Cooperatives Viewed as Economy Tools at Meigs Meeting
Walter L. Black says cooperatives are tools within an economic system not a system themselves. He traces farm progress from pre WWI to modern times, cites the Grange and Farm Bureau roots, and urges farmers to continue cooperative efforts while noting broader use outside farming.
