FoRESEES DROP IN PRICES
s. A, LInnekin Also Tells Poor Rich
ards Business VIII Slump

There is to be a good sized slump
in business next year, and prices will
drop at the same time, according to S.
A. Linnekin, business expert, who
addressed the members of the Poor
Richard Club at their regular weekly
luncheon today.
Before this happens, however, he
said, prices, will continue to soar until
they reach their peak After that the
slump. Food, clothing and other neces-
saries of life will be affected, he as
serted.
Mr.. Linnekin expressed little hope
for success of thrift campaigns, and
other methods being tried to lower the
cost of living The fault OF high food
prices, he said, is low food production
in Europe. As soon as Europe produces
bumper crops again and things are
better balanced the world over prices
will come down.

LIVESTOCK SHIP
PING ASSOCIATIONS.

From the current issue of the Or
leans County Farm Bureau News.
Now that one community in Or
leans County has begun to think in
terms of cooperative shipping of
livestock, it might be well to review
briefly what some of these organiza-
tions are doing in the United States.
In many parts of the country, more
especially in dairying districts where
most farmers have only small
number of animals to sell at one
time, there is a considerable amount
of stock in excess of local demands.
This STOCK must be ct-.2~c5 to the
central markets and consequently To-
cal buyers have operated extensively
in farming sections where the lndi-
vidual farmer does not produce in
numbers sufficient to ship in carload
quantities. The margin of profit on
which these country buyers operate is
often exorbitant. In some communi-
ties the buyers, contrary to law, are
said to have an understanding among
themselves whereby they eliminate
competition and force the farmers to
sell at fixed prices. To a large de-
gree these factors account for the
rapid spread of the cooperative ship
ping movement.
Farmers Livestock Shipping Asso-
Citations are one of the newer forms
of organized cooperation. The first
cooperative organization for shipping
stock in this country was formed at
| Litchfield, Mimi, in 1908. Today
there are over 500 organizations in
| the various states that are shipping
stock in a cooperative way. 1t
has been estimated that in 1914 ap-
proximately S6,000,000 worth of live
stock was shipped by cooperative as
sociations in Minnesota alone.
| That these organizations are eff
cient is evidenced by the fact that
| the average cost of marketing in one
association in 1913 and 1914 was SO
cents per hundred pounds. A very
conservative estimate of the local
/ buyers margin in that same region
was so cents per hundred. That
means that in the seven years of
/ its existence, it has saved the farm
ers of that region S25, 700 on the
/ 7O6 carloads of stock shipped CO.
operatively; all of which is worth
considering. There is no reason why
the farmers of Orleans County are
not just as capable of handling
their own business as in other
places. 1t is up to the farmers
themselves whether they want such
an organization or not, and once
they have it whether they will sup
port it
