VanWinkle said that he wish ed to acknowledge the contri bution that Harlan McCurdy, Jr., is making to Morrow Coun ty Grain Growers as its mana ger and treasurer, and also complimented the board of dir ectors and staff. "Valued Account" "Morrow County Grain Grow ers is a valued account," he said, pointing out several factors on which this opinion is based, among them how it meets its commitments. "I am aware of the problems related to drouth," he said. "Your operating margins will improve." VanWinkle said that there are now 8300 farmer cooperatives in the United States. The individ ual co-ops are getting larger in size but the number of co-ops is decreasing, just as farms arc getting larger and number de creasing. The peak in number of co ops came in 1952 wnen tnere were about 10.000, but they have been decreasing at the rate of about 132 each year. These gen erally did not "go broke" but combined with others, he said. Peak year for number of in dividual members in the co-ops was in 1956 when there were 7,750,000 members. While total number of cooperatives has de clined, volume of business has increased about 1007o he said. VanWinkle reviewed the fi nancial history of MCGG, point ins out that at its start it had an authorized capital oi t'i.uuu. In some of the lean years t number of ranchers contribut co capital to backstop loans. They laid the groundwork of tremendous service for the rest of us," he said. Lack of Rain Hurts President Clark, in his talk, said that the year brought "no rain, no weeds, and no use for spray to kill the weeds." It al so brought "less wheat, less money, and less spent for sup plies." He said that the condition of the petroleum division is excel lent and pointed out that the machinery division was first in truck sales in its division for one period last year. Because of increase in well drilling, irrigation is becoming maior branch of the machin ery division. McCurdy gave the financial report from the annual report booklets given to each member and answered questions from several who asked for clarifi cation on some points, particu larly in regard to depreciation. apan Sales Drop Ed Balsiger, crain buyer for the Oregon area of North Pa cific Grain Growers, spoke on the problem of high protein and high sugar content in wheat which has affected the market in the Orient. While the drouth covered a considerable area, the crop was good in the Palouse country and it averaged to a fair general yield, he said. The market currently is "flat and dead" because of the lack of export. "We had relied heavily on Japan. Last year they bought about one-third of our export wheat," he said. However, when proteins were run this year, they were found to be very high. This is a condition that develops, ap-1 parently, in direct relation to he in we he fill-fair the drouth, he said. Wheat being rained on at harvest time also starts a ger mination process that changes starch to sugar, and the sugar content in the wheat is too high for the Japanese market, he said. "Japan has suspended all pur chases until we have some an swers," Balsiger said. This prob lem is not unique to this area but extends into Montana, the Dakotas and into Canada, said. "We're doing everything our power, but right now, don't have the answers," concluded. 300 Persons Present Some 300 persons nearly ed available space in the pavilion for the dinner meeting. With champion beef as the main course, the dinner was prepared and served by the Willows Grange, and the mem bers received hearty applause for their work.

Associate directors elected in clude Ron Haguewood, Bob Ma honey, Roy Martin, Bob Riet mann, and Jerry Meyers. Report of the nominating committee was presented by Ken Turner. Serving with him on the com mittee were Roger Campbell, Glen Campbell and McCurdy in an advisory capacity. Kenneth Smouse, co-chairman in Morrow county for the E. R. Jackman Memorial Fund drive for an agricultural institute, presented a five-minute talk on plans and pointed out that con tributions are needed. Directors Commended McCurdy introduced two past presidents of the cooperative, Paul Jones and Lloyd Howton, and many other guests. Presi dent Clark shared in the intro ductions, and he also commend ed the directors for their abil ity to work together and for the manner in which they respect each other's judgment. An invi tation was extended to all mem bers to attend any of the dir ectors' meetings, which are held on the fourth Thursday of each month.
