County Agents Responsible for Success
of the Work-They Have Shown
Farmers With Less Than Carloads
How They Can Increase ProftA
By G. L. Brehm.

Cooperative marketing in Tennes-
see began with cooperative ship
ment of fat cattle from Franklin coun-
ty ON April 20, 1918, with the assist
ance of the county agent who was In
strumental in organizing the farmers
in his county for this purpose. The
shipment consisted Of ten carloads In
Guiding 263 head of cattle, ranging In
weight from $50 to lbs pounds.
Twelve farmers were interested In the
shipment.
These cattle were consigned to the
st. Louis Stock Yards and were sold
on April %, for prices ranging from
$40 to Sleeper hundred weight They
netted the farmers $35,S6s.57. The
best load, weighing 1857 pounds,
brought the high price. Buyers In the
county bid on these cattle before ship
ment at prices ranging from 81 to
Sl1.25 per hundred weight, according
to the quality and condition Of them.
The owner of the cattle, which sold
for $l625 on the st. Louis market,
was offered SLIPS per hundred weight
at home. 1t cost about SIPS per hun
dred weight, including the drift to
market these cattle In st. Louis, but
In spite Of this marketing cost, accord

operative wool sales were held last
spring, aggregatlng 4SQz5 pounds.
This wool sold for prices Ringing from
&c to 5Slkc per pound, depending on
quality. This was more than many
local markets afforded. Many local
markets did not offer for clear wool
from individual farmers more than Acc
q pound. These sales resulted in
farmers receiving $3,34024 more for
their wool by cooperative marketing.
From a business Of So, S6S.5T done
by one association In 1918 such mar

from January !, 1919, to July 81, 1919,
the various associations collectively
in all products marketed cooperative
ly sold more than S325,000 worth of
produce for their members. This is a
healthy growth of the movement In
one year and is due to the fact that
these associations increased the re-
turns Of the farmers $22,750
1t Is significant also that where such
marketing has been started, II is in
variably followed by Increased produc-
ton and especially better grade OF
livestock, thus adding to the prosper
ity Of the farmers and the county.

Ing to the farmers who were interested
in the shipment and several who went
with the cattle, they realized $1,000
more than the local market offered.
From this initial shipment, co-opera-
tive marketing spread rapidly. Pro-
gressive farmers readily see that such
marketing enables them to get the
highest price for these goods. Coop
erative marketing brings the larger
central market, even for the small
farmer with less than carload Of live
stock, in direct competition with the
local market and brings prices to their

found scattered about the gargea
indicated this fact.
