ABSTRACT
Co-operation in production has been applied with greatest success to the dairy industry. The remarkable development of the butter trade of Denmark is attributed largely to the establishment of co-operative dairies and creameries, which have enabled the farmers of that country to supply the British market with immense quantities of butter of uniform quality. Many of the complaints made by farmers of excessive and preferential railway charges arise from the fact that the consignments concerned are not sufficient in bulk to enable the companies to handle them with profit at the lower charges at which they convey larger consignments. In conclusion, it is pointed out that the efforts of propaganda, such as those of the Agricultural Organization Society, can be seconded by County Councils in rural districts where co-operation is likely to be useful, the Board of Education being prepared to sanction.
