COOPERATIVE
MARKETING RULES
Secretary of Agriculture Defines
Ten Principles Essential to
Success for Bank ASSo-
citation.

Ten principles requisite Tor TIC
success OF cooperative marketing
plans have been prepared by Secre-
tary of Agriculture Waiiace for the
State Bank Division of the American
Bankers Association. which has just
published a nationwide compilation
of views, experiences and discussions
regarding the movement. Mr.. Wal
lace's principles are:
1. A cooperative organization must
be controlled by its members, not as
shareholders or investors, but as pro-
ducers employing the facilities Of the
organization.
2. A cooperative association is not
operated to make profit on invested
capital above the usual rate Of in
terest, but to profitably market the
products OF its members at the lowest
possible cost.
8. A cooperative association should
be organized around single commo-
dity, or a group OF commodities for
which the same marketing ma
chinery, methods and channels are
employed.
A. The organization should have
sufficient volume of business to en-
able it to operate efficiently and eco
nomically, and should control this
business through definite legal con
tracts with its members.
s. The organization must perform
definite functions. The organization

ton is not an end in itself.
6. The members must understand
the purposes of the organization and
be kept fully informed regarding its
activities and problems.
Z. A cooperative association should
have expert management The duties
OF the manager of cooperative as
sociation are more difficult than
those of the manager of a commercial
enterprise of equal size. The man
ager must not only conduct the busi-
ness of the organization efficiently,
but he must recognize the close. per-
sonal interest of every member In
that business, and be able to main
tain harmonious contacts with each
individual.
s. Proper accounting is essential
Accounting is one phase Of manage
ment but is so important in coop
erative marketing that 1t is given
special mention. The management
cannot be properly advised regarding
the status Of the organization, nor
properly inform the members, with
out accurate records.
8. Sound financial policies are also
a part of management, but are of
sufncient Importance to be placed
under a separate heading. One es-
sential is that a cooperative associa-
ton should build up adequate re-
serves in order that It may have the
financial strength necessary to
weather periods Of stress.
10. A cooperative organization
should be self-perpetuating. 1t should
have definite legal status, and once
it is organized it should be so con
Quoted that it would never be neces
sary to call upon outside agencies to
re-establish the organization or snaps
its policies.

might be. 'Tll stay" she decided.
