A three per cent dividend was declared on purchases for the past year and the 1945 deferred patronage loan will be paid in cash. • "This past year, the co-op- erative has shown the most prog- ress in its history," said presi- dent Albert Keyes in his report to a record crowd of 225 at the meeting. "Sales have reached an all- time high of $283,000, a gain of $42,000 over one year ago," he continued. A net savings of five per cent, or $14,255, was "very encouraging as to the future po- tential" of the co-operative. The past year's record-break- ing operation continues the growth which the co-operative has experienced . since 1954, In five years, its total, sales have doubled and its net savings have increased 11 -fold Manager Ken Horn comment- ed: "The past year has indeed been an important one for the Co-op, Its success has only been made possible by the continued patronage and support of its members and customers who have stuck with it during the difficult period of the last few years."

Seems to me I r• emember some- one agricultural one sa in ha saying "surplusses" have ,a strange way of dissappearing. • My memory isn't too accurate when I have to go back over ten years but I think it was 1946 that we had our last poor crop in this area, Ever since it seems that each year's crop .has been just a little better that the year before. This was true in the west until a year ago there was a drop in yields and this year, -a greater drop. Are we heading towards' a series of poor crops?

The conference voted for in- ternational agreements whereby there would be someinternation- al understanding as to trade, Since gov'ts began handling sur - plusses of food, world prices have fluctuated detrimentally a n d there is no longer stability in the markets. The conference also stood for international concilliation in trad- ing to ensure some sanity in the price level. ' The world, he felt, could he divided into two 'classes — The starving poppies of India and other undeveloped countries and the farmers in the Americas. "What has happened is that we have a surplus of agricultural products in the advanced part of the world while in the other part there is hunger and want. It is a challenge to the thinking of all people to overcome this con- dition." He showed pictures of the world's fair at Brussels. He was introduced by Lloyd Morgan, Two new directors elected to the co-op are Arnold Cann and Wellington Heist, who succeed President Albert Keyes and Ray Morloek, both of whom are re- quired to resign following two. full terms.

Just what this means to the beef trade is stupendous. Now there is no danger of feeding valuable breeding stock a hormone addi- tive feed by mistake. Looking back at the progress made in the daily rate of gain since the turn of ,the century, one is amazed. Science and re- search has played an important part in making the tremendous strides of converting pasture, coarse grains and hay into beef, . All too often many of us have fed what we had. Research has proven that we were penny-wise and pound-foolish. The first re- quirement of economical gain is a well-balanced ration. A steer requires. a sufficient amount of protein, carbohydrates, fibre, calcium and phosphorous, etc., to build bone and, muscle which make beef gains. Research has proven time and time again that this is our First Requirement. Back when we were kids it was just about "the most" to get into 'the blackstrap barrel.
