Successful cooperative marketing
is here to stay.
This is the conclusion reached by
Theodore Macklin, of the Wisconsin
College of Agriculture, after spending
several years investigating the CO.
lucrative movement and its IN
fiuence upon American farming.
He is convinced that it has been
able to put into practice reforms ana
improvements in marketing, that
private endeavor was wholly unable
and unwilling to adopt. HIS ooserVa-
t;ons lad Macklin to the beliefs tina
successful cooperative marketing
pavs, in many ways, financial and
otherwise. Although most attempts
to conduct cooperative business have
been unsuccessful, he cautions farm
ers and other classes from regarding
it as visionary. For whether we Will
it or not successful cooperative
marketing he declares, "has won
nermanent and increasingly impor-
tant place in the economic activities
of agriculture
Makes Great Contribution
The special contributions which
successful cooperative marketing
makes to the industry of agriculture
have been summarized by Mackiin
along these seven lines:
ut gives farmers the prof1ts Oh
marketing that ordinarily flow to
middlemen;
at reduces costs OF marhe'iis ~
far as practicable;
at readjusts standards OF produe-
ton; -.
at gives farmers convection 'ha'
uroa,,cts are marketed the most ef-
ficiently possible;
at establishes farmers confidence
in the marketing mechanism;
at improves old and devises new
standards of marketing service; and
at helps make marketing efhclent'
farming expert, and living WORTH
while"
This rural economist is asking
Radoer farmers and business men TO
realize that as a great forcetui IN
st,n-tnent, when intelligently used for
doing practical things, cooperation
deserves careful consideration. But
he insists, with equal force, that as a
nanacea for the wrongs OF agricul-
ture for the misfortunes OF mis-
ended farmers, for the changing Oh
bankrupt farming into permanently
profitable industry, it Is lts o""
boomerang. ~.
II is generally agreed that Wlscon-
elm wants to know "What are the
facts" All realize that no word IN
tho farmers vocabulary has peeh
moro used or abused than cooperation
