ORIGIN OF PRODUCER'S

il IVhX I III :K MM VV N

IS TOLD BY AN OFFICIAL D. L. Swanson, manager of the Producers Commission association at

Indianapolis, has prepared the following article on co-operative- livestock marketing: The Producers' Commission association was organized according to the plan drawn up by the farmers' live stock marketing committee of 15. which was - appointed by James R. Howard, president of the American farm bureau federation, and consisting of representatives of the various counties and Btate farm bureaus and other national live stock and agricultural associations. The first market was opened at the national stock yards, Illinois, on Jan. 2. 1922, followed by Indianapolis on May 15. Since that time the produc

ers have opened offices at Chicago June 19, Peoria, 111., June 25, and

Buffalo is now open. Other offices

under consideration are those at Fort Worth, Tex.; Kansas City, Mo.; Sioux Falls, S. D.; Cincinnati, Pittsburgh

and Cleveland. Business Grows Rapidly

that time with the addition of the

other three officers, this has grown until a total of 1.784 carB were handled

in August by the four offices doing

business.

the end of the second week went Into the lead In the number of cars of live

6tock handled. It has continued to lead the other 19 firms that are doing business on the stockyards ever since the eecond week.

Former Indiana Farm Bureau Head Tells Value, Faults of Organizing

By JOHN G. BROWN Ex-President, Indiana Farm Bureau .Federation - Associating during the war with representatives of different business, professions, and occupations we found that most all of the different interests were organized. , Through such association we found the benefit, power 'and abuse of organIzation. Realizing that we are living in! the age of organization and because of this condition we do not have the same kind of competition that we

formerly had. This condition makes

it necessary that all interests be organized.

It Is natural that when a business, profession, or occupation is organized,

it has a tendency to make its busi

ness, profession or occupation more

profitable, causing many (especially the unorganized) to Join the organized. This movement has been going on until in. many cases we have many lines of the organized interests over done and many are abusing the power or organization. The abuse of such power is preventing the legitimate competition which has a tendency to prevent the development of industry as well as the Individual, and further causes the product that the unorganized consumers must buy to sell for more than hey are able to pay, and also, causes the

unorganized producers In many in

stances to sell below the cost of production.

In short the abuse of the power of organization is preventing the econo

mic law of supply and demand and

competition from operatSig, and by such abuses it has a tendemcy to cause organization or ; class 'competition which is, in many instaences, detrimental to progress. j . We are now establishira; as fast as means and conditions warrant co-operative live stock commis saon associa

tions and sales agencies for grain, dairy and poultry products.

live stock and each week a sizable surplus has been set aside in our savings oc count. A good: indication of the satisfaction of the growth la the truck in business, the producers sold 15 per cent of the total In June, 19 per cent in July, 20 per cent in August and 232 per cent or about onefourth of the total, in September. The plan of operation of the Farmers' Commission association 'is to charge exactly the same commission rates as any other company and at

the end of the year turn back to the individual shippers whatever money is left after the expenses are paid.
