WHY NOT HERE Too7

At recent meeting of the farmers
merchants board of trade at Acworth,
Ca, definite plans were perfected for
the establishment of large power
sorghum mill in Acworth. 1t is an
nounced that the mill will be large
enough to take care of al the cane
that can be grown in that section
Furthermore, the mill will take care
of all details, such as canning, label
ing and the selling of the product to
the best advantage.
1t is further stated that the best
syrup makers will be engaged, and at
tractive trade mark established, and
the finished product put upon the
market.
This enterprise, now positively as
sured, will afford the farmer a ready
market for all the syrup cane he can
grow. Hundreds of acres in that sec
ton have already been promised to
De put into cane, and the farmers
around Acworth are very enthusiastic
over the project.
This is a commendable enterprise,
md a few acres on each farm in sor-
shum would be good substitute for
few. short acres in cotton. Thou
sands of gallons of corn syrup and
other varieties are shipped into Ches.
.erfield county every year. Why not
grow it at home. There are hundreds
# acres of wet land in this county
hat is too wet for corn or other crops,
hen why not sorghum mill for Ches,
-erfeld?
This syrup put up in convenient
size cans and beautiful labels, no
trouble will be found in selling it to
wholesale grocers in large quantities
And some of our local travelling men
might be glad to sell it as side line
This would give Chesterfield farmers
another good cash crop.

marketing say that it can be done
more economically in many cases by
the growers acting together through
cooperative marketing associations.
All are agreed that growers acting in
dividually could not do as well as our
present set Of middlemen.
Successful Co-operatives Pointing the
Way
There are enough successful CO.
operative marketing associations now
doing business to point the way. The
subject has become perhaps the livest
agricultural topic in America. Grow
ers of every kind of commodity are
studying the principles underlying the
successful cooperative marketing as
socatons with the idea of applying
these principles to their own commodi.
ty.
These principles will be explained
in later articles.

GET 1T BY WINNING

nit"
He got it.
Later we talked with the father,
and in the course of the conversation
remarked that his boy seemed to have
just about everything he happened to
want.
"Yes, 1 give him everything he
wants, if it is within my power to get
it for him." replied the boys father.
But arn't you afraid Of overin-
dulging him." we asked.
mo, SIR" emphatically, 81 believe
it the thing to do"
He paused until the remark had
time to sink in and assimilate, then
he continued,
Il believe a child should be given
everything he wants, if within reason.
Let him get the habit of getting what
he wants in his budding years, and
when he reaches seniority, that habit
will abide with him and put him on
easy street."
This was new angle, and there
was no further argument.
But, on sober second thought, we
are inclined to believe that this theory
is wrong.
The habit of getting what one
wants is an admirable one indeed-if
one wins it.
But, when one has had every desire
gratihed, without effort, he may get
the idea that they will come in the
same manner to the end of the game
but they won't
When we get into the honest-to-
goodness battle of life, when the other
fellow wants the same thing we want,
when ne feels he just must have it,
there will be struggle-and the best
man wins.
If we want that boy to get what he
wants, it is well, but let him earn it.
Then he will appreciate it after it is
won.
Abraham Lincoln got the habit of
getting what he wanted, to a great
degree, but he struggled against over
whelming odds for years before things
began coming his way. No fond par
ent stood at his beck and call ready
and able to crafty his every whim.
Lincoln struggled to acquire and
struggled again to retain.
The author of David Harem''
wanted his manuscript published; but
the first publisher to whom he sub
mitted it did not accept it; nor the
second, nor the twentieth. But he
fought on and struggled and strained
and won.
There is an old saying to the eff
feet that whatever we get that is
worthwhile, we must pay just what it
is worth"
So, get the habit Of paying.
Everything comes to him who waits
if he works hard enough while he
is waiting.

amount the Atlantic Coast Line rail
road gets S2,400,OO0 and the At

all that money the roads ought tc

CONCERNING COOPERATIVE
MARKETING


Having seen in the last article that
marketing Of farm crop includes as
sembling or concentration, grading,
warehousing, processing, transporta-
tion, financing, salesmanship and re-
failing, we should readily understand
why the farmer acting as an individu-
al is such a poor merchant of his own
products. Acting alone he can do very
little with any of the various steps in
marketing. Usually at the very first
step, that of assembling the commodi-
ty, the title passes from the grower to
a middle man" and all subsequent
steps in marketing are performed by
middlemen. Sometimes a growe' will
warehouse part of his crop and, if he
is large grower, may grade the crop
and later sell it by grade. By far the
great majority, however, put their
crops on the market soon after har-
vesting, accepting in payment the cur
rent cash value and accepting also the
more or less arbitrary grading of the
buyer. This price is usually too low
because of the fact that markets are
being glutted, and the grading is fire.
quently unfair to growers for no reas-
, on except that buyers know grades
and growers do not.
AS Individual Seller, Grower Com
petes With Grower
Acting as individuals in selling,
growers have to compete with one an
other, this competition resulting fire.
quently in prices below cost of pro-
duction. 1t seems that regardles of
how economically crop may have
been produced, there are always some
growers whose financial condition
compels them to sell whether or not
they get the cost of production. This
number who must sell is sufficient to
break the market and compel all 9TH
er growers to accept losing prices.
Profits from farming are, through
our individual methods of marketing,
thus maintained at low levels, and this
is of course reflected in our low scale
of living.
Farming is generally regarded as a
selling business. Practically all of the
farmers energies, physical and men,
tai, are spent in economical produc.
ton. He has little time and capacity
for studying marketing conditions
and, as an individual, he can do moth
ing to correct poor conditions even if
he were as we'll informed as the ex-
pert middlemen who handle the mar
keting.
Why Berate Middlemen?
In spite of these facts, when the
grower brings his crop to the market
he is put in the absurd position of
matching his wits with experts who
have made life studies of how to buy
lowest and sell highest. Moreover, ev-
cry middleman who handles his crop
is a part of an intcrlocking economic
system the tendency Of which is to
pay the lowest possible price and ex-
act from consumers the highest pos
sible price. This, however, is no reas-
on for berating middlemen. The work
which they do is in most cases neces-
Sary. Their ranks include our bankers,
merchants, railroads, warehousemen,
manufacturers and others in addi-
ton to spectators. The only question
| that can be asked about middlemer
is, can the work they are doing be
done more economically in some other
way? The advocates of cooperative

Georgia as compared with the
