potatoes, but buy less suitable and
more expensive foods. There are
districts in the South where they
use too much tat meat~Hnd too little
of white potatoes. A central sales
department could conduct advertis-
ing campaigns to increase potato
consumption in such areas. Prac-
tically all OF the products that are
now marketed comparatively have
such activities to increase consump-
ton. 1t used to be that people
bought raisins only at holiday time.
Now they use them throughout the
year. In England they consumed
about five million pounds of raisins
few years ago, and the Sunmaid
Raisin Growers Association of
Fresno, California, conducted an ad-
vertising campaign that increased
the sales from five million to thirty
million pounds. A similar effort in
behalf of prpnes in the United States
increased prune consumption from
AZ million to 40 million in three
years. Similar increases have been
made in other products and some
day, somebody is going to take up
the potato and increase its consump-
ton. The Maine Potato Growers

are organized as are several other
eastern states, and they are1working
onsthe problems of grading, packing
and shipping to capture the eastern
markets as was done by the Cali
fornia egg producers. Several states
in the Mississippi valley are organic
ing now, and Utah, Colorado, and
California are organizing. Perhaps
Idaho will organize and join the In
termountain group, and each group
will sell thru one central office. BY
dividing the territory among the
three or four groups of states, it
will be possible to study for control
of production, control of quality,
control of grading, packing, label
ing, shipping and distribution, and
when we have done those things we
shall have gone long stride towards
putting the potato industry on
sound, permanent basis.
In order to make this plan sue
cess it will be necessary to organize
the major portion of the producers,
SO that those who hang out and sell
individually will not be able to sup
ply the market and dominate the
field. They will be Offering their

locality or territory. If they or
ganize the commodity or on the
commodity plan, one certain commo
dity or two related commodities ant
disregard all other commodities
then it comes within the commodity
plan and under the principles in
volved in the Danish creation thai
has stood the test of half century
and raised the Danish farmers from
practically all tenant farmers tc
practically all -proprietors Of the
lands they farm.
Every group that organizes merely
localities and disregards the COM
modify outside of their localities is
headed for failure and sooner or
later is listed with the twenty thou
sand cooperative failures now re-
corded. The way to succeed is to
organize the majority of a commo-
dity, regardless of where it is pro-
duced, and move it to the consumers
gradually as they want it, and also
to grade, pack, label and distribute
the product so it will not glut any
market and break the price. 1t is
not question of holding people up
to get a good price out of the con-
sumers, but a question of moving
the goods in right condition at the
right time and to the right place.
That is merchandising, and consists
of doing six definite things in sane
and serviceable manner.
The unorganized producers always
dump their product on the market
and break the price. The coopera-
tive associations working on the
Rochelle plan defeat their own pur-
pose by dumping their product rather
than merchandising it. To make it
clear, dumping is the process wit
messed in marketing potatoes last
fall when every grower hurried to
dig and sell his potatoes to get rid
of them before the market broke.
Every grower was dumping his pro-
duct in competition with all other
growers. AS the dealers got stocked
up with potatoes in warehouses and
cars they began to hurry to unload
before the market broke, and there
was the spectacle of all the buyers
dumping their holdings against all
the other buyers. They rushed their
cars and trains into the distributing !
centers and supplied all demands and
began trying to force their goods
upon the dealers, and they in self
defense, refused to buy at all, and !
The cars stood on the tracks as good !
potatoes as ever but commanding no
value, all due to the dumping pro-
cess. The producers were trying to
get the consumers to absorb years
supply in a few weeks instead of
spreading delivery over period of
light and a half months between the
ime the potato harvest starts until
people quit using old potatoes in
he following spring.
The definition OF merchandising
s that the producers gather informa
ion as to the amount produced, and
he amount it is possible to consume.
hey determine the amount that can
e consumed by each city or locality,
nd move that amount Of the product

