said, “If you love me keep my com

in the word to “forsake not the as

manner of some is.”
Therefore every man, woman, boy

the gospel next Sunday. Are you in
the habit of making excuses? Any
one can make them. Will they pass
at the judgment bar? “By our words
we are either justified or con

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.
