buyers for its products and enables it. in

Build Canneries if Needed
| "A most important matter IN connection
with the profitabl.. growing of perish
| able fruits and vegetable Is the pro-
vision of some effective means to take
| care of the culls and Of all surplus ploduc-
tion that the market will not absorb In

! establishment os canneries, evaporatng
| plants, and plants fer the manufacture
+, of cider and vinegar. The cooperative
marketing association may very properly

ment of plants of this kind 20 take care
of the culls and the surplus production
of its members.
| The activities of a cooperative sell
ing agency may also, in some instances,
be extended to matters connected with

| The Importance of efficient manage
ment in cooperative enterprises of all
| kinds cannot be too strongly insisted
| upon. The success of such an organiza-
! tion cannot be assured by number ot
| farmers getting together and simply
agreeing to cooperate along certain
| lines. The management must be placed
| in the hands of a reliable man, either
a member of the association or an EN-
ploye, who has business capacity and
who will insist upon conducting its
! operations strictly in accordance with
business principles and keeping its ac-
| counts with as much accuracy and
| care as those of a manufacturing oi
commercial corporation. BY givlns
| proper attention to these importan
matters and by studying carefully the
methods by which success has beer
achieved by others I believe that tn,
farmers of many localities in tn,
southeast will find it advantageous t.
