home 1. atanuska Pamirs have
peddled a lot of their products
independently and individually
to Co-op customers, and have ex
pected the Co-op to handle their
surplus. To quote C. Stock,
•'The Association is not interest
ed in being a dumping place for
surplus produce when it cannot
be marketed elsewhere.- We intend
to first find a market for those
people who -xpe ct us to do their
marketing. The ambition of the
co-op orating Anon, is to furnish
only the highest typo menchar, disc
at all times to be market ,1 under
our trade name "hatanuska .-aid". We
expect the quality of this years
potato crop, handled under re
gulations to surpass oven the ex- .
collont potatoes produced in 1940".
To point out the value of'
the Cooperative in the V Hoy,
Wn. Grow, a farmer who has lived
here prior to 1936, .said ’’Before
this outfit started, farmers took
what they could get from buyers
and took it in trade."
The fact that potato sales
by the Co-op during the last five
years have increased from oract
ically nothing to over 2C0 tons
of the 1940 crop shews an (.px rc
ciotion of careful grading, de
pendable marketing and ii roved
quality.
