MARKE TING | n
FUTURE BRIGHT
BY C. N. MORGAN

Arizona should have been and now
should be one of the foremost states
in the union in the progress made
in the cooperative marketing of
agricultural commodities. Lying as it
does next to the state of California,
where this form of business organ
ization of farmers has had its best
eXemplification, it would seem to
have been the logical thing that great
development along this line should
have taken place in this state.
Yet the fact is that until within
the past year there has never been
a cooperative marketing associa-
tion of farmers in Arizona that had
as a foundation the recognized and
vital principles of success in coop
erative marketing and in consequence
there has never been, until this year
any marketing organization of farm
ers in the state that has achieved
marked success.
1t Is true that there have been or
ganiZations of farmers that did mar
ket with considerable success in a
limited way and for limited Pc
riod, but that was largely matter
of personnel and not OF principle.
In favorable times, while the organi-
zations were working under the best
of conditions, and getting the best
of results, the membership stood by
and much good was done.
But the moment everything ceased
to run along in a fine manner the
membership fell away with its prod
ucts and the organizations ceased
or almost ceased to function for the

Market Possibilities
To anyone not a close student
of the consummation of fruits and
vegetables shipped from the western
farms to eastern consumers the to-
tai business created reaches such
stupendous figures as to appear al
most. unbelievable. AS a matter Of
fact the immensity of the movement
of these commodities from Califor-
nit to the eastern markets is the pes
simists' strongest argument against
the introduction of these commodi-
ties on large scale In Arizona, not
withstanding the fact that soil. cli-
matte conditions and shipping fa-
cilities are at least equal for all the
products and better for many.
During the past decade records
show that quantity movement has
increased over ten fold. 1t is to be
borne in mind that owing to the far
vorable climatic conditions at point
of shipment this entire movement
of the various commodities reaches
the eastern consumer at the time
when his home grower cannot fur
nish him with what he needs,
| venture the opinion that no man
will be bold enough to suggest that

simple reason that they were not
firmly bound together.
The Principles of Success
Let US then examine the principles
that make for success in organiza-
tions of farmers for cooperative
marketing, for they are few in num-
Der and easily understood.
First, no organization can be sue
cessful in marketing that is not
founded and run on the basis of
commodity and not of community.
long time ago the idea was eXplod-
ed that a little local organization to
market almost anything could or
would be a success.
To market cotton. cotton experts
must be employed; to market dairy
products we must have experts In
that line, and so it goes.
The problems Of marketing and OF
financing the marketing of each agri-
cultural product are separate and
almost unrelated. The community
idea has been tried out in so many
instances that it should no longer
be even considered, for it has always
failed. and what has always failed
will probably continue to fail.
Second, the commodity organia-
ton must have volume of business.
without volume the overhead eX-
pense is too great to be justifiable,
and the results attained will be un-
satisfactory.
Collective Selling
Third, the producers must be firm
ly bound together by an enforceable
contract, otherwise it is not possible
to make arrangements in advance
for either financing or selling on an
intelligent basis. The old idea that
| the time to sell should be left to the
! individual has also been exploded,
| for one of the foundation stones OF
success in marketing is the subordi-
nation Of the individual initiative In
selling to the collective judgment OF
| the group.
Fourth, the commodity to be mar
keted must be handled on the pool
basis, the pools to be based on quail
ity and not quantity, each member
securing settlement on the basis OF
the average received per quantity
and quality. Otherwise there Is nc
incentive for the production Of quail
ity products, one of the biggest serv-
ices of the cooperative sales move
ment.
There are certain problems and
Arizona republican., 1922-01-01

certain services needed that are COM
mon to all co-operatives, whatever
they handle, and it is to be hoped
that when several such organiza-
tions are organized and functioning
in the salt River valley, that GER
tain relations may be worked out
between the organizations that VIII
make II possible to co-relate certain
of their activities, but the fundament-
al principles of commodity market
ing must not be sacrificed in mai"
ing this effort.
Starting Time at Hand
Everything points to the fact that
the time is ripe for the founding OF
successful co-operatives in the state
of Arizona TO handle the sales of
many Of our agricultural products,
and il carefully and properly organ
lied and carefully run i'm business
like manner, there IS no doubt Of
their success. That the idCN may De
successfully applied under Arizona
conditions has been demonstrated D.
the Arizona Pimacotton Growers. the
first successful cooperative found
ed upon and operated along the lines
of proved success in this business.
Through the efforts OF the found
ers of this organization, the legal
groundwork has been done In the
passage by the last legislature of the
cooperative marketing act. which
makes possible the organization on
correct principles and correct prin-
ciples only, of co-operatives to han
die the sale of any agricultural com
modify. The law is on the statute
books. the successful example is be-
fore the eyes Of the producers, and
there is apparently nothing In the
way of the organization of number
Of o-operatives to handle the va
rious products.
In addition to this we now have
| in Arizona a strong and we'll organ
ized Farm Bureau federation. which
is in position TO act as the parent OF
these much needed co-operatives,
helping TO work out the preliminary
details, carrying through to success
the organization compaigns, and then
placing the new organizations on their
feet and telling them to 'go to It.
The Texas Farm Bureau federation
has done this for the cotton growers.

