A survey being made by the Co
operative Division of the Farm Cre
dit Administration, cooperating with
the Oregon State College of Agrcul-
ture, to determine the extent of co
operative farm supply purchasing in
Oregon, shows that farmers in that
state purchased cooperatively ap-
"roximately $2,008,619 worth of
"arm supplies in 1933.
Preliminary analysis of the data
obtained from 31 associations cov
ered in the survey shows that 19 of
them were organized strictly as pur
chasing associations and 12 were
marketing organizations operated on
a state-wide basis with local branch
es. The others either served local
communities or areas consisting of
one or more counties. Of the 13,340
members of these purchasing and
marketing organizations about 11,-
500 participated in the purchasing
service offered by their associations.
Ten of the associations specialized
in petroleum products and 12 hand
led feed and seed as their principal
supplies. Nine associations, most
ly of the marketing type, handled
orchard and fruit packing supplies,
grain sacks and twine, fertilizer, and
other farm supplies. The amount
of farm supplies handled by these
associations varied from about $3,-
500 for the smallest to about $431,-
000 for the largest.

The alfa sweet clover being test

that this is actually the case. At
