INFORMATION RELATING TO CO-OPERATION AND ASSOCIATION 33 



" Q. Is it alwa^-s possible to get exactly the kind of stock everyone 

 wants ? 



" A. Sometimes it is very possible and in certain instances it may 

 be impossible. Where such diiRculty is encountered the men who are 

 buA'ing use their own best judgement and get as near as possible what 

 the applicant desires. 



" O. If I do not like the stock when it arrives will I be compelled 

 to accept it ? 



" A. Yes. According to the terms of the application and agreement 

 you are bound to accept the cattle when they arrive. The trustees are 

 your agents and you must take the stock they get for you. 



" Q. How much commission is charged for buying the stock? 



" A. None whatever. In addition to the actual cash expenses of 

 getting the stock and delivering them, a charge of two dollars per head 

 is made, to cover necessarj- expenses of printing, postage, interest on mo- 

 ney used on buj'ing the cattle, etc. In time this may possibly create a 

 small reserve that could be used to pay any losses that might occur. 



" Q. Isn't there a danger of tuberculosis when stock is shipped 

 from so man^^ farms in different sections of the State ? 



" A. None whatever : the cattle are all tested for tuberculosis before 

 being shipped ".
