during the big wind storm and says
he does not care to repeat the ex

carried his saddle horse off its feet
and it was very difficult to keep on

increase the net j rice received by the farmer, it fails of its
jiuro.-e. The interest of the middlemen affected is to prove
ihat it ha failed, and the association can only justify its
existence bv prmingthat it has succeeded. The final proof
is !"umi-hei bv the total sum received by the fanner for his
entire season's crop. If in the general result the grower
who has sold through the association has received mon
per bushel for the same grades of wheat than he who sold
to dealers, then co-operation is justified.
.Much is said in the Price-Current Grain Reporter of
Chicago about the chages made by the association to its
members. These seem to be sucn as wouiu nave iu ue
paid, no matter who handled a shipment and they are
printed on the statement of account that is sent to mem
bers. To them must be added the interior warehouse
charge and freight to the terminal point, which the asso
ciation cannot affect. The total of these charges, exclud
ing the additions named, but including reserves held to the
close of the season, is 12.2 cents. Critics compare this sum
with the 2 Y cents which is published as the association's
handling charge, but the reply is that the 2Y2 cents only
purports to cover administration and office expense.
The average price of 90.2H cents paid growers by the as
sociation for the J 922 crop is compared with higher prices
paid to individual growers by dealers, but the former price
is the average for the whole crop of all grades, high, mid
dling and low, for the entire season, while the higher prices
named mav be for premium wheat, so that there is no par
allel. It is said that many members are dissatisfied and
wish to withdraw from the pool and that some have vio
lated their pooling contract by selling to outside dealers,
in a large organization having many members who make
iheir first experiment with a new system, some arc
prone to discontent and to be influenced by those who are,
or think they are, injured by its intrusion into their field.
The disaffection is not of itself sufficient cause to condemn
the organization or the principle that it practices.
The soundness of co-operative principle, when followed
with good business judgment, integrity and economy, has
been abundantly proved by its beneficial results in many
trades, both in this country and in others. Given the con
ditions named, it has succeeded in face of criticism from
Ihose whose business it affects. In fact, such criticism
.should be helpful, for it may expose weak points which can
he made strong, and it should impose caution on managers
Jest Ihev commit errors of judgment which would justify
it. Co-operation wins when an association springs from
realization of merits among Ihose whom it is to serve,
when members give their at lent ion to it and when expecta
tions arc not too high, I'uilding strongly on a small scale,
to be followed later by combination of a number of units,
will conduce more to permanence than will an ambitious
effort to co cr a wide field from the beginning, for much is
to be learned by experience. In that wav doubters and
critics may be convinced that co operation has come to
.lay and may be won to its support. Oregonian.

10 cents a bushel.
You may think these freak figures and apply onlv to an
exceptional ease. Then let us consider the freight rates on
wheat from Kegina, Saskatchewan, and Poplar, Montana.
1 he distance ot these two towns from shipping1 points on

larmer pays ji cents a hundred, the Canadian farmer
cents.
Or let us take Leeds, North Dakota, with a rate of 20V2
cents to Duluth, 417 miles away, and Winnipeg, Manitoba,
with a rate of 14 cents to l'ort William. 4'0 miles away on
the Canadian side of the lake.
Our farmers in the northwest and in the west and

that treight rates are too hiyh. The railwav companies
say they can't be lowered. W hat do we expect our farm-! i'
