Federal Licensed and Bonded Elevators Lexington, Oregon October 14, 1954 Dear Friends: A COOPERATIVE FAILS WHEN producers have more Confidence In private marketing agents than the management of their own Cooperative. A COOPERATIVE SUCCEEDS WHEN members have sufficient confidence in their Association and its manager to patronize their own organization. WE ARE PLEASED Bv your show of confidence in giving us more grain to handle In 1954 than ever before in oui -history Also bv vour willingness to deliver your grain under the new 1951 agreement basis which allowed us to bhip for terminal storagf a? the managements doscretion, and further permitted ground storage of any surplus on a share and share alike basis, This spirit of cooperation, with each other and with your management, made ft pnssibt to handle the year's larger than average crops without difficulty or inconvenience. THERE WAS PLENTY OF STORAGE SPACE In snite of all the talk, there was no shortage of storage space her or anywhere else, during 1954, in the Pacific No hues We told you we would be able to handle all of the wheat and barley you would have to offer us and we did exactly that. You now have your warehouse receipts so there is again no necessity to ac cept less than loan prices for either your wheat or barley. MARKETING YOUR CROP Wp will never knowingly pay you under the market for your crops. We will always plan to be In a position to meet your storage 'and handling needs. By planning far in advance we were able to provide stor ae for vour barlev and so announced several months before the 1954 harvest. Some of you were offered 25 rAl irs a ton for new crop barley just before we made our announcement. Immediately the price of barley fumped ten dollL" and now most of you are receiving the full loan price of around $47.50 ped ton. We would like to point out that it was your own cooperative that began the movement to provide adequate barley stor age for you when others, in the grain business, were telling you it couldn't be done. NEW FACILITIES We have filled the new elevator on the river near the Paterson Ferry. This facility was not completed in time for use in shipping the harvest but its storage space is being used to capacity. It will be ready to handle all necessary shipments when the time comes to move the 1954 stored crop to terminals. This new elevator completes a building program that gives us ample shipping and storage facilities to meet all known needs. FINANCES Our financial condition was never better. Our ratio of current assets to current liabilities as of May 31 1954 was better than 7 to 1. The same ratio a year ago was not quite 2 to 1. Better yet, current assets exceeded current liabilities, on July 31 of this year, by a ratio of more than ten to one. Net earnings or sav in"S for the year ending May 31, 1954 amounted to almost $1.30,000.00. This earning, the largest in our history, amounting to over 6 cents per bushel of grain handled was a major factor in your association s very satisfac tory present financial condition. IN CONCLUSION Your manager and other emplayees hope our service to you during the past year and the more recent harvest season has been satisfactory. Ve hope you have not had to wait too long to get your grain un loaded and that you feel you have been fairly and courteously treated. We would appreciate hearing from you as to methods for improving the service of your association. We can all learn and we can all impri've, So let's put our heads together and make 1955 the best year ever. plan to attend the annual meeting of your association being held in the Lexington Grange Hall No vember 8 beginning at 10 a. m. Lunch will be served at noon and valuable door prizes will be given away. Sincerely yours, AL LAMB, Manager, k Morrow County Grain Growers, Inc.
