to be commended. It H with much re

plete pomestioii of commi.ffion mer
chants from eastern cities, and the
marketing of the crop largely on the
old line consignment Liih, '1 he Kx
chanuo was the very firct to utge the
advantage and importance of divorcing

ba.-is ami placing it on a mciehariUia ng
basis of f. o. b. Kale. From the very

not only frtuck to it presiatently, itself,
but has been gratilied to see its policy,
its principles and much of its practice
unci argument adopted by others, in
cluding the cooperative marketing
agency that came into exigence lat
petition, and has become a liirgo and
important factor in the situation.
From the foregoing it will be Been
that most decidedly the Exchange is
not only nit an opponent of coopera
tion, but is the lirr-t organization to
urge the advantages ol it, and its
whole record is one of consistent elfort
und achievement in the dintion of
practical cooperution. It has, at its
own expense, been instrumental in or
ganizing new associations at many
points throughout tho northwest and
fostering and nursing them until they
were strong enough to stand alone; has
talked cooperation and practiced co
operation to an extent, especially in
practice, that tins never been equalled
in this part of the country. For illus
tration: instead of confining the pruc
ticc of cooperation to the growers of
the northwest, which is as fur as even
the boldest cooperators, outside the
Kxchange, have thought of going, the
Ntiithwestern Fruit Kcxhange, away
Lack in 11)10 figured out the truth, now
evident to nearly everybody, that ap
ple growers in tho northwest must
necessarily cooperate with fruit and
vegetable growers in other parts of
tl.u cuunlry - in Florida, in 'J'exas, in
New Kngland, in Michigan, in Califor
nia, to overcome the seasonal handicaps
on the operation of permanent and elii
cient as well as economical sales ser
vice. Have you ever ligured out how
a sales service could be elliciently and
economically muintatitied by fruit
growers of the northwest, alone, when
the ftuit is harvested within about KM)
days, and inuiketcd in a period of
about six months. What will become
of thu sales machinery the other six
months? Will it he allowed tu lie idle
and rust, or must it tie abandoned und
renewed iitnuiiilly? Doesn't either al
ternative oiler service objections to the
mind of uny rational business man'.'
What about it then? Well, tho Kx
change met that problem by a pure
cooperative principle, without any
sounding of brass or tinkling of cym
bals, ' but in straightgoing practical
manner. Tho North American Fruit
FiXchange whs organized as a service
clearing house, through which the
Northwestern and trie associations and
shippers in other purls of the country
could cooperatu in supplying a tonnage
eiilliciently great, und what is equally
imporant, millieiently continuous, to
keep a great sules force busy tor 12
months in the year, speakers on co
operative organization recently have
admitted their problem in this regard,
and have expressed thu hope that
sooner or luter, increusiiigtoniiago will
enuhle them to employ mute salesmen.
Hut increasing tonnage of only north
western fruit will never enuhle the
woik to be done with maximum ellici
oncv. for tho reason stated. The
Northwestern and its associates in the
North American, bundled, during the
year ending llccemher 'M, Wilt, over
i 1,0110 cms ol fruit und vegetables
iniiintmu over 100 direct agencies in as
many dilteient cities, and represent in
its operations, (estimated) over lo.OOO
growers, in all parts of thu country,
nil of whose tonnage combines to sup
port service of a kind not paralleled
elsewhere, at a cost per unit lower
than produced under any other condi
tions. It will be seen then, that the
hxc.haiigiH lias been practicing, since
I'.MO, practical cnoperution in a posi
tive , ellective way. I'loven perform
ance is always more convincing than
theories anil promises for the future.
'the Kxchange is not trying to mas
querade as a "mutual co-operative"
concern in u technical sense. It does
not have to be, in order to be of ser
vice to the people. In fact, it is u very
serious question before the American
people today, whether public service
corporations should be under public or
private ownership. I'p to now, the
American people have, generally speak
ing, turned ilovvn the Kuiepeun idea of
public ovvneiship and operation of rail
roads and other public utilities. "The
American political system is such,"
says Mr. Howard Kllilul, the famous
ruilroad president, "as scarcely to ren
der advisable the turning over of vast
industries to be publicly operated."
'I he trouble is, as everybody knows,
that the Biliniiiiidration of the pub
lic, business is too often characterized
by inclliciencv and sometimes by gratt.
Ilnw often do we see the public busi
ness administered with the same de
gree of ecoiiuimy, elliciency and lidelity
that the same bnsuuss would be if oper
ated by some private corporation An
swer the question squarely to yourself.
Only yesterday 1 was talking to one of
your citizens who told ot the complaint
of a road supervisor.hcie m the valley.
Speaking of spending tho people's
money, procured by taxation, on the
roads, this supervisor said thut he was
doing well if he could administer the
money so us to get the bene tit of 'JO
cents on the dollar. ; that the other SO
cents was wasted through the opera
tion of politics, reil tape, ineiliciency
und extravagance, ami thut he was
personally powerless to make the peo
ple's dollar more ctlicient. la this con
dition unfamiliar to you, or is it pcr
l'tctly cMinmorvjilncc? Why, when cities
want sewers built, streets paved, or
other public works done, do thev usu
ally contracij.vith private corporations
to do the woik, rather than hire the
men.und do it themselves? Simply be
cause, for many classes of work.it has
been found that private capital can
do the work mure cheaply and ellici
ently than the same work can be done
by the people through their political
ndniini: trton. Why dwi the Nutirr.al J

