ORGANIZATION 



FAEMEES have not yet learned how to 

 work together effectively. They have 

 numberless organizations, but there is a 

 lack of good ' ' team work. ' ' The very indi- 

 vidualism of the man makes him either 

 suspicious of other men or undesirous of 

 working with them. The farmers in any 

 region are engaged mostly in the same 

 kind of farming, and they regard them- 

 selves as competitors rather than coopera- 

 tors. It is now beginning to appear that 

 it is usually more profitable for a farmer 

 to grow the same crops that his neighbors 

 do, for the community comes to have a 

 reputation for certain products and it at- 

 tracts buyers and bidders ; better transpor- 

 tation rates and facilities are secured ; and 

 the common interest brings expert know- 

 ledge into the community. The immediate 

 region, rather than the separate man, 

 should be conceived of as an economic unit.
