This pool was an attempt at centralised marketing of the entire Western Canadian wheat crop. Ostensibly the main reason for this scheme was to secure for the farmer a fair and stable price for his wheat crop. The purpose of this thesis is to trace the chain of events which, through the years, culminated in the government estab- lishing the Canadian Wneat Board and vesting in that agency monopoly power in the marketing of wheat grown in Western Cana- da.

    SARAH CARTER O U R S BY EVERY LAW OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE Women and the Vote in the Prairie Provinces WOMEN’S SUFFRAGE AND THE STRUGGLE FOR DEMOCRACY SERIES EDITOR: VERONICA STRONG-BOAG The story of women’s struggles and victories in the pursuit of political equality is not just a matter of the past: it has the value of informing current debate about the health of democracy in our country. This series of short, insightful books presents a history of the vote, with vivid accounts of famous and unsung suffragists and overdue explana- tions of why some women were banned from the ballot box until the 1940s and 1960s. More than a celebration of women’s achievements in the political realm, this series provides deeper understanding of Canadian society and politics, serving as a well-timed reminder never to take political rights for granted.

  • Factors That Influence the Commitment of Members to Their Cooperative Organization Joan R
    Factors That Influence the Commitment of Members to Their Cooperative Organization Joan R. Fulton and Wiktor L. Adamowicz This research explores the factors that influence the commitment of members to their cooperative organization. Previous empirical and theoretical research is reviewed. The cooperative members' decisions regarding patronage are then described intermsofa random utilitymodel. Logit analysis, withdatafrom member surveys of a large grain marketing cooperative. indicates that the factors that influence member patronage are: the ability to share in profits through dividends. the ability to purchase chemicals and fertilizers at the grain elevator, and the percentage of the total farm income obtained from grain operations. There is some evidence that farmers' patronage is positively associated with competitive grain pricing and negatively associated with the firm being active in the community. Additional analysis reveals that the age ofthe farmer significantly affects the impor­ tance the member places on the ability to share in profits through dividends. Member commitmenthas historically been an essential ingredient in the survival of cooperatives. and it continues to be important today. Knapp notes that manyofthe early grain marketing cooperatives met their demise when competing. profit-oriented grain companies would temporarily cut their margins. offer a better price to farmers for their grain. and thereby attract farmers away from the cooperative. A grain marketing cooperative in Rockwell. Iowa. provides an example of a successful counterstrategy (Fowke. p. 131; Knapp. pp. 76-77). To counteract the predatory pricing practices of its competitors the cooperative used a penalty clause that eliminated anyshort-term advantages to members defecting from the coop­ erative. This practice of using penalty clauses to ensure member loyalty was used by some early cooperatives but did not evolve into a standard.
