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. The man who sells

he bale for thirty cents is much more
kely to look into the reasons why
is neighbor's bale brought seventyive
cents or one dollar a pound, uner
these conditions, than if he sold
is bale separately for thirty cents
nd heard that his neighbor got one
ollar a pound. He learns that there
? a difference in the cotton besides
ts color and freedom from dirt, and

rriving at a conclusion as to what
