In the busjnegs world, farmers long ago recognized that they must work together if they are to be competitive. To meet the demands described by ProfesLarson, the men of the soil turned to cooperatives that they themselves could own and operate. They found that true farmer cooperatives had the “built-in stimulant” nécessary to do the job for the farmer. = * ¢ & FARMER COOPERATIVES Cooperatives are farmers’ business Organizations and have played an important role in the building of a prosperous Ameriean agriculture. Today, over three million farm families—three out of five farmers—belong to cooperative. marketing or purchasing associations, The total business done by thesse farmer organizations exceeds 10 billion dollars annually. The farmers themselves had, in 1958, an ownership investment in these cooperatives of over 3.7 billion dollars. Farmer cooperatives .were organized and are growing because of four basic reasons: (1) They permit individual farmers to band together and successfully compete with big. business, big labor, and big government. (2) They provide the farmer with services and facilities not otherwise readily obtainable. (3) They give the farmer an opportunity to improve quality and standardize products in his marketing activities. (4); They give the farmer a voice in the marketing of his products, purchasing and service functions. Farmer cooperatives must be run on sound business lines in order to survive. No-group of people will long support an enterprise that is not performing a_useful function, and farmers For. much discussion at the grass roots level as well as in legislative halls and the mass news media. the farmer's problems, although many individuals and groups expound their theories. The farmer himself must determine his destiny and it is important that he work through his farm organization to have his voice heard. The future of cooperatives in the agricultural picture was summed up by Joseph G. Knapp, ydministrator of the Farmer Cooperative Service, U. S: Department. of Agriculture, during a recent speech, when he said: “The future role of cooperatives in our free enterprise system will depend to a large extent upon the abiltiy and capacity of cooperative leaders to capitalize on the undeveloped potentials of cooperatives for meeting farmers’ needs. The future role of farmer cooperitives in our free enterprise economic system wili call for vision, courage, and action by cooperative members and their--leaders in working toward. realization of these potentials. The future role of farmer cooperatives will be what farmers make i Expert Thinks Beef Cattle Need To Grow “There is more room for expansion in beef cattle between now and 1975 than for any other . class of livestock,” says Hal Routhe, University of Minnesota economist. He thinks that by 1975 Amerieans will need 50 per cent more beef annually than they are now eating because of the expected growth in population. In actual numbers, he said, there will need to be about 108,000,000 head of beef cattle on U. S. farms in 1965 and 127,000,000 in 1975. Right now there are about 97,000,000. Routhe noted the nation also}. will need much more pork and dairy products in 1975 but he said improved technology can supply much of the increase without an addition in animal numbers. He said the same holds true for poultry. The economist. said farmers no: exception;.

Custom = biner Earl ‘Estill of Carrier, a., who has been cutting ‘ by contract for 15 years across Plains, is one of the first combining outfits to use radi6 to speed the, harvest. He has two-way radios in his pickup, his two grain trucks, one of his three Gleaner-Baldwin combines built by AllisChalmers and in the house trailer from which his 18-yearold daughter, Judy, prepared all the meals for the hungry harvesters, His radios are 100-watt transistors set up on 43-10 megacycles with a 40-mile range. They are licensed’ by the Federal Communications Commission on'an industrial band. The progressive Oklahoman feels his two grain trucks with radios can do as much work as three without radios. The major purpose of the communication system is to dispatch trucks: to. waiting grain elevators ahd return, find out if the elevators are full and what the moisture content of the wheat. is when it arrives at the elevator.
