Already, a large volume of business has been handled in this wty. To a less extent but in a similar .manner grain is being marketed thijugn agencies that are supposed to be di rectly representative of the organ-i.farmers themselves. The point to be noted is that these cooperative se'L'ng agencies becora available to farmers only after they have perfected local organization to do the things indicated In the earlier part of this discussion. , Up to the present time an effort has been made to set more or less well defined limits to the field of Before concluding it cooperation. should he pointed out that there are a few fundamentals upon which nil successful cooperat'on must be based. These principles must be adhered to whether the organization bo large or small. They may be briefly stated as follows: First, there must be Intellectual or spiritual cooperation before there can be successful material cooperation. To be good cooperators, men must be thoroughly convinced of the value of cooperation.' For this reason it Is much better that the movement be Initiated by the people immediately concerned than that it be brought to them by some one from outside. Second, the physical conditions must be favorable. There should ba a sufficient volume of business, actual or potential, to warrant the formation of un organization. Only one commodity or a small number of similar commodities should be handled. Third, no business, cooperative or otherwise, can succeed without reasonably goo management. As volume of business done or number of functions performed increases arrangement becomes more and more Imporlive-stoc- llve-stoc- b d well-inte- n s n ns suc-fesf- n-- pra'-thfil- est-:MI- Causes Bringing About Gradual Increase in Use of Improved Animals on Farm. Many Jinny ventures in the field of operation have failed because cooparators did not differentiate tween the tlun-- s they should couM not and should not attempt to do. This does nut mean that nil groups should attempt to do the same things. Aluch depends upon tho general situation. What is the principal object to be attained through cooperation? What is to be the size of the organization? Miat 'commodity or commodities are to be grown or handled? What will be the probable volume? t'pon the answers to those and similar questions the scope or activl-te- s cf the cooperative enterprise should be determined. - But through it nil t iis fundamental principle must be kert in mind; Successful cooperation, like charity, must begin at jiome. It is futile for tiny group of farmers to think of reaching away out to per form the complex functions of marketing or distribution until they have learned . do well the things that arc dose at hand. Failure to recognize this Important principal has been the rock upon which many a tioned enterprise has founered. As one studies the history of onr most successful cooperative organizations he f;.mis that nearly all of them have had to back up for a second start simply because they did not at first Narecognize their own limitations. turally, the lesson is learned at ter-rifc cost. Most organizations are so Injured by the shock that they do not have the power to start anew. What then, are some of the things that b group of farmers can do In a cooperative way with reasonable hope of success? If it is a marketing or ganization, one of tne easiest and at the same time one of the most im portant things such a group can do Is to determine with great care Just what commodity or commodities can be most successfully produced. There are many factors to be considered. Soli and climatic conditions, distance to market, methods of reaching the market, the particular variety or type that Is In greatest demand these and many other items must be carefully weighed and examined.
