new CREDIT UNION
SHOWS FAST GROWTH
F. C. A. Employees Project Has
54s Members, With $500
Assets Now.

A growth from II members and
initial capital of $50 to SAB members
and assets of $1,000 in the first six
months of existence, was reported
by the Farm Credit Administration
Employees Credit Union.
w. E. Allen, treasurer, said the
local union is one of 13 such unions
operating among F. c. A. employees
throughout the country. 1t was Or
ganized last May 16 under the District
of Columbia credit union act.
The union, financed by stock sub
scriptions paid for in inStallments,
now is saving at the rate of about
81 500 a month. Up to November 80
it had made 178 loans totaling $4,000
and had collected interest totaling
$132 plus $3.50 entrance fees, Allen
said.
Loans were made only to F. c. A.
employees and the interest rate
charged is 1 per cent per month
The loans have been used for such
purposes as the refinancing and con.
solidation of debts. hospital expenses
doctor bills, expense of moving fam
lilies to Washington, and for the pur-
chase of necessities at discount for
cash, such as coal and furniture.

RESEARCH AND
THE DAIRY FARMER

Scientific research is putting on
increased pressure to help drive de-
preston from the dairy farm. 1t is
being applied to the dairy farmers
major problem -OverproductiOn. 1t
is developing new uses for milk and
its products. Such new uses opened
new markets for milk in the past
and will open many additional new
markets in the future. More than 100
new uses for milk and milk pro-
ducts have been developed in the
last 75 years. The most significant
developments are now coming from
the laboratories of the leading pro-
cessOrs and distributors of milk.
II was scientific research thai
made il possible for the farmers
product to be sold in evaporatCd
form, in condensed form. in powder
ed form and to he marketed as malt
ed and as acidolphilus milk. Each
one of these new forms, when it was
first developed. meant a substantial
new market.
There was a time when research
was largely dependent upon individ-
ual effort. In 1856 an inventor, Gail
Borden. worked almost single-hand-
ed to develop a process for the con
densing of fluid milk-the first
method of preserving the product.
Today. however. when milk pro-
ductiOn has grown to tremendous
proportions, il is no longer the work
of one or two individuals to develop
new products Often the completion
of a single piece of research takes
years of time and the combined eff
fCrts of many people. with the finan-
cial backing and collective facilities
of large companies.
The 1882 production figure of pow
dered skim milk was approximately
seven times the volume for 1922
while during the same period there
was an increase of about four times
in the production of casein. One of
the most recent uses developed for
powdered milk is a fish food which
has been rendered insoluble in wa
ter. The importance of this develop
ment may be judged by the fact that
6O,000,000 domestically raised gold
fish are sold in the United States
annually and that about one family
in every II has an aquarium.
The large number of industrial
uses for casein have been the re-
suit of intensive research. Casein
glue is one of the strongest adhe-
sives known to science today. Case
in is likewise used by the automo-
bile industry, in the making of lea
ther and of oil cloth, and solidified
casein is made into buttons, beads.
combs, cigarette holders, fountain
pen barrels, pipe stems. radio parts,
etc.
Milk sugar, or lactose, promises
increased sales in the future.
Truly, research men are allies of
The farmer. Science and humanity
benefit from their efforts but the far
mer benefits most of all since every |
new use for milk means a larger
potential market for what he has to
SELL
