THE MORAL FOR OURSELVES. 



Co-operation in agriculture has hitherto been so widely 

 associated mainly with Denmark that many English people 

 have failed to realise the extent to which the fundamental 

 principles involved have already spread throughout the world, 

 however much the application thereof may vary according to 

 the national circumstances or conditions of the lands 

 concerned. 



It has here been sought to show (i) what these funda- 

 mental principles are, and, (2) by a few typical examples, 

 how they are being applied abroad in actual practice ; and 

 the moral we are left to draw is that when so many other 

 countries are seeking to re-establish their agricultural, 

 their economic and their rural conditions on a firmer and 

 better-organised basis, it is incumbent upon ourselves not 

 to fall behind in the march of the nations along these all- 

 important lines of material and social progress.
