PASADENA. Calf. Nov. 23.-
Australian scientists have dis
covered a new and better way to
produce rain artificially. The
method is so surprisingly simple
it's a wonder nobody thought of
lit before.
All they do is spray low-hang-
ing clouds with water. It's like
fighting fire with flre-only with
reverse English. The system Is so
effective it takes merely l ton of
water sprayed on the base Of a
rain cloud to produce million
tons of rain.

COOP GROUP HEADS
STUDY POWER SHORTAGE

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(CNS) y
AS electric power production drew
to critical deficiency because of
the increased demand for defense
purposes, managers of REA-financed
electric co-operatives from all parts
of the country met here to see what
they could do about it.
Meeting with technicians from
REA, the coop leaders studied
methods of squeezing the last kilo-
watt-hour out of the rural power
systems, to help maintain adequate
food supplies in the present emer-
gency.
According to latest reports, there
will virtually be no change in the
peak power load for 1851, as pre-
viously estimated, but the load in
1852 will be about per cent great
Ell, and per cent create" in both
1858 and 1854. Particularly hard
hit now is the Pacific Northwest
and parts of the Southeast, where
severe drought has cut down the out
put of hydro-electric plants.

supplies of parts in the past, it was
not feasible to launch a program
of supplying the heavy equipment
needs of this region. The Cockshutt
agreement plus the opening of parts
warehouses at Great Falls and Will
ston now makes it possible for local
co-operatives to favorably consider
supplying all the machinery and
servicing needs of their farmer-pat-
rons.
Indicating the Importance of
availability of parts and expert
servicing, Robinson cited Farm
ers Union Oil of Havre which, in
a little over a year has had ten
fold increase in machinery sales
since they put in a parts and SER
vicing department.
In the Dakotas, various local CO.
operatives which have set up parts
and servicing departments have de-
veloped annual machinery sales vol
umes of 100000 within a very short
period of time.
Minimum local coop inventory of
parts for self-propelled combines is
about $1,000; for power mowers,
$3.50, and for tillers, ETC., $500.
SPEND MOST MONEY
ON MACHINERY
Cockshutt representative Hill, in
outlining sales methods that have
made his company's implements one
of the "big four" in sales through
out western Canada, stressed that
farmers spend more money on ma
chinery than anything else except |
possibly their land. That since this
is the case, it is a natural" for farm
ers to develop ways and means of
their implement needs with
out paying several profits between
and themselves.
Success in building sales volume,
Hill pointed out, is dependent upon
several factors: quality product, per-
sonable sales personnel who know
their product, ample outdoor display
space, and immediate availability
If parts and expert repairmen.
Of these, Hill said, the latter is
the most important of all
since farmers will not risk delays
Turing the cropping season because

90 employees, but, today, in two

Montana Farmers Union State Of
flee building at $50 Southwest 9Th
Exploration of the farm imple-
ment field, its pitfalls, the substant-
ial financial benefits to be achieved
from cooperative distribution of
equipment, was led off by talks by
Verne Robinson, FUCE machinery
division manager, and James Hill,
sales manager for Cockshutt Plow
Works of Brantford, Ontario.
Several months ago the Exchange
and the National Association of Co.
operatives entered a distribution
agreement with the Cockshutt COM
pany taking over sole agency status
for the machinery firm in Montana
and other areas of the northwest.
FIRST ENTERED FIELD
IN 1885
Reviewing events leading up to the
Cockshutt arrangements, Robinson
told his audience that FUCE first
began handling some machinery in
1885, and that in the years since,
much progress has been made toward |
the time when farmers would be able !
to supply themselves with top quality
and repair service. FUCE
has been assembling various sizes of
Coop tractors for number of years,
as well as distributing many types of
tools particularly adapted to the mid

dustry generally, as we'll as in the
regional co-ops st. Paul laboratory.
He spent some time explaining the
Importance of "additives" that are
being placed in motor oils to ensure
finer fabrication and greater endur-
anCe, and in the answering of many
questions from the audience. FUCE
Cenex and Heavy Duty Cenex motor
oils, Wagner advised, are today sec
ond to none in giving long life per-
Torrance to tractor, truck and car
engines.
Of special interest to diesel oper-
ators was Wagner's statement that
FUCE summer diesel fuel has the
lowest sulphur content of any diesel
fuel used in Montana, and that the
coop refinery winter diesel is as low
in sulphur as any in the region.
Attesting the wide favor coop
motor oils are finding with northwest
rural people, Wagner stated that al
though the coop is a relatively small
member of the oil industry, annual
sales of coop motor oil are running
from 2.5 to 2.7 million gallons.
NEW PLANTS FOUNDATION is
100 PER CENT COMPLETE
F. A. Thomson, refinery head,
stated that foundations for the co-op's
new catalytic cracking plant at Laurel
are now complete. Engineering work
on the new plant and purchases of |
material for the plant are practically
completed, and material deliveries
are pretty much on schedule. The
contractor figures to have the Job
by July, 1852.
Completion of the new plant will
find it's patron owners having an in
vestment of approximately $1,000
900 at Laurel. Of this, $75O,OOO
the original purchase price
in March, 1913 for the Laurelleaf
refinery and a number of retail sta
ions. Owning and operating the
plant had earned the farmer-owners
81 100000 up to the end of 1850.
Completion of the new plant will
ind the Exchange able to consider
IDLY increase its output of petroleum
and because of increased
7olume, cheaper production costs for
gasoline. The new plant will have

Ter day, as compared with $500 in

1000 barrels of gasoline daily COM
