Modification of monopoly legislation. — Cooperative Marketing Act (Laws 1915, ch. 64, superseded by Laws 1937, ch. 152), being later than the general antimonopoly statutes, was to be considered as modifying such general statutes, and legalizing organization, management and cooperation of agricultural, nonprofit cooperative associations, in light of trend of recent legislation and judicial construction in other states, and enactment of 57-1-4 NMSA 1978.
