AVOID GOVERNMENT PATERNA
LISM WARNS CO-OP COUNCIL.
Washington, D. C.—A resounding
call to all farm co-operatives to
■bide by sound so-operative princi
ples and not rely upon government
assistance has been issued by the
National Cooperative Council, Wash
ington, D. C., which comprise farm
ers' business cooperatives, mainly
marketing associations, with 1,260,-
000 members and handling a billion
dollars worth of farm products an
nually.
A "code of guiding principles"
adopted by the semi-annual dele
gates’ meeting was announced, as
follows :
Code of Guiding Principles.
“(1) Business co-operatives are
created by farmers as agencies
through which they collectively sell
their products or purchase their
supplies. Sunch co-operatives being
owned and controlled by the mem
bers should at all times have the
wholehearted participation* of these
members in the risks, gains and los
ses of the business operations. There
fore, the members in building such
co-operatives should invest therein,
substantial amounts of their own
funds, commensurate with the needs
of the business.
"(2) Business co-operatives are
called upon to meet the competition
of keen, strongly financed organiza
tions owned or operated by capable
men of fong experience. To func
tion properly under such circum
stances, the co-operatives should
build a strong financial structure
•ble to attract ample funds from
commercial banks and other loan
ing agencies, at reasonable rates.
"(3) The management of the bus
iness cooperative must be qualified
to perform the executive functions
in an efficient and satisfactory man
ner.
"The cooperative manager has, in
many respects, a harder work to per
form than his non-cooperative com
petitor. Only men of known high
calibre and business ability should
be selected for this position, and
such men should associate with
them, capable, promising assistants,
in order to assure a continuity not
subject to interruption by any sud
den change tn personnel.
Avoid Profits on Non-Members.
"(4) Business co-operatives have
been created by farmers as service
organizations, to promote and estab
lish a more scientific and orderly
distribution of farm products, or
purchase of farm supplies, and laws
have been enacted enabling the or
ganized farmers to perform those
functions. These organizations un
dertake to accomplish through co-
operation what the members could
not accomplish singly.
"Business cooperatives should not
engage in general buying and sell
ing: sales or purchases for non
members should be strictly limited
to those transactions essential to the
efficient handling of the members’
own business, and such non-member
business should be on a non-profit
basis.
"If a desire for profits is allowed
to supplant the cooperative objective
of savings In operations, the future
of cooperative effort is seriously en
dangered.
"(5) Government assistance is es
sentially political, and for that rea
son is not sufficiently stable to
warrant its utilization as founda-
for cooperative growth. Co-opera
tives need not spurn such govern
ment aid as does not In any way
weaken their structure or encourage
unsound expansion, but the co-oper
ative should make sure at all times
that it can continue to function In
spite of a possible withdrawal of
such governmental advantages, and
should discourage undue governmen-
Ui liberality In this regard.
Should Have Opea Membership.
“(6) The business co-operative
busy with problems of meeting com
petitive operations should not be
burdened with the duty of collect
ing dues for any other organization.
No business co-operative should say,
in effect, to its members or pros
pective members, that they cannot
be members of the cooperative un
less they join a certain church, lodge
or general farm organization
"(7) Back of the business opera-
tions of the co-operative Is a sup
porting background consisting of the
Interest, knowledge of the business
affairs, and the co-operative vision
of the membership. During the past
few years of intense economic strug-
de many cooperstives have been
forced to forego important merer.

DRYING FOODS SAID GOOD
SUPPLEMENT TO CANNING.
A supply of dried fruits and vege
tables in addition to the canned ones
not only offers a greater variety In
the winter menu but saves expense
for jars and labor in canning, says
Miss Lucy A. Case, extension spec
ialist in foods and nutrition at Ore
gon State college.
Almost any food can be preserved
by drying. Miss Case points out, but
of course some are much more deli
cious than others. Dried corn is a
favorite with many people, some of
whom prefer it to canned corn.
Dried pears, apples, prunes, peaches
and apricots can be re-hydrated or
"soaked up” and made into sauce,
pies, fruit cobblers and filling for
upside-down cakes, or used in var
ious other ways.
Some people, Miss Case says, have
a special liking for dried berries in
spite of the seeds, and use them in
pudding sauces, cookies and for fla
voring many other foods. Even to
matoes can be caked down and
dried in a sheet and furnish excel
lent flavoring for stews, soups, ma
caroni, and other dishes. Although
so much exposure to the air probab
ly destroys the much-boasted vita
min content of the tomato, the min
erals in dried products are much
more concentrated. Miss Case ex
plains. Dried fruits rank high in
iron content, she says.
The hot summer sunshine, the
heat from a stove, or a rapid current
of air furnished by a fan may be
used for drying foods, says Miss |
Case. The color of green vegetables
or other products that oxidize readi
ly is improved by blanching them in |
boiling water for 2 to 5 minutes be- |
fore drying. Most fruits and vege
tables are peeled and sliced or cubed |
to facilitate drying, and then placed
in thin layers on racks, trays or
plates. The most desirable drying
temperature is from 140 to 150 de
grees Fahrenheit.
Drying time varies with the thick
ness and texture of the product.
Dried fruits should be leathery and
pliable, and dried vegetables brit
tle but not baked or scorched. To
test a drying product, break It in
two at the thickest part. If no
moisture can be squeezed from the
broken end it is sufficiently dry. It
is then conditioned for three days,
reheated and sealed in paper bags
or boxes, to exclude insects. It is
well to examine and reheat them ev
ery few months.
Directions for constructing a
home-made drier, and detailed direc
tions for drying, conditioning and
storing 16 diferent fruits and vege
tables are contained in Extension
bulletin 479, "Home Food Preserva
tion.” which may be had free from
county extension offices or from the
state college at Corvallis.
The Tri-Grange picnic, consisting
of members of Westland Grange,
Stanfield Grange and White Owl
Grange, was well attended and all
participants report having a rous
ing good time.
Horseshoe pitching and visiting
between Grange members took up
the time before lunch.
The individual Grange members
furnished a bountious lunch, while
the Grange organizations furnished
the coffee and ice cream.
After lunch a program was ren
dered, consisting of readings, music,
and speaking. Frank Seeliger, mas
ter of Westland Grange, told of the
organizing of the Grange in March,
and the rapid and constant growth
since that time. Master Depperman
of White Owl Grange spoke of the
splendid work of his Grange, which
also is making good progress. J. M.
Richards, Past Master of Stanfield
Grange, gave an interesting talk on
why the Grange came into being,
and enumerated the various achieve
ments of the organization.
E. H. Dunning gave a short talk
in which he reviewed co-operative
achievements, locally,
nationally
and internationally, stating in his
remarks that a large number of co
operative wholesales were now In
existence in the United States, and
that these were combined Into what
is known as "National Cooperatives
Inc.”, which is what might be called
a super co-op wholesale.
Following his remarks on coop
eration he spoke of the Federal Cre
dit Union being organized at Her
miston. and explained briefly what
a credit union is for.
R. G Penney, general manager of
the Grange Co-op. was master of
ceremonies and his ready wit and
