BEAN GROWERS SUFFER
LACK OF COST FIGURES

East Lansing, Oct. 9.-Michigan
bean growers who are asking for a
protective tariff on Japanese beans in
order that the homegrown product
may be protected from the unfair
competition of cheap foreign labor,
find themselves at serious disadvan-
tage because Of the fact that accurate
cost of production figures are not
available.
If the Michigan growers, and those
from other states who will appear be-
fore federal committee this month
to demand protection for their pro-
ducts, had definite figures to show ex-
actly what it costs them to grow
beans, their chances of getting the
legislation they want would be great
ly increased.
Michigan farmers are not likely to
be caught. in such positions in the fu-
ture," says Charles H. Graves, Farm
Management Specialist atTthe Michi-
gan Agricultural College. "AlI over
the State growers are coming to real
ize the need for definite cost figures,
and the use of farm account books will
provide them in the future with Just
such facts as they want now in the
bean situation"

COOPERATIVE SHIPPING ASSO
CIATION FOR OWOSSO

A question of a cooperative Live
Stock Shipping Association for Owos-
so is matter that is being quite gen.
orally discussed by the farmers. The
organization of such an association
has been thought necessary for some
time. With the shipping season OPEN
ing up the need is becoming quite i'm
perative.
The region north and west of Owos-
so is practically the only area in the
county that is not already served by
one of these associations.
Without an exception the different
cooperative concerns are saving
hundreds of dollars to the farmers in
the regions where they are operating.
The success in these different places
has made the necessity for one in
Owosso felt very keenly by the farm
ers who naturally market at this CEN
tral point.
Monday, October 13, Mr.. George
G. Raviller, State Organizer of Live
Stock Shipping Associations, will
spend the day in the county and an
attempt will be made to hold meet
ing on the evening Of that date. The
place for the meeting will be an
nounced later either through the local
press or by persons interested in the
different localities surrounding the
city.
The Farm Bureau office is at the
service of anyone who wishes tn in
quire relative to this matter.
