what was your first experience in
cooperative marketing?"
Follower of Weinstock
"The first I heard of cooperative
market was in 1908" said Sapiro,
telling of farmers meeting near
Stockton, Calf. He became a follow
er of Col. Horace Weinstock, later
California state director of agricul-
ture.
"Weinstock had quite library and
| read it, particularly everything
could get on agriculture credits and
marketing" Sapiro added. Ke spaced
his replies with smiles.
Organized Chicken Raisers
When Weinstock took Office as farm
director, the witness said he went
along as assistant. This brought him
into direct contact with farmers and
growers. At last, in 1916, he said, he
Incorporated the poultry dealers Of
California This was the first Of his
cooperatives
Senator James A. Reed (D) of Mis-
souri,, chief of Ford's counsel, watched
the witness, and objected particularly
to testimony as to HIS anxiety to
fight in the Great War. Sapiro was
in an artillery company at Tacoma,
Washington, when the armistice came.
A General Organizer
After the war, Sapiro said he or
ganized fruit growers, bean growers,
tomato growers ard dairymen in Cal
ifoinia. In 1919 he said, his cooper
ative movement spread beyond the
limits Of California. The first step
was TO oregon, he said, to organize
prtne growers, then to the Washing
ton wheat growers.
Idaho was next and then he jumped
across the nation to Mississippi where
staple cotton growers wanted to or
ganize. In rapid succession, Sapiro
named North Carolina, Texas, Geor-
gia, and South Carolina where he or
gained cotton growers.
Tobacco and Wheat
The first tobacco cooperative was
organized in Virginia in 1921, he said.
The next was Kentucky. At the same
time he organized wheat associations
in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, North
Dakota, Nebraska and Colorado.
Then he organized hurley tobacco as
soeiations in Kentucky, Tennessee and
Indiana.
Into Canada
His first venture outside the Unit
ed States was to "handle dairy and
fruit problems in 1922" in the Can
adam Province Of Ontario. He went,
he said, at the invitation of the min
ister of agriculture. He also organ
lied wheat growers in the Canadian
provinces Of Alberta, Saskatchewan
and Manitoba. In 1922 and 1928 the
witness said he organized potato
growers in Maine, Minnesota, Colo
iado and Idaho. In carly 1924 he
helped organize wheat growers in In
diana.
