The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1883-01-20
COLUMBUS, MISS

A great responsibility rests upon
the leaders of our Order in this
State. They performed their duty
well and faithfully at the recent
State Grange meeting and now to
make that work effective they must
labor earnestly and zealously in their
respective Oranges. The farmers
must be aroused, their interest in the
cause kept alive, by the efforts and
the example of the leaders. If these
will keep at work in the Grange
hall and through the columns OF the
Grange press, they can keep up q
steady onward movement in the
State throughout the entire year.
The members of the Grange ought
to stand by it like men, and make it
in truth the representative organiza-
ton of intelligent, fearless men, who
know their rights and interests and
are determined to enforce and pro-
tect them.
The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1883-01-20

the cooperative store could not sell
upon better terms than the ordin-
ary merchant does, then it would
be foolish to establish such stores.
for it would result in disaster.
And this is true of any cooperative
enterprise. There must be de-
mdnd from the farmers for the goods
to be sold or the articles manufac-
tured sufficient to justify the estab
iishment of cooperative store or
factory or other enterprise.
The Rochdale cooperative sys-
tenn has been thoroughly tested both
in England and this country, and
has met every requirement of mer-
chandizing whenever its principles
were rigidly adhered to- Mistakes
have been made, the plain teachings
of the system ignored, and failures
were the natural result In many
instances the stores were placed in
the hands of incapable or dishonest
men, broken-dow merchants and
farmers, who had never succeeded
at anything, and their failure was
but a question of time. If a man
cannot succeed at merchandising,
or at the law, or politics, or farming,
he will be very apt to fail at the
head of a cooperative enterprise.
We feel sure that, most of the fail
ures of cooperative enterprises can
be traced to the incompetency or
the dishonesty of the men entrusted
with their management, and this
will be the case to the end Of the
chapter.
To succeed at CO operation then,
the manager must be man of ca.
pacity and integrity, and there must
exist clearly defined demand fol
the enterprise. Any one can sue
ceed splendidly on paper with any
kind of a cooperative enterprise
but there are few comparatively
who can build up and carry on suct
an enterprise successfully. If th'
failures are attributable mainly tt
incompetency or dishonesty, it will
be found that the successful co-ope
rative enterprises have capable an'
honest men at their head-men wh'
succeed at everything they under
take.
