cooperative rented it out for a small sum. The
co-operatives bought plows, mowers, reapers, har-
rows, scales and harvesting machinery and one or
two of them even installed small -four mills. All Of
this added to the prosperity of the Individual farm
and to the prosperity of French business so no
objections were made by any interest.
Meanwhile some of the far-sighted co-operators
saw that to enable the French farmer to get the
prosperity that he deserved he must have agricul-
tural machinery of his instead Of being able to
rent from his cooperative for few days only. AS
means to this end cooperative banks were organ
lied, some with small capital contributed by in
divual farmers, others with no capital except the,
collective credit of the farmers who joined and
guaranteed each others accounts.
It was necessary to establish strong city connec-
tions for these local credit banks, so that their

thorities; to claim their realization, espe-
cially as regards the charges that weigh on
land, the tariffs of the railways, commercial
treaties, customs and octroi duties, the
rights of stalls in fairs and markets, etc.
As early as 1885, it will be noticed, the
French farmers had caught on to the
fact that to get fair treatment the farmer
would have to do more than merely follow
ttbetter farming" methods. He would have
to get better laws and, to a certain extent,
go into politics. .5s
At the first, however, the co-operatives
devoted themselves largely to the "better
farming" movement. Farming in France
at this time had not developed much beyond
the farming Of the time of Rome, when the
soil was scratched by a crooked stick drawn
by oxen or by human beings. Some of the
cooperative societies began to buy modern
American agricultural machinery. This
machinery was too expensive to be bought
by the Individual French farmers, so the

had given abundant crops. AS result it became
exhausted.
At the same time railroad and ocean transporta-
tion had made great strides The farms of North
America and South America had been opened.
About 1884, just as the French fields were becoming
less productive, wheat began pouring in from the
United States, India and Russia, wool from Aus
tralia and South America, wine from Spain and
Italy, cattle from Italy, Germany and the Argen-
tine and the universal ruin of the home producers
seemed inevitable
Science had progressed far enough to be able to
tell the farmers of France that to produce cheapy
enough to meet this foreign competition they must
have commercial fertilizers. In every farming dis
trict in France few men knew what needed
They told the others. They proposed that the farm
unite their resources, buy fertilizer by the
load or by the shipload, if necessary, and make
better and cheaper crops possible.
There was on the French statute books, however,
law prohibiting farmers and others from associat
ing themselves in cooperative enterprises Before
they could start on their work the French farmers
had to go before their congress and get new law
authorizing them to begin work. By this time the
ruin of the farmers it could be seen clearly, would
involve the entire business of France if it became
complete
AS q result, when the bill was brought up in the
French legislature in 1884, objections were made
by any interests and the organization of afarm
syndicates" authorized and started edately.
The "syndicate"--a French word corresponding
with company" in English-a admitted to member

owners and managers Of estates manufacturers of
agricultural implements and fertilizers and all
others who could show in any way direct indirect,
connection with agriculture The vast ma jority of
their members, however, were actual working

immediate problem of getting chemical fertilizers
and thus building up the depleted soil, the working

SEES INFLUENCE AS HANDICAP
Charles M. SchwaD Insists That Char acter Is the Biggest Asset In
 Modern Business.

Inf1uencel The worst thing that can happen to a man Is to start life with influence. So declared Charles M. Schwab in a talk to Princeton students upon how to succeed in business, re marks Leslie's. Young fellows who excuse their failure on the score of having no influential friend to give them a boost get cold comfort from MT. Schwab, who has come up from the ranks, and who now goes so far as to advise any young man who has an influence not to use 1t to get start. MT. Schwab laid down as the first fundamental of a successful life, "Un- impeachable integrity" Character is the biggest asset in business. A whole array of brilliant qualities will not take the place of this cornerstone of enduring success. The whole tenor of MT. Schwab's heart-to-heart talk was new emphasis on the old-fashioned qualities of loyalty, industry and per- sfstence. The young man who pos SesSeS these traits is bound to succeed, for opportunity was never so great as 1t is today. No industry is more high ly organized than the steel industry, yet with all the progress made in the last 20 years the industry is far from its zenith. So great is the magnitude of modern industry in all branches that opportunities for leadership, in- stead of decreasing as some imagine, have actually increased in proportion as industry itself has grown.
