David f. Houston, federal secretary
of agriculture, is firm believer in
the need for cooperative action
before the national grange he said:
In simple justice the producer must
be paid specifically for what he pro-
duces and for nothing else, and the
consumer must receive what he thinks
he purchases and must be willing to
pay fair price for a good product
1t is absolutely clear that before the
problems of rural credit and of mar
keting the individual farmer, acting
alone, Is helpless. Nothing less than
concerted action will suffice. Co
operation is absolutely essential The
same business sense and the same or
ganizing genius which have placed
this nation in the front rank in in
dustry must be invoked for agricul-
ture.
Il am not advocating an organiza-
ton which will attempt to establish q
closed market and to fix prices. / am
advocating simply an economic ar
rangement which will facilitate pro-
duction and enable the producer to
fiId the readiest and best market for
his product and the consumer to re-
ceive his supplies at the lowest cost
It goes without saying that the mem
bers of the cooperative society must
be those who are bona fide producers,
and that every approach of the ex-
ploiter must be aggressively repealed.
The object must be specifically econo-
mic and not remotely political"
