F. C. A. MAKES
LOANS TO
VETERANS

Since Pearl Harbor more than a
thousand returning veterans have re-
sumed their farming operations or
become farmers and obtained produc-
ton loans from their local co-opera-
tive production credit associations, ac-
cording to survey by the Farm
Credit Administration in nine of the
II districts. Approximately 1,500 loans
were made to these veterans, accord
ing to l. w Duggan, governor of the
Farm Credit Administration, involv-
ing credit of about s6,500,000.
This preliminary survey indicates
a tendency of returning veterans to
become quickly oriented to the nor
NAL relationships and to use the usual
channels of credit afforded by their
permanent cooperative production
credit associations. They have again
integrated their activities with those
of their neighbors.
In some instances the farms of vet
Grams have been operated for them
in their absence by relatives or
agents, and they are merely taking
hold where they left off, with the pro-
duction credit associations having con-
tinued their financing in the interim.

DECISIONS
IMP0R
TO C0-OPS
BY JOHN CARSON

WASHINGTON (CLNS)-The Unit
ed States Tax Court has destroyed
one of the DOGGY men" of the Ma
tional Tax Equality Association The
court has confirmed again the long
esta blished rights of cooperative cor
porations, and of profit business cor
porations also, to make "tax free to
the corporation, return of overcharges
to patrons, where the corporation is
compelled by it's bylaws to return the
money saved.
The opinion of the court was given
in a case brought against United Co.
operatives Inc, of Alliance, Ohio, by
the Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. The commissioner, acting for
the government, sought to collect in
come taxes on the gross income of
United Co-operatives for the years
1887, 1888, and 1899 United Cooper
atives contended for the right to de-
duct, from its gross income, the
amounts returned to patrons, before
payment of taxes on the met income"
of the corporation.
The opinion of the court skaters
the propaganda of the NTEA which
has been collecting "membership-mon
ey" on the contention that there is
no difference between the profit dol
lar and the savings dollar, and that
cooperative savings" could be and
should be subjected to the federal in
come tax laws. No authority in the
income tax field agreed, at any time,
with the NTEA propaganda. But
NTEA, if it wishes to be honorable,
must now report this new opinion to
its prospective contributors and must
admit that its propaganda already
printed and disturbed is entirely dis
credited.
The decision of the court may be
appealed to the supreme court by the
commissioner. He may not appeal it,
and accept it as a controlling prece-
dent by announcing his "acquies-
cence". He may also just accept the
decision as applying to this particular
case and not accept it as a controlling
precedent.
The right of co-oberatives to return,
tax free, patronage savings has
never been doubted by tax authorities
in Washington. The fear built up in
some minds, including the minds of
some co-operators, that NTEA might
be successful in a campaign on this
issue, and thus destroy the right to
return overcharges has not been justi-
fled. Therefore, the decision of the
court on this point was not surprising.
But on phases of this legal problem,
there were precedental points in the
opinion.

which fell to them, and how the farm
ers were able to feed the people of
the Soviet Union with their richest
lands in enemy hands.
While many farmers and their fam
lilies migrated to other regions of the
Soviet Union, to farm in safety, a
large percentage of farmers joined
the partisans who operated with ire
mendous success in occupied terri
tory. Maintaining direct contact with
Red Army units, partisan detach.
ments played vital role in prevent
ing the utilization of Soviet farm
areas by the Germans.
According to an estimate made by
Professor M. L. Wilson, director of
Extension Work, T. S. Department of
Agriculture, Soviet farmers during the
nazi drive lost farm territory equal
in Importance to Ohio, Indiana, Illi-
nois, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, and
southern Minnesota in the United
States. An area of 100000 square
miles of Russia, including farm lands
producing 40 percent of Russia's farm
output was occupied, according to Miss
Strong.
In the pamphlet she shows how
whole farm populations of devastated
areas moved into the southern and
eastern part of the Soviet Union and
started developing collective farms
using the seed, machinery and live
stock they carried with them.
In conclusion, Miss Strong has
delved into the problems of restoring
the devastated areas, and has dis
cussed the restoration work already
under progress in areas which have
been liberated by the Red Army.
Seed, livestock, harvesters, tractors,
building materials, fuel spare machin-
cry parts, and skilled labor are pour
ing into the ruined land. AS it has
been RACED to the ground by the in
vaders, it will be rebuilt from the
ground by the Soviet farmers.

FINANCIAL
CONDITION OF
C0-OPS GOOD

The better financial position of CO.
operatives generally is reflected in
the reports of the 10 banks for CO.
operatives. S. d. Sanders, Co-opera-
tive Bank Commissioner, reported on
June 30, 1914, that for the year ended
on that date, 1928 farmer co-opera-
tives had used the facilities of the
banks, whereas II months earlier the
number of borrowers was 1,476. "This
decrease in the number of borrowing
associations" said Mr.. Sanders, sis
because many smaller co-operatives
are taking advantage of favorable
agricultural conditions and becoming
debt-free. This is directly in line with
the policy the banks have always
urged; namely, the desirability of re-
firing Indebtedness as rapidly as con-
ditions permit. Although the large
marketing and processing co-opera-
tives have also made substantial pro-
gress in strengthening their financial
positions, particularly in the rapid re-
tirement of term Indebtedness, the
wartime volume of products handled
and processed by them, together with
the generally increased price level
has been of such size as to require
large sums of short-term operating
capital"
Through their loans the 13 banks
for co-operatives have added material
ly in wartime production, processing,
and distribution of food, fibers, and
oils. They have also been of much
aid to supply co-operatives distribute
ing feeds, seeds, fertilizer, lumber, ma
chinery, paint, coal, petroleum, and
other supplies.
Mr.. Sanders also said that from
the date of the organization of the
banks in 1888 to June 80, 1914, farm
ers' co-operatives have obtained credit |
from them totaling SLIGO, 1851, 062, in
GLIDING CCC documents purchased.
On June 80, 1914, 90.6 per cent of
this amount had been repaid, 9.2 per-
cent was still outstanding, four one
of 1 per cent was included
n liquidation of accounts, and thir-
cen one-hundredths of i per cent had
been charged off as uncollectable.
For the fiscal year ended June 80,
L944, the 10 banks advanced credit
mounting to $471.25O,59S.

edge due to his vanQuishing Jersey
two weeks ago in the Barbara
Worth links finals.
Checking over the contenders for
the title we find Les Rogers given
a slight nod over E. wentworth,
this may be due to the former
having won the border tournament
in 1912.
Blalack may encounter some trou-
