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. iucoc i' au ucn lauutio iiiigui uav c 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 (cash for Immediate investment agreed tl I to furnish logs to be cut into build- p ling materials; teams for hauling; or it ; to do carpenter work on the building, h J which in itself was a fine exhibition w ??

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, it the sawdust trail and become emolonally converted to the imperlalisic, monopolistic, centralized ronn. or norganized co-operation. Building From the Bottom Upward.

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.

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 l harmony witn academic theories of ei o-operative marketing or not, it Is lo corking out in practice and seems to m it well into the form of co-operation at hat is adapted to the diversified ag- F( icultural interests of Western North le Carolina where the growing and mar- m eting seasons are shorter .than in the tii oastal plain sections.

During wi le period when local markets are izj ongested, surplus chickens are i hipped in car lots to northern mar- ! ets, hnd eggs are put in storage. m federation trucks deliver cream and lilk .to the creameries.

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.
