FUNDAMENTAL
PRINCIPLES

To establish definitely the fun
damental principles of co-opera-
tive marketing, in such manner
that it is most certain to sue
coed, and to bring to the farmer
and to the rest of the public the
best possible benefit, has been a
gradual process! extending over
a long period of years and of
experience.
All sorts of experiments have
been made in cooperative mar
keting, just as all sorts of ideas
have been tried out in other
fields of business, but the funda-
mentals necessary to success,
and the practices to be avoided,
are now just as we'll established
in cooperative marketing as in
the field of banking or any other
established business. Any bust
ness may succeed in a measure,
even though fault practices
and principles are used, but the
most successful business is al
ways conducted along the lines
of the best proven practice.
Organization by Commodity
The first fundamental prin-
ciple necessary to the success
full operation of a cooperative
marketing business is the or
ganization of marketing on the
basis of commodity.
The community, or point of
production, is important only to
that community, and has no
bearing whatever, on the mar
ket, on the point of consump-
ton, the use to which the COM
modify is put, or the price paid.
Nor is the personality of the
producer of any Importance other
than to determine the quality
of the product, and under this
system a producer who makes a
superior product which the
world needs and is willing to pay
for, secures a greater recog-
milton than he could secure for
himself.
Many efforts have been made
to organize for marketing on a
community basis, some of them
more or less successful, but the
greatest success of cooperative
marketing comes only with the
organization of the commodity
through community or state
units or otherwise, wisely fed
Grated, to control the merchan-
dising of the largest possible
Quantity of a given product.
Cooperative marketing is de-
signed to eliminate destructive
individual competition IN selling,
or dumping of products by a
large number of individuals in

WHAT is COOPERATIVE
MARKETING? g..

Cooperative marketing is the
collective selling, in an orderly
manner, and on supply and
demand basis, of individually
produced farm commodities,
through organizations of pro
ducers formed for that purpose.
Cooperative marketing of
farm commodities is not hold
ing nor is it a "holdup" move
ment. 1t is an intelligent mar
keting system that "merchan-
discs" farm products instead Of
dumping" them.
Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1922-12-28

an effort to sell before the other
man does, and it logically fol-
lows that the larger the proper
ton of a given commodity that
is handled and controlled, the
better the stabilizing effect on
the market for that commodity,
the more even running the price,
and the steadier the demand.
Producers Only Members
There must be no one ad-
mitted to membership in a CO.
operative marketing organiza-
ton except the producers of the
commodity that is being organ
lied for sane merchandising.
The reason for this fundamen-
tai is plain. There must be no
diversity of interests among the
members, and no opportunity
for any member to have per-
sonai interests in the organiza-
ton other than his interests as
a producer.
This does not mean that CO.
operatives insist on membership
and service from dirt farmers"
only. This would be suicidal
shortsightednes. Engaged in the
production of every farm prod
uct there are business men of
the widest experience, Wi3csc
ability is of the greatest value
to the marketing organizations,
and every such organization
seeks to secure their member
ship and to take advantage of
their interest, and their bust
ness experience and ability by
placing men of this type in a
position of responsibility in the
cooperative. AS members or
officers in the marketing asso-
citation they can have no other
interests than the interests of
every other member, and in ap.
plying their experience to the
problems of the organization
they are rendering the same
service to themselves and to
every other member:
Democratic Government
Government Of the operation
of a cooperative marketing as
ISOLATION should always be placed
in the hands of annually elect e,
ed board of directors, nominated
and elected by the membership.
In selecting directors, each
member has one vote, and one
only, regardless of the amount
of his production. Vo ing is ~
men, and not by bales of cotton,
bags of Walnuts, boxes Of
oranges, or sows.
The practice of electing over
tapping boards has been demon
strated to be faulty. An annual
election enables the members to
maintain on the directorate the
really strong men who have ten.
dered efficient service and eIlmi-
nate weak men who may have
been elected to the board through
mistakes in Judgment on the
part Of the voters.
High-Cla Boards
In practice, the members daft
for the board of directors, the
best, biggest and most sue
cessful> men from among the
membership. There is no incun-
tive for man to become a can
didate for this position, since di-
rectors are not paid, except a
rather small per diem while &C.
tually at work, since it means
large inroads on time and effort.
