PRINCIPLES OF SUCCESSFUL
COOPERATIVE MARKETING
Management—
The management must be efficient
and honest. In the cooperative this
is possibly a relatively more essen
tial case than it is in private busi
ness. The management—the board
of directors and the manager—is
the greatest single factor upon
which hinges the success or failure
of the association.
The three duties of the board of
directors are “to determine the gen
eral policies of the business, to hire
and fire the manager, and to see
these policies carried out. The board
must be intelligent, fairmlnded, and
must know their business. Rela
tionship and friendship should be
considered secondary to business
ability and experience in the selec
tion of members of the board.
"This is absolutely true because
nothing in a cooperative, excepting
inefficiency and dishonesty, casts
' greater reflection on the manage
ment than the dissatisfied cry that
an employee is a relative or friend
of the manager or of a director.”
Experience of cooperatives has amp
ly proved that an efficient, honest
manager is necessary for successful
operation and cooperation.
Financing—
In financing their association, co-
operators have followed the two
principles, first, of giving capital
merely the current rate of interest
and second, of keeping control of
the business In their own hands. Re
cently, cooperatives have been is-
sueing preferred, non-voting stock
to non-members with the provision
for retirement at the end of a speci
fied period. Sinking funds to re
tire this outside financing have been
built up by deductions from pro
ceeds of the sale of products.
The fact, that capital gets no spe
cial privileges in the way of either
higher interest rates or some form
of dividend ór by getting a hand in
the control of the business is a very
important point. Cooperators found
that in order to successfully run
their own business they must them
selves have the complete control
with no strings attached from any
other source.
Any net profit on
operations,
which seldom runs above one or
three per cent, constitutes the sums
which are eventually prorated as
dividends to members on the basis of
business done in or with the as
sociation. This is a chief distinc
tion between the cooperative and
other forms of business undertak
ings The dividends are not divided
on the basis of capital stock or some
other plan.
Editor's Note: This Is one of a
series of articles on cooperative
marketing, much of the data for
which was taken from the work
of Dr. N. H. Comish, W. W. Cum-
berland, W. E. Humphrey, A. W.
McKay, C. H. Lane, Henry C.
Wallace and the American Bank-
ers Association.

CORN-HOG PROGRAM AWAITS
ACTION BY U.S. GOVERNMENT.
"The Oregon corn-hog adjustment
program has continued to mark time
because the official estimates of hog
production and marketings, upon
which the Government’s quota for
Oregon is based, are much below the
sign-up figures and with the facts
as indicated by an independent sur
vey made by our committee", .says
H. A. Lindgren, Oregon State col
lege extension animal husbandman
and chairman of the Oregon corn
hog Campaign committee.
"Until the true facts as to hog
production and marketings in this
state have been given fair consider
ation and a state quota fixed that
is in keeping with these facts, our
committee feels that the review
board will be powerless to fix coun
ty quotas and properly Instruct the
county allotment committees as to
the amount each individual grow
er's contract must be scaled down”,
says Lindgren.
Among the most recent develop
ments in the corn-hog work is the
arrival of two representatives of the
Division of Crop and Livestock Es-
timates, who win make an exami
nation of the growers’ contracts.

4-H COOKING AND CANNING
CLUBS GIVE DEMONSTRATIONS.
The fourth meeting of the We-
Can—Canning club and the Kookie
Rooking club was held Wednesday,
July 11, at the Hermiston Union
church. Two demonstrations were
given. Frances Dawson and Anne
Sommerer gave a canning demon
stration showing the cold pack me
thod of canning rhubarb. The cook
ing demonstration was a sun flower
salad made by Jane Jackson and
Ruth Pierson.
Refreshments of ice cream and
cake were served. The next meeting
will be held at the same place July

Notice to Dairymen.
Ice deliveries to the farmer on
routes of the Umatilla Cooperative
Creamery will be discontinued. The
insulated box carried on the long
routes was intended for packages
from the cold storage lockers, and
as orders for packages are increas
ing, as well as the demand for ice,
one of them must be dropped. Oc-’
casionally there is room for a small
amount of Ice but it would be un
fair to deliver ice to one party un
less all could be served.
The management has had to con
sider that the cream trucks must
not be delayed and with a load of
approximately two tons of cream
.nd cans, it would be impossible to
arry much ice under any circum-
stances.
We urge that all people calling
it the creamery cooperate with us
o the end that employees will not
be taken away from their work any
more than necessary. The N.R.A. re
quires that we limit' the hours
worked by employees and efficiency
in the plant must be kept up to the
highest possible point in order to
avoid unnecessary expense.
Meat must be brought to the chill
room on week days when the butch-
sr is in charge. The men working
on buttermaking should not be
railed upon to carry in animals from
the street, as creamery workers’
clothes must be kept In a reason
ably sanitary condition.
Those who desire to have ice plac
ed in their lockers for future use
may do so when they are in town to
serve themselves but no phone or
ders will be filled by the creamery.
A meeting of the local committee
in charge of cream and butter im
provement work under the National
Dairy Council, was held recently,
and It was decided that no commu
nity meetings be held during the
busy season but that each creamery
operator would carry on his own
campaign to improve cream quality
and increase butter consumption.
