Springyfield Mass February 20 Senator Capper told the annual banquet of the Hantern States Farmers Cooperative Exchange that about 24,000,000 farmers go out of business because they cling to individuality and fail to organize. He argued organized marketing and farmer leadership are essential to fair prices and urged cooperation among farmers to close the gap between what they pay and what they receive.
