The Cooperative Marketing Issue
Attacks on the Federal Farm Board
continue with intensity, until one
would think by reading some of the
city dailies that all that is needed to
restore prosperity is to repeal the
Agricultural Marketing Act. It is no-
ticeable, if natural, that the bitterest
newspaper attacks come from those
cities where private dealers in farm
products are most numerous. It is fair-
ly apparent that the outcry is not-al-
together a popular uprising, but ori-
ginates in part with commission men,
brokers and speculators in farm pro-
ducts.
The heaviest broadsides of criticism
are leveled at the stabilization efforts
of the Farm Board—its buying and
holding of wheat, cotton and so forth
to maintain the price—but there is
really not much controversy on this
point, for it is generally recognized
that this feature of the act has not
worked well and it is not likely to be
invoked again. The more serious issue
involved is whether the effects of this
attack may splash over onto the co-
operative marketing activities which
are the more fundamental and more
constructive phase of the Board's
work.
The assistance of the Farm Board,
financial and otherwise, has stimulat-
ed the growth of cooperative market-
ing, particularly in the terminal mar-
kets. That growth, of course, leaves
less business for private handlers. The
latter are only human, and no one can
blame them for trying to retain their
business. The issue grain and produce
unv estionably have supplied an in-
dispensable service in the past, and it
is altogether likely there will be room
for their services in the future along-
side the cooperatives. In a sense their
individualism is like that of the inde-
pendent retail merchant resisting,
often successfully, the inroads of chain

For Fisks this year arc built with the deep-cut, yet silent non-
skid tread pattern that grips the road at once_with safe, sure trac-
tion, and brings you out of the traffic parade smartly and with a
new appreciation of "pick-up."
Yet this is but one of the merits of the new Fisks. Fisks have
always been service tires — tires that deliver the most for your
money in safety, comfort and performance; tires we have been
proud to recommend; but the new Fisks, with their ^ plus features
of added value are the greatest tire "buy" we've ever seen.
Come in and see them for yourself.

One of the favorite points of attack
just now is the salaries paid by some
large cooperatives. The fact is that the
cooperatives are in the big business
class. Big business demands big men,
and can afford to pay the price neces-
sary to get them. As a matter of fact,
salaries paid by the big cooperatives
are modest compared with those paid
in many other lines of business. If the
cooperatives are forced to replace
their competent managers with cheap
and mediocre men, the prospects of
their success will be that much less.
The agitation already has gone so far
that a bill has been introduced in Con-
gress prohibiting cooperatives from
paying a salary of more than $15,000
a year. Such a law—if sound—might
logically be so broadened as to in
elude salaries said by corporations.
The interest of the public lies in the
development of the most efficient mar-
keting organization possible, whether
cooperative or private. The experience
of cooperatives shows that their or-
ganization is soundest when their
growth is gradual. This should allow
time for the adjustment of private
trade to the new situation. Meanwhile
the cooperatives merit reasonable op-
portunity and assistance to try out
their worth to agriculture.

I have the dearest, sweetest little wife
That ever you did see,
But she insists on wearing the pants,
And that's what worries me.
It makes no difference what I do,
She's bound to have her say,
And takes great pains, as she explains
How "Pa" would do it some other
way.
She is "monarch of all she surveys,"
And surveys everything in sight,
But she doesn't believe, nor can she
conceive,
That she's overstepping her right.
1 used to get "spunky" and try to re-
sist,
But it was to no avail,
She would rule or die, and that is why
I'm writing this woeful tale.
Oh, wifey, may I wear the pants,
Just for a day, no more,
Merely to see how it would be
To feel like a man once more?
Now, when she dies and goes uft
higher,
Or lower, as the case may be.
I'm sure she'll wear the very pair,
That should belong to me.
The funniest thing about this verse.
Should it in print come out,
Fully nine men out of every ten,
Will think he's the man I've written
about.
