BENEFITS OF COOPERATION
Has Increased Profits In Farming and
Teaches Producers to Work To-
eether-Its Progress.

There are more than $500 co-opera-
tive associations in the United States.
and they did business last year Of
more than billion dollars. Kansas
has more than its share OF these or
ganizations, too. The cooperative
movement among farmers in this coun-
try. and especially in the middle West,
is making more progress than most
men believe.
The reason for the remarkable sue.
cess OF the movement is that there is
a definite place for 1t. Cooperation in
Kansas has increased the profits in
farming, and more than this, it has
taught the producers to work togeth-
er. 1t is filling definite need in the
life and work Of the people. Co-opera-

MAKES LIVING WORTH WHILE
Government Expert Believes Country
Should Have Its Community Gen.
ter-Its Advantages.

Dr. T. N. Carver, adviser In rural
economics to our government, has
written on "The Organization of
Rural Community" He believes that
as the city has its Chamber Of Com
merce, the country should have its
community center. Moreover. in the
country each member Of the organiza-
ton should work on some committee.
Doctor Carver groups the needs of
the country into business needs and
social needs" Under the business
group we have first. better farm pro-
duction This is to be looked after by
committee whose business 1t is to
standardize or grade the production Of
the community. Second, he advises
better marketing facilities and says
four steps must precede the selling Of
production. These are improvement
Of product, Standardization, branding
and education OF the consumer.
The third business need is the Sc
curing of farm supplies. This section
o. the pamphlet discusses all kinds of
cooperative buying, and the weak and
strong points OF the country store.
The fourth need is better credit facil-
ties. This demands group Of men
who will study farm accounts, insur-
ance and means Of credit. The fifth
and last is better means of commun-
cation, notably better roads and tele-
phones
After building his economic foun-
dation, Doctor Carver emphasizes the
things that make living worth while,
or the social needs Of the country.
These are better education, better
sanitation, Identification Of the coun.

POWER IN BIG ORGANIZATION
Success Of Illinois Farmers' Elevator
Companies Shows What Can
Be Accomplished.

The annual meeting Of the Farmers
Grain Dealers association Of Illinois.
held at Bloomington. was one Of the
most important farmers meetings of
the year In 1902" says the Ameri.
can Cooperative Journal. the Official
organ OF the association, there were
about twenty-five farmers elevator
companies fighting for their existence
in Illinois. They had the entire regu-
lar grain trade of Illinois. including
the terminals, using every means in
its power to crush them. T20aI there
are 325 such companies dom n spc.
cessful business in the state, an ,pm
% to 30 are being organizedN cry
year. In the last Is months out OF 2225
companies under close observation In
Illinois only three were embarrassed
by any sort Of financial trouble and
two of those companies have been re-
organized by the farmers and are now
prosperous As test OF the sound
ness OF the general business principle
upon which they have been organized.
1t is significant that more banks failed
in Chicago in three months Of the year
1914 than there were failures OF farm
ers' elevator companies during the
past three years.
The story of the rise Of the farmers
elevator companies and their fight for
a free grain market reads like a ro-
nance Today their association is the
strongest business organization OF
farmers in the state. This venture OF
farmers into business has been highly
successful. 1t is an indication OF what
will happen when farmers become full
ly awake to the importance OF having
voice in the marketing and distribu-
ton Of their crops.