The Exchange was organized, was
made possible, and is controlled by
fruit growers; northwestren fruit
growers; men who have large invest
ments in orchaids; n.tn who are just
as much alive to the value of coopera
tion and organization ks any other men.
Ihise men, however, believe tht the
service they need in the mark' tieg of
fruit can be supplied more economical
ly br.d far more elliciently, through the
opralion cf a stock corporation under
nropcr regulation ami supervision, than
by any other means. 'Rat's why the
F.xehange is a stock corporation. Has
it justified the faith of its organizers
and of its patrons? Well, for four

matter of opinion.
Let us illustrate :
Comparative Statement
Th statement shown hereunder is a
comparison of the results obtained by
the Northwestern Fruit Kxchange for
the Spitzeiihurgs sold by it for the as
sociations named, with the results oh-t-iinid
by thn Apple drawers Associa
tion of Hood lliver for thu Hpilzen
burgs, which were sold by the North
1'acillc Friut Distributors. The prices
named by the Northwestern Fruit Ex
change are tinal and complete. The
prices of the Apple drowers Associa
tion are taken from the Hood Kiver
News of March 1H, which says, "Mr.
Sieg then read a report of the approxi
mate returns. These were not all com
plete, for the reason that all the re
turns have not been received. He saiil
they would be practically correct, how
ever, 'lhe price given for this variety
are therefore safe." Tho prices an
nounced are subject tc the Assoeation s
charges, which are 10 cents per box
handling, two cents per box advertis
ing, and an fumount for home storage,
the pool average of which is not an
nounced ollicially. but which by com
mon understanding is expected to be
not less than four cents per box. This
makes a sum of charges of I'i cents
per box to be deducted from the pub
lished ligureB which are as follows:

