BENEFITS OF COOPERATION

There are more than 1900 co-opera.

and they did business last year Of
more than q billion dollars. Kansas
has more than its share of these or.
CARNATIONS, 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 il that there is
definite place for 1t. Cooperation in
Kansas has increased the profits in
farming, and more than this, II has
taught the producers to work togeth-
er. 1t is filling a definite need in the
life and work Of the people. Co-opera,

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. Today there
are 325 such companies doing q sue
cessful business in the state. and from
20 to 30 are being organized every
year. In the last Is months out of 225
companies under close observation in
Illinois only three we're embarrassed
by any sort of financial trouble and
two of those companies have been re-
organized by the farmers and are now
prosperous. AS a test of the sound
ness of the general business principle
upon which they have been organized,
it 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
free grain market reads like q 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
