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.

CO-OPERATIVE FIVE YEAR PLAN. FARM BORROWERS SHOW GOOD
N. KANSAS CITY. 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.

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.
