GIVE THE FARM BOARD A FAIR CHANCE L 11(14 most iniddli'iiiun, Clmrlos W, lnsdilo, prominent mid Western (,'nun duiiler, does not believe, in cp-operiivo inur touting, iih fur hs liis own business is eonuerucd. ,,, ,, . Hu Iiiih therefore refused to assume direction of the Kurniers' National (Jrain Corporation, which was recently o'gi(nied un der Ihe Federal Farm lielief Hoard. ,, . .... , ... "Obviously," says Mr. Lonsdale, "it would be unfair to both the farm board and to myself, for me (o ne,a.'u in its services when my best judgment, gained through 40 years in the grain trade, is that the plan, as far us it applies to grain, is funda mentally umvorknblc." . , "Obviously" is right... I'nder the circumstances, Mr, Lous dale could do nothing less thuu retire, and his net inn-is nu'wi ticely creditable :one to himself, 'x ., ..' ' I''- NKyEJJ'J'lIKLKSSj we' regard it as rather premature to con , elude that all. co-operative, marketing is a failure, bceiiiiw Mr,. Lonsdali! opposes it. Or lcaiine other grain brokers may oppose il. . There are other business men with cpni exicrienco and with as high capabilities front President Hoover down', who believe (hat proper co-operative methods will provg more profit able lo the grain grower than the old competitive methods. ' Just as "obviously,',' uci men are as entitled to an oppor tunity to try out a, system they believe in as Mr. Lonsdale is entitled to withdraw from a sysU'in' in which he doesn't believe. ul it seems oiy, fair play to give President Hoover, and those who believe as he does, a chance to demonstrate the. truth or falsity of their claims. Certainly if co-operative marketing is as impractical and iniquitous as Mr. Lonsdale maiu(ains, the fiiet will be demonstrated soon enough, , ,Xo on,e can ;lcny ,tbe old competitive methods have not brought prosperity or contentment to cither the grain growers Br'the.fariners. Perhaps a co-operative system will do no better. It, may be true io syslein can bring relief. P.ut why not try out tin; new, system first give the President and the Farm Kelief Hoard a fair chance instead of trying to tie their hands before they start? . , . ' ' . .. . Ij; llys, as in all other departments of .nimi! activity, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. It is true that some co-operatives have failed. It is also true many have succeeded. The only way to determine "ic value or wortblcssness of any particular sys.tcm is to try it out. Then why not be good sports and let President llnover and the Farm Board have their trial? . This appeals to us as not only good sportsmanship, but good sense. For. whether we believe or don't believe in co-operative methods, the Farm Hoard has been formed, and the system is to be tried. The co-operative movement not only in agriculture, but in all industry, is too strong and too well established, for any individual or. group of individuals, to expect that they can destroy it merely by. talking against it. t ; , ,, ' If they arc right experience is going to sustain them, no matter bow much pro-cooperative propaganda is put out ; and if they are wrong their cause is hopeless, regardless of how they ! may try to sweep back the economic tide with -a broom. ;iVhy then stir up a lot of bickering and bitterness which, by the Very nature, of things, lean , do no permanent good, one way or tho other? , , . ! ,n .,.-.. , ' MOHKOVKIf, there is no compulsion about this co-operative, business. Those wlu don't want co-operation, or don't ! want assistance, financial or otherwise, from the Farm Kelief Hoard, are not going to get jt, .Only those who do want it who believe in it are, going to be accommodated. Certainly such people should be allowed to do as they wish, and u. government, which lias, legally 'adopted n certain plan, should be allowed to test that plan out as it desires without hav ing heir motives impugned, as in some mysterious, seu.su un- American., , ,, ,,, , , . ,v- There is plenty of room in this country for both eo-per:i- 1 live and competitive marketing methods. Xo matter bow cither , system may grow, the time will probably never come when j either one will be entirely abandoned. j The co-operative movement in the ('alil'oijnia citrus industry has often been cjlcd ,us it .striking of sueh u system. .Auil .vct during the past year, there were Ul!,r!):l carloads of citrus fruit, (seven times the total tonnage ". Ibis district) shipped out by growers not affiliated in any way with the California Kruil (rowers' Kxrhange. The eo-opcnrlive ! goes, its way,, the iiid.cpendenls go theirs. , ,. , .

No! friendly propaganda is going lo support it if it can't; no hostile I propaganda is going to destroy il, if it CAN. . 'e hold no brief fop eo-openitive marketing, nor do we claim any speeial knowledge eoucerniiig it.. But wo do regard it as tin important question, and we do believe that, regardless of what one may think of il, it is entitled to what in so many quarters it is not receiving a square deal.
