Director Addresses
Ag Ed Students
At the invitation of the Agricul
tural Education Department, Don
ald W. May, Educational Director,
for the Consumers Cooperatives
Associated, lectured to various
sections of Agricultural Education
classes Monday through Friday of
last week.
Since farmers in Texas are show
ing a keen interest in the coopera
tives, vocational agriculture teach
ers are expected to provide the
farmer with organizational guid
ance and factual information re
lating to the cooperatives. In order
to provide prospective vocational
agricultural teachers with the ne
cessary details, May, editorial ad
viser of the Battalion in 1943-44
was invited to give students first
hand information.
May pointed with pride to the
effectiveness of the work done by
the Co-ops in the Southwestern
United States. They handled over
$8,000,000 worth of products re
sulting in savings amounting to
$344,277.26 for the farmers of this
area.
Seventeen years ago the Con
sumers Cooperative organized with
seventeen members. Today that
cooperative serves 207 member as
sociations and a score of patron as
sociations in seven states Texas,
Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mexico,
Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississ
ippi.