ducers and other farm product pro-

of the department of agriculture in
washington, d. c., shows that dur
ing this season car lot shipments
were made to as states and to 253
cities: in addition, car lot shipments
were made to Canadian cities and
to Havana, Cuba.
In round figures there were $4,000
carloads of cantaloupes during the
season Of 1921, shipped from Arizo-
ma, California and New Mexico, pro-
duced on irrigated lands. represent
ing a sales value of $20,000,OOO, and
Approximately twice this amount was
paid by the actual consumer.
Head Lettuce
Head lettuce made its first an
pearance on a commercial scale IN
the fall Of 1914 and was established
on a larger scale in 1916. In fact,
this may be said to mark the real
starting point of the industry in this
valley. The wonderful quality of the
lettuce produced in Arizona woke up
the Imperial valley growers to their
opportunity in the same commodlty
and they quickly responded with an
immense acreage-12,0 900 acres Tor
the present season alone.
Lettuce produced within the salt
River valley has been OF such UNI
form good quality that eastern puy-.
ers pay top market prices at all
times for the Arizona product.
Gross sales for lettuce grown in
the Salt River valley for the four
years ending with the 1920 season
amounted to 100000 from an an
nual average acreage of 1900 acres,
or approximately $3.50 per acre.
1t is a noteworthy fact that prac-
tically the whole of this was pro-
duced on land previously used for
cantaloupes or, in other words. rep
resents double cropping the land the
same year and represents the Gre
alton of business amounting TO near

Deciduous Fruits

of such .deciduous fruits as apricots,
plums and grapes 1t is extremely
gratifying to learn that the state ex-
perinental farms, after tests made
! over period of years, are now able
to give the grower reliable informa :
tion as TO the varieties best adapted

ture, more particularly as to grape

Truck farming, as referring 10
eastern practice, usually applies TO
small acreages intensively cultivated,
whereas in the west and southwest
this type of farming applies equally
to the smallest farm as to the farm
of 1000 acres and upwards.
The Salt River valley is composed
of alluvial sedimentary deposits
formed through ages by the dislnte-
grafton and transmission OF timely
divided rock particles and earth from
the surrounding mountains, and as
a result, deep soils, rich In plant
foods, everywhere abound.
Generally speaking, climatic con-
ditions can be expressed by the NUM-
Der of growing days per annum, but
TO apply this method Of reckoning to
the Salt River valley would be mis-
take. 1t is a we'll known law Of ma
ture that all plant life has dormant
period before reproduction takes
place. This applies equally here as
elsewhere. But 1t is a common sight
to see dormant plants, matured
plants, plants approaching maturity
and seeds propagating in the coun-
try at the same time, each plant be-
ing governed, of course, by Its va
riety and climate required to bring
about natural results. 1t is a per
fectly truthful statement to say that
there are 800 plus growing days in
the valley and equally truthful to
say that there is no period during
the entire year when some CONNER
cial agricultural crop cannot be sue
cessfully grown.
The term intensive farming as used
in this article applies more particu
uarly to the culture of such crops as
melons. cantaloupes, head lettuce. de-
ciduous fruits and similar products
CantaIoupes
Successful commercial growing oi
cantaloupes was introduced here
shortly after the completion of the
Roosevelt dam and has reached quite
respectable proportions as a creator
of business.
TIE five year period ending Au'
gust. 1921. shows that gross sales
amounted to $10,0o0.000, an average
of $4,000, 900 per ,annum, from an ay'
erage annual acreage OF approx
mately $500 acres equaling nearly
$500 of business wealth produced
from each acre of land from this one
crop annually.
The growth OF the cantaloupe In.
dustry throughout the west durint
the past decade is one of the re-
narkable results obtained through
reclamation. Ten years. ago ther'
were less than 20 cities in the Unit
ed States that could dispose of can
taloupes in car lots. A report on th'
1921 seasons cantaloupe distribution

eastern American cities have yet
reached the point of saturation as
regards either population or consum-
ing possibilities. Rather, is it not
more probable that the next ten
years . 4 witness even greater con-
sumption of these commodities than
did the last decade?
Arizona is too greatly blessed with
fertile soil. sunshine and water to
long remain ignorant of the oppcr-
tunities that our sister state Of Cal
ifornia has so advantageously
grasped.
