OCTOBER 26. 1922 j Aaron Sapiro. The Charlotte (N. C.) Observer j speaks editorially of the gieat organ-j ization genius: it nas Deen ooserveu oy leaders of ^he paper that Mr. Aaron Sapiro, one of the men who has put business into farming, is circulating about the state assisting in the opening of county fairs and attending cooperative; marketing meetings. It is understood that Mr. Sapiro will to some exten' back the cooperative associations in' the undertaking to keep the member-! ship strictly within the bounds of contract. Succeeding in that, he: will have rendered a great service to the pocketbook of the contracting farmer. If cooperative marketing is to succeed, all farmers who have signed up with the association must 1 stand by their bargain, for, in plac- < ing their cotton or tobacco on the market independently of the plans of ~ 1...4 me organization, mej are uui nullifying to that extent the good that might have been expected to accrue from organized marketing. This system was originated in California, where it has made the fruit growers rich. It could have never succeeded if the fruit growers had not stood as a man to their bargain?and it was Sapiro who formed the fruit growers into the strongest business organization of farmers in the world., What has been done in the case of J the fruit growers can be done in the j case of the tobacco and cotton grow- j ers, and for success to the movement 1 in North Carolina, Sapiro is the main hope. The commercial and industrial world has conceded to the agricul-: tural world that in Sapiro it has "the most inspiring organizer of coopera- J tive farm enterprises and the best- j informed man on both their legal powers and their economic possibilities," for Sapiro is a lawyer and a Jew. He has organized 30 associations in various branches of agriculture?and all of his organizations are operating successfully. "It might be noted in passing that. the three strongest allies developed J for the farmers in recent years are Jews. They are Bernard M. Baruch, Eugene P. Meyer, Jr., and Aaron Sapiro. Perhaps Sapiro would not have been particularly known outside the bounds of California if he had not been 'discovered' by Judge Robert Worth Bingham, the distinguished owner and editor of The Louisville Courier Journal, who brought Sapiro to Kentucky and placed a million dollars back of him in the work of organizing the Burley tobacco growers into a cooperative selling association. The tobacco growers in Kentucky are now fixing the price their product must go at. They are in control of the market, and only this week the1 R. J. Reynolds Company, of Winston-Salem, made a bulk purchase of 4,000,000 pounds from the Burley ' Tobacco Growers' Association, at a price fixed by the association. It was the largest sale of burley tobac co to a single manufacturer in the | history of the industry, and it cleaned out the stocks in the hands of the producers within the organization. They have disposed of their crops at from 10 to 15 cents a pound more than they could have got if there had been no cooperative marketing association! |: "We were starting out, however, | to speak in detail of Sapiro, and w# ( inf ltvtnfa t?f 1 <tlC VJUUblUg 1IUH1 All IJlvlIllclvC owi ? |; contributed to The World's Work, for1; October, by John K. Barnes. Sapiro^ is a gratoate of the University Law ( School of California, class of 1911. 1 "When he and his brother startet the j praitice of law in San Francisco, they decided that they would take no criminal cases for money and no divorce or personal cases or bankruptcies. ] They sought some field in which they , could do constructive law work. | Knowing that law follows organiza- i tion and that all industries are well : organized except the farming indus- , try, they took up farming law. To- i day at the age of 38 Mr. Sapiro is attorney for more than 60 cooperative ' marketing associations, and some of ( the dairy and fruit and vegetable groups handling in totals uore than j $400,000,000 worth of products annually. While his brother keeps office in San Francisco, he travels about the country serving these various associations and helping other farmers establish or perfect cooperative mar- j 1 ?ting organizations. He has offices i ii ?"ew York and Dallas, Texas. At pres. * he is assisting the milk pro. riucer- of the Chicago district, the broom-corn raisers of Oklahoma, cotton glowers of Mississippi and Louisianna, rice growers of Texas ami Louisianna, tobacco glowers of Connecticut and Massachusetts, dark tobacco growers of Tennessee and Kentucky, and wheat growers in the middle west in organizing cooperative marketing associations. He has been asked by the potato growers of Aroostook county, Maine, the largest po- j tato section in America, to help them improve their organizations, and yet he finds time to go up to Canada to assist Hon. Manning Doherty, Min-! ister of Agriculture for Ontario, spread the gospel of cooperative mar- j keting among the farmers of that j Province. "It is to be supposed that Sapiro j is doing all this work at his own expense. While he is showing the farm-: ers how to eet rich, si owl v but sure-! !y, he may be at the same time advancing his private fortune. I5ut Mr. Karnes makes the point that if this' were all?the gain he gets out of it i ?Sapiro could not go before audiences in every part of the world, and by his sincerity, his enthusiasm and his! dear, forceful arguments, convince i them that the plan he proposes is i a way to their esonomic salvation.1 If iie did not belive he is performing as great a public service as any man in the United States today, he conn: not keep on as one inspired and make ; his enthusiasm contagious among | j slow-moving sons of the soil. Possessing a fascinating personality that binds to him all with whom he works, he has that common touch that is necessary for an understanding of the farmer's mind. It is not to get more money for the framer that he is laboring, it is to put shoes on the feet of those boys and girls in the cotton and tobacco fields, to take 4-V.sv.*.*. /??tf on/1 nut kllCIII UUb VI IUC IIV^IVIO UIIM |/UV VilVlIt in good school.*?to better living conditions for the farmer everywhere.
