T, LANONER BETTER FARMING CALIFORNIA FARM AH I IONS 0 T ALL OF ONE TYPE By J. F. Lanpier Reference Is so frequently ma.de to the. varla.ua California cooperative marketing association as being: typ tical of standard forma of organ isa tjon upon which farmers of other part of the country should or ahould not model their own organisations. that a general belief obtains that all California) marketing: associations of farmers are of one single type. - This Is far from being the case. Fer example there Is probably no other group of farmers' who could organise success fully upon the same plan as the Calif or nia Fruit Growers exehanse, shippers of the "sunklsr products. The "exchange1 is ail that the name implies. It receives from about 0 cooperative associations fcarioad jots of oranges and disposes of mesa m marxets or tne world pavin tuver ie wnon proceias to ias associa tions as when received. Cost of main lalningr the exchange is paid for by sub scriptions ox member associations based ppon tbe 'number overload delivered to the exchange itself. MOJCEY 8E3TT PIHECT The exchange as a matter of fact does ot handle any of the individual associa tion's money. Xt sends the original cheek for the carload of oranges or lemons di rect to its snipping member and receives its commission in due coure. Of course ali members abide by rulings of tbe ea- nnauge ana graae and ship as instructed. 3ut this form of organisation is only possible where there is a very rich group srower memoers, suen as tne orange- rsen, because -they all have to wait for their return untU the associations have actually received money for the oranges. frequently a, considerable length of time. ' The Raisin Association of California M an entirely different form .of organi zation. The association has a capital seck: of several million of dollars, Any body can be a stockholder. Many banks and private Individuals hold stock. But the margin of profit on tbe stock is lim ited. Only a fixed rate of Interest can be earned, it has no speculative value. Thousands-of growers also own stock aad receive dividends on their stock earned out of the raisins they ship to tbe association. The association makes a contract -with it "grower members guaranteeing them a fixed minimum price for their raisins. - Then it sells the raisins after having packed and graded them in Its own warehouses. It pays to the growers every cent it received for the raielns less only the actual cost of . running the association, advertising, packing end selling and in addition an amount sufficient .to pay a reasonable dividend en the preferred stock. jThe' California Prune and Apricot as sociation, which did a volume of busi- . ness last year exceeding $30,000,000. is . today conceded to be the very best form of California organisations now exist ing In that state, although it Is said the . management iis willing to admit that the phin of organisation of - the 'Oregon Growers association, the Oregon Dairy . men's league and the Washington Wheat Growers association are even one step better. The Prune and Apricot assocla- v tlon haa capital stock and signs its members up for a period of seven years. The capital stock of .the association is aB owned by growers who buy one share , of stock for every acre of bearing or chard. Upon this stock a nominal divi dend Is paid. Only growers can be . -stockholders, i Then there Is a subsidiary organization which Is owned by growers who are members Of the association. This subsidiary owns packing houses and Issues warehouse receipts to the as sociation upon which it can borrow and pay the proceeds to its members. This was the first association to adopt such a plan, which is now becoming general throughout the country. ' WORK ALOltO SAME inrXS ' The Oregon Growers association la very similar Jin form. Thrtpalrymen's league and the Washington wheat Grow ers' association and the Idaho Wheat GHowers" association' all have subsidiary corporations to handle by-products and ., warehouse products. The members eign up! for from five to six years. The prln- - eipal difference in organisation is that the growers do not have to buy any stock In the subsidiary organisations because the preferred stock offers unlimited se curity to capitalists without Imposing a burden upon the growers who frequently have, little or no money to 'tie up yet want to cooperate. An invitation la ex tended to capital to Join with the grow- : er and lend them money on the security of their products for the period of years covered by the contract. It is In fact a true cooperation between capital and the farm. and In such form that both 1 . benefit - i v -': -. .; 5 The cotton growers of the South have now adopted la similar plan of erganl- sstion. They have organised with th HOME GARDENS ARE HELPFUL ji i i i i Li i . . i '' i ' "" !mmmm mmmmm mmmmm MMHIW I ! hiiiumiiii ,M,aMjMamBm'mfmmmmmmmmmmmmntmmtmmmtmmM4imtmmmmtmmimm.

The National Farm Bureau fed eration Js also consmerjng me ognsa tion of a national wheat growers? ex cxhange upon precisely similar lines. The federation has already instructed a com mittee of 17 members to adapt the form of the Washtngtoh and Idaho Wheat Growers associations, to a national in stitation. : ';. . " - Governor Cox an Warren O. Harding, candidates r for president, m their speeches of acceptance both recognize the right of the farmer not only to col lectively bargain and sell but to col lectively purchase j any or all of their products. It is safe to say that the next decade will see the spread of the coop erative plan now eo universally in use on the Faciiio coast to every une or farm product in the country. ; Jt 160,000 OFFERED N FAIR PREMIUMS The premiums offered at the Ore gon state fair, September 2 7 -October 2," amount to $60,000. ,.Thla is $10. 000 more than was offered last year and?" will no : douJbt bring: in many more displays from all over the coun try.
