unent a co operative Htore:
"The conHumera of Portland
Bi-i-m to boon tho point of oryran
izinir to reduce the hitfh cost of
livinir, for which we can hardly
b'.nmo them; but unfortunately
they are ntrikinK out blindly, and
the farmer are noinif t' Buffer
union some action i taken. 1
uroDoHO that we onianize a to-
operativo Store in I'ortland. to
be owned und run by the far
mem in their own interest. Such
n Htore could handle all the pro
duce that now tfoes to commis
iion men, and any profit over
and above the cost of handling
would come back to the Bhipper
in the form of dividend. Be
Bidea, the manager would keep
in touch with outaide mayketfl.
und if I'ortlanders refuse to buy
our cutis or our potatoes, he
would know where to ship them.
Also we could buy our Hour and
teed through hi store, at a con
Hiderable savinti. I am fairly
familiar with the wholesale and
retail situation in i'ortland and I
am confident that a Farmers'
Co-operative Store there would
1)0 a tfreat benefit to the farmers.
Also. 1 believe the consumers
would find it to their advantage
to deal there, as they would be
dealinir directly with a farmers'
organization.
Of course, there are a number
of details to be worked out. Hut
I am sure we could Ret the as
sistance of the 0. A. C. experts,
and I would surest that I'rof.
Macphorson, or some member of
the 0. A. C be made a member
of the board of directors, and
that the 0. A. C. Commerce
Dept. be asked to audit the
books. That would insure a
square deal for all the farmers.
There are two main elements
of success in any undertaking of
this kind. First a law num
ber of enthusiastic members
men who will stay by the Co-operative
Store because they know
it will !ne(it them. Second
efficient management. 1 believe
we can till both of these condi
tions. I am sure there are plen
ty of farmers tributary to Port
land who believe in Co-operation,
ill stick bv it. Publicity
will brintr them together. Let
every man who believes in this
.rt nut nnd talk, and let's all
et together and talk, and hear
experts from tne O. A. L. Ana
tii. .n lit.'n organize a Co-ODerv
"tivo Store that will take in every
farmer that has any progressive
in him. As for manage
ment. it ought to be posstble for
ihr fiirmers of this district to
hire a good man to run their

be bonded -and' he should be

Id tnke the iob. There has
been a good deal of talk about
co-operatun, and we all know it
will work it we eret in and make