I desire to say in passing thut the
submission of these comparative ligures
has heen very carefully considered by
the Kxchange. We despise knocking.
We have permitted ourselves to be li
belled and abused by our competitors,
and 1 believe all will bear me out in
saying that the Kxchange has always
maintained a dignified uttitude and con
ducted its campaigns in a high-cluss,
ethical manner. However, you are en
titled to the vital facts that concern
you, ami as long as a man tells the
truth about another it cannot be con
sidered a knock. As a matter ol fact,
we have a lot of wholesome respect for
the Wenatchee l'roduce Company and
its head, as a man and a merchant.
Also, we are not singling out the l'ro
duce Company in this matter of com
parison, but are using their figures
because they are the only final tigurcs
that have been published here in the
valley. Facts being facts, we believe
you are entitled to them.
.Now, the whole question resolves it
self into this: What is your object in
growing fruit? If you are in tbe busi
ness primarily to make money for
yourself, you owe it to yourself and to
your family to got right gown to brass
tucks and compare the results of the
various marketing agencies. There are
bound to be several of them. Never
doubt that. Even in California, so
often mentioned as the home of coop
erative marketing, there are several
large strong factors in the deal, and
the successful growers are not by any
means to be found in any one of them.
Mr. C. C. Chapman, the most success
ful individual orange grower in Cali
fornia, and the owner of the famous
"Mission Urand" is not a member of
the California Fruit drowers Exchange
for example. So, here in the north
west, the industry is already settling
due n on similar lines, and no one eon-1
cern, cooperative or otherwise, will
ever control all or even nearly all of ;
the fruit, furthermore, it would be i
tremendoufly against your interests if ;
any one conftrp. cooperative or other
wise were to control it all, or nearly
all. human nature, you know, la
human nature wtelher found in the
ranks of pure cooperation or outside
them. And monopoly tends to abuses,
to inertia, to extravagance, to corrup
tion. This ia'true when one political
party cortrols the government machin
ery fur too lore and it is true cf any
other human institution. Competition
is needed Ly every man to sharpen his
faculties ; to bring the best out of him.
ll.tse things being fundamentally true,
it is up tu you to study the whole ques
tion and decide for yourself in which
me hod of marketing you can rely most
advantageously to yourself. If you
want muney. you would better study
trie Exchange's record for four years.
1 want to warn you against the soph
istry of supposing that coopt ration and
oiganizatiou is a panacea for all mar
ket ills. We have noticed of late the
growing use of the expression "Ke
member 11)12 ," much as the expres
sion. "Hemeinhtr the Maine," was
used in IV.is. It is all very well to re-
ember 11)12, and take what steps we
can to guard against a repetition of
these conditions. Hut it is equally well
not to fool ourselves in the belief that
cooperation alone will prevent them.
As a matter of fact, there will be lean
years -very lean years as well aa fat
years, in the future as in the past.
Cooperation is not responsible for this
year's good prices, nor will it prevent
some future year's very bud prices.
Unless you realize the truth of this and
build your business accordingly you
will be greatly embarrassed later on.
Iho California Fruit drowers' Ex
change so often quoted as the ne plus
ultra of cooperation, has not been able
tu avert this year's market disaster;
many, scores of cars of oranges from
California have returned red ink to the
growers and many more have sold for
less than cost of production, despite
the fact that huge sums of money have
been spent ami are being spent in
newspaper and magazine space to ad
vertise the fruit. Another point well
worth the attention of thoughtful men,
in connection with the Exchange sys
tem, is that growers are bound to the
Exchange by simple contract ties, and
not by complicated financial chains,
which so often tie the members to co
operative agencies, growers' notes,
sinking fund scrip, equities in proper
ties, obscure contracts, etc., are none
of them used by this Exchange to tie
Us members to it. lhe relation is a
voluntary one, and one easily and
quickly to be severed if dcBired. The
tact that Exchange members stay on,
year alter year, voluntarily and gladly,
is eloquent testimony of the value of
the service. This is an important
point, for there are many illustrations
in different parts of the country, of
growers tied so tight to their organiza
tion that the management is able to
hold" them year after year, always dis-
sutislied and always against their real
wish, lhe 1'ortlund Evening Telegram
of Wednesday lust, has the following
leading editorial :
"A point which nearly everybody
overlooked is this: It doesn't matter
how perfect your scheme of govern
ment may be; in its administration it
is only as ellicient as the men who ad
minister it. If we don't get results it
is because the public oliiciuls that we
havu are plucing too much emphasis 011
changing our plan of government and
too little on the character and quality
of the men who are culled in to admin
ister our public alruirs.
There is thu meat of the cocoanut.
It doesn't so much mutter about the
form of your marketing organization;
it matters a great deal about the char
acter and quulity of the men who ad
minister its affairs. Vou cannot be
too cureful of that.
I The Exchange Jdoesn't want to mo
nopolize the fruit marketing business,
and doesn't even want to market a ma
jority of it, or anything like a major
ity. It isn't seeking business in dis
tricts that it doesn't believe are able
to compete and to survive. It wants
tu handle only tho creum of the crop,
und the creum, you know, is always
just a little on the top. The Ku'hange
is known to the trade and to the north
west us the Fancy Fruit Exchange and
only admits to membership organiza
tions of growers of tirst class fruits,
grown in the few really first class dis
tricts. The Wenatchee valley stands
high in the list of the best. If you are
a grower of high class fiuit you are in
vited to study the Exchange and its
record very carefully. Take the com
parative tables above; take also your
own returns, average them out, com
pare them with Exchange returns, and
figure out the deference; the total
money difference to you. Then Bee
whether you can afford lo be without
Exchange service. It is simply a mai
ler of business.
The Exchange stands on its record of
service and results.
