CO-OP . NOTES
Cont. from page 1
In Mr. Allyn's talk, ho pointed out that
just calling a potato a Matanuslca Maid,sH
didn’t make it the best spud, it must be
the best spud. Anyone selling tho best of
his.crop clsewhero and bringing what he
could not peddle to the Co-op was scalping
the market. Members must learn to plan ’
witfetho Co-op on —What to raiso and how
much. A good part lost last year was fror
shrinkage due to poor quality produce tha1
nevpr reached tho market.
"We must all work for tho future of the
Co-op and ’Don’t kill tho goose that laid
the goldon egg," If you know your Co-op
needs repair then the thing to do is to
repair it. A marketing Organization i3 a
pept. of tborvaluo of your farm. This
value would be much loss if there woro no
marketing organization.here. Eaph farmer
cannot do all tho necessary things by him
self, therefore, farmers have learned to
work together cooperatively.
i
Following this Mr. Allyn gave figures'
showing how much business was done by tho
Association as compared with figures of
1944. He also gavo figuros showing how
many times, a year goods turned over in
each of tho units.,off-tho Association.
Following I.Jr. Allyn's report Mr. Stock
again tqok the chair and tho rost of the
day vra,s spent in discussing tho rocommoh
dations as outlined on mimeograph sheets
which had previously boon passed out to
tho members. 150 of these copies wore
made with three pages of legal size paper
to each copy. Members who wore not at

house report a suggestion r:as made that
fertilizer could bo mixed in tho warehouse
in different proportions according to the
individual wants. Some of the plans sug
gested for the Trading Post arc already

ment took up tho greater share of tho time
Among tho things decided in changing the
set-up in this unit was that each grower
