to the money markets."
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.
Four directors were reelected
for three year terms, including
Pat Cutsforth, Homer Hughes,
Marcel Jones, and Bryce Keene
A'so reelected was Leo Ash beck,
who will serve a one-year term.
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.
At a directors' meeting follow
ing the general meeting, all of
ficers were reelected, Clark pres
ident, Al Bunch vice president,
