lllnn. Farmers Organizations Sell
$500, 900, 600 Worthof Products
Annually At Low Cost 10 State
The Third of Series 81 Articles On The Minnesota plan

\ ~ L \ Il, w.
It is one thing to pass laws and
quite another to make these laws ac-
tually work. n T.. \; A, 4,
s. Minnesota realized this fact, when,
its state legislature passed laws to en-
able the farmers to combine Coop
eraivelys with . view to controlling
their. own market system and SO took
steps to make the laws workable and
not mere ornaments to the statute
book to furnish ma aterial for campaign
speeches. A
I SO q commissioner Of agriculture
was created, and on him was imposed
the duty of seeing that the farmers
had full opportunity to try out the
Results Of Work. Il
With his assistants he has been do
ing this ITO such good effect that to-
day there are over 5000 local Coop
erative associations in Minnesota. OF
these 1850 are non-marketing organ
izations4 such as telephone companies,
etc, but there are over 1900 associa-,
tions actively engaged in the market
ing of farm products. These include,
$50 creameries, 450 livestock shipping
associations, 400 elevators and 100 po-
tato shipping associations.
sf Some idea of the amount Of busi-
mess now being done by these associa-
tions may be gained from the fact
that last year they marketed farm
products valued at some $200.00e, 900.
The expense to the state in a year
for the services of experts in the ag-
ricultural department, etc, is about
$4,000. This is the only expense in
connection with the system to be
paid out of the public fund.
