LIVESTOCK MEN BAND

Livestock men in this section of
the state will welcome the new
Cooperative Livestock Association
which is now being organized.
This is a movement that should
have been launched long ago, but
coming now as it does on the
heels OF the wheat and cotton
growers cooperative organizations.
which already have proved their
worth, the livestock association
stands to jump into successful op-
Grafton from the start and be OF
much help to members in numerous
ways.
If the new stockmens organiza-
ton does nothing more than to es-
tablsh a cooperative commission
firm at the Oklahoma City stock
Yards. where the shippers can con-
sign their stock and be reassured
that they will get the real market
price and a square deal all around,
it will be worth while in a big
way. But the association plans to
go farther than that. 1t will serve
as a clearing house for all kinds Of
livestock information. twill strive
TO obtain the best possible railroad
service for the members, avoiding
a shortage of cars when the ship
pers need cars. 1t will take up the
claims of members against the
railroads and run them down. II
will watch the feeding and yardage
charges and see that these items
are fair. 1t will act as agent in
buying serums, vaccines, and other
things from manufacturers so that
members can get them at actual
cost. And it will do numerous
other things for its members.
Some of the best and best-known
Stockmen and business men in Ok
ahoma are behind the new organi-
zation. The movement deserves to
succeed. Better cooperation is
needed in the livestock industry in
the marketing end and all other
ends. The success OF the cooper
ative association will mean ad-
vancement of the industry in every
way. The same plan has been put
over in several other states--Iowa,
illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Ohio,
and others-and now Oklahoma Is
getting in line. We bespeak for the
livestock co-ops" solid success.
