What is Cooperation?
Perhaps there is no word in the
English language that Is being more
used Just now in gatherings ~ farm
lers or that means more TO the farming
industry than Cooperation What
is degeneration ," We have heard the
word used casually when apparently
those who listened did not grasp its
full significance. We have also heard
many attempts 20 define IL. L. j. our
opinion that George A. Mansfield,
president Of the Oregon Farm Bureau
Federation. ha. broad and real con-
coption VI what Cooperation means.
Here Is how he defines IL:
"Roal corporation Is not something
that can he written down o q fixed
rule % follow. Il must be written in
