Cooperative marketing of woodland products /

"Farmers' cooperative organizations for the marketing of farm produce have increased in number very rapidly in recent years. Certain kinds of produce are no very commonly marketed through associations. Woodland products also may be marketed in this manner. In fact some cooperative shingle mills are already in operation, and box factories maintained for the supplying of boxes to fruit growers at cost might be considered cooperative enterprises. Much more might be done in this line, and this bulletin points out that what has been done in the cooperative marketing of other farm products can be done with woodland products also, with benefit both to the farmer and to the woodlands."--Page 2."Contribution from the Forest Service."Cover title.Includes bibliographical references.Need of forest products associations -- The work of a cooperative forest products association -- Organization of a cooperative association -- Benefit to woodlands made possible by cooperative marketing associations -- Cooperative marketing and community development."Farmers' cooperative organizations for the marketing of farm produce have increased in number very rapidly in recent years.
