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."

The 1925' walnut crop Is apt to
be badly depleted, especially In the
lowlands In this section, according
to County Horticultural Inspector
Van Trumt). 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.
