SOUND POLICY

An example of agricultural mar
keting cooperation at its best is
found In the Dairymen's League
Cooperative Association of New
York, pioneer in the great Eas-
tern milk shed.
The treasurer of the Association
announced that it is now paying
off over $2,300,0O0 worth of Ger
tificates of Indebtedness which are
not due until 1914 and 1945. In ad-
dition, it will also pay SAT- 900 of
interest coupons now due on all
outstanding series of Certificates.
ut is important in a period like
the present" the treasurer said,
when all business is facing the
uncertainties of war and the poss-
ibility of a future economic up
heaval, that an organization like
the Dairymen's League maintain
itself in the strongest possible fl
position"
That is the kind of policy all
farm groups should follow. 1t is
the kind of policy which makes for
progress and profit for agricul-
Lure.
