be held almost indefinitely). This makes 

 the regulation of competition very diffi- 

 cult. Second, it is necessarily gathered 

 within a period of approximately eight 

 weeks and must be dealt out to the con- 

 suming public through a period of less 

 than ten months. Third, the quality of 

 the fruits is varied from year to year by 

 the varying climatic conditions under 

 which it is produced, even on the same 

 soil, while different soils and dif- 

 ferent climates the variations become 

 very acute. 



Successful co-operation demands, there- 

 fore, first, that every participant be treated 

 as every other participant in the organi- 

 zation; second, that provision be made 

 for protecting the equities of the indi- 

 vidual, that this protection should be 

 embodied in a formula of working rules 

 governing the action of both individual 

 and officials, and should be accepted as 

 the by-laws of the organization and con- 

 sidered by everyone as being as sacred 

 and as inviolate as the "moral code;" 

 third, full knowledge of all proceedings 

 should be within easy accessibility of all 

 participants. These should be sufficiently 

 broad and wise in their provisions as to 

 establish full confidence in their efficiency 

 to obtain better results under co-opera- 

 tion than by individual effort because 

 confidence is the bulwark of successful 

 action. 



Let us now look at the proposition of 

 marketing. From 1895 to 1900 the aver- 

 age annual production of apples in the 

 United States was 51,619,000 barrels, or 

 154,857,000 boxes; from 1905 to 1910 the 

 average annual production in the United 

 States was 36,844,000 barrels, or 70,- 

 532,000 boxes. All of these apples are 

 gathered at practically the same time, 

 consequently must be taken care of from 

 the time of gathering until they have 

 gone into consumption. This necessi- 

 tates the consideration of loss in decay, 

 of interest on capital invested in prod- 

 ucts and of expense in handling and hold- 

 ing of products. All this must be met 

 somewhere. 



Competition among products lowers 

 the price of the product. To regulate 

 the price is to first regulate the com- 

 petition. This is accomplished by regu-

lating the offerings at any one time to 

 meet the consumptive demand for the 

 product. But to do this necessitates the 

 consideration of the questions of decay. 

 Of interest on capital invested in the 

 product, and of handling and holding 

 expense, and in co-operation these ques- 

 tions must be considered as relating to 

 the holdings of the individual in propor- 

 tion as his equities are to the total prod- 

 uct handled by the organization, and in 

 this way only can "every participant be 

 treated as every other participant" and 

 "full protection be given to the equities 

 of the individual." Otherwise it neces- 

 sarily follows that some would profit by 

 better prices than others, which is not 

 equality, while others would suffer loss 

 in decay, interest on capital invested and 

 expense of handling and holding product. 

 This also is inequality. Therefore, to 

 accomplish the best results under co-op- 

 eration it is necessary that the product 

 handled be considered as the property of 

 the whole organization, but here comes 

 the difficulty of adjusting the equities of 

 the individual to the equities of the 

 whole. Values of fruit are governed by 

 the relative merit of the fruit of the same 

 variety as well as by the relative merits 

 as to other varieties, and, as before said, 

 the merits are so varying that it is impos- 

 sible to be exact, consequently some con- 

 cessions must be made in the hope that 

 the benefits derived by co-operation on 

 the whole will overcome any losses by 

 reason of the concessions made. This 

 requires careful consideration, patience 

 and forbearance, and further requires 

 that there be strong continuity on the 

 part of those endeavoring to co-operate. 

 Shattered confidence invites disintegra- 

 tion and strict integrity on the part of 

 all concerned, coupled with full pub- 

 licity, is the best known preventive. 

 Every member is fully entitled to a 

 knowledge of the proceedings because he 

 is a part of the organization itself, and 

 the officers are but his servants to carry 

 out his will. Therefore, he should con- 

 sider the interest of the organization as 

 the interest of himself, and should pro- 

 tect, and promote, and foster the inter- 

 ests of the organization through the 

 principle of self-defense.
