teal, green
winged teal, wood ducks, canvas-
backs, Canada geese, and swans.
Many of the reports are to the
effect that the number of water-
fowl remaining to breed exceeds
Every Available Cotton Demon-
strator Ordered to State to
Help Fight Pest.
The Agricultural Department
has ordered every available dem-
onstration worker into Southeast-
ern Georgia and Florida to aid
in halting an advance of the Mex-
ican boll weevil, which has
brought the pest to the valuable
sea island cotton territory.
The wind attending the Texas
coast storm of a few weeks ago
is blamed for the surprising ad-
vance. Coming just at the begin-
ning of the migration period, the
storm carried the weevil from
Alabama seventy-five miles into
Georgia in a few days. Ordina-
rily the advance is thirty-five to
fifty miles a year.
For years efforts have been
made to save sea island cotton
from the ravages of the weevil.
The lowlands are recognized as
an ideal location for the weevils
to hibernate.
MARKETING ASSOCIATION
AIDS IN CO-OPERATIOI|
Strong Capable Management and
the Support of All Its Mem-
bers Essential to Success.
The growing feeling that there
is too much difference between
the price paid to the producer of
food and the price paid by the
consumer has turned the attention
of American farmers more anc
more to eo-operative marketing
associations as a promising reme
dy. Producers of perishable prod-
ucts have advanced the furthese
in this direction, and the best or-
ganized co-operative marketing
associations are now to be founc.
among the California citrus fruit
growers and among the deciduous
fruit growers of the Pacific
northwest. In general it may be
said that the most promising fieic.
for such associations is in the mar
keting of highly specialized anc
localized crops. *
The work of the marketing as-
anything seen during the past 10-t soeiations includes the establish
to 25 years. The results indicate
what may be expected from a
long period of adequate protec-
tion.
The importance of our wild
fowl as a national asset is evi-
dent when their great aggregate
value is considered. The State
of Maine estimates the annual in
come from its game resources at
$13,000,000, of which about 5 per
cent, or 650,000, can safely be al-
lotted to the returns from migra-

He should employ and discharge
all labor. He should secure in-
formation as to crop and market
conditions and furnish some to
the members on request. He
should encourage the production
of the best varieties of products
demanded by the trade. He
[should conduct packing schools,
in order that growers may become
trained in the best methods of
grading, and labeling their prod-
ucts. He should have charge of
the grading, packing, and inspec-
tion of all association products,
and should have control of the
brands and labels, and their use
on the association packages, in
accordance with the rules of the
association. He should enter in- "
contracts for the sale of the
association goods. He should
have entire charge of the mar-
keting of all association goods,

board of directors and the by-
aws and rules of the association.

he is to be dictated to at will
by each member or the officers
are constantly to meddle with his
work. This does not imply that
the manager should be a dicta-
tor. From the suggestions of
the officers and members togeth-
er with those from his own ex-
perience he constructs a business
plan. Whenever a manager los-
es the confidence of thes mem-
bers, it is better to replace him
with a manager who possesses
that confidence. But no mana-
ger, however competent he may
be, can lead a co-operative asso-
ciation to success unless he has
real co-operation from the mem-
bers. In co-operative circles the
disloyal member is the chief ele-
ment of failure.
It would appear that owing to
the very fine principle of mutual
help involved, thus forming a
eo-operative organization would
be consistently loyal in their mu-
tual relationship. But, on the
other hand, unless exceptional
care be exercised by the lead-
ers an organization from the be-
ginning will be burdened with
drones, cheats, deadbeats, and
traitors.

erative organization and then re- 1

If in selling through his organi-

The member who uses the spe-

outside, without contributing to
its support, is a deadbeat.
