Hinckley. Pine County committee
man OF the Exchange.
Do you want more money for
your potato crop?
Of course you do. Here is a
plan, now sweeping Minnesota.
that has been tested and found
to meet the demands Of growers
in every particular.
Minnesota farmers approve of
it, once they understand the de-
tails. 1t is endorsed by bankers
and business men. Hundreds
have signed the contract. but
hundreds more must join if the
movement is to succeed.
1t is time for Minnesota potato
growers to get down to brass
lacks
You are not asked to buy
stock. You are not asked to en-
gage in some untried enterprise.
You are simply asked to contract
with your own organization to
be controlled and managed by
yourselves, to market your own
potatoes on a cooperative pooling
plan so as to get better prices
by orderly marketing and by
eliminating spectators and USE
less middle men who now eat up
your just profits.
What's Wrongl
Every potato grower knows
that the selling end of his bust
ness is sick. No matter how
successful producer he may be.
as a marketer under the present
system he has no opportunity
to make good on his labor and
capital investment. As a pro-
Queer the grower must remain
an individualist. AS a marketer,
the grower can hope for no sue
cess except through commodity,
cooperative selling. Competing
as he does with group distribu-
ton, group buying and group
finance, to survive he must also
organize for business along the
lines of group selling. AS long
as he remains an individual mar
keter the selling end of his bust
ness will continue sick.
The remedy for the disease is
cooperative commodity market
ing by the growers on a large
scale. 1t is a matter of common
knowledge that the amount of
money which the growers lose
because of speculative influences
runs into tremendously big fig
ures. Freight on unmarketable
potatoes runs into hundreds of
thousands of dollars every year.
A crop that is harvested in
two months and absorbed by the
consuming public in eight months
must be merchandised in an
orderly manner over that entire
period, if the grower is to obtain
his cost of production plus a
reasonable profit on his labor and
capital.
Distribution is now definitely
recognized as a part of produc-
ton. Unless the grower can
distribute profitably. there is no
inducement for him to produce.
By taking distribution into their
own hands, by eliminating many
useless and parasitical middlemen
the growers can absorb some of
the middleman's profits and make
production profitable.
Cooperative marketing asso-
Citations when organized on the
California plan. control the utili-
ties of time. place and form as
applied to farm products.
Potatoes produced at points of
production have no value until
they are distributed to points of
consumption. This involves the
utility of place. Potatoes har-
vested in two months have no
consumptive value until they are
stored and marketed over a

; FOURTH CRAFT SEIZED.

NOME, June 20.-lt is learned that sthea Olaf Swensons Gompany's s trading, schooner Blue. Sea has also been seized at East Cape charged with violation of the trade resula- tions. F.a sad
 a It is said the four vessels seized had liquor aboard for trading pur- poEes which is strictly forbidden.
 i. Tie officers of the Chukotsk and Arctic, which arrived after a vain attempt of trade off the, Siberian eqaat, said they believed their ves- sels would haze been seized if they had net left the Soviet waters.
 Pcrsons familiar with the Siber- ian trade here point out that Alex anders Kurieff. the manager for the Hudson Bay Company in Siberia, is .. lbrother. of Theodore Kulieff, of the Soviet Government in the Whal- en district. It k also understood that J. Costello, owner of the Be- linda, has been attempting to get 1000 fox skins out of Siberia where the Soviet government imposed an extremely high export duty on tho skins. e
 The seizure of the American reg iaterod craft is taken here as a So- yiet move to discourage American trade.
