ficulties. The drop in prices in
1921. particularly on farm pro-
ducts. according to an investiga-
tion made by the Danish au-
thority, Mr.. Harald Faber. caused
the net profit Of the farmer Of
Denmark TO shrink from SO per
cent to 1.2 per cent. II il had
not been for the cooperative
assistance he would undoubtedly
have been financially Frustrated.
One Of the most unique re-
suits Of the cooperative spirit Of
these farms is they have become
almost directly independent Of
the hazardous speculative meth
DDS Of city banking. Denmark
has had perhaps the largest
bank failure in proportion to the
size of its population in modern
times due, so I was told, to specu-
lation on the part of some Of
those in control. The Landmarks
Bank failed with a loss Of eighty
to one hundred million dollars.
Comparing the population Of
Denmark with 3.2s3.000 persons.
10 that Of the United States with
110.000.000 persons. the lose
would be equivalent to the whole
banking system Of New York and
Chicago going into bankruptcy.
Despite this situation and the
fall in the price Of farm products.
according to the latest figures
obtainable, the Danish farmer
still is able to show a profit.
What more can be said for the
practical effect Of a movement
that was produced by farmers
because of economic pressure
through a spiritual appeal to an
enlightened peasantry7

practical value he got from carry
ing on such intensive bookkeep-
ing. the farmer replied that IL
not only advised him as to when
and how to keep out Of the debt
column. but also that it was Of
great utility in determining how
much he should be taxed. The
assessors were accustomed to
make their estimates on the
showing from these farmers
accounts.
The small farms of Denmark
number 10000 with total Of
one million three hundred thou
sand acres. Thus they contain
less than 24A acres each. The
second class with $1,000 farms
covers six million two hundred
thousand acres with an average
size Of less than lat acres. Only
5000 farms with total acreage
of 100000 acres are above 147
acres in size.
found that many Of the far
mers were members of many
different co-operatives. One so
ciety handled their eggs, another
bacon and still another their
dairy products. On the other
hand, they belonged to any num-
Der of buying co-operatives. II
occurred to me that the farmer
would spend too much of his
time attending cooperative
meetings. Also the thought sug'
gested itself that the various
selling co-operatives could with q
saving be brought together under
one head and like scheme could
be fashioned for handling the
purchases of necessaries for the
farms.
| But the experience of the
Danish co-operatives was against
me. First of all they delegate
a great deal of work TO their
representatives. They agreed
that theoretically by such con.
solidation one could save time
but in the practical working Out
of such a plan, it was a failure
Their general idea was a sepa,
rate cooperative for each pro.
duct. The moment that the
managers had their attention dis.
tracted by attempting to get into
the market with different pro
ducts. calling for different know
ledge and different conditions,
the farmer had found that the
mental spread was too great for
their representatives.

These agricultural high schools,
of which there are more than
twenty-five scattered over Dem
mark, are very modest in appear
ance with equipment that is in
expensive. Here the young men
and women come for courses of
about nine months. They dwell
in very simple dormitories,
studying daily the essentials that
will equip them to be practical
farmers or efficient farmers
wives. Special courses in dairy
ing are taught and the opportu-
of learning how to manage them
is given. Many of the schools
have been originally owned. at
least in part, by the principal in
charge, but the farmers in the
neighborhood take a financial
share and therefore an intensive
interest in the upkeep. In adj
dition to this they are supported
by small fees that the students
pay and any endowment that
they may be fortunate enough
to obtain.

