HELPING THE FARMER

EFFORTS Of the farmer 20 lift himself
II from the bottom of the economic
heap-where he has been struggling for
several yearS-thru cooperative organl-
Zation are at last 10 receive direct and
constructive support from the govern
ment
Secretary Of Agriculture Jardine, IN
his annual report, declares the resources
of his department are unqualifiedy be-
hind the farmers cooperative movement,
and cooperative leaders are much
pleased.
The government has been slow in COM
ing TO the aid of cooperation. its main
achievement being partially 20 free the
movement from the hampering effects of
legislation passed for far different pur-
poses, but which acted as bar TO farm
ers' efforts to combine TO market their
own goods.
Jardine pledges his aid to inform farm
ers of business conditions, TO spread the
gospel of cooperation" and TO advise
and support the co-operatveS' work IN
taking over marketing, standardization
and packing of farm products.
The last function is the most import
ant, for the reason that practically every
thing the farmer has TO sell is raw ma
terial. His cotton and wool must be made
into cloth or garments; his hides into
shoes, his wheat into bread, his cattle
into beefsteak.
Every such change requires scores OF
processes, and each process pyramids the
price. The farmer must buy back the
finished product, at the rate of several
hides for pair of shoes, several bales OF
cotton for a suit, bushel of wheat for
10 loaveS of bread.
He is thus at great disadvantage, and
TO some extent must always remain so,
trading large quantities of raw materials
for small quantities of finished ones.
But in so far as he can take away part OF
the finishing process from the middlemen
who always have had the unorganlzed
farmer at their mercy, he can take part
of the profits and better his own position.
Oranges packed and graded so that the
box leaving the coop sheds is only opened
by the retail grocer 1000 miles away
wool and cotton and tobacco graded and
marketed by the farmer himself; milk
protected and graded by the cooperative
these are all partially prepared prod
ucts. Encouragement Of the farmer to
prepare them himself will lift him a lit
tie. perhaps, but permanently, toward the
TOP of the heap, and this is what Jardine
proposes.
