town and majority Of the votes cast
favored incorporation. The purpose Of
Incorporation then was not primarily -
assist in affairs Of government, but was
necessary before the Creekmore build

tion any further No officers were svse

Growth of Movement
Two years ago there We're no large
tobacco co-operatives This year the
tobacco co-operatives will probably han.
die at least two thirds Of the American
crop.
There We're no cotton co-operatives
two years ago. This year 10 state or
ganizations, and the national overhead
organization, the American Cotton
Growers Exchange, are operating,
Three more state organizations are be-
ing organized and a tremendous volume
of business handled.
Nearly dozen state wheat organiza,
tions and their overhead sales agencies
are successfully functioning, where a
few years ago there were none.
''All these in addition TO al lsorts Of
co.operatives for the handling Of other
farm products.
Benefits All
Not only has the producer benefited
by letter prices wherever his product
has been handled comparatively, but
the consumer has been likewise bene-
fitted by better and more uniform pro-
duct, at better prices"
, One big weakness in the cooper
ative movement to date, Morgan says,
was the fact that 1t had no national
voice. There is nobody, he points out,
/ through which the separate co-operat'
lives could cooperate in a national way
