Co-operative Marketing.
? 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.
