PAGE SIX PRESIDENT Washington, Jan. 5 Coopera tive marketing can and htulU be mad a lutveas In America, be cause It provides the beat meana of stabilizing the country" agri cultural marketing organixallon. President Coolidge declared today to the annual convention of the National Council of l-'arinertt' Co operative Marketing awoclMlons. Addressing at the White House the delegates to the convention, the president warned that cooper ative marketing possessed no mag ical attributes, and asserted that ll must atari from the soli and be developed upward. There Is a ncnool of coopera tora who eem to believe that the program can be started at the top and built downward," he added. They want the government, or the banks, or philanthropic or province to lay out a scheme big enough to cover the country, net Its machinery moving, guarantee It all needed capital and then in vite the farmers to sit In the places reserved for them and proceed to Earner their profits. Let me say that I offer no such Aiaddlu-hke project. I want society rm a whole to help: but 1 want the farmers to do their share and 1 warn them that this will be the lion's share." Begin At lloltimi Cooperative marketing, the pres ident continued, muM have Its be ginnings in small and modt units and must train the people who are to use It to think cooperatively, fie used as an Illustration the building up of the United States Steel corporation, asserting that it never could have started from the top but that Andrew Carnegie built one section of it ; a not her man built other sections an, I none at the outset had the vbdon of "the enormous concentration to which their activities were tending." Th president also advised that cooperative marketing be npproah cd as a prinrlple. not as panacea. Not Mlnirli tt'orkrr "It will not perform miracles," he said. "It will not accomplish tht Impossible, I'.ut It la a sound, tried, demonstrated principle- that must be Introduced im the b.ivlw of our agricultural establishment. It demand that the Individual hall surrender some part of his complete independence for his own and for the gcne-ul good. It ine.tns that a certain authority must be delegated and when delegated it must be supported. There must be faith, good will, patience." The cooperatlvn association which es tablishes grades and standard, en courages the good and eliminates the poor by variety, Incretses the efficiency of production: provides a unified product adapted to its market, organizes its distribution creates confidence in lis products and Its methods that kind of an association Is doing the hcd that cooperation can do. Mo to than anything else, we need a genera tlon of farmers trained to co operation; and to get that we need able, courageouH, determined lend ershlp nnd most of all leadership that will not desert Hie tanner out Will stay by him. Not 1'iitrleil rnrmuln The supposition that American are not the sort of people who possess the genius for cooperation, the president dismissed as in con flict with the whole course of so ciety. "People who Indulgo this kind of nonsense invariably assume thai cooperation la a new and compar atively untried formula," he said. "Their whole treatment of It proves that they have not caught the idea They have completely missed the forest because there were too many trees growing all about. They nave overlooked the fact that nil human society is a vnsl system cooperations. It began with the discovery that two people oould together roll a heavier stone or move a bigger log than can he done by one alone. All (he way down from these earliest discover ies to the Ford achlevehients of a motor cur every lb seconds, the material advance or the race rrom aavagee to chauffeurs has been merely the development of cooper ation and the adaption of new tool for It to use."

At first It was thought the recent freezing weath er h.-i done ni particular damage to walnuts. Itecent Inspections, however, made by Van Trump, convince him that from 80 to HO per cent of the catkins, or male blossoms have been killed by the freeze in the lowlands, with a consequent dub ious outlook for the crop. He be lieves that the situation In the high lands Is apt to be better, al though he has had no opportunity so far to make any very extensive Investigation of the situation In those sections. Kurt her reports comlnjr In Indl cate that the loganberry damage may be heavier than at first thought. In addition to the damage done, unquestionably the freezing wcath er and Killing or the vines will al so add considerable to the amount of loganberry vines that will be ploughed up this year. A number of growers had contemplated ploughing up either part or all of their acreages anyway. But the damage done this year, coupled with the short crop, low prices and difficulty of sale last year, with tho added annual uncertainty in the loganberry situation, appar ently will drive many more grow ers to plough up their vines and seeK ror crops with a more defin :te assurance of return value In them.
