THREE MILLION FARM
COOPERATORS

Agricultural cooperatives are as
much a part of our American system
of free enterprise as any other form
of busienss," says mimeographed
report on the prospects for these ag-
encies in the postwar period prepared
by an inter-bureau committee of the
u. S. Department of Agriculture.
1.-The fundamental characteristics of
an agricultural cooperative is that
it is operated for the mutual benefit
of it's members, not as stockholders
but as patrons. Advantages to a
member accrue primarily through
his patronage with the association
and not because of any financial in
yestment he may have made"
AS the war was drawing to close
the committee noted that there were
more than 10000 farmer-owned
and farmer-controlled cooperative
associations and mutual companies
operating in the United States. OF
these, more than 10000 were engag-
ed in marketing farm products and
purchasing farm supplies. Included
in tkis total are approximately 4,4O0
mutual irrigation companies, 1900
farmers mutual insurance compan-
les, 1000 farmers mutual telephone
companies, 500 rural electric coop
eartives, and 500 cooperative frozen
food locker plants. 1t is estimated
that at least 8 million farmers hold
memberships.

"WINTER STORAGE" IN BOATS

An oddity in the reporting of COM
mercial statistics is the item on win
er storage" of grain-mainly wheat
at Buffalo. This is technical term
lnown to the grain trade and repre-
ents grain that is not stored in ele-
ators and their rows of concrete
tanks" but rather, wheat that is
yintered in ships-the 'lake boats"
hat are tied up at Buffalo for the
eason when the Great Lakes are
rozen over and shipping is suspend
ed.
In a current report on Buffalo as
I. grain and -four milling center, the
J. S. Department of Agriculture
lotes that for 1914 the winter stor-
ge' fleet included So vessels and
arried nearly 21 million bushels of
grain into the winter season. These
hip loaded at Upper Lake ports late
n November and early in December
and came through to anchor at Buff
alo with the grain held aboard for
ransfer to elevators during the win
er months. This temporary storage
llows the elevators and mills to dis
.ose of some of their stocks to make
DOM for this winter stored" wheat
-efore navigation opens.
This Department of Agriculture
eport identifies Buffalo as "the lead
lg grain receiving port on the Great
.akes, hence the leading gateway
or grain moving to seaboard. 1t is
lso the leading center for wheat
lour milling in the United States,
'hich puts it in high position in the
reduction of millfeeds."
For 1914 the Buffalo -four mills
,ad a daily capacity of just over
10000 sacks of -four. In 1914 Buff
alo milled about 60,000,00O bushels
( wheat or 100000 bushels a
lonth This was about quarter
,reater than the average for the last
20 years. A little less than quarter
f the grain handled at Buffalo in
944 reached the city by rail and a
title more than three-quarters by
AXE. The lake shipments are fairly
evenly divided between Canadian and
u. S. Wheat Much of the Canadian

STATE COMMENDED in SCRAP
DRIVES

]. A. Krug, chairman of the War
Production Board, has commended
Governor O'Conor and the people of
Maryland for their cooperation in
collecting critical materials during
the war emergency.
He said: without support in the
collection of critical materials such
as scrap iron and steel, waste paper,
tin cans, used household fats and
scrap rubber, production of war ma
terial for the armed forces might
have been delayed and our civilian
economy seriously curtailed."
Maryland led the nation in the
collection of tin and later established
a high mark in the collection of rub
ber and paper.

NOT A GRAIN OF TRUTH

Once again making the rounds is
the hard-to-kill story about wheat
(and other grains) being removed
from ancient tombs and planted and
producing crops. The U. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture says it is such
q good grain story that it is too bad
there Is not grain of truth to it.
Grain removed from vases in tombs
is practically carbonized from age
and exposure and is just as dead as
the mummies of those who were pro-
vided with the grain as a sort of X
ration for their trips to and through
worlds beyond this one.

THE LAST BATTLE
BY j. Il. Jones

Washington, D. c., September "a
-Tke last battle of the war-the
battle to win the peace-has yet to
be won. The winning of this battle
will require the combined efforts of
management, labor and government,
just as those forces cooperated to
win the battles that have brought de-
feat to our enemies.
A sound peacetime economy will
depend, as Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., chair
man of General Motors, says, upon
our ability to build more and better
things for more people. General Mo
tors and industry as whole today
are blowing millions of capital back
into the establishment of a produc-
lion machine to meet the needs of
peace. President Truman has indicat-
ed clearly his consciousness of TIE
need to reconvert quickly and effec-
lively.
Thus, we have a picture of man.
agement and government working to
insure our future, while labor lead
ers give the impression of being in
terested only in the present. This is
not the teamwork that is required to
win the battle ahead. Strikes at this
time which delay our return to peace
time production can be just as dam
aging as those which hampered our
preparation for war and the prosecu-
lion of the shooting war.
Only an honor student in the
school of stupidity can fail to see the
need of cooperation now in order to
build UP a production machine to
.upply our millions of returning vet
Grams and ration-ridden civilians
with clothing, shoes, transportation,
refrigerators, washing machines, ra-
dos, and hundreds of other goods
and services. The average American
workman cannot feel differently
about this need than does the public
emily than TIE average stockholder
but his leaders are painting him in
an extremely bad light by asserting
leadership in the wrong direction.
We promised the men and women
in our armed forces jobs and bet
ter place to live. This promise can
and must be fulfilled. They have won
all the battles up to now for us. II
is up to us to win the last battle fol-
them. Labor leaders must recognize
this at once and accept their share
of the responsibility.

THE HYBRID CORN SCORE

Nearly two acres out of every
three (S41 percent) of the corn crop
this year have been planted to hybrid
corn, according to the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture estimate prepar-
ed by the Bureau of Agricultural Ec-
onomics. In the Corn Belt proper the
proportion Is much greater.
Ten states have more than rs per
cent of their corn acreage in hybrid
corn this year. These are: Iowa, ap-
proximately 100 per cent; Illinois
and Indiana, 98; Okio, 90; Minneso-
ia, 81; Wisconsin, SO; Missouri, SS;
Nebraska, IS; Michigan, so; and
New Jersey, 76 per cent.
Ten years ago, the Bureau est1-
mates, the hybrid corn acreage was
IL per cent, or 1,140,000 acres, as
compared with 6O,347,00O acres in
1945.

What We Don't Want

The United States cannot possibly
dig itself out of it's foxkoles by get
ting behind any kind of purely poll
iical proposals by either Democrats
or Republicans.
What we need is old-fashioned
comparison commonsense!
There are strikes and rumors of
strikes in our principal industries
and the strike leaders are depending
upon their political pull to win their
civilian war.
Labor and management are on an
equal footing right now, and it is up
to them to agree upon problems and
differences, in the interests of Amer
ica.
We don't want any politics in this
situation to string out the final
settlements.
