AGRICULTURAL COOPERATION.

Demands are frequently made for
legislation which will enable farmers
To enjoy the advantages of co-opera-
ton. That farmers should enjoy such
advantages as fully as those engaged
in any other line OF business ID so self
evident that there can be no dispute
or the proposition. Usually the de-
mand is stated in such general terms
that The reader is left in doubt as to
exactly what is desired. but the ten
dency IS to create the impression that
in some way not stated obstacles are
deliberately being placed in the way
o: agricultural corporation. Perhaps
they are; but if they are, the first
step toward the removal OF such Oh
stacles is to have them pointed out.
Whatever obstacles there may be,
and whatever may be the need for
further legislation along this line, the
fact is that agricultural cooperation
is already in progress in this country
on u scale much larger and more gen
eral than is often supposed.
In che REPORT of the Farmers
Equity union just published it is
pointed out that%the union is handling
a grain business Of more than $780,
900. 900 annually: that it handles over
81, 900, 900 worth OF butter and eggs
u year; that it has a membership of
over $4,000 farmers; that it controls
seats on several grain exchanges; that
II has a large purchasing agency
through which twinc, fencing and
lumber are bought direct from the
manufacturers, that it is extending itt
work constantly, and that it is max
ing very satisfactory savings for its
members. (.
Thy society. according to- its presi-
dent, has no political axes to grind
and seeks for no changes in the exist
Ing system OF society. The president
says frankly, I'VE are capitalistic. We
merely advocate the ownership by
the farmer OF u part Of the ean Of
distribution"

BUY A BARREL OF FLOUR.

Reference was made in these COL
umns several days & to the buy

ed by one of the farmers organiza-
tons to aid in checking the down.
ward course of wheat prices. The slo-
gan has been sounded all owe the
country, and the movement actually
I'VE People r buying flour.
There has scarcely been sufficient time
to permit this new purchasing move
ment to exert anEappreciable effect
on the market. It takes time. The
first step in a case Of this kind is ia
ken by the individual consumer. Its
effect is felt first by the local retail
merchants. 1t IL passed on to the
wholesaler in increased orders, and in
turn to the mills in the same manner
Presently the millers find that tn de-
mand is greater than they had antici-
pated, and their output is increased.
and there is a demand for more wheat
for immediate grinding. There will be
some effect on the market before there
has been time for all these steps ac-
tualiy to be taken, but this influence
is certain to be a growing one.
The fact that wheat prices have al
ready advanced sharply without APP
preciab;e stimulus from local flour
purchases indicates that in the opin-
ion Of dealers the impetus OF the drop
had carried prices materially below
the level warranted by actual .condi-
tons. Wheat had become too cheap.
SThere have recently developed condi-
tons of themselves tending to
strengthen the market. such AZ the
prospect of purchases by India and
unfavorable weather in the southern
producing countries.
Because Of these facts it appears
that the advice Ito buy flour was
sound, no only from the standpoint
of the farmer who has wheat to sell,
but Of the u who IL primarily
interested in getting his flour as
cheaply as possible. Those who bought
flour a zee or ten days ago have
saved so cents or more per hundred
as compared with today'g prices.
