CO-OPERA ATI VE MARKETING We are living in a period of recon struction and readjustment of busi ness generally. Every class of people engaged in different lines of business is organized for the purpose of pro viding just and equitable business re lations with whom they deal. The farmer, however, who is the greatest producer of wealth in this co mtry is unorganized, and it seems that it is going to be hard to convince him that organization is absolutely essential in the successful management of his business. Under the present system of selling farm crops we are permit ted to produce and deliver to the pur chaser. The price under this system is arranged by the companies that buy, and in arranging the price it is to their interest to make a profit. In order to obtain a fair price the farmer must be organized to sell as well as the manufacturer is organized to buy and re-sell. The farmer selling in dividually to the big manufacturing interest is at too much disadvantage. Strong selling agencies with million pounds of tobacco or cotton behind it will have the ability to make success ful sales. The California farmers last year did a business of $250,000, 000 thru cooperative selling. If you are not thoroughly familiar with the Co-operative Marketing Contract, secure one from your Coun ty Agent and study it carefully.

Virginia, however, cannot arrange this contract until 50 per cent of the three states covering the Flue- Cured Belt have signed up as much as 50 per cent. Are the farmers in North Carolina going to hold this movement back, or do they intend to sign up like men and place themselves in a position to do business? I want every farmer to ask himself this question: Am I willing to continue to produce world necessities and deliver them for some one else to fix the price, or should I join an organization of farmers that will assist me in negotiatitig a price that will pay me a reasonable profit ? ” You are going to decide this matter for yourselves, and upon your decision will largely determine your success or failure on t)ie farm.
