GIBSON TEUTSCH TELLS OF COOPERATIVES IN HERMISTON AREA « $ 9 9 95 During the next several issues of The Herald there will appear articles written by Wm. L. Teutsch, assis tant county agent leader. He has made an exhaustive study of the various cooperatives in the Hermis ton vicinity and recently has had this information published in the Reclamation Era. The Farm Bureau Cooperative, which in a recent year did $147,000 of business, with approximately 800 active members, was organized in 1924 and incorporated under the Ore gon cooperative laws. This organi zation, according to H. M. Sommerer, present manager and one of the or ganizers, grew out of a simple propo sition whereby farmers pooled their orders for feeds and coal. “The late C.’ J. Herd, marketing specialist for the Oregon State College Extension Service, was a great help to us in setting up our organization on a sound basis,” Mr. Sommerer said. Bearing out Mr. Sommerer’s state ment, the annual report of the Uma tilla county agent in 1923 shows that this matter was first discussed at a meeting of dairymen, at which time the county agent pointed out- the poor economic system under which dairymen were buying their feed. They were purchasing only two or three sacks at a time on credit, and paying about 30 per cent higher pri ces than necessary, and the dealers were not making any money either. That year, the county agent report shows, the Bank of Hermiston and the Farm Bureau effected an ar rangement for buying in quantity for cash. Three hundred twenty-five tons of feed were purchased and one hundred eighty tons of coal, with a saving amounting to $2,700. That was the forerunner of the present successful business, a concern which now has a net worth of approximate ly $50,000. An important department of this Farm Bureau Cooperative, recently added, is the cooperative service sta tion. It serves more than 500 mem bers, selling gasoline, oils, tires, etc., at going retail prices and has been able to distribute a dividend to mem bers amounting to approximately 10 per cent.
