S To the Farmers of Williamsburg a County: u mrtcf rt-f tVio Farmers of e UVUWW lilVWV vr* ?*.v. G Williamsburg county have lately been a reading and hearing a great deal up- t on the subject of cooperative market- b ing. This movement should be of in- t terest to every farmer in our county. Just at this time we are in urgent c need of something to improve our sys: n tern of marketing crops, and especial- t ly the cotton crop. It is not too late s now to form such an organization and 1 reap some of the benefits-next fall. c In some sections of the United c States plans of marketing have already been tried and found to operate successfully. But, although we may have watched with interest the ad- ^ vance of this movement from the far ^ northwest, through the west, down j , through the southwest, passing through Teaxs, Oklahoma and other southern states and up to Virginia, Xorth Carolina and even into some of the counties of our own state, yet that t is not getting us anywhere if we do not form ourselves into an organiza- c tion. Of course the county as a a whole cannot get the benefits of or- ^ ganized marketing if we do not organize. The plan of marketing which is be- ^ ing adopted in this section of the coun- ^ try, known as the "California Marketing Plan", originated in the fruit- ^ growing sections of California for the p purpose of marketing the fruit crops. j( It is said that the fruit-grow ers of the west and the grain-grow ets of Cana- . da and the northwest are experienc- g ing no serious financial inconvience ^ during these strenuous times in the ^ south. Infact. cooperative marketing j". has passed the experimental stage and the principles upon which commodities ' of other sections of the country are marketed can be made to suit our ^ needs in the south. 61 County farm demonstration agents all over the south are helping along C( this line. So let us cooperate with our u ci agent in organizing such an associa- ^ tion in Williamsburg county. So doubt our agent is ready and anxious to help. t] It is not unlikely that all marketing associations of this kind, composed mostly of farmers of the south and ^ west, will form themselves into a cooperative political party in a few years and will play a very important part in the politics of the nation. Such a union ohght to mean a better day for farmers. So let us make the organization as strong as possible. ^ For the benefit of those who do not ^ know the principals of the "Califor- ^ nia Marketing Plan", 1 have clipped t the following from the Progressive ' Farmer. "The California Marketing Plan" . The following eight principles of c cooperative marketing as worked out ^ in Califomia have been summarized by Mr. Aaron Sapiro, attorney for 14 ^ of the California cooperative associa- .j tions: 1. Cooperative marketing associations should include as members only growers or landlords who receive part of the crop as rent and thus have products to market. This is essential from both economic and legal principles. 2. Cooperative marketing associations must have a certainty of products to market. They must, therefore, have the growers of the commodity tied up strictly under a long term contract, ranging from three to nine years. This gives an opportunity for proper marketing connections; development of expert personal handling / ? f financial operations, and buildin; f plants. 3. Cooperative marketing associa ions must pool the proceeds of th ale of products of similiav grade an ariety so that each member receive xactly the same as every other mem er for a similiar quantity of product f like variety, grade, and quality. 4. Cooperative marketing associa ions must confine themselves to th ne function of marketing the prod cts of their members only. The; lust not atempt collateral lines,, sue s the purchase of supplies, etc.; 110 iust they market products for an; ovpont their own members his is also essential from a lega tandpoint. 5. Cooperative marketing associa ions must have a large element o ontrol in the marketing unit of th articular commodity. This contrc lay range anywhere from 30 to 7 or cent, depending upon the commod :y and the general marketing condi ions. If a commodity is markete ationally, a local county marketin ssociation is bound to fail. Sue ical associations cannot hope to affec he general market price nor to sav hemselves from being swamped b ompeting local associations or by th isorganized producers. 6. A cooperative marketing pla o i-L-nf in or nn llUSI corrccillia" c mc n>u.nv....B ther problems through expert spe< alists. These experts must be s(>ugh wherever they can be found, to tak harge of statistics, finance, organizz ion, sales, warehousing, transpot: ion, etc. When once the associatio 3 organized, it much be conducte rom the standpoint of sheer efficier y. 7. The cooperaiive marketing a> ociation which deals with non-peris} ,ble products must make possible th ise of collective credit so that th ;rower may receive a substantiz mount oh delivery of product, eve hough a great portion of the cro e stored for distribution throughor he marketing year. 8.'The contracts between the ass( iation and the individual growe oust be staandard, enforceable cor racts. All members must sign th ame agreement on the same term: lie agreement itself must be iror lad and subject to enforcement b ourts of the land.
