VITAL SERVICES T oTHE FARMER

An example of the vital services that good CO
operative institutions provide for theirmembers-
services that are not obtainable elsewhere-was pro-
vided during the recent eleventh annual session Of
the American Institute of Cooperation.
Executives Of cooperative dairy associations,
coupled with research experts, made the most
searching probe in 10 years concerning the national
and international outlok f or marketing America s
dairy products,
The probe and the ensuing appraisal included
factors of production; hi trend of consumption ;
the effect Of imports on both dairy products and
competitive oils and fats; the extent to which two
years of operation under federal and state control
has changed market conditions the possible influ-
ence of reciprocal trade agreements upon dairy pro-
ducts, and similar questions which effect the future
welfare of the dairy farmer.
It is impossible to exaggerate the worth Of such
a probe. Leaders Of dairy cooperatives throughout
the country vii be much better prepared to cope
with the marketing and price problems they foce,
and to inform their members as to the best course
Of future action They viii be able to scientifically
develop plans, and to proceed with greater conf
dence and certainty.

A CENTURY OF FACT FINDING

For more than a hunderd years, an insurance
executive recently pointe dout, the institution Of life
insurance has been collecting facts about the af-
fairs Of men-their needs, hopes, dreams and EN-
billions, and the responsibilities they have to cope
with.
The result of that century of effort is that life
insurance is better able to deal with mans financial
problem tina many other agency ever devised. 1t is
the only agency that creates wealth for the individu-
al, h n undertakes its distribution and, finally,
guarantees, the income derived.
A life insurance company, in brief, when it &C
eepts a premium, accepts the entire responsibility for
the investment and care of the wealth deposited
with it. The owner Of the money is automatically
relieved of the worries attendant upon investments
by an acknowledgements that are especially great
when the amount of money involved is relatively
small, and the investor is without the special knowl-
edge and dispassionate, realistic advice that make
for Investment safety. The life insurance company
puts that money to work, SO that it may produce a
return-and, instead Of putting it all in one place,
it distributes it widely, IN government bonds, indus
trial securities, farm and urban mortgages and SO
on. And, lastly, it maintains a vast cash reserve
to insure that it will be able to meet obligations
promptly and in full.
1t is only in recent years that the average per-
son has had an insight into the investment phase of
life insurance. That phase is as important as the
protection phase.

FE REQUISITES OF COOPERATION

According to Earl W. Benjamin, General Man
ager Of the Pacific Egg Producers, there are five
requisites to success in forming and conducting an
agricultural cooperative:
First, qualified executives must be employed to
handle the cooperativeS affairs.
Second, the coop must be soundly and ade.
qua,ely financed.
Third, it should stand on its own legs. meet
competition through advancing the efficiency of Cd.
GRAFTON, and should so far as it is possible avoid de-
pending on governmental subsidies.
Fourth, it should limit its activities strictly to
he business purposes Of the cooperative.
Fifth, 1t should keep all members thoroughly
informed as to what is going on.
As Mr. Benjamin says, cooperatives lacking any
Oh these requisites are doomed to trouble sooner or
later.

drowned In the Anaeostia river,
near here on July II, in the ef-
fort to save two white children

thousand or more dollars raised

" as possible, according to a
statement made BY her this week,
when she was handed $215 raised
by Joe Turner, local fight pro
mOter.
Citizens Of both races have raj
lied to the cause Of raising funds
to aid the family Of the man who
lived a pauper for the last three
years but who died a hero. Bene-

little more than $1,000.
When interviewed in her

When Sterling went to his
death, it seemed that life was not
worth living any more, but the

money just as slow as I can, pay

first time in the history Of How
ard University, the Court of APP
peals today established the status
Of that institution as a private en-

instituted proceedings to recover

contractor on a construction pro

nished.
Attorney George P. Lemm op-
posed the payment under the
bond, claiming that although the
contract had been signed by the
Department Of Interior and the
bond was required under the con-
tract, the university was operated
under a private charter and is not

Every business publication and
commentator seems agreed On this:
The business outlook continues to
improve, with advances especially
noteworthy in the durable goods in
rustries. These heavy industries are
in a better position now than at any
time since depression set in In the
words OF one magazine, "It's a dur
able goods summer"
Here is some specific information:
COPPER-Recent demand excep-
tionally heavy. Tonnage sold in first
half Of July was equal to the quota
for two months under the NRA
code. Frice advances forecast by
some.
MACHINE TOOL-Trem endous
gain registered in dollar volume.
Index recently touched 81 per cent
of the 1926 avearage-best level
since 1929.
MOTORS-Reports continue to be
good. Passenger car sales for the
first half Of the year ran about As
per CEN ahead of the same period
in 1884. In June, Ford sold most
ears for that month since 1880,
Chevrolet surpassed all June records
since 1929.
ELECTRIC POWER ec e mt
month showed highest consumption
since the latter part Of 1881.
STEEL-At 40 per cen Of capac-
ity, a substantial advance over a
few months ago..
RETAIL TRADE-Held steady in
TO the summer, avoiding the usual
seasonal drop.
These serve to illustrate the trend.
Question now is, can advance be con-
tinued?
