Essentials to success in COM
modify cooperative marketing,
under the California plan were
explained to six large audiences
of Minnesota farmers by Aaron
Sapiro, nationally known author
ity on the subject, in a trip
through the potato growing Sec
tions of the state last week.
He spoke at Crookston, Moor
head. Brainerd, Detroit, Sank
Center, and Princeton to gather
ings that averaged more than
500.
At most stops he also addressed
business men, before whom he
stressed the Importance of town
and country working together to
solve the economic problem in
which agriculture, particularly
the potato industry, finds itself.
MI. Sapiro's trip, made under
the joint auspices of the Mime
sofa Farm Bureau Federation
and the general state committee
that is perfecting the new Mime
sofa Potato Growers Exchange,
was for the purpose of explaining
to farmers, methods that Cali
fornia is using in its world
famous cooperative efforts.

themselves r convinced that they
can. They estimate that there are
TEN OF thousands OF whales In the
seas, and at present the various whal-
ing stations have been able to catch
all the whales they need without going
more than two hundred miles up and
down the coast and out to sea. Each
station has undoubtedly already taken
more whales than would be natural
residents of the waters In which they
operate. hence the losses In that area
can only be made up by other whales
swimming In from other parts Of the
sea.

be aimed right; hat it must be
set out to remedy the one big
defect in the present marketing
plan. 1t must stop individual
dumping, he said, and substitute
therefor. a plan of merchandise
ing a crop, selling it just fast
enough to meet the consumptive
demand. Without provision for
r~emedying the dumping evil" he
said, cooperative marketing can
not succeed as it should"
Mr.. Sapiro said that growers,
once started on the right track
toward a solution of their potato
marketing problem, had to follow
a certain technique. They must
grade their potatoes, put them
in packages that will be accept
able to the buyer, take precau-
tions to expand their market as
much as possible, provide for
orderly marketing, operate on a
long time contract which includes
a penalty and then base their
operations on supply at the
point of demand, rather than at
the point of production. But
even then, he said, there was a
third step; the agency must be
handled by experts in the bust
ness of selling potatoes.
Travelling with Mr.. Sapiro
was j. F. Reed, president of the
Minnesota Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, S. G. Rubinow, campaign
manager, Edward Barr. secretary
of the organization committee,
Marius Waldal of Plummer, men,
Der of the executive committee,
Dan Wallace, Editor of The Far
mer and others.
Developments indicating the
success of the campaign were
daily events during the trip.
After the meeting at Crookston,
business men of that section
started a movement to close
every store in Polk county for
one or two days to help sign up
the necessary acreage. Business
men at Fargo, impressed by a
special address of Mr.. Sapiro,
were keyed to a point where a
campaign in their state similar
to that in Minnesota seems a
certainty. At Detroit. bankers
and business men pledged 500 to
the organization, to be used, if
needed, to assure organization
work.
In several addresses, Mr.. Sapi-
no condemned price fixing and
other suggestions for government
aid in the present situation as
wholly unsound, impossible of
realization and incapable of af-
fecting a permanent cure. He
cited the experiences of Califor-
MIA raisin growers as evidence to
support his contention. That CO.
operative was all but wrecked
early this year, because of a A.
cent a pound guarantee clause
