“AGE TWO THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE uO-OPERATIVE FARM MARKETING NOTES American Bankers Association Sodies Are Lending Their Active Support to Movement. \ efficient rather than Jn the theory that rketing methods eecy redit facilities, are the yy need of the ers, the State tank Division and the Agricultural mmission of the American Bank- ©) 3 Association have jointly launch- an active campaign to promote the development of the co-opera- -@ farm marketing movement, . . Of the co-operative plan, Pres!- ent Harding says: “I know of no ugle movement that promises 1ore help toward the present re- het and the permanent betterment of agricultural conditions than co- operative farm marketing.” eee In order to gather the best in- formation obtainable on successful co-operative marketing projects, the State Bank Division has sent a questionnaire to bankers In every part of the country. Information is asked as to whether the local asso- ciations are organized on the com- modity basis, handling one product or a few similar products, or on the regional basis, doing all buying or selling; whether they serve local needs only; whether they are com- bined or consolidated with other locals to include some special pha cessing and packing, and whether they are combined with a large number of lecais to form a sales organization. . ee James R. Howard of the Amer!- can Farm Bureau Federation says: “The volume of credit necessary to market any given crop co-opera- ively would not be greater than hat required for non-co@perative marketing. I seriously question vhether or not as large a volume ef credit would be necessary, since ©o-operative marketing implies or- erly marketing or the feeding of © market consistently throughout ‘he period of consumption. It cer- tainly would remove the necessity whatever funds are used in spec- lative transactions. The farmer concerned with consumptive and fot speculative demands.” oe The form of contract between the irley Tobacco Growers’ Co-opera- ye Association and its members Gited by the Bankers Association s an efficient instrument for put- ng the idea into operation. Under 4uis contract the Association a,rees to buy and the grower to ll to the co-operative all his to- bacco for five years, except such as ‘s mot under his control, on ac- fwarehouse receipts, 8 or marketing, such as pro-| count of existing mortgage or com | tracts, The tobacco {s to be delivered at the earliest reasonable time after cutting or curing. The Association makes rules and standardizes and grades the tobacco, the grower agreeing to be bound by such rules, Tobacco of like type, grade and quality delivered fn the same crop year ig pooled, the Association classification being conclusive. The tobacco {s handled in one major pool; minor pools are made by type and grade. eee The Co-operative Association sells the tobacco at the beat prices obtainable, and pays the grower the net amount received, less freight, insurance, intere! nd "de ductions to cover all co op erating the asociation; also to cre ate funds for credits and other gen- eral commercial purposes, not to exceed one per cent of the gross sale price. The surplus from these deductions 1s later prorated among the growers. The Assoctation agrees to accept drafts drawo against it by the grower upon delivery of tobacco, and to assist the grower to dis- count his drafts, secured by the threangh the most advantageous banking sys- tem. It also co-operates with him in many other details of his busi- ness. eee Eugene Meyer, Jr, managing db rector of the War Finance Cor poration, says: “Generally speak- ing, the American farmer has been forced to sell bis crop hurriedly and at the time of maximum sup ply. But the co-operative market- ing associations are gradually over- coming this situation. In the hands of the individual farmer, his prod- ucts have often been little more than an offset against debts con- tracted in order to carry on his producing operations. In the hands of the co-operative association, they can be assembled in quantity, graded and warehoused, pledged as collateral for loans, and mar keted in an orderly way.” eee Fred 1 Kent, chairman of the Commerce and Marine Commission of the American Bankers Associa- tion, says: “When bankers refuse to extend credits to co-operative or- ganizations that are not being de veloped so as to assure the safety. of all concerned, it is just as much to the interest of the farmers to have them do so as it is to the bankers. When, therefore, a farm- er finds that some co-operative or ganization, in which he may be a member, 1s unable to obtain credit, he should look into {t at once and ascertain the reason, and then either take means to correct such as exist, or withdraw his member ship at the first momert that he can iy do so. If the farmers manner, co-operative marketing can be made a most valuable ad- junct to our commercial and trade mehinery.” Greatest gold mine in the world s said to be the one at Timmins, anada, decreased to 33.9 gallons in January of this year. with fish- less water. consumption Londoners are tu January, 1922, using the Fish are often found hooks inside their bodies, A Railr oad of High Transportation Ideals Za) HE Northern Pacific is not “‘just a rail- road."’ It isa railroad of character, of | high ideals, of superior operating efficiency.
