A HAPPY NEW YEAR
x

New Year, and suppose that we stop
a moment enc take an inventory Of
tie acc omp 1shments Of the pa st
year ana consider plans for the
coming year. When we cons ider the
Valley as a whole and the Cooper
ative In parti cular, the impress on
made upon US is, that We have made
large me terial and educational
gains. Considering the material
side, we have for the first time in
the history Of the Colony, found
markets that were very profitable
for practi cally everything that We
have to. sell. This is certainly q
contrast to the five lean years,
when most products were sold at
less than cost, and some could not
be sole at all. Ill Indications
point to the largest volume Of bus
mess for the different consumer
and producer units in the Coopera-
tive.
All repayments on loans and in
terest were made on or before the
cue date ano the cash reserves are
the largest ever. Collie ct ons on
past due accounts are good, more
members are establishing good cred
it rating that will enable the MAN.
egement to extend further credit
for production purposes.
All in all we can look forward
to q even better year in l943 and
hope that larger farm production
can be gotten from the farms in tn e
Valley. The worst handi cap that
the average farmer faces is the
immense Indebtedness on the land,
and, unless there is s ONE indica-
ton Of an ad jus tine Mt on this item
in the near future, we may even
lose SO many farmers that product
ION Will be even less instead Of
more. Promi ses Of action on this
phase Of the question have been
made but so far nothing has been
done.
