Cooperation and Monopoly

Farmers should not confuse cooperation and mo-
Aopoly. Is the warning sent out BY the Louisiana state
department of agriculture. in a bulletin which states
that many growers are under the impression that 90
operative marketing organizations have for their OBJ
jective monopoly Of markets.
Commenting on this widespread misunder standing
Of the cooperative principle the bulletin says:
"Farmers and others interested in agriculture should
be given facts and not fiction. There are two worthy
causes that have been decidedly hurt in Louisiana by
weIl-meaning friends Of these progressive agricultural
programs. The damage has been done BY the making
OF some public statements which are not based on
facts. and which create some very erroneous impress.
sions.
THE impression often given out in discussing CO.
operative marketing is that farmers will be able 20
sail At their own prices through monopoly control Of
their product. Complete monopoly control Of an agri-
cultural product has nevez been. is not now. and prob
ably never will be possible. Cooperative marketing
has many good features 70 Recommend It's use by farm
ers, without trying to lead producers to believe thai
they can get a monopoly control Of their product. and
thereafter sit By and demand a set price for their
crop. based on a profit in addition to the cost o. pro-
duction.
MANY co-operatives have been wrecked in this
country because Of exaggerated claims and promises
made by friends Of the movement. Organizations
founded on the promises made about the great. and
cftentimes next to impossible things which cooperative
marketing was going 70 do, are easy prey for the enc
mics of the movement"
The real objective a cooperation is to correct eco
nomic conditions. not to secure a monopoly obviously
impossible Of attainment. When the farmers Of the
United States are organized for real cooperation they
will be in position to eliminate economic conditions
which now tend to prevent efficient distribution and
reasonable profits, and relief from these conditions will
prove far more beneficial to agriculture than would
complete monopoly.

The World and All


Pioneers will suffer. Of course. and some xill Be
lost. but 7 believe the route attempted by Hassell and
Cramer in the Greater Rockford will become a COM.
mercial air route TO Europe some day. There will be
many routes. One very important route will lead over
the top Of the world TO Russia. Another will skirt the
ice cap by way of Greenland and Iceland to Sweden.
I am particularly anxious 10 see this route demon
strated as practicable. because / believe the United
States and the scandinavian countries always have
been geographically too far apart. Culturally. they are
closely allied. II a good air route could be opened be-
tween Stockholm and the interior of the United States,
this country certainly would be the gamer a. much as
would Sweden.
We are paying more attention to the Scandinavian
elements in our population since Charles Lindbergh
made his heroic flight to Paris. But the Seandinavians
have been here all the time, helping m~anfulIy to build
the kind Of country we all take pride in. These north
erners are well distributed throughout the United
States, but they are especially numerous in Minnesota.
Wisconsin, North Dakota. South Dakota, Iowa and I'LL
nois- There il a fine, prosperous colony Of them in
Kansas.
II happens that I know The Swedes better than the
Norwegians or the Danes. I have found them honest.
Industrious. and possessed Of an incurable love for
beauty. They have also a wholesome respect for Law,
and they are orderly to an extent that commands adj
~miration.
Wherever you find Swedes in numbers. YOU find
good music. a striving for artistic expression, and album
dance of flowers. Selma Lagerlof, the Swedish novel
list. is one Of my favOrite authors. I have just finish
