Combinations o f farmers, operat­

agencies, are becoming strong fac­
tors for agricultural aid in many sec­

Spence. “ They are simply applying

the world. It now has a membership
of 126,000 farmers, who control 13,-
230,000 o f the 21,000,000 acres
sown to wheat last year in the three
prairie- provinces— Manitoba, Sas­
katchewan and Alberta. This organ­
ization handles the sale o f the
greater part of the whea* produced
in Canada, and Canada is now the
largest exporter o f wheat in the
world.
If this organization controlled but
ten per cent o f production it would
soon go the way o f many other weak
co-operatives have gone. Its over­
head would be high and its price­
fixing strength would be nil. But
controlling such a vast volume its
operating costs amount to but two-
fifths of one cent per bushel. This
is real co-operation. The strength
o f the organization lies in its stab­
ilizing power. It does not permit
large volumes to be rushed to mar­
kets to create gluts and lower prices.
Canadians are real co-operators. The
principle is almost religion with
them.
