SOCIETY URGED
I. B. JOHNSON TALKED AT
MADISON LAKE
CrAIMS LARGE BENEFIT
Another Meeting Will Be Held
October 9 For the Organ
ization Purpose

l. B. Johnson, assistant manager
OF the Central Co. operative COM
mission association Of South st.
Paul, spoke last night to large
number OF stock rakeGs and farmers
at Madison Lake last night on the
advantages of livestock shipping in
carload lots as compared with the
old way of selling the cattle to- a
livestock buyer. Mr.. Johnson dis
uussed with the livestock men
present pans for the organization,
and also the results OF CO. operative
marketing. Mr.. Johnson explained
that the Central Co. Operative Com
mission association is financed man
aged and controlled by the Livestock
Shippers association OF the north
west This organization sevres four
hundred associations at the present
time. These are located in Mime
sofa about one third OF South Dakota
a little over a year ago that the or
.ganization completed its first year,
Mr.. Johnson explained. During the
first year of it's existnece, the organ
ization operated and handled twenty
one out of every 100 cars OF live
stock on the South st. Paul market.
The farmers, Mr.. johnson said wish
to enlarge and increase the organ
ization. An effort will be made this
year to handle the bulk of the live
stock on the South St Paul market.
Through shipment OF livestock in
car lots where car lot rates were
secured, Mr.. Johnson stated that
there had been a SAVING in that line
alone of 1920, 900 in the handling of
shipments. Included in this were
lower commissions etc. These saw
ings are refunded to the livestock
shippers at the end of the season.
The net savings this year up TO Sep
TENDER amount to $4,000. At the
end of the year in December this is
expected to 60 beyond 100000 and
all belongs to the shippers.
Mr.. Johnson explained that the
savings mentioned are comparatively
small as compared with the great
benefits to be derived from the con-
trolling factor Of the market? there
by helping TO regulate the ship
ments Of livestock to the market and
In a way bring about more orderly
marketing and less fluctuations in
price.
Mr.. Johnson was introduced to the
Madison lake audience by County
Agent L. E. Mcmillan. HIS talk
was listened to with interest, but no
organization was perfected. There
will be another meeting October 9,
