Tie original plan for the estab
lisliuent of this project wan
oot.uk! and had the aims of the
management boon of a constructive
and cooperative natue, all the
rules of reason toll us it would
have been an early success.
Thus far the various programs
urged upon us have only tended
bo destroy and delay cooperation;
have dealt the project a terrible
blow and placed our security in
jeopardy. But it’s not so far
gone that it cannot be salvaged.
A sc If-functioning coopcrtive is
all that is needed to make it
the fine, clean thing it cound
and should have boon-something
that will sell itself to us;
merit our membership and support.
We arc sick anc’ tired o f prom
isees and deception. Y/o want r
reality i
For many of us this venttire is
our lost opportunity t& provide
security for our children and
oursolvos. Arc wo going to give
up without a struggle? Arc v;c
groing to capitulate and permit
tho complete wreckage of our h,.
hopes? Can vve afford to sacrifice
so much ? What are we going to
do? Whether we have boon'here
four years or four months, there
is only one answer--COOFERATIOK—
a united stand ggainst a common
danger j
Cooperation, to be effective,
should be practiced not occasion
ally, but'consistently; not
furtively, but courageously. Its
purest fruits arc for those who
show their colors boldly and
zestfully J Ycs--nnd frequently.'
It cannot be expected to become
a way of life overnight, of cour.%
Like any action, good or bad, it
becomes after a while a habitr
then a passion-and finally a
rule of conduct. The point is
that we must visit the will often
and hopefully. ITo one can do it
for us J We may read many
volumes about cooperation, yet
gain a greater thrill through
one norsonal contact where we
tahto tho water for ourselves.

Editors note: It appears that,
tho general opinion of the valley
as recently expressed has one
aim only— the progress and future
success of our Farmer’s- Cooperatin
Association. Pe.3t experience has
proven that groups of people are
working at cross purposees to
accomplish the same thing.
Beginning now, we expect a better
understanding all the way round
and can sec no reason for failure
of purpose.
