FOLKS ARE THAT WAV. TOO/ 



^^OV O OLD SPOT THE GRASS ALLUS LOOKED 

 # greener on t'other side o' the fence," re- 



\^_y marked Uncle Eb. "And some folks are that 

 way too. 'Stead o' paternizin' and stickin' to their own 

 cooperative associations, they run off somewhere else, 

 figgerin' they'll do better with strangers. 



"Reminds me of the time Jim Wilson fell fer the new 

 cream buyer that moved into our town. Everything ■went 

 all right for a couple of weeks until the old fox had Jim 

 and the rest of the new patrons comin' his way. Meantime 

 we fellers who stuck to the co-op had been takin' sam- 

 ples and testin' some of the cream that went to the new 

 place. About the third week, the buyer started cuttin' 



on the tests. When anybody complained he'd 

 fix it up. Then one morning the new creair 

 station was shut up tight. And that day o 

 lot of cream checks started bouncin' back to the patrons 



"Well to make a long story short, Jim and all the 

 rest came back to the co-op. again feelin' mighty sheep 

 ish. Ain't had any more trouble like that since. I allu; 

 figured that our Farm Bureau cooperative can git all the 

 market affords for the stuff we have to sell. And I knov. 

 we can depend on gettin' a square deal."
