COOPERATIVE MARKETING
(Contributed)


Cooperative marketing few years
ago was considered joke in this
community. It is true that in its
first inception with its crude methods
and inexperienced help, many costly
mistakes were made. 1t has taken
year to develop this system, the un-
derlying principle of which is sound,
and with improved methods as the re-
suit of experience, it has come to be
recognized as the scientific way of
marketing farm products. California
has demonstrated it's worth; the apple
growers of the Northwest are rapidly
turning to it; the wheat growers have
adopted it and scored marked sue
cess their first year; the United States
government has recognized its worth
and expressed its approval by passing
favorable legislation. 1t is no longer
considered joke. So popular has it
become that there are already num-
Der of counterfeits appealing for sup
port under its banner. Even the dis
credited consignment houses in some
cases are posing as cooperative insti-
tutions.
In short cooperative marketing
simply means square deal between
producer and consumer; the distribu-
ton of the products to the markets
where needed; the elimination Of a
glut in one market and famine in
another; an honest article at an hon.
est price. 1t is rapidly growing in
popularity with the honest producer
and the honest dealer. 1t is eliminat-
ing the shyster at both ends of the
line.
Success is the strongest argument
in its favor. By uniting the growers
can work out their common problems,
such. as the best methods Of growing
and handling; the buying of orchard
supplies at right prices; the financing
of growing operations; correcting the
Transportation injustices; securing
needed legislation, and last but not
least the marketing of his crop as
surfing him of the average market
price without any worry on his part
as to who is going to buy his product
or if he will get his money.
Every well informed fruit grower
now realizes the stability of the indus
try depends upon cooperative mar
koCln&. IL Is lO lOuScI duu cApSIi-
ment. 1t is proven success and its
full benefits will be realized when all
the growers get together and truly CO.
operate.
The Big Y is the pioneer co-opera-
tive organization. It's success demon
strates the effectiveness Of this sys-
tenn. It's organization twelve years
ago ushered in new era for the fruit
grower. Its first years Of existance
were ones of trials and disappoint-
ments, but is persevered and in
creasing success has marked its OPP
erations from year to year until now
it is recognized as the most success
full marketing organization in the Yak
ina valley. 1t is ever alert to take
advantage of any Improvement that
presents itself. It has builded its
own warehouses and is now browning
its efforts by the erection Of much
needed modern cold storage plant. Be-
ing composed of active growers only,
its entire energy is used to serve the
interests of the growers. 1t is fulfill
ing its mission.

THE REASON WHY

NEWSPAPERS all over the West
N are taking congress severely to
task for its failure to pass the Smith
McNary reclamation bill. 81
AS yet no definite explanation as
to why the bill is being held up has
come out of Washington and newspa-
pers are putting their own interpre-
tation on the delay. Washington news
dispatches say that Congressman Mon
dell, chairman of the house steering
committee is blocking. it but nobody
yet has told the public just why Mon
dell takes the stand he does.
The Seattle Times believes the de-
lay is due to the fact that congress is
under the domination of the farm bloc
which nj turn is controlled by farmers
of the Middle West. The Yakima Re-
public thinks the bill has been jepord-
lied by friction that has developed be-
tween proponents of the Columbia Ba-
sin and the Colorado River projects.
The majority opinion, however, is
that the ghost of the fall elections is
stalking through the house and con-
gressmen are afraid of their jobs. In
this connection the Ellensburg Daily
Record says:
'The excuses made by congress get
them nowhere. Everybody under
stands the cause of their inaction. The
members are facing election, and they
are not ready for it. The session has
been wasted in futile attempts to
evade or shift responsibility, in order
to create political capital on which
the members might go before their
constituencies and ask for reelection.
But the very methods pursued have
only increased the disapproval of the
voters; had prompt business : like
methods been carried out the people
would have been glad to give their
approval. If members are defeated
in the fall election they have them
selves to thank for it."
