When the buyer of your pro-
ducts tells you not to join the
cooperative association you have
found the very best reason for
joining.
A cooperative association
that is founded without locals in
every : community is doomed.
Farmers who do not read
good dairy paper do not know
whether they are milking for
pastime or profit.
If every farmer that joined

If you all get mad together
have your trouble settled be-
fore you leave the room. If it :.
is very serious, sleep over it and
then come at it again the next
day and you will be sure to get
right if you want to cooperate.

ment trouble within the organiza-
ton. Watch them very keenly
as they are far more dangerous
than the enemy without.
Never give the newspapers
or the public a bum steer. Be
right with them and you are go
ing to go right. Try and con-
: duct your business so that pub
lie sentiment will be with you.
Always hire the best of help.
Cheap help is very dear help in
the long run. A good man will
make his own salary over that of
the poor man every month of the
year. l.4 u
