Farmer cooperatives are one
of the forms of business In which
farmers organize to do business
collectively pertaining to agri-
cultural products, supplies, and
services. The Texas Cooperative
Marketing Act gives a coopera-
tive association legal status and
defines their purposes and pow-
er. Often times fanners through
cooperatives are able to provide
services that are not available
otherwise. Cotton gin coopera-
tives are by far the largest in
numbers. In 1957, the 822 far-
mer-rancher cooperatives did
business for approximately twice
the number of farm and ranch
operators reported in the 1955

Cedar Creek Philosopher Joins
Fight Against Inflationary
Spiral By Dozing In His Chair
Editor’s note: The Cedar Creek
Philosopher on his Johnson grass
farm on'Cedar Creek apparent-
ly has gotten his mind off Russi-
an satellites and back to infation.
He’s as much an authority on
one as the other.
Dear editar:
I found two copies of some
newspapers out here yesterday
afternoon alongside the road by
my farm where somebody had
dropped them from his car and
judging by the ants in them,
they’d been used to wrap up a
would like to say that while may-
be this latter Senator can con-
vince his wife he has enough
money, I’ll have to admit I must
have a different type wife. When
I pointed out to her that the rea-
son I didn’t furnish her with
more money was because me and
this Senator didn’t want to be
contributing to the inflationary
spiral, she just snorted and said
the Senator could run the Senate
end she’d run her house and it’d
run a lot smoother if she had
more cash. She also added that
picnic lunch, and I thought you’d « she’d have more cash maybe if
like to know that one of them
was a copy of The Journal and
the other a copy of The Post,
and I examined them both care-
fully and found exactly fourteen
ants in each one, which proves
that when it comes to being ant-
proof, there’s not much differ-
ence in newspapers.
But what interested me, after
I’d shook the ants out, was an
article in the big daily about
two Senators on a special com-
mittee in Washington to inves-
tigate inflation.
According to one of them, A-
mericans should be allowed to
have more spending money, as
he claimed the factories in this
country aren’t producing as
much as they could and would
if the people had more money to
spend. The only thing is, he did-
n’t say where this extra spending
money is coming from.
According to the other, that’s
just the trouble, the people have
too much money to spend, which
in turn produces inflation. He
said if we had more money, we’d
be bidding higher for more
goods, which would only pro-
duce more inflation.
Now I’m not smart enough to
settle this argument, but I
I worked harder, but anybody
can see the more you work the
more you make and the more
you spend and hence the more
you contribute to the high cost
of things, and I’d appreciate it if
more women around here under-
stood this.
What the women of this coun-
try ought to understand is that
when a man is dozing in his
chair he’s not loafing, he’# fight-
ing inflation.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.
