COLLEGES TEACH
PRODUCER COOPERATION

Courses in cooperative production
and marketing are taught in 45 Out
of the As state agricultural colleges
in the United States. according to
the Dairymen's League News. The
number of students in these courses
this year greatly exceeds all previ-
GUS enrolment.
W. l. Myers, governor of the Farm
Credit Administration, has said that
this is probably the most intensive
organized effort on behalf of agri-
cultural cooperation ever undertaken
in this or any other nation.
The course given in the colleges
include proper accounting methods,
the history of cooperative marketing,
the study of management problems.
etc. Furthermore, several hundred
high schools have agricultural class
es and courses dealing with the farm
coOperatives.
Out of all this will come a sOunder.
better informed and more prosper
GUS farming population. When the
budding farmer completes college
and is ready to go to work. he will
have an infinitely greater knowledge
of the problems that face agriculture
and their possible solution than did
his fOrebears. And he will realize
that the greatest vehicle of progress
agriculture agriculture possesses is
business-like producer cooperation.
