EVERY ONE SEEMS
READY TO HELP
FARMER COOP

Washington, D. c. Dec. 16.-Suc-
cessful establishment and efficient
conduct of associations for co-operat-
i've marketing of major farm crops
will put the members of such assoc
iations where they can utilize the
crops as market needs demand and
bring about far greater sterilization
of prices, Secretary Wallace of the
department of agriculture told the
National Council of Farmers Co
operative Marketing Associations
here today.
The secretary said: eve in the
department regard marketing as an
essential part of production Effici-
ency in marketing is just as import
ant as efficiency in production"
Better days through intensive de-
velopment of foreign outlets, aided
by more effective selling methods,
were predicted by DR.. Julius, direct
Or of the bureau of foreign and do
mestic commerce, who spoke for
Secretary Hoover, He expressed the
opinion that commodity cooperative
organizations Offered the medium.
The department of commerce, he
said, in it's official trade promoting
capacity, welcomed any bona fide COM
mercial agency which had for its pur-
pose the better conduct of business
and increased sales of American pro-
ducts, in this country or abroad.
President Harding, in a letter read
to the session, declared he knew of
"no single movement that promises
more help towards present relief and
permanent betterment of agricultur-
al conditions" than the cooperative
organization of farmers to market
their products.
SIN the, long run," said the Presi-
dents letter, government aid cannot
be made effective unless, the farmers
shall be organized and alive to their
own responsibility to establish practi-
cal instruments for the distribution of
credits and economical marketing
methods. This association stands for
the most intelligent movement to-
ward such methods. l feel that this
meeting is Of unusual Importance,
and l wish you would convey this ex-
preston in the most emphatic terms"
Aaron Saprio of San Francisco, gen.
eral counsel, of the Cooperative mark
citing asi0. said that cooperative mark
citing of the wheat crop had not pro-
gressed far, but that the cooperative
system was capable of successful ex-
tension to every farm commodity. He
suggested action by the conference
recommending legislation for extend
;ng rural credits longer than six
months.
