Competition Strengthens
COOperatives

Some wise words on the agricul-
tUral cooperative movement are
found in the Dairymen's League
News, the organ Of the Dairymen's
League Cooperative Association,
Inc. which was a pioneer in the
Eastern dairy coop field. The News
says: "a
"One Of the reasons why farmers
cooperative marketing organizations
have grown healthfully and become
sound business associations is that
from the start the cooperative move
ment in the United States has been
voluntary effort. In addition, far
mers' cOOperatives have had to meet
stiff competition from the begin
ming. They have had to fight their
way up.
Through cooperative Organiza-
tion the individual farmer increases
his independence and his bargain
ing power and finds a new economic
freedom. When he joins with his fell
lew farmers in cooperative effort, he
helps create a prestige and a bar
gaining power which is able TO
compete and successfully cope with
that Of other organized groups"

WELL-CO0LED PRODUCE
DOES NOT OVERHEAD

Fruits and vegetables stay alive
after they are harvested, and many
OF the characteristic processes Of
growth continue. This is one reason
why scientists of the Bureau Of Plant
Industry are trying constantly 10 I'M
prove refrigeration which makes It
possible to transport fresh fruits and
vegetables. Lower temperature not
only retards multiplication of bac-
terra, mOlds, and other organisms
that cause spOilage. but it also slows
down the life processes of the fruits
and vegetables.
Respiration is one of the more im-
pOrtant of these life processes, and
il creates one of the biggest trans
pOrtatiOn problems, according to D.
F. Fisher, Bureau scientist. Fruits
and vegetables take in oxygen and
liberate carbon dioxide. This is ac-
companied by the breaking down Of
carbohydrates and the evolution Of
heat, and accounts for self-heafing
Of produce under some conditions
1t is possible, Fisher points out,
for a carload df bunch beets or car
rOts from Texas or California to be
so steaming hot on arrival at an
eastern market that It is almost un-
bearable to touch the produce with
the bare hand.
This heat is the result of the respi-
ration Of the beets or carrots, which,
OF course, are spoiled under such
Recent tests by the Bureau show |
that the i'll effects of the heat of res
piratiOn can be avoided almost COM |
pletely if the produce is preceded /
and forwarded under proper transit |
After a good job Of /
the produce will not heat J
itself much and the transit refrig-
Grafton does not need to do much
more than overcome the heat that en-
-ers through the walls, roof, and
lOOr of the car.

Earned social Security"

It would seem that social secur-

sue for a long time TO come Within
the parties there is considerable in
ternai dissension as to what is the
proper program to pursue.
IN the meantime, millions of Am

fectively achieving social security
for themselves without benefit of
government.
They are setting up trust funds
and savings accounts. They are buy
ing life insurance IN Unprecedented
amounts-and more and more of
the insurance sold is of the annuity
type which provides old-age income
as well as protection for depend

This is not an argument against

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Luke warm wash water, luke warm

the bottom is at least as wide as

ever it is, according to the original
measurements, pulling Il into place
and pinning 1t if necessary. Nnit
articles should never be hung up to

them will stretch them out Of shape.
Use luke warm waters of the same
temperature for both washing and
rinsing. For woolens, use much
more water in proportion to their
bulk than for other fabrics. Use
neutral soaps only, preferably in the
form of a solution or jelly. Soap
should not be rubbed directly on the
garment. Squeeze and work the

London BUYING america

1t has been contended by various
stock exchange authorities that the
extremely high margins now requir-
ed by law have unduly restricted Sc
curity trading, caused artificial
market conditions. and made the
stock market "thin" and ''illiquid."
Now, writing in the New York
Times, HaIlam Boyd, says that our
official margin requirements may
have the effect of driving business
i'm American stocks TO the London
market and may even lead to Euro
peans regaining control Of leading
American secuiitiesH Al t.
Mr.. Boyd summons impressive
figures: Investments by foreigners
in U. S. securities at the end OF 1885
totaled over $4,000, 100000 as COM
pared with S4,27O, 100000 at the end
OF 1934-and II is estimated that the
total is now in excess of $6,0OO,90O,-
600.
Commenting, the Times says:
Part Of the foreigners advantage IN
buying American stocks, Mr.. Boyd
believes, came with the deValuation
of the dollar; but differences in
margin requirements now play an
important part. Where the American |
buyer must put up 55 per cont in
cash when he wishes 10 buy Ameri- |
can stocks, the foreign buyer Of our |
securities need put up no more than /
25 per cent cash.. IA further dam
ger is that wealthy Americans are
beginning to trade in our shares in
the London market, where The SEC ]
and the Federal Reserve Board have
no control. Markets tend TO go not
merely where margins are smaller
but where prices are closest
where a trade can be most readily
consumated"
II Is undeniable that strict margin
requirements are necessary, to pre-
vent the type Of speculation that
characterized the 1929 boom period.
But there is grave danger whenever
these requirements threaten to give
foreign purchasers the whip-hand
over securities issued by our Amer
lean corporations.
