COOPERATIVE SOCIETIES.
Rural New Yorker:

Rural New Yorker:
Next in Importance to the cooper
alive agricultural credit associations
of Germany are the cooperative so
cieties for the purchase of farm sup
plies. These have been developed
principally within the last twenty
years and are now found very gen
orally distributed over the entire
country. According to the latest avail
able statistics there are over 1000
such societies, with an average mem
bership of over 100 per society, which
means that over 100000 German farm
ers are members and purchase their
supplies through them. The average
amount of goods purchased through
each society amounted to $12,500 per
year, or total of $5O,0O0,0O0, which
is estimated as being one-sixth of
such goods purchased by the farmers
of Germany. While all kinds Of sup
plies used by farmers are purchased
through such societies, the greater
part of their business is the buying
of commercial fertilizer, feed stuffs,
seed and grain, coal and farm machln'
cry. The result of the organization
of purchase societies has been the
collective or wholesale purchase OF
these products with guarantee as to
their quality. 1t has resulted in fur
nishing the farmer goods not only at
cheaper price but of better quaai-
ty and has insured his getting what
he paid for.
These organizations are benefiting
not only the farmers themselves, but
they accomplish economic savings to
the distribution of goods that benefits
the merchant as we'll as the farmer.
They substitute a wholesale market
for retail, goods are sold and Ship
ped in car load lots instead of in
one and two ton lots, and the sale OF
goods is made to one person or at
most a small committee instead of to
fifty or a hundred different farmers.
tAll of these savings enable the mer-
chant to sell his goods on a narrow
er margin and the farmer gets the
benefit of it.
Cooperation has proven to be the
key to success for the German farm.
er and it certainly offers great pos
sibnities to the farmers of America.
The greatest problem before the
American farmer at the present time
is not the production of larger crops,
the improvement Of his live stock, or
even the maintenance OF the fertill-
/ ty of his soil, important as all of
these are, but, rather, the reduction
of cost of distribution, both of what
he buys and what he sells. If this
can be done the farmer will get a
larger proportion of what the consum-
er pays for farm products as well as
the consumer getting them at low
er price. If the cost of distribution
can be reduced ON the goods he
buys, he will pay more nearly what
the manufacturer gets for his products
and 1t will be mutually beneficial.
A simple and effective way to be-
gin is by establishing cooperative
purchase societies through which
farmers can buy few of the more
commonly used goods. The success
Of these societies will soon lead to
the adoption of other forms of agri-
cultural cooperation and it's general
adoption means revolution of Amer
lean agriculture.
