Extravaganza is met at every turn.
Thousands of dollars, as shown by the

IN the last report.
1t is gratifying to know that the
county tax rate for the present levy
is reduced by the small trife of two

And so it is foolish to say farmers
will not cooperate.
The danger is that cooperation will
grow too fast. 1t is no universal pam

fails when it attempts to displace

It won't sell poor product for
high price. There are those who say
that cooperative organization to be
permanently successful but spring
from economic necessity. In other
words the producers must know that
sticking together is their salvation.
Then, when cooperation improves the
quality or renders real service in
distribution, bringing with it a fair
proportion of the consumers dollar, it
becomes a vital force.
