versity, headed by one of the most
eloquent advocates of cooperation In
the Dominion, provides lecture and
extension courses in this field.
Thus the record of Saskatchewan
co-operators is clear, and he who runs
may read. For the duration Of the
war the organization of new petro-
leum co-operatives has been banned
by the federal oil controller as pc
troleum conservation measure. This
however will provide the established
ASSOCIATIONS with an opportunity to
consolidate their position. In the
meantime, the major undertaking at
hand is the cooperative machinery
program, and on the horizon is the
inception of an integrated store plan
to meet the growing demand for in
creased cooperative activity in this
field

sumers' Cooperative Refineries of Re-
gina effected savings of $245,S63 for
its neutrality-suspicious..
A noteworthy result Of the estab.
lishment of this refinery is that Sas-
katchewan is the only area on the
North American continent in which
co-operators post their own prices for
petroleum products. The new coop
erative price structure is based on
refining values at Regina, plus freight
to the various points.
Saskatchewan co-operatives last
year took the lead in promoting the
incorporation of Canadian Co-opera-
tive Implements Limited, an organi-
cation designed to distribute farm
machinery on a cooperative basis
throughout the three prairie provinces
of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and AL
berta.
Consumers co-operatiyes in Sas-
katchewan Cooperative Wholesale
Society, which for the year ending
March 81, 1871, had sales amounting
W RAJLADtOUU anu llOI
of $74,0S9. Formed in 1929 by 29 as
sociations, each of which contributed
500 in capital, sales of the organi-
cation since it's inception have totaled
almost nine million dollars, and on
March 81 assets exceeded liabilities
by $253,S70.
The Wholesale Society, by acquir-
ing half interest in a coal mine
last year, became the first co-opera-
tive on the continent to enter the
coal production field. Saskatchewan
co-operators also own and operate
the first and only cooperative flour
mill in Canada. The province has one
cooperative cannery, many co-opera-
tive community halls and grazing as
sociations, and 81 cooperative stores.
OF the latter, some are among the
finest stores in the province. One
large store, located at Lloydminster,

chased from sub-marginal farmers,
who were bankrupt, who had not paid
taxes for years, and who were living
on starvation level because their I'M
economic use of the land and unsound
range management made them certain
victims of drouth and depression.
There, as in Montana, the govern
ment reorganized the range into dis
tricts where a long term program of
range management and range i'm
provement is carried out. And also,
as in Montana, the grazing lands are
leased out to cooperative grazing as
sociations that agree to use the lands
according to sound grazing practices
| to insure conservation. But there,
unlike Montana, membership in the
associations and use of the ranges in
the grazing districts are limited to
those operators with $50 animal units
or less.
The soil conservation service has
calculated the number of families, on
family-sized ranches, that the district
will support and by establishing a
maximum of $50 units per family, is
seeking to keep as many families in
the area as can make a good living in
the long run, but no more. The land
is owned by the government as in
the old days of public domain, but
the wasteful methods of grazing
have been eliminated The land is
used by the ranchers, dealing with
the government comparatively through
their own associations. And one-fourth
of the revenue that the government
gets from grazing fees goes to the
counties in place of the taxes that,
when the land was owned privately,
were too often not collected at all
But the most significant part of the
whole program is the top limit of
800 animal units for the ranchers par
ticipating in the program, so that the
land is to be used by as many families
as it will support and not by a few
large scale spectators in the stock
business.
The North Dakota program is
worthy of study because it shows that
the idea of the family-sized farm, or
the family sized ranch, can be made
to work out in the stock business
And it should be obvious that COM
munity cannot have good business un-
less it has self-supporting families,
who need groceries, clothes, entertain
ment and all theother things in a
decent standard of living, which must
be bought with money that people
earn in sound productive enterprises.
1t would seem reasonable to suppose
that if all lands were used by families
working family-sized units more of
the earnings from the soil would have
to be spent locally and local business
would have a sound economic base.

of 325 barrels. The major operations
in this field are in the south extern
sion. There are nineteen drilling
wells and four new locations The
daily average production for the Cut

most south location in the area in
Sec. 17-31N-5W, which is being

In the Kevin-Sunburst field there
were two dry holes and one small gas
we'll completed. There are eight drill
ing wells in the field proper. The
daily average production for the field
is 5000 barrels.
There were no competitions of in

 State Capitol, Hartford. April 26 Tho State Senate yesterday after noon unanimously elected Senator Michael V. Blansfield of Waterbury as It's membre on @ committee of conference to meet with two House members in an effort to adjust diff ferences between the two chambers on a bill allowing certain corpora tons to use the words banks" of "banking' in their titles.
 The bill would permit firms which are not banks but which are ac- cCpted for membership in certain banking organizations to label themselves as banks or advertise as being in the banking business.
 The House passed the measure last week. When 1t came to the Senate, Senator Blansf1eld said that although the banks committee, Of which he is chairman, had approv- cd the bill, he was personally op- posed to 1t. He declared that the pro- visions of the bill were too sweep ing and might have unfortunate re- suits for the public. Swayed by his arguments. the Senate rejected the bill.
