been received that ample funds are‘
available for a number of coopera

a SIOOO machinery investment to op
erate his farm efﬁciently, would
have to pay S2OO a. year plus inter-I

neighboring farmers cooperate with
him in‘ Joint ownership and use of
the equipment, each farmer would
pay only $lO a year plus interest, a
net saving of $l6O a year or SBOO
over the five-year period.”
The community and cooperative
services program is designed to sup
[plement the regular Farm Security
loan program in making it possible
“or smaller farmers to operate their
units more economically through
cooperation. The cooperative prin-‘
ciple can be applied to purebred}
herd sires, feed grinders, machinery;
and nearly every type of operating
goods. Written agreements between‘
