CO-OPERATIVE MOVEMENT IN DENMARK 171 In 1939 the turnover of the co-operative stores and their or- ganisations amounted to about 20 per cent. of the total turnover of the goods in question. The co-operative dairies handled 91 per cent. of the total volume of milk delivered to all dairies, the private dairies thus taking only 9 per cent. The co-operative butter export organisations handled 52 per cent. of the total Danish exports of butter, 48 per cent. being exported through private firms. The co-operative bacon factories killed 86 per cent. of all pigs handled at the export factories. The co-operative egg export organisations handled 24 per cent. of the total export of eggs from Denmark. 31 per cent. of the exports of meat and cattle were handled by the co-operative cattle export societies. The co-operative feeding-stuff organisations had a turnover corresponding to about 48 per cent. of the total consumption of feeding-stuffs. The Danish co-operative fertilizer organisation covered about 40 per cent. of the total trade in fertilizers for direct consumption. Through the co-operation between producers and consumers of the most important seeds about 40 per cent. of the agricultural consumption of these products were handled. Besides this demonstration of the relative extent of the co- operative movement in various spheres, attention should be called to the membership figures of the existing societies. The figures quoted represent the membership within each individual enter- prise. Taken as a whole the figures added together, therefore, do not show that there are so many different members as a very large part are members of more than one of the societies. On the other hand the membership figures, especially of widely ramified local organisations such as co-operative stores and co-operative dairies, may supply a fairly reliable basis for estimating the num- ber of persons who are members in one form or another of the Danish co-operative movement. In this way the figure may be put at something over 400.000. In view of the facts that the majo- rity of these members represent a household, and that there are about 950.000 households in Denmark, this means that between 4° and 45 per cent. of the population in some way or another belong to a co-operative society. Hence it may be established that the co-operative movement
