COOPERATION THAT PAYS

The word cooperation is becom-

frequently. But--so far no other wof!

Cooperation is the dominant move

Business men are cooperating in a
way never dreamed Of few yeais
Men engaged in competitave
lines of industry are cooperating
fully, and are finding that it increases
business. The STANDARD of service is
being raised by this better cooperation
among industrial leaders,
Farmers and business men have
many opportunities to cooperate. 1t
is of mutual benefit to each of them.
Indications on ths horizon of progress
point very clearly to b!sse7 ami
better cooperation between business
and agriculture. 1t is coming.
The old and foolish idea thi' there
Is a great barrier between the farmer
and the business man is fast disap-

business men haze many t3iLgs in

ing the period of depression We have
just passed. The success Of all busi-
ness enterprises is so closely inter
related TO the agricultural prosperity
of our nation that it is righ, to as
sumo that neither can prosper inde-
pendent of the o.Ler.
Business men and farmers can co.
operate throdgh the existinS organi-
zations now COY ering the field. No
new organization need be started
Business men have years OF experi-
ence in organizations behind them.
They should be willing to offer lead
