^^^^fe-operative Marketing?Production. | tl me increased price, or the larger jh returns from the co-operative ; f of farm products has been d II undue prominence. No doubt J h prices have been received and a may have been and probably d I lc amply sufficient to make the ef- j i. profitable, but the indirect resuits are even moie valuable. t Better marketing and especially co- ? W operative Marketing is the greatest lj K aid to better Droduction. When a a E product from several farms is pooled a K or marketed collectively, the quality i s of the individual farmers product and i v the specific defects which it may have I r [ are brought to the attention of the: v | producer in the most forceful way j c f possible. He suffers a reduction in s price, and the fact that his neighbors . 0 receive a better price on the same 9 market and under identical conditions 3 drives home the lesson that the quali-1 ^ ty and condition of a product deter- j v mine largely its market value. When 1 lie markets his product separately he I >- may excuse or explain a lower price ^ y on the ground that the market was P off the day he sold, or that some prej- 11 udice or combination was responsible a for his failure to get as much as re- f * ceived by a neighbor, but if his prod- 11 J/b ; uct is marketed along with that of his } neighbor by the same person and un- 1: j identical market conditions and ^ brings a lower price, and this is re-1 peated a few times, the lesson is surely driven home that the quality or; condition of the product is responsi- ( ble for the difference in price re- a ceived. This effect surely comes and * is driven home with force no matter j where the grading is done. Collective ( marketing is the one sure and effec-11 tive means of securing the .produc-1 -tion of better products and the put- j ting of them in the best condition to i meet market demands. i But perhaps a still more important ( result of community or co-operative r marketing is the force which it ex- i erts toward securing uniformity in * variety and kind of products. The statement is often made that g it is of great value to any community J to produce the same variety or kind * of product and in large quantity. ^ For instance, a half dozen men pool /their cotton crops. The fifty bales f are marketed together, but of course * -each bale is sold on its own merits. There may be one bale that at present I would bring seventy-five cents or one m dollar a pound and others that would ^ 0 bring thirty, forty, and sixty ^ 0^ cents a pound.
