Go-operation Not Enough Solve Farmer's Problems * > Co-operative Marketing Associations Must tlave Scien tific Management if Farmer Members are lu Heap Maximum Benefit, Declare Advocates of System By J. C. ROYLB IM4. By TM AfoftM) New York, Jan. 8. ? Co-opera Oon alone to not sufficient to make co-operative marketing a success. That fart is freely ack nowledged by advocat' -a of co-op- j eratlve Belling organization** throughout the country as w? II an thoee gathered at the meeting of the national council of co-opera tlte marketing associations now in Besslon at Washington. These - men declare efficient scientific management la as much needed in v to-operative marketing of farm products as in any other business in the country. Co-operative associations are not waiting for government help In solving the difficulties of the agriculturists but they are watt ing. many of them, for competant executives with sufficient fore sight. and technical knowledge to do for their associations what fUlph P. Merrltt has done for the ?un maid raialn growers and what other brilliant executives have done for other proBperous farm organisations. The room for Improvement ln^ the management of many co-op crgtlvea la plainly shown by the re cords of the raisin growers. It Is but a brief time alnce that asso ciation owed tremendous sums for advertising and other expenses, when Its plans were in dlBortler and its success uncertain. Since 1923 expenses aa measured by the tuonth ton of product handled have been reduced 65 per cent HUh a consequent saving of mll liona of dollsrs. Gross expenses, meaning every expenditure for any purpose, were tut by President Merrltt from $14.40 per month ton In 1922 to $S. 02 in 1924. Figuring on the tonnage sold 71 centB In the last year did the work for which $ I was required In 1922. Coat of fi nancing advances to growers, which cost $3.12 a ton of fruit re ceived. was cut to 92.10 last year <*HeOe working capital which cost ft cents a month a ton In 1922 was cut to SI cents. In the last two yeara cost of re ceiving. storing, handling and ?hfpplng aun maid products has been lowered from $7.71 per month ton to $3. SI. Advertising eost $9.60 per ton sold In 1924 as compared with $18.13. in 1922. A far greater tonnage was moved, it Is declared, to more effective handling of the work and the larg er uae of local newspaper adver tising. Selling coBta declined 37 per cent and administrative ex penses are only a third of those of two years ago. The advantages of efficient and timely marketing were equally Well shown by recent experiences of the California prune and aprl eot growera. The fact that a world Shortage of prunes was Imminent came as a complete surprise to many growers outside the associa tion, according to A. M. Morten ten, genersl manager. The associa tion urged farmers to hold for bet ter prices but nevertheless a large tonnage waa dumped on the mar ket at low prices. Growers who followed the aasoclatlon's warn ings are already reaping the bene fit. "The situation simply means"' ?aid Mr. Mortensen, "that thft year there are not enough prunes to go around by about seventy thousand tons. Of the 1924 crop, only about half Is sold putting us In a splendid situation. With prop er handling the 1934 crop will t> out of first hands by July 1 giving Abe trade time to clean up this rcrop before next year's crop comes / OS the market, a condition which I has not obtained for years." Men Interested In the livestock laduatry have been conferring with the co-operative executives now In Washington, although It Is resllsed that the troubles of the stock grower cannot be entirely met through co-operative market ing since raisers of livestock tflftusi plan farther In advance than growers of annual crops so far aa volume of production Is concerned. Also when cattle, sheep and hogs are ready for mar ket. they cannot be held back or ?put In atorage" alnce they are ac cnmulatlng expense faster than they accumulate flesh and value.

Whether the Commander prop- 1 erty faring the river front 1b to he the property of the city Is still unknown. The City Council, In session ] Wednesday, voted to petition Rep- 1 r;-s? ntative Wilson to seek to have a law passed giving the city authority to issue bonds or borrow money for the purpose of secur- i lng property for public use. The Council went a step furth- ! er and passed a motion authoriz ing the city clerk to give a six months' note for the balance due ; on the Commander property. Whether this note will be sat isfactory with the owners of the 1 Commander property is not yet known as there are parties Inter ested In the matter who have not ' yet been consulted. As is generally known, the city ! was the successful bidder for the j Commander property when It was ! sold at auction in October. The amount of the bid was $30,000 and the city paid one-tenth of this amount which was required at ' that time. The balance was to be paid when the sale wss confirmed. The motion to give a note for the balance due on this property was passed by the City Council when, while the body was in ses sion. Thompson & Wilson, attor neys for the owners of the Com mander property, notified the City Manager that they would be forced to order a re-sale on the property If the city did not take some action. The bidding on this site was ad vertised to start at $30,000. When others Interested In the property discovered that the city was a bidder, they did not raise the minimum bid. feelinfc that the city should have the property at the lowest possible price. At a subsequent meeting of the Council, however, It became ap parent that there was some ques tion aa to the city's legal right to borrow money or Issue bonds for the ptirchaas of park or play ground property unless the pur chase waa voted on favorably by the people. "The law provides." Judge Leigh told a reporter Wednesday, "that the city may laaue bonds for the purchase of necessary proper ty. Now It may be that while property for public use was not considered a necessity 50 years ago. It may be so considered to day." In making the motion for the six months' note to be given for the property Councilman Fore man pointed out that even If the matter of the city's purchasing this property should be voted on by the people and be turned down, the city would lose nothing a? the property could bo sold again. "I believe the people would stand by us In the purchsse of this property," Mr. Foreman said. In suggesting the period for six months. Mr. Foreman referred to the fact that if It was desired, the people could vote on whether or not the city should Issue bonds on this property when the city offi cers are elected In June. The June election would come Just prior to the date on which the note would be due. WILBUR NOT ASKING FOR GUN ELEVATION Washington, Jan. fl.?
