And Local Board Mem
bers Heard Report By
Cooperative Executive
At Session.

Overall volume for Ou b n
States Cooperative and its affiliates
for the first six-months of the 1861
60 fiscal year showed an increase
of about $644 900 over the same
period last year, but net savings
dipped sharply, according to a re-
port presented by j. H. Buchholz
of Richmond, Va, to members at
"a regional board meeting held in
Grange Hall on February IA, 1862.
Total volume was reported at
.$98, .589 as compared with
$9S, ,S26 for the same six-months
.of the previous year an increase
.Of OF percent.
Feed tonnage was down 10 per-
cent for the period due largely to
planned cutbacks on broiler and
turkey contracting. Total tonnage
was 26,900 tons.
Fertilizer tonnage was up "a
percent Total tonnage for h e
period was $4,000 tons, an increase
.of 2,700 tons. .
Seed volume - up 5.4 percent
amounted to $2,029,810.
Miscellaneous farm supply vol
ume showed a percent increase.
Total volume for the six-months
was $7.444.432 as compared to
$6,957, 600 last year
Volume in petroleum products
was 39,739,025 gallons, an increase
of 4 percent over last year.
Grain marketing reached 1925
1913 bushels, down 5.3 percent from
last year.
Net savings amounted to $4,000
for the six-mOnth period as COM
pared with $1,507, 900 last year.
This decrease was brought about
by unprecedented low broiler and
turkey markets during the first six
months.
Since 1889" Mr.. Buchholz
pointed out, contracting opera
tions have been one of Southern
States major concerns. Until then,
poultry contracting was quit e
profitable and it brought every
one into the act. Over productions
in 1859 caused disastrously low
broiler prices.
