VITAL INTERESTS INVOLVED
Each Individual of Cooperative Or
ganization Must Make Interests
of Company His Own.
By B. II. HIRRARDN

tBy h II. H1BBARD0
1t is evident from the facts of CO
operation now in effect that farmers
VIII cooperate in matters in which
they are deeply interested and will re-
fuse, or fail. to cooperate in matters
in which they have but a secondary in
terest. For example, the orange grow
ers of California run remarkably sue
cessful cooperative company The
dairy farmers of the upper Mississippi
valley have a great number of success
ful creameries and cheese factories
On the contrary, the farmers of the
Middle West grow great deal of fruit,
but they do not in many instances CO.
operate in its marketing Likewise,
the farmers of southern Iowa. of Mis-
souri, and of Kansas, milk many cows
but in these sections cooperative dairy
organizations do not flourish. To be
good member of a cooperative COM
pany each individual must feel that his
interests are those of the company and
its interests his Otherwise the CO.
operative company will be given but
little attention. He must think in
terms Of the association.
An apple grower knows apples and
gets his living by selling them. 1t is
of vital concern to him whether he
gets dollar or dollar and quarter
box for his crop. while to the aver
age Iowa or Illinois farmer the price
of apples is of little moment. How
ever, a margin of five cents a bushel
on grain to them often makes the diff
ference between profit and loss.
There are abundant exceptions to
this general proposition so far as mere
numbers of associations GO For ex-
ample, the cooperative telephones and
the mutual insurance companies are
numerous. These companies involve
so little farm finance however, that
they can and are run without much
attention from the average farmer.
They are good things. but enter very
little into the ups and downs of farm
ing.
Thus it might almost be said that
the business which lends itself to CO.
operative action is either that in which
the farmer has the greatest concern, or
that in which his concern is constant
but very slight. and which can be run
with little or no attention from the
majority of farmers involved.

A Little inconsistency

The farmer who makes only his
living is said to be losing money,
because he is not making a percentage
on his investment or getting good
wages for his time. Nevertheless a
man may toll away in the city day
in and day out and at the end of the
year find he is not anything ahead of
the game, yet he is never spoken of
as failing to make his living. Isn't
there little inconsistency here?
