The Farmers
Elevator.
BY F. 3. LinfieId, Director Mon
tana Experiment Station.

i. = !. \ = = i. i. !. :. = !. X X J. i. X
The farmers elevator is quite CON-
mon in the Central Western states,
but is rather new thing in Montana
One of the most successful in this
state is the Farmers Alliance, in the
Gallatin valley. 1t fully illustrates
the strength and weakness Of such or.
CARNATIONS and I will use it as sam
pie in presenting this topic.
The organization is a cooperative
corporation. 1t has a capital stock of
100000, with $4,000 paid up. The
shares are $40 EACH but no member
is limited as to the number he takes.
The membership is 400. The Ali.
ance has two elevators, one purchased
and the other built.
The expenses of the Alliance are
met by the elevator and loading
charges. The members are allowed
fifteen days free storage, then | cent
per 100 pounds per month thereafter
Two cents per 100 pounds is charged
for cleaning and loading the grain on
the cars. A commission of l cent per
bushel is charged for selling wheat
and cents per bushel on oats or bar
ley The Alliance also handles hay
Tor it's members.
What success the Alliance has had
in this valley has been in a large
measure due to the manager. He is a
farmer and understands fully the
farmers point of view. He is also a
thorough business man and keeps fully
informed on the condition of the mar
lIet With the telephone now reach.
ing nearly every part of the valley the
manager keeps in close touch with all
the members, furnishing them with
market reports whenever desired
This service which has enabled the
members to take advantage of the
best markets, has added thousands OF
dollars to the income of the farmers
The Alliance, as a rule, buys nc
grain; it is the agent through which
the members sell their grain to the
buyers, either inside or outside the
state. 1t is thus competitor with the
local grain dealer. The effect of this
competition has been to raise the
price of grain from 10 to 20 per cent
in the valley. This was a second ad
vantage, which the Alliance elevator
has been to it's members.
The weakness of this organization
is the weakness of nearly all farmers
organizations-the lack of continuous
cooperation. There are 400 members
