FARMERS ARE COOPERATING
over Three Million Of Tiliers Of Soil
Have United In Many Helpful
Associations.

1t Is a most gratifying fact. though
not generally known. that during the
past twelve years the cooperative
movement among farmers has grown
SO rapidly that there are now $4,000
economic associations with a mem
bership considerably over 100000.
There are but 100000 farms in cul-
tivation and in this number more than
one-half are represented in these CO.
operative associations. Among the
great number of cooperative associa-
tons are insurance companies against
FIRE, injury and death to live stock.
These insurance companies will not
have over 1000. 900 stockholders.
For the most part they are we'll

plus which is large for safeguarding
of the interest Of the stockholders
and for the payments of losses.
The 100000 farmers in the CO
operative associations are bonded in
associations large and small for
economical manufacturing OF butter.
cheese making, irrigation. the ware
housing of grain and cotton and the
building of telephone lines.
Perhaps the greatest benefit comes
from cooperation by selling. Sup

found that out to her own bitter cost
and allowed the Danes to get ahead

change since Holland began to move
with the times and adopted the mu-

quality and maintenance of uniformity

butter ranks higher than the Dutch
product on the British market.

the first car to Marssum. where the
