Abstract: Excerpt from the report: Statistical data from two Federal sources are available for telling the story of farmer cooperation in the United States. One set of figures has been compiled in a project originally set up in the Office of Markets and Rural Organization of the United States Department of Agriculture in 1913, which with various administrative changes has functioned continuously since that date. The other set of data is from the Bureau of the Census of the United States Department of Commerce, whose enumerators interviewed farmers concerning certain aspects of their cooperative activities for the years 1919, 1924, 1929, and 1939. The compilations of these two agencies are not comparable. Each, however, supplements the other and both tell the same story, but with variations as to details.
