Five Cardinal Points in
Cooperative Marketing
|. Reducing the Cost Of Marketing:

By reducing the cost of packing and selling. By purchas-
ing packing house supplies in enormous quantities for
the entire exchange system at actual cost.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1927-11-13

Under the present marketing methods the growers have
no control whatever over the distribution Of their prod
ucts. By cooperative marketing we can improve the
transportation and refrigeration service.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1927-11-13
A. Standardization of the Product:

Standardization Of the product will be the largest factor
contributing to the success of developing markets and
maintaining them. 1t is only by concerted action on the
part Of those who support the cooperative that uniformity
can be secured throughout a large volume OF product, and
a definite BRAND ON "A ACKAG BE MADE TO
MEAN AWAY II SAME THING. All associa-
tons in the exchange will be required to pack a standard
package, and no other is allowed. Identical methods will
be adopted by all the affiliated associations thus insur-
ing uniformity of the output.

5. Protecting the Individual:

By combining their interests and forming cooperative
marketing organizations, the growers Of various prod
ucts are able at a relatively slight expense per member to
secure reliable information regarding various markets,
conditions of crops in competing sections, while for in
dividual growers the price Of this service alone would be
prohibitive.

;. Increase the Demand for the Product:

There is no other force as powerful in increasing the use
OF vegetables as educational advertising to consumers.
BY cooperating we can advertise exclusively while as in
dividual growers the price would be prohibitive.

$1,7QO,OlO ASKED
TO HOUSE COURT
Deficiency Bill Amendment
Provides Funds for Supreme
Tribunal Building.

The Senate today inserted an amend
priation bill appropriating $1,700,0O0
for the purchase of site for a build
ing for the United States Supreme
Court
The public building program au-
thorized by Congress at the last ses-
sion included a provision author
izing Supreme Court Building, but
no funds have been specifically APP
propriated for that purpose. The
Public Buildings Commission several
months ago voted to begin condemna-
tion proceedings for the acquisition of
the square just north of the Library
of Congress, facing the Capitol. The
appropriation added to the deficiency
bill today, if finally approved by the
House, will be used to acquire that
square.
The highest court in the land has
no building of its own at the present
time, but occupies crowded space in
the central portion of the Capitol
Building, with inadequate facilities to
handle the large amount of litigation
coming to it from all parts of the
country.
The amendment for the purchase
of this site was offered on the floor
by Chairman Warren of the appro-
.priations committee and concurred in
without debate This deficiency bill
also carries a total of S95,000 to enable
various branches of the municipal
government to meet unexpected obli-
cations for the remainder of this fiscal
year.

| BY the Associated Press
CINCINNATI, Ohio, January "a
Residents of five States, along nearly
500 miles of the Ohio River, viewed
with apprehension today the steady
hundreds of persons from flooded low,
lands.
While the water was receding some
wrat in the Pittsburgh area, where the
Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers
merce to form the Ohio, with pros.
poets that further danger Goods had
passed there, the crest of the flood
was moving steadily southwestward,
with damage to Ohio, Indiana, West
Virginia and Kentucky territory.
Further Rises Predicted.
Flood stage had been reached and
passed in many localities, and further
rises were predicted for the next "a
hours as the angry waters. swollen by
heavy rains, swept onward to the
Mississippi. The lower portions of a
number of towns were under water,
many persons were forced to the sec
ond stories of their homes or to seek
shelter on higher ground, rail and
water supplies were endangered and
considerable damage was done.
Five days of rain in the Pittsburgh
area sent the river on its rampage,
and early today the effect of the high
water was felt as far west as Louis
vile, the Allegheny and Monongahela
Rivers had fallen to 273 feet last mid
night, drop of feet since the morn
ing, and were steadily receding, while
a cessation of the rain and a drop in
temperatures aided in starting the
territory they traverse back to normal.
Several streets were inundated on the
north side of Pittsburgh, and factories
in the suburbs were forced to suspend
operations.
Marietta and Pomeroy We're the two
towns hardest hit in Ohio. At the
former, roo houses were under four
feet of water. Business in Pomeroy
was suspended when water invaded
part of the business district, but resi-
dences. most of which are on hilly
ground, were believed in no danger.
The 50-foot flood stage was passed at
Pomeroy, and river men look for a
crest of SO feet. Factories suspended
operations at Steubenville, Ohio, while
several neighboring villages, both in
Ohio and West Virginia. were flooded,
with many persons homeless. One
death was reported at East Liverpool,
where a boy was last seen adrift in a
canoe.
Expected i'm Cincinnati.
The crest of the flood in Ohio was
expected to reach Cincinnati today
with 57foot stage. The water there
last night rose to so feet. and rail
road officials were preparing to aban-
don the Central Union Station. The
Government steamer Golden Rod,
valued at 100000 broke loose at Mid
dleport, struck bridge and sank.
Residents of the Louisville water
front also were preparing to move
after watching the Ohio creep to their
doorsteps. The city wharves were
submerged. and damage was caused to
