A Primer of Economics 
(Continued from page 402) 
California fruit growers have redeemed 
their industry through their co-operative 
system of localized associations with a 
centralized selling exchange. Fanners 
have the goods. The dealers amt specu¬ 
lators and trusts are helpless without 
them. As a rule consumers are friendly 
lo producers, and the simple task for co¬ 
operation is to organize a system to take 
the food products from the farmers’ hands 
and place them in the hands of local city 
distributors, who will pass it on to the 
consumer. Seventy-five cents out of the 
consumer's dollar then goes back to the 
producer, and he pays his own cost of 
delivery with opportunities for increasing 
efficiency and economy. 
Another error that the co-operative 
management must avoid is entanglements 
with the political elements which are 
known as the invisible State or city gov¬ 
ernment. These are always in alliance 
with the speculators and dealers. Their 
system collectively and their perquisites 
individually depend* on the favor of the 
food trusts and the middlemen interests. 
They will make academic concessions to 
deceive the members of a co-operative or¬ 
ganization and seduce its leaders just as 
they delude our citizenship and corrupt 
our officials in public life. They work in 
secret, and having once succeeded in com¬ 
promising the farm leader in secret in¬ 
trigue, he is afterwards powerless to re¬ 
sist their demands. A distrust of the 
practical politician is a necessary quali¬ 
fication of a co-operative leader or sales¬ 
man. 
Still another mistake to be avoided by 
co-operation is an attempt, except in very 
unusual and extraordinary cases, to af¬ 
fect prices by keeping a regular flow of 
produce out of the market. Food strikes 
in the city hurt the consumer more than 
the dealer or producer. Withholding 
the normal supply in the country injures 
the farmer more than the dealer or con¬ 
sumer. In extraordinary cases where 
thi‘ dealers in combination are in com¬ 
plete control of the market because of a 
monopoly of the means of distribution a 
fight, or strike may he necessary to em¬ 
phasize the injustice and to form public 
opinion on it as well as to force a price; 
but this is not the, function of organized 
co-operation. It is more an expression 
of the despair of individual meekness and 
spontaneous personal defiance. It cannot 
be relied on as a means of permanent re¬ 
lief. The city people must have a full 
and regular supply* of food. There is no 
alternative short of hunger. They soon 
learn to use a new food for the regular 
favorite, and often learn to like the sub¬ 
stitute, especially if it is cheaper. The 
scarcity and high prices of some foods 
during the war have greatly increased 
the use of food substitutes throughout the 
Old World, as well as with us at home. 
The farmer cannot afford to encourage the 
use of substitutes to replace the fresh 
and natural products of the farm. We, 
of course, have crops, like w’heat and po- 
! toes and apples and many others, that 
must be earned from harvest time through 
the year. They cannot be absorbed at 
once by the consumers, and should not go 
at once into the wholesale market. Fa¬ 
cilities for storing and for banking*should 
be under the producer’s control, so that 
such foo(> could *be distributed regularly 
in quantities as needed. But no matter 
what the price, if made on the basis of 
natural supply and demand, the produc¬ 
er's best interest is served in keeping a 
regular supply in the city markets avail¬ 
able to city consumers. City people eat 
what is available. They must. When 
New York apples are not in sight in the 
stores, they 4ake the apples they find 
there. The greengrocer practically sells 
out his entire supply every day. The 
people simply buy what be provides. 
Foreign producers supply these markets 
•because someone forces them on the mar¬ 
kets regularly. This is the real business 
of our co-operative management, to sell 
the products and to make a place for 
them in the local stores in plain view of 
the housewife in her morning search for 
food. We must have a steady supply of 
our -State products on these markets dur¬ 
ing their season. The people must be en¬ 
couraged to get the habit of using them 
and calling for them. If the price is low 
at one time, it will not do to shut off the 
supply entirely, and allow them to be re- 
1 placed by substitutes or other foods. The 
: sales management must keep the market 
supplied and encourage consumption.
