FARAIERs, CO.oPERATIoN.

The annual report of the Farmers Co
operative Shipping association shows up
this year with loss. This is one of
the two big farmers associations that
have been inaugurated in Kansas dur
ing the past three or four yeaEs. It
confines its operations to Oklahoma,
Kansas and Nebraska.
The reason for the loss is undoubtedly
the slump in wheat some time ago. The
company had bought a large amount OF
grain and was holding it for a further
rise Had the grain been sold at the
proper time it would have resulted in
big profit to the company, but it was
held too long. and the company had
not sufficient capital to carry it over.
The grain had to go for less than had
been paid for it. The exact amount of
the loss is not made public. but it is
supposed to have wiped out most of
the profits made a year ago, which
amounted to over $1,000
This loss does not prove that the CO.
operative movement is a failure. On the
contrary. this company alone has put
far more than that amount in the
pockets of its members during the past
year by simply holding up the price of

association has done a tremendous bus

year ago it had less than $4,000 OF

profits.
