Cooperative Associations their ~.
Successes and Failures Studied

that one or a few members can not
have complete control. There should
be able management of the associa-
tion. The business manager must be
capable and thoroughly fitted by ex-
berietfce and temperament for the
position? Good business methods must
be fpllowed and accurate records
kept t.rL r.
II is advisable for contracts with
the members whereby the latter agree
to market certain products through
the association. ~ This removes any
temptation ito sell individually. A
grower unwilling to enter into such
an agreement Is not a strong support
er of the enterprise. The"pooling of
shipments whereby the returns for
products sold during certain periods
are averaged is another important
factor.,,ii This method protects the
members from loss on account OF un-
favorable market conditions and as
sures each shipper the same price for
equal grades.
The foregoing are few of the sug-
gestions offered in Farmers Bulletin
f144. In addition to pointing out
when a cooperative organization
should and should not be undertaken,
the bulletin details methods of or
ganization, bylaws, incorporation,
financing, selection and qualification
of the nasement, bonding, and the
duties of the members. Farmers

In particular warning note Is
sounded that cooperative associa-

the results secured without an organ

and desire for a cooperative market

lining factors, such as arise from lack
of marketing facilities or from dis
satisfaction with existing agencies.

RETURNED THE 5000.

Dover, June 24.--Mrs Sallie G. Steven
son was visited few days ago by n
stranger, who appeared at her residence,
on State street, and through representa-
tions that he was acquainted with her
son-in-law, Prof. w. Scott Thomas, living
in California. sought financial accom-
mediation. He said he had just come to
Dover from Washington, found himself
short of funds, due to the failure of some
expected returns from some enterprise,
and asked Mrs. Stevenson TO accompany
him to the Farmers Bank of this town, to
identify him or indorse for him draft of
$500.
Having shown such an interest in the
Thomas family in California, which ap-
pealed to Mrs. Stevenson she readily con-
sented to accompany the man to the bank.
On going To the bank and indorsing the
draft, as requested, the stranger receiving
the money, he returned with Mrs. Steven
son to her home, where he remained a
while chatting very agreeably.
One of the head tellers of the bank, a
relative of Mrs. Stevenson, on returning
to the bank from his dinner on being in
formed of what had happened, and be-
lieving the man had falsely represented
himself, held hasty conference with the
CaSitief bi tue banh, hlttI WHICH the CHsbitl
went TO the home of Mrs. Stevenson
where the stranger still remained.
Mrs. Stevenson, when asked If she
fully realized what she had done and ad-
mitting that the man was an entire
stranger, was asked if she still desired 10
have her name appear on the draft She
informed the cashier that she would with
draw her name and the man being sum-
moned, returned the 5000 TO the cashier
The bank officials could not identify the
California bank.
