The Greatest Economist.

Henry Ford does not love wall
Street, nor Wall Street Henry Ford
yet from the Wall Street Journal
comes perhaps the highest praise the
manufacturer has received.
That publication credits Ford with
having expounded "the greatest
economic truth in the world today
a truth that seems generally to have
escaped observation," and with be-
ing literally "the most practical eco
nomist in the world
The 'struth" referred to is the idea
set forth by Ford in recent inter-
view, that the greatest benefit a
wealthy man can confer on his fell
low-men is to expand enterprise and
increase opportunities for employ
ment. "Work ITSELF" says the Jour-
nal, sis the greatest educational
force in the world, and the opportu-
nifty to work-opportunity to labor
and secure the results of labor
have made the United States the pos
SCISSOR of nost of the value that is
in the world today"
Very likely. And yet, somehow, a
thoughtful person may not be quite
satisfied with this veiw. A doubt aris-
ees as to whether life isn't really more
than jobs-more than automobiles
even, and more than bank accounts.
What if the worker, by the ma
ture Of his work, is made a mere hu-
man automaton? And what if, hav-
ing done his work and earned his
pay, he doesn't know what to do with
his money or his leisure time? May
be economics is not concerned with
that problem, but surely philanthro
py is.
Henry Ford, though, to do him
credit, has never posed as a philan-
thropist. Whatever his shortcomings,
Ford seems to be honest. Where
fore he might assent to judgment
that pronounced his whole career,
with all it's incidental benefits to So
ciety, essentially selfish. The Ford
family works for the Ford family,
and the more it perfects manufactur-
ing processes and the better it pays
its standardized labor the more mon
ey it accumulates.
And that, too, may be all right. It
may be that highly efficient selfish
ness is what the world needs, at this
stage of development.-Greenville

Why Organizations Fail.

A Texas farmer, WflClIlS I dilH anu
Ranch, says: 81 have always been
among the first in my community to
join farmer cooperative associa-
tions. I believe in cooperation as the
only means of giving the consumers
survice which they demand and thus
obtain adequate prices for the things
produced. Cooperation should lower
the cost of marketing, but it has
been my experience that it does not
always work out that way. Notwith-
standing. past failures, | still favor
cooperative marketing, but | some
times fear that our apparent inabili-
ty to conduct our business economi-
cally will result in other failures and
halt the cooperative movement many
years. What can we farmers do to
make our marketing associations
success?"
Lack of personal interest in the
conduct of association affairs, blind
faith in leaders who sometimes find
the organization improbable to
themselves, if not to the rank and
file, and political steam-roller meth
DDS at annual conventions, are some
of the reasons organized effort
among farmers fail. These things
lead to extravaganza in number and
size of salaries and create top
heavy overhead. Sometimes, ambi-
ton on the part of officials leads to
attempts to develop the organiza-
tion's activities beyond the scope
originally intended, and failure re-
suits because support and strength
for proper maintenance is lacking.
Farmers can only make their CO.
operative associations a success by
adopting an approved plan of opera
ton, and then by exhibiting loyal
and active interest in association af-
fairs. Select members of the board of
directors on a basis of honesty and
ability and insure individual and col
lective interests by proper safe
guards in the constitution. If officials
prove to be incompetent or eXtrava-
CANT, replace them with others. Co
operative marketing associations can
not succeed if members refuse to
abide by their contracts, or if they
from the association If
affairs are not conducted properly. If
each member considered himself a
part of the organization and exer-
cised his right to know the source of
income and what it was used for; if
he attended the annual meeting, or
delegated someone to represent him;
if he actually co-operated with his
brother members in making the or
ganization success, there would be
fewer failures.
Competent and honest officials
make mistakes. They are not infalli-
BILE, but mistakes can be corrected.
Give such officials your encourage
ment and support. Don't give up the
ship.
One great trouble, in times past,
has been the Indifference of farmer
methods as to how their organization
was being conducted. They have let
it's affairs get into the hands of few
who have profted through misman--
agement, and when it finally "blew
up" remarked: "Just one more fail
ure to make cooperation pay"
"Co-operation'' means more than
signing the membership roll or put
ting your name to contract.-Farm
and Ranch.
