O OPERATlvFs
WHAT FARMERS COOPERATIVES
As a vital part of this nation's
free enterprise system, farmer co
operatives can be given a consider
able share of credit for the fact
that nowhere else on oafcth do the
citizens of a country eat so well,
or, in terms of their own labor,:
quite so cheaply as in this country<
Farmers’ organizations have moved,
in all along the line to get . the
products and services of industry
to the farm—and products of the
farminto American homes and onto
America’s well loaded dinner tables.
A good measure of the value of an
hour's work is how much food we can
buy with the money we get for that
