REMARKABLE GROWTH
OF COOPERATIVE FIRMS
Northern Iowa Farmers Have
Been Successful in
Business.
INVESTMENT IN MILLIONS
Since Last Annual Meeting of stat
Organization seventy-Five
New Societies Have
Been Organized.

Mason City, Ia, Jan. 31.-One of the
most remarkable growths in Iowa bust
ness affairs during the past year has
been the increase in the number OF the
iowa farmers cooperative associa-
lions. The annual meeting, TO be held
at Mason City February 1 and 2. of
this organization OF Iowa farmers calls
to mind some facts which the chron-
icles of the organization show.
According to the report of the secre-
tary at the last annual meeting there
were exactly thirty societies in active
operation in Iowa. Since that time
there has been seventy-five new ones
organized and between thirty and thir-
ty-five more in process of organization

scribed by the tillers of the soil by mu-
tual agreements is invested IT. the

$4,000.

capital stock varies from $4,000 to $15,-

ton.
Last year Rockwell transacted $685.

about 100000 bushels of grain. Stan
hope in Webster county transacted last
year Il quarter of a million of dollars,

and Dayton nearly twice as much.

bushels of grain. St. Ansgar. which is
also n new society. organized Within
the last few weeks, has n capital stock
of $4,000, but this society will handle
live stock.
The cost of handling the business is
small Rockwell did s624.000 of bust
ness i'm 1901 ut an expense OF three
fourths of per cent or at cost of
about $4,000. 1t cost Gowrie to do
$685. the same year $4,000 Another
society with II $4,000 business did it
at am expense of $500. 1t will be
seen that the larger the volume of
business the less the cost to operate
These samples given only indicate
what the other societies IF the state
are doing All are practically doing the
