DEFINITION OF COOPERATION
In Agriculture Il Means the organIza-
ton Of Farmers for Transaction
Of Farming Business.

Cooperation is the working to-
gether of a number Of persons for
some common end. In agriculture, 1t
means the organization of farmers for
the transaction Of business pertaining
to farming Its purpose is to do joint
ly what cannot be done as economical
" or as well by individuals.
Its success depends upon several
factors. A sufficient amount of bust
ness is essential. The co-operators
should live near enough together to
have a community interest and per-
sonal acquaintance. The business
transacted should be simple In nature.
free from any great degree Of specu-
lation and OF vital importance or con-
yenience to the co-operators. 10y
atty to the organization and an intel
ligent spirit of cooperation are funda.
mental. Leadership and harmony are
essential and minor differences among
co-operators must be subordinated to
the common good.
The failure of farmers to study and
practice cooperation Is the chief cause
of the excessive middle profits. II Is
not essential that farmers should sell
their own produce to the consumer
but II is essential that they should be
so well organized that IL they cannot
get their food to the consumer with
reasonable charge for distribution
they should be able to establish dis
tributing agencies Of their own. Until
they do this. producer and consumer
will both be f1eeced.

was internally eighty.
II is the aged mind that frequently

written all over everything in the
