STEEL TRUST HOPES TO

Cooperative Farm for En-

The farm, which formerly contained
5000 acre. Of fertile soil was purchased

AN extent that the project was abandoned.
The corporation purchased several
thousand head OF cattle and pigs two
years ago and partly stocked the farm.
Several thousand acres OF grain and po-
tatoes were planted. The venture was a
pronounced success and the cooperative
idea was tested in nearby territory. Po-
tato.s to the amount Of several thousands
of bushels were sold to employees at 50
cents "A bushel while the market price was
81 for potatoes of inferior quality.
Encouraged by the success Of the ex-
