Attitude in Contrast.
Miss Schnurr spoke particularly of
the LOYALTY Of the Danish farmers to
their cooperative farming crganiza-
lions. explaining. that in the United
states the attitude of the average
farmer seems TO be more that OF
critic than a helper of his cooperative
organization. Danish farmers. she de-
ciared, are eager TO have their products
I'D to the required standards and MAIN
tain a good price for their output and
as a result Denmark has a monopoly IN
dairy and swine products in Denmark
and Great Britain.
