Cooperative Marketing

Agriculture produces enough to
feed the people the year around but
some Of this production should be
stored to eliminate the over supply al
the times of harvest or during periods
OF high production. It can then be
thrown upon the market in accord
ance with consumptive demands.
Cooperative marketing Is still in its
infancy. In a few localities where
farmers have been properly organ.

adequate facilities to store their prod

OF both producer and consumer.

market their products. 1t ia extremely

SOME HARD FACTS +
ABOUT SOFT MONEY
BY JOHN LAKEWOOD

When a farmer takes his produc
to market and sells 1t for, say, dol
lar bushel, he is dependent upon thu
honesty of two measures-the dollar
and the bushe1.
The other day crossroads store
keeper got sent to Jail for manipu
lating a trick bushel basket with q
false bottom that would slide up and
down in a way that was grand, gloomy
and mysterious. When using 1t to
measure stuff he bought from farm
er, he'd secretly shove the bottom
down until 1t held at least a bushel
and a quarter, but he would only
credit him with bushel The buying
power Of the farmers product-~was
thereby deprecated by about twenty
per cent.
Finally the farmers whereabouts got
wise to the fact that the only way
they could get what was coming to
them was to enforce reliable stand
ard of measurement. So they put
good stiff jail penalty on using
fake measure, laid for that store
keeper with the trick basket and sent
him to prison.
Politicians in Europe have been
manipulating the other measure-the
money measure-in much the same
way. Some Of them in America want
to tamper likewise with the dollar.
Here Is about the way 1t would work
out. Suppose, when the farmer
brought his product to market, the
basket measure was honest enough
and ., he got a dollar bill for each
busheL He'd take his dollars home
and save them. Perhaps he planned
to buy some land next his own for
thousand dollars, and figured that In
a year or so he could make 1t.
But meanwhile the politicians start |
to manipulate the base Of the cur
rency. They would change 1t from the
gold standard to a II a money plan
from a gold guarantee to the mere
say-so of the government that piece
If paper was worth a dollar. The
armer wouldn't be watching the
politicians. He would be too
busy raising things. At the end of
he year he has his thousand dollars.
10 toll 60 10 nd |
ays, "I'll buy your land now-here's
. thousand dollars"
But the landowner would say, THAT
s paper money-.my land is worth
ne thousand dollars gold-the gov I
rnment has printed 50 much paper
loney folks haven't much confidence
, 1t. But | am willing to take a
nance II you will give me a dollar
nd q quarter in paper money for
ach gold dollars value of my land
, other words, I'll give you my land
,r $3.50 dollars paper"
Soft money would be only another
ay for the money politicians to hand
le farmer the same dirty deal as the
asket manipulation. In the first case
e farmer unknowingly gave bushel
Id quarter Of his product, and in
e second case he would have to give
dollar and q quarter Of his money,
r dollars value in return.
In Germany they have carried the
of the mark so far
I'll, 1t seems hardly believable, but
they did the same thing to the dol
:, it would take over ten million in
per money to buy that land. The
imary producer can raise his prices,
t not fast enough to equalize this
op In the gold value of unsound
'ney. That IL where the catch
mes in.

Russia, however, seems likely to
