to the ordinary stores profit, and 1t
good man for less than he would be
able to make In business for HIM

methods Of purchasing farm supplies
comparatively which will be found to
be of advantage. The simplest Is
the joint order, in which a group Of
farmers can buy given article In
large quantities, thereby effecting
considerable saving in the expense
of handling, commissions, etc. Some
times when this method Is adopted
warehouse is added, which Is own
ed or rented comparatively and in
which the goods are stored until the
associated purchasers need them.
If these two methods have been
tried and found successful it may be
desirable to carry them out to their
logical development and conduct a
| cooperative store which renders the
same service to its customers that
private enterprise would. This,
however, inevitably leads to compli.
cations and should only be undertake.

With the committee on farm fin

to ascertain what farm enterprises

possible when accurate accounts are
kept and carefully analysed. After
this has been done, the next step is
to secure the most favorable terms

Where the local bankers are unwill

other ways Of securing capital. One
OF the simplest plans for accomplish

features Of this plan are that group

The work of most Of these commit
tees is indicated sufficiently clear
by their titles. For example, the
committee on production can do much
good by improving the breeds of live
stock in community through coop
erative purchases of pure bred males.
II can encourage the formation of
corn, poultry, pig, cattle, canning,
and gardening clubs, which have al
ready demonstrated their value in the
sections where they have been estab.
lished, and it can carry on useful
studies Of the type of agriculture
best fitted to local conditions. d,
In the same way the committee on
marketing can secure the standard
ization of the community's products
and thus obtain better prices than
are possible when nondescript goods
are dumped upon the market The
committee can also search out the
best markets, make contracts on a
large scale which will be more fav
orable than any individual can secure
| for himself, and In many other ways
economize in the selling of the com
munity's goods. Even II cooperative
marketing is not actually resorted to

collects can hardly fail to be Of grea