Danes Quit Grain for
Dairying, Save Nation

they actually made the soil grow
with fertilizers, crop rotation
and backbending effort.
A second armageddon occurred
in 1868, when after struggle
with the combined forces of
Prussia and Austria, they were
compelled to cede their southern
territory known as Schleswig-
Holstein. On that occasion they
made their national slogan,
What we have lost without we
must gain within"
This they did in fact. In
about fifty years these peasants
have restored two thousand five
hundred square miles of waste
land which was about what they
lost in tillable soil to Prussia and
Austria in 1858.
The Jutland Country.
On leaving the Jutland coast, |
was surprised by the nature of
the country before me. Within
a very short distance, we encoun-
tered splendid forests of spruce
which today are harvested by the
farmers in cooperative organi-
cations. The peasant has literal
ly conquered the soil once cover
ed with magnificent trees but
laid waste by wars and captured
by wind-blown sands off the sea
coast, through reforestation, fer
tilization, and irrigation or drain
age. Instead of two hundred
square miles of forests, which
then existed in Jutland, there are
now seven hundred square miles.
This battle with the elements
that sweep in from the angry
and fretful North Sea was won
under the leadership of an en-
gineer by the name of Dalgus
whose memory is marked by a
stone monument out on one of
the heaths of Jutland. Upon it
is written these words: "phe
King of the Heath and True
Friend: Reco Myleus Dalgus."
The third armageddon was
brought upon the Dane by the
American farmer. AS our coun-
try opened up its rich alluvial
or mesa lands to the wheat-grow-
ing farmer, who exported his
grain to Europe, the Danish
peasant suddenly discovered that
he was hopelessly outclassed in
raising grain on his poor soil i'll
competition with America.
Instead of blindly fighting
this economic battle and going
down to utter defeat, he out
thanked it by quickly turning
from grain production to dairy
production. and bought our
grains for his cattle. Simultane-
ously with the decrease in acre
age which he had in cereals, he
increased the output of the acre
age which he still retained for
grain, and added to his food sup
ply by planting root crops and
potatoes.
In the first four months of
1923. he purchased $4,000 tons
of oil cakes from the United
States, of which forty-five per
cent was bought through the CO.
operative importing societies.
During the same period, he i'm
ported $4,000 tons of corn, of
which we sold eighty per cent.
AS an example of whole ma
ton shifting its ground and
facing right about from economic
disaster to world supremacy in
butter, l dare say the like has
never been surpassed.
Conditions have now reached
such a point that group of SIX
Danes, three from the co-opera-
tive organizations and three rep
resenting individual traders,
meet once a week in Copenhagen,
scan the worlds butter market
and name the price of butter at
least for Denmark if not for the
whole world. l do not press the
point as tn whether IL is wise to

A
on their statute books.
An interesting side light on
the whole farming situation is
that the Danish farmer is a free
trader all up and down the line,
although many of his city
brothers desire a tariff.
In Copenhagen, asked Arne
Holm, Secretary of the Agricul-
ture Council of Denmark, an or
ganization which assists the
farmer in somewhat the same ca
pacity Plunkett House acts for
the farmer of Ireland, the Hol-
yoake House for the consumers
co-operatives in England by
spreading the propaganda of CO
operation and giving aid to their
societies, to explain the success
of the Danish farmer.
He replied, Because the farm
er has through cooperation made
his calling one that is not only
admired by the intelligent city
folk but one in which the farmer
himself takes pride"
Through elevating his profess
sion, he has elevated himself, and
has practically eliminated farm
tenancy, one of the biggest cur
ses of cooperation. With nine
ty per cent freeholders, the pic
turesque figure of the land baron
has passed.
Grundtyig His Hero.
So greatly does the farmer be-
lieve in his own calling that in
stead of having soldier for a
hero, he has chosen the one who
has done the most for agrarian
life. | found his hero was a
theologian, poet, and practical
philosopher whose name was
Grundtvig. 1t is his picture that
hangs on the walls of the farm
houses, in the agricultural schools
and the folk high schools.
Grundtvig believed that deep
down in the souls of the peasants
| of Denmark there were spiritual
aspirations that if quickened
would lift them up to heights
where they would find them
selves as nation. When they
reached these heights, it was inc
vitable that material things
would be added unto them. He
saw that from time immemorial
a Latin or German Kultur has
been pressed down on the peas
ants brow. They could only
arise by throwing off these for
eign influences and making their
own dreams come true. The
dreamer Grundtvig then became
practical.
Instead of teaching his people
to be practical through the study
of practical subjects, he urged
that the way to become practica
was to arouse the spiritual. Ii
fact his followers today boas'
that the folk high schools which
resulted from his influence d.
not teach a single thing that viii
bring direct returns in money
What jolt such a suggestion
would give to the curriculum il
many of our American college:
if it were put into effect!
Grundtvig pointed the way by
emphasizing the necessity of the
Dane learning who he was and
whence he came through history
and folklore; that his spiritual
aspirations could be aroused
through song. He would grasp
the spirit of freedom through
learning to love freedom both in
action and thought. He could
love his country only through
kinship with the soil.
Undoubtedly the practice OF
his teachings has welded the
farmers of Denmark into a unit
with but a single thought-the
development of their nation
along ideals that came from con-
tact with the soil. The seed
which Grlndtyip sowed has since
