is evident and other conditions ap-
pear favorable for an organization, a
meeting of the interested parties
should be held and bylaws contain
ing a definite working plan should
be adopted.
SHOULD HAVE LEGAL STANDING
This plan should prescribe the OBJ
Jects of the association, whether it
is to be of stock or nonstock form,
the method of financing, the duties
and power Of the officers anu mem
bers, and the general plas OF opera
tlon. 1t is advisable to incorporate
In the plan definite methods of han
ding the members products, systems
OF pooling the results and making re-
turns for products sold. A coopera-
tive association should be incorpor-
ated in order to give it the proper
legal standing.
In most instances contracts be-
tween the members and the associa-
t1on, whereby they agree to market
certain products through it, are of
vital Importance. This is especially
true in the case of associations han
ding perishable products. Contracts
promote loyalty and protect loval
members and the organization. Low
atty on the part of the members is
essential to the success of an organ
lzation. Disloyalty has caused the
failure of more than one cooperative
organization. Strong men should be
selected for officers of the association,
and men who will cultivate loyalty
and inspire confidence.
The manager is the keystone of the
organization. His selection is of the
utmost Importance. He should be
experienced in marketing the line Of
products intrusted to his care: he
should possess tact and good iudg-
ment, and be honest and above sus-
p1c1on. The success of the organiz-
alton depends upon his ability to
meet the members and the trade with
which the organization deals, and to
retain their confidence. He should
possess the proper qualifications for
the position; he should be given
broad powers and the hearty support
OF the members in his work, together
with salary that will attract ability
and be commensurate with the SER
vices expected of him.

Rata causs LOss to cane orOwera

Rats Cause Loss to Cane 0rower&
Cane growers In Porto Rico estimate
their annual loss at $4,000, due not
only to the cane actually destroyed,
but also to the fermentation set up
in the cane juices in the stalks that
had been gnawed upon, thus reducing
the purity and the sucrose content.
This loss was based upon the estimate
that only one-half of per cent Of
stalks were attacked by rats; but in
reply to inquiries, the estimates made
by different planters varied from / per
cent to per cent of stalks attacked
by rodents.

FIND ADVANTAGES In
COOPERATIVE MARKETS
Most Effective Local Organizations
Found Where Necessity Drew
Farmers Together

The success or failure of a farm
depends almost entirely upon the re-
suits obtained in marketing the pro-
ducts grown. Experience has proved
that the farmer who undertakes to
market his products through specul-
ators or who attempts to ship and
market them in some very distant
market is laboring under great dis
advantage.
Marketing is specialized function
and is really the most serious prop
lem confronting the farmer today,
and the rank and file of farmers are
not equipped to perform this service
for themselves in satisfactory man
ner. Many difficulties encountered In
marketing farm crops have been over
come through the organization and
operation of farmers cooperative
marketing associations. Cooperative
marketing has passed the expert
mental stage, and the $4,000 or more
examples of successful organizations
in operation in this country offer
positive proof that the principles OF
cooperative marketing are funda-
mentally sound and practical.
CONFINE THEIR EFFORTS
The most successful cooperative
organizations confne their efforts to
the shipping and marketing OF GER
tain specialized products, such as
citrus fruit, apples, peaches, potatoes
melons, poultry and e6gs, dairy pro-
ducts, live stock, tobacco, and grain
The substantial growth of coopera-
tive marketing activities in this coun-
try is perhaps best illustrated by the
fact that the aggregate volume O4
business done in single year
through cooperative associations ana
exchanges runs up into the hundreds
of millions of dollars.
The handling of farm crops by
groups If farmers through central
associations and exchanges offers
manv advantages, such as the I'M
movement and standardization OF
grading and packing; the obtaining
and use of reliable crop and market
information; the intelligent develop
ment of permanent markets; the
effecting of savings through the col
1ective sale Of farm products and pur-
chase of farm supplies; the proper
financing of all activities, including
the building of warehouses, the pre-
paration of crops for market, and
their movement to the markets; and
the employment of trained and ett1-
cient business and sales management.
An organization founded on dire
need with well-defned purpose mas
the best chances of success. Farm
ers who are satisfied with the results
obtained without an organization DO
not feel a need for an association.
Necessity for an organization may
arise from the lack of marketing
facilities, or from dissatisfaction with
existing agencies. When a cooper
a+ive marketing association is under
consideration it is advisable to nave
a preliminary survey made by COM
petent local people or by experienced
cooDerative organization specialists
from the United States Department or
Agriculture, whose advice and SER
vices are available upon request. In
making such a survey care should be
taken to ascertain the need for an
organization, the attitude Of the
farmers toward such an undertaking,
and the approximate development Of
