W. D. Cooperative Buying Safer Than Mer chandising PROF. W. R. Camp sends the follow ing thoughtful answer to a Pro ' gressive Farmer reader inquiring, about starting a cooperative store : "In reference to the formation of a cooperative supply store, I would say that I feel that you are proceeding on safe lines in not attempting to grant credit. At the same time I would suggest that it is very difficult to make a success of a cooperative mercantile business. , A different and safer method' would be to collect or-N 'ders and only assemble those goods already ordered. The danger of a store is that stock will become stale and accumulate so as to make un- necessary idle capital on nand. Whether you organize a; store for having a supply of goods on hand or not, these points should be borne in mind. "As, a help to you in organizing we are sending you a copy of Bulletin 225, in which there is a set of by-laws that may be adapted to your pur poses. We also send a copy of the last Market' Bulletin. The Office of Markets, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, has worked out some blank forms for purchasing 'good's collectively which you can obtain by writing them.M "Pick your cotton quickly and sell slowly," la made Into a slogan by The Progress ve Farmer. To this might be added the in junction to properly care for the cotton after it is picked and ginned. If you do not care t sell it at 12 cents, keep it out of the weather. Willi amston Enterprise.
