CANNERY SCHEDULE OREGON-WASHINGTON MELON & July 23 to 28. TOMATO AGREEMENT IN EFFECT A. M.—S to 11 P. M.—Ito 3:30 PRINCIPLES OF SUCCESSFUL COOPERATIVE MARKETING Management— The management must be efficient and honest. In the cooperative this is possibly a relatively more essen tial case than it is in private busi ness. The management—the board of directors and the manager—is the greatest single factor upon which hinges the success or failure of the association. The three duties of the board of directors are “to determine the gen eral policies of the business, to hire and fire the manager, and to see these policies carried out. The board must be intelligent, fairmlnded, and must know their business. Rela tionship and friendship should be considered secondary to business ability and experience in the selec tion of members of the board. "This is absolutely true because nothing in a cooperative, excepting inefficiency and dishonesty, casts ' greater reflection on the manage ment than the dissatisfied cry that an employee is a relative or friend of the manager or of a director.” Experience of cooperatives has amp ly proved that an efficient, honest manager is necessary for successful operation and cooperation. Financing— In financing their association, co- operators have followed the two principles, first, of giving capital merely the current rate of interest and second, of keeping control of the business In their own hands. Re cently, cooperatives have been is- sueing preferred, non-voting stock to non-members with the provision for retirement at the end of a speci fied period. Sinking funds to re tire this outside financing have been built up by deductions from pro ceeds of the sale of products. The fact, that capital gets no spe cial privileges in the way of either higher interest rates or some form of dividend ór by getting a hand in the control of the business is a very important point. Cooperators found that in order to successfully run their own business they must them selves have the complete control with no strings attached from any other source. Any net profit on operations, which seldom runs above one or three per cent, constitutes the sums which are eventually prorated as dividends to members on the basis of business done in or with the as sociation. This is a chief distinc tion between the cooperative and other forms of business undertak ings The dividends are not divided on the basis of capital stock or some other plan. Editor's Note: This Is one of a series of articles on cooperative marketing, much of the data for which was taken from the work of Dr. N. H. Comish, W. W. Cum- berland, W. E. Humphrey, A. W. McKay, C. H. Lane, Henry C. Wallace and the American Bank- ers Association. , } ; ! j | 1 • a CORN-HOG PROGRAM AWAITS ACTION BY U.S. GOVERNMENT. "The Oregon corn-hog adjustment program has continued to mark time because the official estimates of hog production and marketings, upon which the Government’s quota for Oregon is based, are much below the sign-up figures and with the facts as indicated by an independent sur vey made by our committee", .says H. A. Lindgren, Oregon State col lege extension animal husbandman and chairman of the Oregon corn hog Campaign committee. "Until the true facts as to hog production and marketings in this state have been given fair consider ation and a state quota fixed that is in keeping with these facts, our committee feels that the review board will be powerless to fix coun ty quotas and properly Instruct the county allotment committees as to the amount each individual grow er's contract must be scaled down”, says Lindgren. Among the most recent develop ments in the corn-hog work is the arrival of two representatives of the Division of Crop and Livestock Es- timates, who win make an exami nation of the growers’ contracts.

Parents and friends will be welcome to come and see the work that the girls have been doing. • = ------- 4-H COOKING AND CANNING CLUBS GIVE DEMONSTRATIONS. The fourth meeting of the We- Can—Canning club and the Kookie Rooking club was held Wednesday, July 11, at the Hermiston Union church. Two demonstrations were given. Frances Dawson and Anne Sommerer gave a canning demon stration showing the cold pack me thod of canning rhubarb. The cook ing demonstration was a sun flower salad made by Jane Jackson and Ruth Pierson. Refreshments of ice cream and cake were served. The next meeting will be held at the same place July 25 th. Notice to Dairymen. Ice deliveries to the farmer on routes of the Umatilla Cooperative Creamery will be discontinued. The insulated box carried on the long routes was intended for packages from the cold storage lockers, and as orders for packages are increas ing, as well as the demand for ice, one of them must be dropped. Oc-’ casionally there is room for a small amount of Ice but it would be un fair to deliver ice to one party un less all could be served. The management has had to con sider that the cream trucks must not be delayed and with a load of approximately two tons of cream .nd cans, it would be impossible to arry much ice under any circum- stances. We urge that all people calling it the creamery cooperate with us o the end that employees will not be taken away from their work any more than necessary. The N.R.A. re quires that we limit' the hours worked by employees and efficiency in the plant must be kept up to the highest possible point in order to avoid unnecessary expense. Meat must be brought to the chill room on week days when the butch- sr is in charge. The men working on buttermaking should not be railed upon to carry in animals from the street, as creamery workers’ clothes must be kept In a reason ably sanitary condition. Those who desire to have ice plac ed in their lockers for future use may do so when they are in town to serve themselves but no phone or ders will be filled by the creamery. A meeting of the local committee in charge of cream and butter im provement work under the National Dairy Council, was held recently, and It was decided that no commu nity meetings be held during the busy season but that each creamery operator would carry on his own campaign to improve cream quality and increase butter consumption.

As Annie Snodgrass, Zasu Pitts comes into her own as a prima don na with what is described as a heart touching rendition of a sentimental mother song. And It is around the effect of this ballad upon the soul of a calloused gangster that the plot of the rollicking farce revolves. Nat Pendleton, as the gangster who emotes to mammy songs, and Pert Kelton, as his gum-chewing, hard-socking moll, are other central figures around which the plot re volves.
