See. Anderson endorses farmers* cooperatives and expressed his approval of encour
agement REA is giving members to take an active part in the affairs of co-ops.
"The experience fanners aro r.ow getting through their own cooperatives is streng
thening the spirit-of self-reliance which throughout.our national history has made
the rural element of our population a bulwark against attacks on our freedom," he
