Excerpt from the Introduction: This bulletin is primarily intended to furnish a plan of organization and method of procedure for persons required to assist in the formation of cooperative grain elevator companies. It should be of interest to producers contemplating organization, to ordinary private corporation types of farmers’ elevators desiring to reorganize on the cooperative plan, and to persons interested in cooperative organization in general. While it has been prepared with special reference to conditions existing in the grain States, it is not intended to meet the particular requirements and conditions which are peculiar to any one State. Its scope is limited to matters which are regarded as fundamental and general, and the suggestions and recommendations made are to be considered with reference to and in connection with special cooperative laws and the laws governing corporations in each of the several States.
