There mas leen a wonderful growth
of the cooperative club idea thruout
the United States. These clubs are
eNerting n great energy in producing
larger return per acre of farm crops
by teaching the saving OF produce that
has heretofore been wasted. They arc
spreading a knowledge OF simplicity
and in many Instances stimulating
production and sane methods OF
marketing
This article will treat with marketing
poultry products.
Farmers and poultry men of THESE
ntermountain states can get better
prices thru cooperation and this will
stimulate the production of poultry A
business succeeds because Of its organ
ization based upon a clearly defined
system. II is the organization that IS
essential to stimulate n wonderful de-
velopment OF the poultry industry. The
rural schools would he the stepping
stone for the better marketing OF farm
products. To-day we have tho consoli-
dated school districts which are based
upon the cooperative principle The
children are picked UP by auto buses
and taken 10 tho central point. These
buses could also gather the eggs twice
weekly. dark room could be installei
for ca ndlinr tho ekr,s and for these certi-
Ned cSgs trade can he developed. In
stead Of receiving twenty cents n dozen
duccr would receive nice bonus OF ten
cents per dozen. Tho cost Of getting
eggs to market is nil and the intolli-
gent handling OF farm produc.s is in
-crestinS 10 every boy ane girl.
Farmers reldom apply iiC business
ideas and rarely stardar.,izc their prod
rcts. Buye-s know the general careless
moss Of tho farmer and consequently buv
his produce as stun. There must b,
n distinction between a sincere farmer
tserious individually and the trifIcr
thnppy -Eo-lucky) fellow.
Organization is the pass word IT,
economy and Standardization. the lat
ter being n guarantee to better prices
and profit to the producer. The rural
commupitiss need leadership and to
this end the local poultry associations
car supply people OF superior knowl-
edge and experience to assist In such
q valuable Industry. Thru such Of.
forts you become hcncfnctors ard
cause greater net returns to tho pro-
ducerR.
