The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1939-11-16
MT. LAKE PARK

week we have heard great deal of ar
guing on the Southern and Eastern
Cooperatives. The Eastern Coop in
terested US because it takes in our
section here. In Oakland it is the
Southern. When we began to find out
something about it we just happened
to hit those who were "agin" it. The
time was too short to get the other
side, but perhaps after this is read we
shall be forced to hear the others.
After all there is always two sides
to any question, so here is what we
learned from several farmers and
dairymen:
Their contention was that for years
they have been buying their feed from
the local dealers of the county and
that they expect to continue to do so,
for, said they, eve can buy it cheaper
from our own people and the money
stays here. The dealers have been good
to us and we are satisfied and can see
no reason for a change
There was much 1hore-facts and
figures which at the moment we were
unable to grasp, but the main thing
was that these men all felt they were
right. Next week we will try to get
the other side, if you are interested.
