Farmers Fetk
By J. Zeb Green. o
When fifteen farmers of Fairview r
community, in Buncombe county, got
together in 1921 and organized the
first unit of the Farmers' Federation, 0
their visions did not extend beyond {
co-operative distributive service in v
their immediate community. While 0
some of the original group may have v
had conceptions of the possibilities e
of growth and expansion to include p
other warehouse units, no ambitious s
program was presented to interfere s
with the plans to organize the first
unit of a practical business basts. s
Their implicit faith in the venture h
was reflected in the fact that they ?
located their first warehouse in the t;
country, at a railway siding where u
no trade lines had been established.

held to different opinions regarding
minor details of operation, but they Is
were agreed upon the necessity of h
employing capital for the operation n
of a permanent co-operative business, n
Therefore they promptly subscribed f<
for shares of capital stock amounting ii
to $3,000, and those who did not have a

No Sawdust Trails.
It is interesting to note that the
riginal organizers of the Farmers'
''ederation went about their worK
without camp-lmeeting revival methds.
No experts in farm co-operation
rere engaged as promoters, and no
laborate academic lessons^-were exiloited.
Theories of gigantic "nontock,
non-profit" organizations, deigned
to gain monopolistic control or
arm products, were conspicously abent.
Nobody was asked to repent,

aster would prjobably have resulted In r
an attetoipt to organize and operate t
the six warehouse units in 1921 which f
in 1925 did approximately a million- 1
dollar business. Just as chain store t
systems are enlarged under gradual c
and slow processes, and only as men g
are trained and developed for man- d
agement of new units, the most sue- 1
cessful co-operatives have approached I
the problems pf expansion in like 1
manner. For instance, the Minnesota i
Creameries Association started either u
with one creamery or with a small g
group of creameries. It has grown s
until there are now four hundred and t
fifty units with an annual business c
amounting to thirty million dollars, t
The history of well established and f
successful farmers' co-operatives o
everywhere is the story of gradual a
growth from small beginnings to larg- t
er business organizations. The Farm- s
era' Federation was fortunate in lay- u
ing first its foundation in small pro- c
portions so that natural growth could t
come from within. u

The Farmers' Federation was not v

I Like the original cooperative associa- t
' tions in Denmark, it was launched r

tfter the Fairview enterprise had tr
teen followed by the organization 01 tl
ither local warehouse units at Crag- w
;y, Weaverville, Fletcher and Hen- la
lersonville, a central wholesale ware- ot
louse business was established in ai
Lsheville which is extending its trade ti
ines through retail produce dealers tc
n the Carolinas, thus using the reg- G
liar retail channels of distribution to ct

on, to consumers. At other seasons si
his wholesale organization takes te
are of the demands of its retail dls- bl
ributors by getting car shipments m
rom South Carolina, Florida and Tl
ther trucking states. Without this lu
rrangement to supply demands ot re- m
ai! produce dealers during the seaon
when there are no mountain prodcts
on the market, the Federation ca
ould not hold its lines of distribu- b?
ion to consumers through the reg- cc
lar retail channels. Whether this Is in

erly had no means of transportation,
hey are important factors in the sotlon
of the problem of co-operative
arketing in North Carolina.
Oo-operation Is Business.
Thp Farmers' Federation Ino Is a
ipital stock organization. Its mem:rs
and leaders hold to the idea'that
i-operative marketing is plain bus- i
ess, dependent upon good sense ana
ficient management. They do not
ok upon it as a sort of modern
agio, immune to all the errors, ills
id hazards of other enterprises. The
^deration pays no big salaries?at 3
ast 110 larger salaries than the same
en could command in similar poslans
with private enterprises. Fed- -.3
ation leaders do not believe that
rmers or any other men can go
to business on a large scale wlthtt
working capital. In the lack of
/ ,'3
laucial responsibility, meniners are
clined to drop away at the first
511 of trouble, when they w >uld more
tely save the organization if they
id money invested. The toiporalion
rm of co-operation is :ioi popular
ith professional organizers, because
is harder to sign up members, but
e plan has worked admirably in
ousauds of local co-operatives as
ell as in many of the larger organitions.
