Since a Credit Society has been suggested as an
organisation to be set up by the side of the renting society,
it may not be amiss to urge once more due provision ta
be made, right at the outset, for co-operative buying, of
farm and domestic requisites aHke, for co-operative sale
of produce, and for combination for work such as has
been spoken of in connection with the associations syndi-
cates of France. There is also Hkely to be room for com-
mon purchase of implements and machinery intended for
common use — such as is already exemplified by the society
at Kingsthorpe, owning a mowing machine, which is let
out to members. Such common use of machinery — and
not a few implements not ordinarily of daily use on the
same farm — has been found of considerable utility in many
foreign agricultural co-operative organisations. And there
will be no harm in admitting non-members to the use of these
things — at a shghtly higher charge — where the number
of members is not sufficient to give them full employment.
