j FARMERS LEARNING BENEFIT
OF CO-OPERATIVE MARKETING
A Busy Grain Elevator, the Purpose of Which la to Effect Mvlnga for Ita
Members Becauae It la ? Co-operative Institution. . .
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
??See that buoch of horses orer yon
jderr asked the termer, insetting six
jor seven animal* which were impa
tiently crowding against a fence In an
endeavor to nibble some corn growing
Just beyond the reach of their out
stretched noses. "There's, a marketing
lesson In what those horses are doing.
If they only knew it ? little pushing
In unison would lay that fence flat, but
Ithe trouble Is they don't understand,
[and so they won't push together."
i Then, after a pause: "Human folks
lare a bit like those horses. A lot
Iof them don't know how to push? I
land pull?In unison. Think of the
unutilized power those animals have,
and think of the Infinitely greater pow
er we intelligent humans have, when
we learn to co-operate. That's the
word: Co-operatlon! A good many
farmers have learned Its big advan
tages, but their number is still small
beside the millions who might benefit
from It.
"There Is the Tillamook County
dreamery association, for example,"
Wntlnued the farmer. "That's a won
derful organization which has set a
lot of people to thinking; and the
beauty of it is, their achievements are
getting bigger every year."
Recent Figurea From Tlliamoek.
Tills farmer's thoughts had been
turned toward co-operative marketing
by reading a recent report from Tilla
mook County Creamery association
In Oregon, composed of 25 farm
er factories which co-operate In the
sale of their products. The report
of the secretary-manager for 1919 In
dicates that the total sales of cheese
from these 25 factories amounted to
11.964,039, with additional recelpta for
whey cream of $32,306 and for whey
butter, $2,506. With the estimated
sales from miscellaneous sources
amounting to $18,636, the total for the
fear was $2,007,475.
In the first year of Its existence,
1909. this organization handled 32,
)00,000 pounds of milk and 2,500,000
pounds of cheese, and Its sales totaled
(386,185, showing that the total sales
almost quadrupled In ten years. The
tales for the entire decade reached
:he astonishing total of $8,612,000.
Thua far the production for 1920 Is
CEREALS FOR BREAD SUPPLY
Corn, wheat and Buckwheat, Staple
Breadrtuffa, Are Raised Nearly
Everywhere.
(Prepared by the United Btatee Depart
ment ef Agriculture.)
Cereals, such as corn, wheat, and
buckwheat, are railed nearly every
where throughout the United Statee.
These grains are staple breadstuffa,
but the general practice of farmers Is
to boy flour and meal rather" than l
grind or have their own grain ground ;
running 28 per cent ahead of 1919,
and 1919 was 20 per cent oyer 1918.
Four factors have played an eesep
tin! put la ma kins tiiix co-operative
achievement possible, and they apply
very generally to co-operative market
ing of farm products. First, the farm
ers w?re brought t? dearly recognise
the needs for united effort In solving
their marketing difficulties. Second,
there was available in their communi
ties a volume of business sufficient to
make co-operation worth while. Third,
gJven theee two condltlOHR the firm?'
era met the need by adopting and en
forcing standards for their dairy prod
ucts. This has Improved the quality
of the output, and has produced uni
formity, thus making possible the ef
fective use of a brand and of adver
tising on a large scale. Fourth, the
association has employed efficient salee
methods.
Standardization Essential.
The difficulty of pooling the output
of several cheese factories In Tilla
mook county lay In the absence of
standardisation. In consequence, the
association engaged an Inspector and
pflfeed him In general supervision over
the cheese making of the member fac
tories. From the start this Inspector
bas made regular visits to each plant,
giving suggestions and assistance when
needed. The money spent In his sal
ary has repaid the association many
times over.
The cheese Is Inspected, and if found
to conform to the standard set up by
the association, Is sold under the or
ganization's brand. This brand has
become known In nearly every market
on the Paclllc coast, and the reputa
tion which has been built up for this
association's cheese gives that body a
decided advantage In the markets.
In many other lines the co-ope fctlve
principle has been tried oat with pro
nounced success, notably In fruit and
vegetable marketing association*,
grain elevator companies, and co-op
erative creameries. Farmer* have also
proved the value of co-operative pur
chasing-. Anyone interested In co-op
erative marketing or purchasing should
write for information to the bureau
of markets, United States department
of Agriculture/ Washington, D. C.,
whose experts have made a careful
study of the subject.
The average farm family consume*
about 6 barrels of flour In a year. Id
the South, the average annual con
sumption of corn meal Is about BOO
pounds per family aBd In the North
about 30 pounds. The consumption
of buckwheat and tJce la low, except
In areas where thcMe crops are gen
erally grown, aad even there It I*
usuatly low than 100 pounds per fam
ily, llo*t farm families use home
baked bread, though in some eases
the farmers buy their bread from bak
ers who drive through the country.

GOOD BUSINESS PROPOSITION
No Mors Do Ws Look Upon Selection

Thoroughly Approved.
Time was when the selection of
seed corn on the farm was looked up
on somewhat as a fad. Sentiment,
I hough, has chinned until today we
have come to consider the field selec
tion of seed corn as a thoroughly
approved business proposition.
