Since that time the .eo-operative idea Etas spread throughout the middle western states' until nearly every town bas its co-operative elevator. There are at present nearly a thousand operative a elevator companies in the Middle west. They do a business ,ag- gregating hundreds of millions (rf dol- lars a a year: They do it at cost to the farmers. So far this co-operative ele- Vator Movement luta helped the con- sumer only indirectly. When the'grain reaches the markets it is turned over to the terminal elevato"rs. ' Isere it Is past the farmer's centre'. , The rest of the way to the consumer is through the same cumbersome, expeusivo system from which the farmers ,escaped by ca -operation. One big leak comes in the lack ot.federal inspection at these markets, Low grade grain comes in" and'high grade grain comes, out. The consumer pays the .bill, and the ter• mina) elevator men ,grow fat on the proceeds. • It is. but a question of time until co- operative companies will 'handle the grain from the time .it leaves the grower untilit•reaches the consumer. When , a system like this is put into 'working order and the discriminatory ffeight rates that favor the large cities ate done away with the problem of , getting the products from producer to • consumer at least expense will be, solved. When an eastern feeder or irel1 n Car rwa tsar of m a corn he enn have v It billed dlrea from a cors,, -^.*^tis -4,. p4. nociation in Katona. ft will go through `bo expensive terminals; and expensive loading and .unloading will be done away with. r✓.

Co- 'opertion seems to be the only, logical • weans of reducing the great army of nonproducing Middlemen. , There are many , sections of . the United States where co-operation fs working successfully.- One of' the striking instances of successful co-op-. erat]on,•is the. grain elevator business of the middle west. The idea of co- operative. buying and:sel•ling had long been talked of among farmers, but it was not until 1890 .thatthe first suc- .l. cessful organization for this purpose ; • 1�EAIiLY A TROVSAND ' oo-OPERATIVE ELE-. . VATORS IN TRE AUDDLE WEST. • Was, established. This' was located at 'Rockwell,; Ia., and was known as. the' Rockwell` Co-operative Elevator corn= piny.. The conditions. in the..: grain .. trade at this time and - even up to, within the Iaet-half decade were •such that• the farmer was held up unmer- •ciully.. There were two 'classes of elevators --the line companies and the - independents. ,' Nearly all of these were banded together - in the form of state' associations. In several states thefli o cern of these -state •d • s oci astions fixed prices arbitrarily, sending out . price cards • to the members every morning. These were based more on the competition in the' locality than upon the market demand for • grain.. I±'inally . most of the competition was done away with, except in form by . peeling 'combinations. : The different elevett:Its in.a townpaid various rates to keep up a show of competition, and at the end of each •month the profits were divided. Thus it made no patio- I alawhich elevator did the . business. It was to escape such 'cutthroat methods that the Rockwell Co•operti- Live association was organized. From' all sides advice poured in upon the or- ganizers of the new company. They were told that the place for the farm- er was in his fields and that buslneee would, better be left to business men. The farmers went doggedly 'ahead, subscribed stook and put up an ele- vator, The (;Frain Dealers' association sought to crash thein by competition, but the founders had provided for that. 'They had ;inserted a protection 010n:ae in the eonstitution which compelled oriel) of their members to pay the asso- ciation onoa•fourth of a rent for each bushel of grain sold to a •rival rom- petty.

The condi- tions which led up to this were much •the same as those in the grain belt be- fore co-operation came to the rescue, In the live stock industry 'co -opera tion is a•'comparatively new thing; but already it. is accomplishing results.

On this security the company 1borrows large sums of money at very 'low rates of interest. This money'is )'used to purchase land for members upon approval . of the board 'of di-' i' rectors.. The farmer who borrows !money from the association pays it back in 'easy payments extending over ;a period of - forty years or so.
