MANN URGES MORE TIME BE DEVOTED TO CO-OPERATION Says Must Educate Farmers To Have Self Confidence And Act On Initiative RALEIGH ADDRESS Raleigh, July 26. — Answering the question asked by his own subject, ‘What Constitutes the Cooperative Membership Prob lem ? ”, M. G. Mann, secretary treasurer of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative Asso ciation, told the American Insti tute of Cooperation here tonight “there is only one answer and that is lack of education. “We must educate the farmers to have confidence in one another and to think and act on their own initiative,” declared Mr. Mann. Mr. Mann termed the “mem bership problem” the root of the cooperative tree and said he feared the larger part of the time of most cooperative executives has been spent in developing “sales, traffic, classing and an elaborate accounting system, rather than on the root of the tree, the member ship problem.” Pointing out that there has never been a moment in the history of American agriculture when the time was quite so ripe for coop erative marketing as it is today, Mr. Mann said: “If we who are leaders in this great movement will take an in ventory, go back from this won derful institute with the resolve that we are going to cultivate and •develop the root system of our great organizations and not try to build our branches more rap idly than the root system will sup port, I believe cooperative market ing will grow in leaps and bounds.” George Henderson of Chicago, has broken the same leg seven times, but it is a wooden one. After being arrested for big amy, James L. Robb, of Glas gow, pleaded that he had for gotten his first marriage.
