CO-OPERATION.
Some farmers in New Zealand are inclined to think that the co-operative movement has been carried to the limit in the dairy and meat freezing industries. Recent authoritative statements regarding the co-operative movement in Denmark show what a tremendous hold the movement has there and how little we com Dare with that country as regards real co-operation. It is not. of course, contended that co-operation to the extent that it is known in Denmark is desirable in New Zealand. In Denmark one farmer out of every four is a member of a cooperative store, while 90 per cent, b long to a co-operative dairy organisation. More than eighty per cent, of the bacon is handled by co-operative concerns, and feeding stuffs and fertilisers are imported in bulk by cooperative organisations. Even such materials as coal and cement are handled by co-operative organisations which thus supply practically every farm requisite.
