FOR MARKETING
ARE SUCCESSES
Agricultural Writer Here for lnves-
tieat'on; Says Cooperative
Plans to Market Pro-
ducts, Money Makers

VIM. Dee Little, contributing editor
OF Farm and Ranch of Dallas, Texas,
has been in Grady and adjoining
counties several days collecting in
formation concerning farmers organ
izations In the last few weeks, Mr..
Little has covered much of the
Southwest in this work and has ex-
amined and written much copy
about such organizations. He says
/ that wherever he has been he has
found that organizations formed for
the purpose OF standardizing and
have proved successful. In rare in.
stances mercantile establishments
have also proved successful, but they
are surrounded by more dangers
than the marketing associations, he
says.
Among the growers associations
which have made money for the
farmers are the Bartlett Pear Grow
ers' association Of the El Paso Val
ley, the Portales Valley association
Of portales, New Mexico, and scores
of marketing associations in East
Texas, parts of Oklahoma and Ar
kansas. Particularly effective have
been the sweet potato growers as
sociations,' Mr.. Little says.
"One danger confronting the farm
ers, continues the agricultural
writer, lis the desire to enter the
mercantile business at this time.
Hearing Of the great profits some
of the merchants have been making
on rising markets, they believe they
can make money in the same way,
forgetting that many Of the mer-
chants are now faced with big
loss. Many Of these farmers have
learned that it is much better to buy
in Wholesale such articles az impli-
ments and other non-perishable re-
quirements, dividing the shipments
when they arrive and thus avoiding
any great overhead expense. Farm
ers elevators, gins and even flour
mills have shown handsome profits
in many instances"
Although Mr. Little has written
articles explaining the Oklahoma
Cotton Growers association, he did
not care to be quoted either as ap-
proving or disappearing the move.
Mr. Little went out to r. A. Lyle's
hog farm today to get story about
this well known mans operations.
While in this section he also visited
NARROW, Rush Springs, Anadarko
and other points.
