ONE BRAND OF COOPERATION
Success Cannot Be Attained by Sup

Farmers Must Work Together.

The least satisfactory business ar
rangement imaginable for farmers is
for group Of them to cooperate with
professional promoter. Some of
these gentlemen are abroad in the
land again, and il is worth while to be
on guard against them. Twenty years
ago the creamery builder left his
shadow in the central West, gathered
in a rich harvest of real money and
was seen no more. The creameries he
promoted stayed sometimes a year.
sometimes longer. but most of them
eventually moldered away, the ma
chinery. perhaps obsolete at the begin
ming. rusted, and the farmer investors
cherished their experience. The fault
with the operation was that a cream
cry usually was organized where there
were not enough cows to support it
and the machinery and equipment
were sold at a highly inflated price.
More recently there has been talk
of organizing cooperative packing
plants along similar lines. but this

HARD TO MAKE ENDS MEET"
Farmer Buys Machinery and Supplies
at Retail Prices and Sells Product
at Wholesale Figures.

By JOHN H. VAUGHAN. Professor Of
Economics. New Mexico Agricultural
College)
A manufacturer who bought all his
raw materials, tools. machinery and
supplies at the high retail price and
sold his product at the low wholesale
price would expect but one result
from his enterprise-failure. Instead
of this childish procedure, he goes in
to the market, buys his raw materials
and supplies at the lowest wholesale
figure. manufactures his product. and
puts 1t on the market at a profit. II
his own single purchasing power is
not great enough to secure the lowest
prices on his raw materials, he joins
a group of other manufacturers en-
gagged in like business, In order that
their combined purchasing power may
command the best q. e., lowest)
prices.
Not so with the farmer. He buys
his machinery and supplies at the
highest retail prices. sells his products
at the lowest wholesale prices, and
wonders why he finds 1t so hard to
make ends meet" The shrewdest
captain of industry would become a
bankrupt as the result of such a
policy. Let the farmers think 1t over.
There's a reason.

MIDDLEMAN IS A NECESSITY
Machinery for Efficient Marketing Be-
comes Urgent When Perishable
Goods Are to Be Handled.

In discussing the present marketing
organizations the agriculture depart
ment's specialists do not look upon the
"middlemen" altogether as a parasite
because economic laws would not per-
NIT the long continued existence of a
marketing agency that was acting
solely as a parasite.
Several important factors have con-
tributed to the establishment OF many
middlemen as necessary agents in
the present system OF marketing.
Production during the last decade has
increased greatly, and improved
methods and facilities for handling the
increase have been introduced. Keep
ing pace with increased production has
come the demand OF consumers for
more elaborate and efficient service
Seldom is the fact considered that
service can become a very expensive
luxury. With the widening of the dis
lance between the city and the sources
of its fruit and vegetable supplies
there has arisen the necessity for
special agencies to meet the changed
conditions.
The present distributive machinery,
with all its strong points and its weak
nesses. has been created of necessity,
and it has weathered the storm of
much adverse criticism. Every part
OF the country is now enjoying the per-
ishable products of the most remote
districts. Any readjustment of pres
ent market practices must be based
upon the fact that some agency must
continue to perform the functions Of
the present day middleman.
The problems involved in handling
goods through a large market differ
greatly from those of production.
Usually one man or one firm cannot
handle both production and distribu-
ton and succeed at both. The vast
volume of business transacted at large
market centers makes necessary some
special agencies which can devote all
their energies to distribution. Espe-
cially does the machinery for efficient
marketing become necessary when
perishable goods are to be handled.
Commodities of this sort must be
moved rapidly, must be distributed
evenly, and from their very nature
permit of no weakness in distributive
machinery, if they are to be sold at a
profit.

II parents will give just little in

A mother writes: Our children are
all so much better and stronger than
they ever were before we made a
change in the character Of the food.
We have quit using potatoes three

Now we give the little folks some

some Grape-Nuts with cream. occa
sionally some soft boiled eggs, and
some Postum for breakfast and sup

meat and vegetables.
