COOPERATION AMONG FARMERS
(By H. j. Waters, President Kansas
State Agricultural College

Continued from last week.
Another way in which the breed
ers might cooperate to great profit
would be to lay aside their prejudices
and breed one class of stock in a com
munity. That is, instead of one farm
er in a community breeding short
horns, another breeding Herefords,
another Angus and another Gallo
ways, let all concentrate on a single
breed of each class, If this were
done, there would be enough short
horn cattle, for example, produced in
the community that specialized in
this breed to establish a reputation
throughout the state for that COM
munity as short horn center and
buyers would be attracted without
large outlay for advertising or show
ing.
Another source of great loss in
animal breeding is the sacrifice of
sires before their value becomes
known or before their usefulness is
ended The owner seldom is able to
dispose of a useful sire at more than
common stock prices, even though its
value is known to be very great.
Every year hundreds of very valuable
sires are slaughtered at the packing
houses long before their usefulness is
ended and young and untried sires
take their places at the heads of our
herds By such cooperative
arrangem ent as is here suggested, a
breeder having an impressive sire
could notify the college authorities
and member of the staff could visit
the farm, inspect the get of the sire
and record him for sale according to
his actual merits The Agricultural
College of each state should become
q clearing house for it's farmers,
helping them to sell their products
and to buy what they need.
To illustrate the value of such a
bureau, this fall Kansas had large
dpplS ClOp anu IL was Certain JudL
many of our farmers would have diff
ficulty in selling their apples to ad-
vantage. A member of the College
Extension Staff is an experienced ap-
pie merchant as well as a successful
orchardist. 1t was made his business
to find buyers for Kansas apples.
Over 400 carloads were sold through
this means. In the main, these sales
were for small growers, men who are
least experienced in selling this crop.
One morning a letter came to the
College from a man in LeavenWorth
county requesting buyer for a car
of Jonathans The same morning a
telegram was received from a mer-
chant in the farmers town not three
miles away inquiring where he could
buy car of Jonathans The two
were brought together, the sale made
and the apples and the money both
were kept at home.

The farmer will not make much
progress in shortening the road to
consumer until the consumer himself
becomes interested and meets the
producer half way. Obviously, the
consumer has no particular interest
in where he buys or from whom he
buys, unless he can buy at a lower
price, or can get better goods at the
same price. In word, the advan-
tages of direct selling must be shared
by both parties to the transaction.
We are now trying to educate the
farmer regarding the Dement'S to him
of cooperation in production and
marketing. 1t is Just as necessary
that the consumer be educated re-
garding the advantages to him of CO.
operative buying. Our present sys-
tenn of buying Is essentially wasteful.
When we were producing more food
than we could consume, there was no
particular reason for economy. Food
has since become scarce, yet we con-
tinue these wasteful methods. Form
erly, the village or town lived large
ly of the surrounding country. Then
the local market was the farmers
chief market. The town and country
were inter-dependent Now the farm
er ships wheat he has to sell to
central market like Kansas City, Chi
cago or New York Now, the town
and country are Independent.

matter of course in closing UP the
