Milan, Italy, June 17.-Members of
the American Commission on Agricul-
tural Cooperation were shown through
the largest silk warehouse in northern
Italy today. The enterprise is financ-
ed by the silk growers of the dis
trict, and represents one of the most
successful cooperative adventures un-
dertaken by Italian landowners. 1t
gives the farmers the dual service of
affording cheap storage and of secur-
] ing for them sufficient credit to en-
able them to control the marketing
of their silk. The stock ownership
of any one farmer in the warehouse
is limited, and the business is conduct
ed on a cash basis, the profits being
distributed as dividends at the end of
the year. Many members of the COM
mission declared that the visit suggest
ed ideas that might be profitably
adopted by American farmers, especi
ally in the case Of cotton and grain
growers.
At the season when the silk cocoons
are gathered they are sent by the farm
ers to the warehouse A number of
the cocoons are taken from each sack
and tested in order to determine the
quality of the silk obtainable from
each lot. The process of testing
was thoroughly explained to the mem.
bers of the commission. The cocoons
are first soaked in boiling water and
the coarse outer covering is removed
This is sold for the manufacture oi

total value of his crop in his pocket
or placed to his credit at the bank, the
farmer does not need to sell his crop
for some time. If the market is bao
he can hold his produce for a rise.
The necessity under which the farmers
of many sections of the United States
labor, of disposing of thir crop the mo-
ment it is harvested In order to get
money enough to keep themselves
going, is entirely eliminated and as a
consequence the Italian farmers Sc
cure a much better price.
The bankers find the warehouse
deposits of the silk farmers adequate
security for the advancement of rs
per cent of the value of the crop. With
so large a portion Of their possible
profit in their pockets the farmers are
inclined to hold their produce even
beyond a reasonable length Of time
and to play the market. No way has
been found to prevent this practice
since the bankers, of course, have nc
interest in whether the farmers gam
