CO-OPs MORE COMPLEX

A then and now" comparison OF
cooperatives appears in the Agri-
cultural Situation, published by the
u. S. Department of Agriculture.
"The cooperative associations &C
tive in 1913, the first year for which
national statistics are available,
were small local enterprises serving
a limited area, says George H,
Thomson of the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration. with few exceptions
they were concerned with converting
milk into butter and cheese, receiv-
ing grain and loading cars, assem-
bling and shipping livestock, col
lecting wool in lots large enough to
attract buyers, and operating pack
ing houses for fruits and nuts. A
few cooperatives in the South oper-
ated cotton warehouses, and egg
circles were beginning to appear.
To-day the cooperative pattern
is more complex. The trend has
been from the small local associa-
ton to the larger regional or feder-
ated types of cooperatives. AS late
as 1920 small associations were
handling the greater part of the CO.
operative business. Today there are
some SO declarations, more than 100
large-scale centralized organiza-
tioms, about as many scales and pur-
chsing agencies operating on term
inal markets, and nearly 200 bar
gaining associations"

NEWS In THE WORLD
OF RELIGION
BY w. w. Reid

The Rev. Walter Clarence Wynn,
Negro minister serving the Pond
Street Baptist Church, Providence,
r. l., has been appointed a mis-
sionary of the American Board OF
Commissioners for Foreign Missions
(CongregationaD and will shortly
sail with Mrs. Wynn for Galangue,
West Africa, for educational and
evangelistic service. Galangue Is
one of the outstanding Christian
stations of the west coast of Africa.
1t was opened in 1923 by the Amer
lean Board and is manned entirely
by Negro Missionaries its work Is
supported by Negro Congregational
churches in America. Mr.. Wynn was
born in Jensen, Florida, and edu-
Gated at Florida Agricultural and
Mechanical College, and from And
over-Newton Theological Seminary.
Mrs. Wynn was educated at Elmer
son College and at Boston Univer-
sity; and has been teacher of
English and of dramatics.
Improved Wheat No. 1905, devel-
oped by the College of Agriculture
and Forestry of the University of
Marking, was introduced into
Szechwan Province five years ago
by the former Bureau of Rice and
Wheat improvement. 1t has been
doing remarkably we'll there in high
and fertile land, overwhelming the
native variety as high as 46 per
cent, or by an average of 20 per
cent, say missionary agricultural
teachers. 1t is not only good i'm yield,
but also good in quality. 1t gives IL
per cent more -four than the native
variety. Every year the supply of
seed is insufficient to meet the de-
mand. In a few districts the farmers
offered three catties of native
wheat in exchange for one catty of
the improved wheat. According to
estimate of the provincial Bureau of
Agriculture improvement, it brings
am additional annual revenue of
half million dollars to the Pro-
vince.

AUTO OUTPUT REDUCED

A sweeping 48.4 per cent reduc-
tion in passenger automobile pro-
duction for December has been or
dered by the Office of Production
Management and some Government
sources predicted that an even
deeper slash might be expected for
January and succeeding months of
1912.
The curtailment after the first of
the year probably will take the form
of a leveling-off process, pinning
production approximately to the
figure specified by OPM for Decem-
ber-2O4,84S passenger cars, as
compared with 396,823 in Decem-
Der, 1940.

.nEAR SIR:
~ After FL years I have decided
1t was about time 1 apologized TO
you.
From 1914 until 1917 you begged
tho American people TO keep out
of the war and at the time j
called you pro-German and many
other things. but I sure can see
now that you were more American
than any of US.
Why should we take sides with
anybody:
The American people always did
believe in fair play, so why should
we pick on Germany just because
she is knocking the socks off
England:
Germany gave England almost
a year TO defend herself. after
England declared war on Ger
many.
You and I know England will
never be defeated.
The Germans may take the
British Isles but all the English
have to do is move the govern
ment and her feet to Canada and
set up her government there.
No nation or nations can defeat
England with her government in
Canada. and that is what she in
tends to do.
My boy, who will be 81 next
year. just went fishing.
