FARM CO-OPERATIVE DIVISION RURAL ELECTRIFICATION DROUTH PLANT SEEDS TO Farmers of eastern Oregon will be given an opportunity to produce seed of plants which are badly needed in the drouth areas of the rocky moun tains, the middle western and south western states, according to E. R. Jackman, extension agronomist of Oregon State college. Last summer the soil erosion ser vice gathered seed of all the promis ing native forage plants and grasses which occur in the drouth areas to determine their suitability for pre venting soil erosion and for forage production. While in Washington, D. C„ last fall, Jackman made ar rangements whereby this state would receive from 5 to 60 pounds of seed of the best of these plants to test tor seed production. Seeds of many of these plants do not set well in the middle west. If seed production is found pos- Bible, this state could easily develop an additional seed industry worth several hundred thousand dollars. Jackman believes. The grasses to be tried include the wild native wheat grasses, blue stem grasses, wild ryes, various types of alkali grass and many others. Seed of these plants is desired to the extent of millions of pounds by the soil erosion service, national for est service, the division of the gov ernment purchasing marginal lands and the Taylor Grazing act admin istration. An abundant seed supply would be a boon to thousands of middle western farmers who would like to get part of their land back into grass. Jackman adds. Grass planting is encouraged to avert soil blowing and prevent the disaster- ous dust storms that have prevailed in the middle west this spring. MISSOURI CO-OP ADOPTS NOTICE TO MEMBERS.

Mo.—The Con sumers’ Co-operative Association (formerly Union Oil Co-operative) with headquarters in North Kansas City, has published a Five Year Plan of Progress for the co-operative movement of the central west. It calls for the addition of 227 co-op erative organizations before Jan uary 1, 1940, to bring the total mem bership in the Consumers' Co-opera tive Association in that area to 170,- 000. Educational Work Included. The business plan is supplemented by a five year educational program to include membership, employee and public education in the history, prin ciples and methods of the co-opera tive movement. The Consumers’ Co- operative Association added sixty co- operatives to its membership in 1934 —an average of more than one new co-operative organization each week. This number exceeds the proposed additions for any single year in the proposed plan. FLOUR-and-SUGAR CO-OPERATORS By OSCAR COOLEY Each Is Responsible. When this type of co-operator we are talking about has bought his flour and sugar, or his gasoline and oil, at the co-op at rock-bottom price, he goes home and forgets that there is such a thing as a co-op. Why should he worry? "They” will take care of things. He seldom goes to meetings. All he wants out of the co-op are the goods and the price. Time goes on. The rumor gets about that the co-op is not doing so well. The manager, left to his own devices by the indifferent members, has become over-generous with cre dit; over three times the total capi tal stock is tied up in accounts re ceivable. Prices are falling and the manager is caught with a large stock of goods on his shelves. Worst of all. it is hinted about that the manager, who is in love with the bookkeeper, has been using co-op funds to buy her pretty clothes, go to parties, etc. Horrors! All of these things make the flour-and-su- gar co-operators more and more cri tical of the co-op’s service. And what do they do? Instead of call- ing a meeting to thresh the thing out and make an investigation, they simply stop buying. “I never did trust them fellers,” one says. "This is the last time they’ll get any of my money to lose,” says another. “They.” Who are “They,” Don’t you know. Mr. Flour-and-sugar Co operator, that if this co-operative fails, you and each of your fellow- members will be to blame? Each of you has one vote. You have an equal 1 voice and vote in control. The vote was given wou to be used, to prevent these bad practices that are now ■ | leading to failure. Member Interest Is Vital. FAITH IN PAYING LOANS. That Pacific northwest farmers are eager to meet their obligations to the very best of their ability is borne out by the unseasonal volume of mortgage loan payments which borrowers are making this spring. Officials of the Federal Land bank of Spokane pridefully declare. Ordinarily, the peak of loan pay ments to the bank Is reached in the fall out of harvest returns. Through the past year, however, payments have held up well straight through. During the past week they spurted up to more than $500,000—getting borrowers this much closer to the time when they will own their farms free of Indebtedness, which. Inciden tally, is the fundamental aim of this cooperative financing system. As part of the explanation for last week’s favorable gain. Treasurer O. H. Junod points out that on May 1 the bank granted all old borrowers the privilege of meeting the interest portion of their installments and de ferring payments on the principal from May 1, 1935, until July 11, 1938. Formerly this* privilege was granted, under terms of the emer gency mortgage act of 1933, only to those borrowers whose mortgages were not otherwise in default. MILK COOLING IS SUBJECT OF NEW COLLEGE BULLETIN. With every city vitally concerned with the quality of Its milk supply, producers have been constantly on the alert to improve their methods of preparing milk for market. One of the most vital steps in this pro cess is recognized as prompt cooling of milk as soon as it is taken from the cows. Adding to the information on cool ing methods is some research work recently completed by the dairy de partment at Oregon State college on the comparative efficiency of farm milk coolers. Station bulletin No. 331, written by Dr. G. H. Wilster, Hans Hoffman and F. E. Price, has been issued containing the results of this research work. The bulletin discusses the compa rative efficiency of the common tubular type of milk cooler, the “Hy dro-vac” cooler, which attaches to a milk can, a sprinkler cooler and a tub type cooler. It sets out in con siderable detail the results to be ex pected from these various types un der varying conditions. The tem perature of cooling water available and the rate of flow obtainable are major factors in selecting a farm milk cooling system, it was found. This is a companion bulletin to another issued recently entitled, "Methods of Cooling and Storing Cream for Oregon’s Dairy Farms.” Both may be had free from any ex- tension office or direct from the col lege. ..

A Classified Directory of WHO is WHO in PENDLETON A MESSAGE TO EVERY MEMBER. BE TRIED IN THIS STATE PAGE THREE THE HERMISTON HERALD, HERMISTON, OREGON. THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1935 VITAL SAYS GOV. MARTIN. Rural electrification is the “prob- 1 lem of the hour” which is receiving his closest attention, Governor Chas. H. Martin assured 650 college and high school agricultural students, and farm leaders from all parts of | the state at the annual agricultural leaders banquet held in connection with the state Future Farmers of America convention at Oregon State college. “It is a program that can be suc cessfully worked out only through closest co-operation with the federal government,” Governor Martin de clared. "I have recently urged Pres- i ident Roosevelt to make necessary studies and give authority ... for construction of the main transmis sion lines from Bonneville dam as part of the original construction pro gram. “As at least three states of Ore gon, Washington and Idaho will share in the consumption of power generated at Bonneville, it is obvious that the federal government alone is in a position to construct those main transmission lines. Our state is in no financial condition, nor is it prop er for this state, to assume the build ing of 860,000,000 worth of power transmission lines.” The governor points out that once the main lines are built, the farm ers themselves will have a part to perform. They have an opportunity now to prepare under the Oregon power district laws to distribute locally the cheap power once it is delivered to their communities. "Electrification means. In the long run, better living and working con ditions on our farms and a greater return to our farmers,” he added. “This program is of such vital im portance that it must and shall be kept out of petty politics. I pledge to you my unswerving efforts to ac complish this great purpose.” Governor Martin voiced a plea for state unity in the great develop ments he sees ahead. Before we are farmers, lawyers, or merchants we are Oregonians, he caid. “When popular discontent and passion are stimulated by the art of designing partisans to a pitch peri lously near class hatred, I would have our universities and colleges sound the alarm in the name of American brotherhood and fraternal depend ence.
