As the reader is probably aware, a
great many growers cooperative
marketing associations have failed.
This has been due, I take it, not
to any inherent weakness in the
principles Of cooperative market
ing itself, but rather to the lack Of
exercising sufficient care as regards
the economic and legal aspects Of
the organizations when first started.
Those cooperative associations
which have been successful have
been formed after careful and pains
taking study of the situation and
what it would probably take to i'm
prove conditions. One Of the main
elements of strength in the Califor-
MIA co-operatives has been the long
term contracts with the members.
This has been of great value in as
surfing the association a sufficient
volume of business to warrant the
employment of expert sales man
ayers and also in the highly impor-
tant matter of obtaining sufficient
financial backing to carry on their
operations.
Under these long term contracts
the growers agree to deliver all Of
their particular crop over a period
of years to the central marketing
organization.
The tobacco growers. I believe,
could so organize themselves on the
'"ns term contract basis as to insure
ftting for the members the highest
possible market price. This does
not 'ean, Of course, that they
