The questions were on further developmentof co-operatives and marketing boards. We believe the co-ops in our community have not been gi- ven a fair chance to prove their worth as the majority of farmers deal with the nearest stores or where they can buy cheapest. We think a delegation to for- eign countries should have auth- ority uthority to promote several farm products; usually they go to pro- mote just one.
