Coop Policy

Cooperat i've policy in Greenbelt was clarified
last week at the quarterly meeting Greenbel Con-
sumer Services. On the agenda three contro-
vers1a1 propositions the projected increase in the
price of haircuts, sing in the Cooperat or
and opening of Variety Store in the empty
store space under the Town Admin stration office.
The first Item was clearly presented as problem

been considered inadequate though they topped
union standards. Despite this the barber shop was

being told in floor d ssion thai this was clear
and simple issue of whether the custoneromers
willing to take money out of their pockets to
pay better wages.

Consumer Services it will see that the co-ops are
putting into practice the fair labor and wage policy
they talk about.

WILL CONDUCT CORN
VARIETY TEST HERE

A corn variety test and DEM
onstration is being conducted
this year by George Zinne in
cooperation with the county ex-
tension office, it was announced
here this week. The purpose of
the test is to determine the rel
alive merits of a number of var
ieties of corn being raised in
and recommended for Montana.
Included in the varieties are
ofur nybrids among which are
minhybrid, three strains of De-
kalb, KinNscrosts and Mon
tana wealth. These are tested
against pollinated varieties such
as Falconer, Minnesota 10,
Paynes White Dent, and Silver
King, which are the common
varieties raised in the state. The
different varieties are checked
for weight of corn and weight
of dry fodder at maturity.
Results obtained in former
tests of this kind have not yet
found a hybrid that is superior
to the common strains of Min
nesota 10 and Falconer, it was
stated. Information obtained
through the tests conducted this
year will add further to the re-
suits already obtained in the
past.
