weeks ration of grain in one day, your
horse would not amount to much.
When you feed your markets their
whole years supply of grain in sixty
days, the markets don't amount to
ruch either. Neither of them can
successfully absorb an over-supply.
At the grocery store you pay about
the same price for a can of beans all
the year around. You pay about the
same price for farm implements no
matter what time of the year you buy.
The reason, as you know, is that the
manufacture of these articles is regu-
lated so as to fill the demand, and
the manufacturers don't flood their
markets at any time.
An independent farmer, Of course
cannot regulate the supply of wheat
or beets the wav- shoe -manufactur-
err can regulate the number of shoes
that are manufactured. But he can
estimate the demand for his products
in Just the same way, and when he is
selling collectively with other farmers
he can see to it that the markets are
not over-supplied. In other words, he
can see to it that the prices are not
forced down.
The law of supply and demand will
make money for anybody. The farm
er always can sell advantageously
when the market needs grain. But
what is he going to do when the de-
mand comes after he has knocked the
bottom out of the prices by dumping
all his grain in the fall?
The farmer who dumps his grain
has no more excuse to complain of the
prices than the wife who chased her
husband out of the house with roll
ing pin and then cried because he did
not kiss her goodbye.
There are several results that are
accomplished through cooperative
marketing: such as stabilizing the
market. cutting down handling expen-
ses, and eliminating speculation. But
cooperative marketing itself means
only one thing-orderly marketing.
One-twelfth of your grain each month
Of the year.

What is cooperative marketing?
Almost everyone seems to be able
to give some sort of a reply to this
question these days. 1t is almost as
easy to answer as the question, "Will
Ford run for PRESIDENT"
And the answers show something of
the same variety.
Some see cooperative marketing as
a hold-up staged by the farmer to
force exorbitant prices for his pro-
ducts. Others think that the move is
plan to squeeze out the middle-man.
Still others label it a new political
move and let it 60 at that.
The truth of the matter is that CO.
operative marketing is none of these
things. 1t is neither fad, a politi-
cal move nor an experiment. There
is nothing new about it, because in
almost every other business but farm
ing it has been in operation for one
hundred years. It is merely another
name for modern business methods in
marketing.
Cooperative marketing has only one
object-the orderly marketing of pro
ducts; the selling of one-twelfth of
the yearly supply each month of the
year. There is no other definition.
When farmer joins in cooperat-
i've marketing agreement, he is only
binding himself to sell in an orderly
manner. Instead of rushing his wheat
or beets or potatoes to market as soon
as he gets them harvested. and at the
same time that all the other farmers
are rushing their things to market, he
agrees to feed the market little at a
time.
If you fed your horse his whole

wanted to find out how much time
they spent in the laundry. preparing

cleaning. She counted steps by means
of a speedometer and a tape measure,
and secured some mighty interesting
and helpful statistics about waste
time and labor. For example, one
experiment proved that a house
keeper in a poorly arranged kitch-
en- walked 105 needless miles
each year while preparing three meals
a day. Here Is how the experiment
was made. The kitchen was Is feet

cake. She travelled 32l Il feet in clear

need Of retracing steps. In pre-
pairing the same cake under the new
arrangement the cook travelled 62h
feet and only 20 feet in clearing up.
II you figure on five dishes for each
meal. the rearrangement saved over
$4,000 feet or nearly three miles q
