Maximum Benefit, Declare Advocates of System

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.

Law Seems
Hamper City
Couneil Waul* Commander
Property but Apparently
Has No Legal Right to
Purchase It.
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.

Greensboro, Jan. 8.-? (Special) ;
; -^-Joining ' " a chureh-wldo inovn
to boost tin- circulation of church ?
papers, Rev. A. W. IMyler, editor
.of tho "North Carolina Christian!
Advocate," In railing on tho EiflO
pastors of tho North Carolina and
Western North Carolina conferen
ces of tho M. K. Church, South, to I
observe January 25, 192f>, as
"flood Literature Day" by insti-'
t nt in k a campaign to Increase the!
circulation of the "North Carolina
ChrlsLlan Advocate," the organ of
North Carolina Methodism.
According to Dr. I'lylcr, Jan
uary L' ?> h a m been fixed hy church
publishers and llishops of the de- i
nomination an "Oood Literature I
Sunday." it l* expectod thut wide]
observance of thin day will ma
terially increase the circulation of
t lie "North Carolina Christian:
Advocate," which serves a conr.tl- 1
tu'ency of 240,600 Methodists ill1
North Carolina.
While Methodism Ih strong In
North Carolina, the circulation of
tin- "North Carolina /'hi 1st inn Ad
vocate" Ih far from what it ought
to he. Dr. I'lyler nays. The
"North Carolina Christian Advo
cate" carries news of Interest in1
the patronizing conferences and!
gives the status of this section of
Methodism with reference to gen-;
era I denominational movements. !
It is expected that "<Jood Liter
ature Day" will not only sturf a
movement in hehalf of the "North
Carolina Christian Advocate," hut
that local Methodists will partlci
pate III \ he move to Increase the,
circulation of the "Christian Ad
vocate," general organ of the
church published In Nashville,
Ton ii., or which Dr. Alfred !?'.
Smith is editor.
I'lnns for tho observance of
"flood Literature Day" are being ;
sent t o the 7,00? pastors through
out the connection by Dr. A J
Lamar and John W. Marlon,
church publishers, and T. liny?
Wltfgln*. circulation manager of

In view of the fact that the Nil
nnms of Methodist pastors during
the present year will probably be
thrown open to discuss the pro
pi i, -ill unification of the two
branch* s of Ih" Methodist Church,
it Is cxpei ted that church papers,
will be more widely read than ev
er before In Oielr history In order'
to v f. both aides of the question
that is uppermost in the nvndi of
Methodists lit th?? present time. It
Is understood that tho uniflcat ;? , n

that the f??deration take a religi
ons census of t ho town prior to

I paiun.
Mr. I.ane Kaid that bin prayer
in><-tiug <.,v|pofl had led him tcT
believe that the time wan ripe for
a slmlultan. ? ?!?* campaign. Lay
in- n ti ii v? ? li.ol charge of the ser
vices and qul'e a number of pro
fessions have resulted. The tamo
experience has taken place In
plactlcally every church In the
clly. "I decided to give the lay
men one Wednesday night In tna
month." I)r. N. H. D. Wilson said,
"and they have taken four." In
