Abstract
Cooperation is concerned with human loyalties, is rooted deep in economic activity, and has an object underlain by a theory and a set of principles. Thousands of people have organized economic cooperation; its ideal, its technique, and its democratic methods have become a harbor of thought and action. The movement can be regarded as an important advance in the direction of a more integrated society. Everywhere forms of collectivism are evidenced; in business the trend is more and more in the direction of cooperation, As for instance in the Rotary clubs, etc. The guild of the craftsman has given way to the trade union and the industrial union. Commercial housing and town planning have appeared in urban centers. Political problems inevitably focus upon economic control and at least the rudiments of social planning. Small wonder then that the country is unorganized and in practical farmers have fostered forms of producers cooperative marketing associations to expand their economic opportunities. The cooperative marketing movement has offered them a fruitful method of improving their standard of production. It is the stability of cooperative marketing associations and the success with which they have solved various complex marketing problems that makes their organization of more than usual value in Oregon.
