Helpful Hints
For Cooperative
Marketing Given

The success of cooperative market.
ing depends more ilraH anything else
upon efficient management and Il
thorough understanding on the part
Of the membership as TO the posi-
bilities and limitations of coopera
tive marketing, according to Chris
l.. Christensen, in charge of the di.
vision of cooperative marketing in
the United States department of ag.
riculture, who has Just made n three
months tour of the country stady-
ing cooperative methods
The importance of having men
with business capacity to head up
cooperative organizations can not be
overestimated, Mr.. Christensen
says. He declares that cooperative
organizations are beginning to real
1ze more than ever before that pro
duction and marketing are INSOFAR,
able, and that very often the solu-
ton of marketing problem may be
found to originate i'll production
practices. Organizations are also
learning that production must be
adjusted to meet market demands.
Mr.. Christensen study included
the cooperative marketing methods
employed by farmers organizations
for handling fruits and vegetables,
dairy products, poultry products,
wool and grains. He visited 90 to
% organizations in California. In
Oregon he studied the wool market,
ing associations, and in North Da-
kota and Minnesota, he investigated
the business methods and practices
of farmer s elevators to determine
the factors that enter into the eff.
cient management of the elevators.

Washington, Dec. 3-Congress
has received two important mes
sages from President Coolidge.
Today, his message setting forth
the opinions and recommends
tions of the Administration was
read to the Senate and the House.
The Presidents budget message
showing a reduction of $59.225.-
931.72, in estimates of Federal
appropriations for the fiscal year
of 1926, was also submitted to the
legislative body. The estimated
expenditures for 1926 amounted
to $3,729, SIG, 846.48.
In his message to Congress, the
President stressed the need of
rigid economy in public expendi-
lures. He stated that the nation
al takes still amount to $27 for
each one of our inhabitants and
that further reduction was neces-
sary. The message was sent ia
