Six yenrs ago fanners all over the

Accordingly. Farmers met the situa-
tion by organizing to do their own
melling. The Farmers union started
organising associations and then the
state farm bureaus got Interested to
the movement and they organised hun-
dreda of unita, particularly in nlinols,
Iowa, Indiana, Ohio and Minnesota.
These assoclations are made up of
the live stock producers of a commu-

Frank knocked the nshes from Ida

fellow's mind to know that there la
someone down there to look after our

do it."
" Other trucks drove up, some with
one hog and sorpa> with two. Each
hog was welghed and ilsted_then load-

The farmers nt Ida Grove- stood
along the siding and watched the
freight pull out. Their part in the
shipping was dope. All that was left
for them to do was to indorse their
chek when it arrived. This is the
co-operative way of"faking hogs to
market.
Twenty-fve per cent of all the live
stock sold on the terminal markets is
handled through co-operative shipping
associations. Four, thousand, farm
communities haye organised assoeta-
tlons. duplicates of the one at Ida
Grove. , \ • ’ -
For fifty years farmers have been
experimnting with co-operative ship-
ping. But up until 1916 not more than

the live stock shlpments at St. Paul
ate co-operative. Co-operative ship-
ments at Chicago- total about 30 per
cent—half or more of the hogs an12
to 15 per cent of the cattle. It is esti-
mated that co-operative ehlpmenta
make up 20 to 25 per cent of the stock
on the East St. Louis and Sioux City
markets. At Kansas City, St. Joseph
and Omaha the average is around 13

share of co-operative shipments In-
syegsed from 17.8 per cam in 1019 to
29.3 per cent in 192—
it was In 1872 that the -Grange
started the first co-operative Hye stock
shipping movement. In less than two
years several hundred asnociatiens
were organized in Iowa, Missouri. Ne-
— -braska und Illinois, These associa-
ttons were generally mere shipping
---agencies. They were distinctly Grange
movements and when the spirit of the
Grange began to fade the shipping as-
sociation movement died. But it wns
born again. '--
The next time it cropped out wns
down in Tennessee in 1877. A group
of sheep men around Gonlettaville
formed the Goorllettsville Lamb ciu,
an agency which graded nnd pooled
Inmbs and wool and sold at an aue
tion. If the bids wrepoor the prd-
ucts were shipped to the central mar-
ket. This organization was a surcess
and it still ‘continues to operate.

In the 80's the Farmers’ Alliance

of the associations are hecoming more
strict. They are incorporating. They
-are adopting a contract under which
the polucer agrees to sell only
throngh the association for a cerain
number of yeurs—usually three. They
are buying ottice space and scales and
are making a united effort toward per-
manence.
In spite of the loose slipshod organi-
zation of the past these co-operative
units, most of them, are making
money. In some states the saving
ranges between 20 and 75 cents per
hundredweight, with a general average
of 35 cents. The saving per car usu-
ally ranges from $45 to $75. If the
savings of nil these thousands of asso-
elutions were added together it would
be high in the millions. >
