The Cooperative Kingdom.

John l.. Mathews, in Harper's Magazine
The bacillus Of cooperation. abroad in
the world, has affected nations in va
riety of ways; in some its activity has
been directed chiefly to problems of dis
tribution, in others triumphantly applied
to financial credit, and in still others to
agriculture. In every new country 1t in
vades, the social effect differs quite as
markedly as the practical application.
Denmark and Italy, to select two coun-
tries whose conditions are opposed and
whose methods in q manner complement
each other, have especial success In pro-
duction. further manufacture. and mar
keting of the things which are natively
grown: three fields in which there is
usually much waste and loss from the
limitations Of the farmer. not always
caused by ignorance or inexperfence. but
often by economic factors which are not
clearly understood.
Denmark, using cooperation only IN
such manner as to separate all the in
terests of the farmer, helping to main
tain his entity, has taken good care to
make her citizens individualists on the
land and keep them so; the several forms
Of society. each provided for single de-
tail. are quite different from the many
purposed collectivist association OF Raft
feisen's ideal. Denmark presents today
the unique example of COVE nment
d
tenance from cooperation. 1t is Well
called the cooperative kingdom. The
country has long been pre-eminent in
dairying, and the Danes have specialized
with great success. providing England
with butter, bacon and eggs. and reach
ing out toward a greater export trade.
The farmers have also erected a la go
cooperative beet-sugar factory and
considerable number of cooperative pre-
serving factories. This entire business,
including the immense yield OF root and
grain crops and the export of fine live
stock at fancy prices, Is carried on by
population no large; than that OF Chi
cago. and in an area two and a half times
the size of New Hampshire. Denmark
has solved her human problem by means
of p. oper education: she mas solved her
land problem by means of cooperative
mortgage credit and government aid and,
best of all. she ha attacked the most
difficulties between the farm
er and his market with notable success
