method?, concretely illustrating what
proper care would do. given the right
stock and the right kind of housing
facilities.
People from far and near visited
that demonstration. The location was
ideal for purposes of education, and
such a location for such a purpose
was so novel that the demonstration
attracted attention for that very rea
son.
During the course of his four-years
in this county, the co-operation of the
farmers also made it possible for him
to impcrt thousands of purebred baby
chicks, for distribution over the coun
ty. And big incubator?, eommunty
owned, where a farmer's eggs were
hatched for so much per hundred,
was anotT <f( method of increasing
production.
On the items of purebred stock,
right housing, and the early broiler,
Arrendale received whole-hearted en
couragement and co-operation; but
when it came to the fourth item in
his progress, cooperative marketing ?
"Can't be done."
"Farmers won't stick."
"Ther(. aren't enought chickens in
Macon county t < ? fill a freight car."
"We've g??: along all right without
it in the past; no need to change
now."
Those were s<>me of the objections
he met from farmers. From the poul
try dealers, he heard nothing. But
they were quietly laying their plans.
He was as-ravd, at last, of enough
support to put <?n his first sale, and
he arranged ;he date for April 25. He
wrote 1500 farmers in the county,
uruing them to attend the sale and
bring their poultry.
Out of the 1 ?">(>() written, came,
And willi then;, they brought
head of poultry weighing U.9G7
pounds. The buyers took the poul
try at the car door, weighed it, and
paid the farmers.
The sale netted them $2,085.67, or
an average of nearly $11 apiece for
the 193 co-operating. And the price
paid was about five cents above the
local market price, thus bringing the
farmers a total of nearly $500 more
than they would have received %l'rom
the local buyeis.
That sale became the talk of the
county.
For it was new ? nothing quite like
it. hail ever been done here before.
It was profitable ? the buyers paid
more, and they paid in cash. And it
inspired the farmers. It convinced
them that they were not powerless;
it created among them a spirit of
hope, self-confidence, and enterprise.

brottjght ii> by the co-operatives than
at the first event, hut instead of there
being 193 farmers co-operating the
n i|mber had srfroun 260*. And
these 260 shipped, even in the face
of the competition and higher prices
of the dealer, nearly 10,000 pounds j
of poultry, for which they received
over $2,000.
The third sale was advertised for
June, and again the co-operating far
mers had to fij:ht against temporarily .
hoisted prices offered by thv'ir com- 1
petitor. But this third car was larger j
than either of its predecessors, ar.d
the farmers and their agent took
heart.
Their opponent, however, hung on,
using every means to encompas? Ar- i
rer.dale's defeat. And the arguments i
pro and eon, as between co-operative j
and individual selling, waxed hot and !
long.
And it was well into the second 1
year before thc dealer finally sought
other employment leaving the far
mers a clear field ? and thereby prov- \
ing that farmers can and will stick,
in the face of the most alluring temp
tation to quit.
The three cars shipped in 1923 !
gi t w to five in 1924, seven in 1925, ?
and 10 last year. And the shipments !
in 1926 netted Macon farmers bet
ter than ?25,000. Of this amount ,
$5,000, careful estimates show' repre- j
sented the saving to the farmers i
through the co-operative method of
marketing.
The maximum cost of any of the |
sales was one and one-half per cent '
of the gross receipts.
It was not until this month, how
ever. that the commercial value of
the co-operative method was finally
and concretely demonstrated to the
skeptical. That last finishing touch
of argument was added when Arren
dale went to another county on Feb
ruary 1. and the price of poultry here
dropped one-third before the new
agent arrived.
But the battle was won.
Macon county farmers had shown
themselves and the State that "chick
en money" is not to be despised ? it'
the farmers sell as a unit. They had
proven that the farmer will stick,
without any definite organization,
under proper leadership. And they
had demonstrated that the most insi- :
dious opposition can be obliterated !
with united effort.
Those 193 farmers on April 25,
1 923 had started a movement that
last year meant over half a million
dollars to North Carolina farmers,
and that is destined to mean many
