How can a farm afford
the special services it needs?

Farming j.. like any other industry -.
needs the eficiencies and economies of
specialized departments.
The farm business needs a sales de-
partment and purchasing department
someone to counsel on insurance
and credit and many more depart
ments to work out important problems.
If it weren't for cooperatives, most
farmers couldn't afford these special
lied services. Purchasing cooperatives
supply materials and products of high
est quality at lowest possible cost. Mar
keting cooperatives help improve the
quality of produce and sell it at the
most favorable prices. Mutual insur-
ance companies provide protection at
lowest cost. Credit associations lend
money for farm operations.
These cooperatives make farming
more business-like and more profitable.

RURAL ELECTRIC AND
TELEPHONE CO-OPS

Montana rural electrics have ex-
perienced a slow but steady growth
this past year. They are in very good
financial condition and have repaid
approximately $40 million of the
$46,697,000 in loans from REA.
Rural electrics now have in service
26,887 miles of lines which serve
Al ,248 consumers.
Major dark spots ON the electric