ON FARM MARKETING

to preserve, to protect and spread
benefits and security with the least
damage possible in the change.
When the alfalfa growers down
along the Aberdeen branch wrote
him two or three years ago that they
wanted to organize to grow pure
Grimm alfalfa seed and keep it from
being mixed with any other kind, and
to grade, pack, deliver and guaran-
tee it to the farmer purchaser so he
would absolutely know that 1t was
pure Grimm seed, and make 1t I'M
possible for any grating dealer to
tamper with it to the injury of
either the consumers or the pro-
ducers, Sapiro responded and made
an engagement to come to Black
foot and meet with them. That was
right in his line-it was constructive
work, and when Manager H. L. Ken
nedy was showing him the books
and the increased volume of bust
ness arising from satisfied custom
ers and honest advertising and
honest delivery Of goods, Sapiro was
all smiles and acted like he wanted
to stay and help run the business.
Sapiro was an orphen boy and
grew up in an orphans home in San
Francisco. He got his share of hard
knocks, and he got a good educa-
ton, including course in law. He
has been all over the United States
organizing the cotton growers, the
tobacco growers, the milk producers,
the raisin growers, the walnut grow
ers, the potato growers, and all told,
has twenty-five kinds of farm pro-
ducts being successfully marketed |
on the cooperative plan in California
alone. His sphere of influence in
cludes hens as well as farmers, and
one of his organizations has 1900, 900
White Leghorn hens laying eggs, as
he says, under contract. That is,

Sapiro's Address
Mr.. Sapiro began his address by
saying that there were two kinds of
cooperative marketing, one kind for
the consumers and the other kind or
type of organization for the produc-
ers. One originated and developed
til vr1iv q
country, and is known as the
Rochelle system, developed along
the lines to meet the needs of a
consuming public. The other is the
Danish system, originated and de-
veloped in Denmark along lines that
meet the needs Of producers who are
not also the consumers of their own
product, and Is known as the COM
modify plan. Most of the coopera
tive organizations that have been
launched in American have been of
the Rochelle type, and have failed,
because they were designed for a
different set of conditions. They
organize by localities and federate
their locals and seek to engage in
the mercantile business in competi-
ton with firms already established.
II it is handling something that is
shipped in sacks, they seek to buy
their own sacks and save trifie
in the purchase price in comparison
with what they pay when they buy
Of other dealers. They seek to save|
4 trifle on Irvine or boxes or cartons
Or whatever they pack or ship their
products in, and in various ways
hey come in conflict with other
dealers and do not make large saw
ngs in anything or greatly increase
he efficiency of the service. The
let result is injury to somebody
without doing very much good to
themselves. The way to detect whe-
hen an organization is operating on
he Rochelle plan it to notice whether
t merely organizes locality

PUT THEM TO WORK

The gospel of work is being neg
Iected today. Mother and father are
working about as hard as ever, but
the young people are loafing as never
before.
Put them to work.
The mother who allows her daugh-
ter to dwadle her time away, to think
of nothing but dress and fashion, to
play the piano and use the family
automobile when she should be wash
ing dishes and helping to make the
beds and performing other useful
tasks about the house is neglecting
her duty. The girl who grows to wo-
manhood without a knowledge OF
household management is not cred
it to her mother. Her mother has
been remiss.
The father who allows his son to
grow up loafer is not good citizen.
He should take enough interest in his
family to see that the boy is brought
up familiar with work. Not dainty
sobs alone, but good old-fashioned
Jobs like cleaning out the cellar, hand
ling the ashes and bringing UP the
coal. It won't hunt him. He can
wear gloves if he is afraid of running
his banjo hands. He can wear a
skull cap so as rot to ruffle his pat
ent leather hair. And the work will
build up his physique just as efficient
Nv as the gym and the base ball dia-
mond.
Put them to work.
And working will fit them for life.
Many of the young folk growing up
today have never looked a job of real
work in the eyes. They look upon
work as something to dread, some
thing to look forward to with fear and
trembling, something to be avoided
and skulked as long as possible.
Put them to work nowl
Put them to work early. Honest
work never hurt anyone yet. Give
them plenty of playtime, but famil-
iarize them with some form of work.
Then, when they come to shift for
themselves they won't be astonished
and hurt because they are expected
to toll.
