This paper is issued for the pur
pose of giving information and
news of the i-iatanuska Valley
Farmer's Cooperating Associations
work, jr'Oflums, accomplishments,
.and also, news of local and'gon
er q.1 interest; -an1, to foster the
cooper- efv spirit of fie farmers
of the ill:.t musks. Valley.
One of. the big problems of' co
op git'.tIon is ti e lr.ck of under
standing end approc3 ation on tho
part of those most benefited
from the services rendered by
tho n\TO rous co-cop-..rntivo Associ
ations in America. 'Much of the
valuable s ervice cannot be monuurxl
in doll' rs and cents. Any suc
cessful co-operative association
that ~x'u cts to continue ss a
real service to its membership
must of nccos ity ■ operate along
rather conservative linos.
There is net a lot of ballyhoo
connected with the service -- it
is just plain business administra
tion of farmers* affairs•
It is always ..-asy to oxpond idops
and attract attention, and vocal
support to ideas thr.t nay not be
practical.from the standpoint of
business operations so long as
you are not asked to put your
ideas into operati n but/when it
conies to the actual conduct of '
co-operative affairs in which
all factors :1c: ling with sound
business administration must bo "
not, wo: than come to the point
where more ballyhoo nndproo
aganda doesn’t count for much.
We thch face the cold facts of
business ad ministration of our
affairs which requires understand
Ing and loyalty on tho part of
those who arc being served id
they arc not to fa. 11 prey to the
appeals of those who are hurt
most.by tho co-operative activities
and would like most to sec them
out pf the picture, at least so
far as commercial operations arc
concerned.
