For the slightly higher price we have to pay under such conditions, we have the benefit of a domestic sugar industry which saves us from being wholly at the mercy of foreign producers.

COOPERATIVE USE OF LABOR AND MACHINERY There is one important kind of cooperation, that of cooperative use of machinery and labor, which is little talked of and is sadly neglected in practice, in spite of the present enthusiasm about cooperative organizations among farmers Small farms could greatly increase their profits if three or four of them living on adjoining farms would agree to own and use cooperatively one complete set of machinery. It has been proved conclusively by farm management investigators that farms of 40 or 50 acres, or less, in size are too small to justify a complete stock of machinery and other equipment. But if farmers would work together, exchange labor and hire less help, they would find themselves realizing greater profits and handling with more skill the three essentials of production land, labor, and capital than could be possible by attempting to run a strictly inbusiness.
