Book Description
Excerpt from The Modern Farm Cooperative Movement It is hoped that this volume will bring some thing of the magnitude of the farm cooperative movement to the business man, the consumer and to the farmer himself. We have attempted to sketch the causes of unrest which gave birth to the movement, to give a glimpse of the magnitude of the local cooperative movement, and to outline the more recent step taken; namely, the federation movement, much of which is still in the process of formation. There has been no partizan purpose in the writing of this book. The central purpose has been to present the facts. Any matters of belief occurring to the author have been placed in the last three chapters of the book, relating to the future of the movement. Of course, the reader is at liberty to formulate his own Opinions concern ing the movement, but we believe that he will be interested, at least, in these pages. Grateful acknowledgment is made to the many authorities quoted and to the many investigators in the employ of state and nation whose tables, charts and graphs are reprinted herewith.
