The cooperative distribution
program. through which food chair
stores rendered practical farm reliei
to millions Of farmers and cattle
FaiseTs IN the last few months, was
a demonstration Of business prin-
eiples applied TO farming.
With two successful producer
consumer campaigns completed and
another now under way, major chain
store companies Of the nation have
joined hands with the National Co
operative Council, representing a.
600 marketing eooperatiVes, to bring
about a more efficient and profitable
distribution Of farm products.
According to John A. Logan, exec
utive vice president Of the Food and
Grocery Chain Stores OF America,
+The program is designed to bring
the farmer a fairer return for his
labOrs, by increasing consumption
Of his surplus crops under a mark
citing agreement which agricultural
leaders hail as 'an economic land
mark At the same time, the con-
sumer is benefited by bringing him
farm products at reasonable prices

first tested last Spring when CalifOr-
mia peach growers found themselves
confronted with a tremendous car
ry-Over from the previous season, a
huge crop ripening on the trees. and
no great demand for canned peach

Marshalling their huge distribu-
