Fay Tooke presided at the business

Mr.. Mathews stressed membership

Indian Reservation should become valuable in the eyes

they wish to erect thereupon dam for purposes of

and dust periods; while there was in
progress a great industrial and tech
biological revolution; and while there
was transition from an economy of
scarcity to one of plenty. Any one or
two of these forces are sufficient to
try the patience of most men. Couple
with this the variation in goals that
comes from the mixed nationality,
religious beliefs and political affilia-
ton typical of agriculture, and the
reasons for augmentation and frag-
mentation are great.
But Montana Farmers Union and
the variety of co-operatives it has
aided, though troubled at times, have
not suffered from such augmentation
and augmentation. The spirit of the
cooperative movement, the ideals of
self-help, and realization that the
job must be done on the grass-roots
level, considering the welfare of all
have been bonds that have tied
farmers and ranchers, government Of
ficials, townspeople and professional
people. The cooperative way has
proven itself in Montana and the
northwest. Without it agriculture
would be in tragic state. With it,
agriculture has an opportunity to see
future ahead and the means to steer
clear of both Scylla and Charybdis.
To Mildred Stoltz must go great
credit for her efforts in behalf of
the co-operatives in Montana, and for
the very fine record of writing and
teaching she has left. To the Montana
Farmers Union, and the state board,
must go high commentator for the
financing of "This Is Yours.
All Montana libraries should have
copies of this book. All county To-
Gals will want to have copies. And
most members will want a copy.
They'll want to see what the old
time co-operators did and left as
heritage. And the young members
will want it to gauge their own
efforts at keeping Montana Farm
ers Union going. This task of keep
ing it going will, in different way,
be as difficult as the organization

others in society. Here is the spectac-
ular result of what a few dollars,
pooled by many, can do to build pri-
vate enterprise the cooperative way.
Here we have the result of education
and training for youth and adults to
be better citizens-to conduct meet
ings and business transactions, to be

ton of how the acts of one person
affect the welfare of all people in the
community and the nation. Here IS
evidence of pioneering and creative
ness-to make the world just little
better place for those who follow.
And here is evidence of new fields to
conquer-the raw materials for new
chemistry in agriculture, new meth
DDS of marketing, new methods of
bookkeeping and management. Even
laboratory research has been prac-
ticed and is a growing prospect for
future development. 1t can be pre-

by Carl Frederick Kraenzel. DR.. Kraen-

The Great Plains In Transition.
"This Is Yours is the history of

gional Farmers Union co-operatives.
The book is welcome contribution

"This Is Yours" is just what it says.
1t is a record Of Montana farm and

services they require. In addition to
a description of the local, county and
state organizations, paragraphs deal
ing with the organization and growth
of local co-operatives serve as a rec

Montana people. The climax comes
when all these efforts eliminate in
the larger state and regional CO.
operatives such as the Grain Terminal
Association, the Livestock Associa-
tion,. Central Exchange, and the IN
surance co-operatives.
Throughout the book runs the
strong thread of education for young
and old. In part this emphasis comes
because of long years as education
director on the part of Mildred Stoltz
herself. But it also reflects the recog-
milton by the co-operatives that edu-
cation is an essential part of pioneer
ing, of making changes, of keeping
the young and the old informed, and
of absorbing new members.
The record Of performance by Mon
tana farmers and ranchers, through
their co-operatives, with the help OF
farmers in adjacent states and the
regional and national organizations,
