Washington, October 1.-Presi
dent Finley, of the Southern
Railway Company, referring TO-
day to the interest being mani
tested IN co operation in agricul-
tural communities in the South
east, said:
The subject of co-opera tion
in all of it's many possible appll-
cations, is one that is attracting
worldwide attention at the pres
ent time. The extent to which
the cooperate principle has al,
ready been developed is lllustrat-
ed by the fact that the sessions
of the International Cooperative
Allience IN Glasgow, Scotland,
during the month of August
were attended by six hundred
delegates representing over
twenty million members of one
hundred and thirty thousand
cooperative societies in twenty
four counties, ana IN opening the
Congress, as it's Honorary Presi
dent, Lord Grey, the British
Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, spoke OF it as endeavor'
ing to create an international CO.
operative commonwealth.
Sin Denmark, Ireland, and
other European countries. and to
some extent in the United States,
il has been demonstrated that
there is a wide field for the sue
cessful development of co-opera-
tive associations IN agricultural
communities.
"While there are other lines IN
which co operation has been car
ried on successfully and profit-
ably. that to which l believe
special attention may we'll be
given by Southeastern farmers is
the organization of cooperative
selling associations. Such asso-
Citations may be made particular
" useful in the handling of
fruits and vegetables, the profit
able production of which is de-
pendent in large measure upon
successful marketing.
lone of the most important
advantages of cooperative
marketing is that 1T is practlc-
able for an association combining
the resources of a considerable
number of producers to obtain
much more detailed and reliable
information as to conditions at
different market points than can
generally be obtained by any
single individual. This tends to
prevent the overstocklng of one
or more markets while others
may be left with inadequate sup
plies which is one of the great
est difficulties encountered in in-
dependent marketing.
For the accomplishment of the
best results in the distribution of
prnducts among markets it is i'm
portant that a large number of
producers shall unite IN a single
association or that there shall be
effective cooperation between a
number of local associations.
Another matter, the lmpOr
tance of which can not be over
estimated, is that cooperative
marketing organization which ex-
ercises effectlYe control over the
grading and packing of products
can build up valuable reputa-
ton for the producers of It's
locality. When buyers learn
that the grading and packing of
any particular association may

tion may find it profitable to de-
vote more attention, not only to
securing general market lnfor-
nation, but also to looking into
the comparative advantages of
dealing with different buyers in
the same market than can
be done by individual producers.
It's larger volume of business al
SO tends to increase competition
among buyers for it's products
and enables it. IN many instances,
to ship IN carload quantities.
"a most important matter in
connection with the profitable
growing perishable fruits and
vegetables is the provision Of
some effective means to take
care of the culls and of all sur
plus production that the mar ket
will not absorb in a fresh state.
This may be done by the estab-
lishment Of cannerles, evaporated
plants, and plants for the manu-
facture of cider and vinegar, The
cooperative ma marketing assocla-
tion may very properly interest
itself IN securing the establish
ment of plants of this kind to
take care of the culls and the
surplus production of it's mem
bers.

tive selling agency may also, in
some instances, be extended to
matters connected with produc-
ton. 1t may. for example, un-
dertake the buying OF the seeds
used by It's members, looking in
to their purity and germinative
qualities ane lnsuring the pro-
duction of the same varieties by
all members of the organization.
"The smanagements of the
Southern Railway Company and
it's Associa ted Companies, in
maintaining a corps of Market
Agents for the purpose of bring
ing producers in the territory
trayersed by their lines into
relations with buyers, 0have
recognized the value of co-opera
tion. The work done by these
Agents is, in itself, entirely CO.
operative. They are familiar
with the plans of organization
and methods of operation of sue
cessful cooperative selling
organizations and are ready at
all times to give information to
producers who may wish to
organize cooperative associa-
tlons for the marketing of agricu,-
tural and horticultural products,
Zone of the fields in which
cooperation among producers
has been most effective is 10 the
handling of dairy products, eggs,
and poultry through cooperative
creameries. There are now in
the Southeastern States some
highly successful organizations
of this kind, as an example of
which I may cite the Catawba
Creamery at Hickory, North
Carolina. They have been fail
ures of cooperative creameries
in the Southeast as we'll as in
other localities. Such failures
may usually be attributed to one
Of two causes. Either they
have been established in advance
of the assurance of sufficient
supply of cream to insure their
profitable operation or they have
had inefficient management. 1t

success of a cooperative cream

SHREWD STROKE
is RENDERED Vain
Testimony of Girl in Weimer
Case, Practically Knocks
Out the Charge.

The shrewd move of States Attor-
ney F. Z. Thompson yesterday in nolle
pressing the case against Charles
Weimer of Hillsdale. and then rear
resting him. was rendered useless
when the states witness, Miss Sadie
Mercer, took the stand a. the justice
court of c. J. Schroeder at the pre-
liminary hearing yesterday afternoon.
She stated facts there which she had
denied before and which, if true, will
invalidate the states case. Weimer
was charged with abduction for the
purposes Of concubinage. Yesterday
the girl admitted that Weimer had not
been the first to lead her ascray. When
pressed by the surprised states attor-
ney, she gave names and dates and
thereupon Mr.. Thompson had the case
continued 10 days in order to permit
Of investigation Of the girls latest
story. Her last evidence corresponds
with the facts as set forth by Weimer
The latter has been released on his
own recognizance and 1t seems unlike
" now that he will be held TO the
grand jury.
In a charge like the one made
against Weimer, the state must show
that the girl in the case bore a good
reputation prior 10 the commission OF
the crime charged.
Attorneys J. K. Scott and S. R.
Kenworthy for the defendant, while
outguessed by the states attorney in
the circuit court, secured sweet re-
venge when the questions they direct
cd at the girl resulted in the admis,
sions which will secure the liberty OF
their client.
