BOARD NAMES L. W. WOMACKS AS MANAGER 



GRUNDY Grain and Supply Com- 

 pany, a new Grundy County Farm 

 Bureau cooperative, purchased the 

 elevator properties of J. W. Bookwalter 

 at Coal City, Feb. 1, to carry on a grain 

 marketing, feed manufacturing and 

 feed distribution program. 



The new cooperative also has been 

 authorized as a plant food distributor, 

 jointly sharing this function with the 

 Grundy Service Company. 



Grundy Grain and Supply Company's 

 board of directors plans to set up facil- 

 ities for the manufacture of Service 

 Brand feeds as soon as details of re- 

 organization can be completed and 

 some needed equipment obtained. 



The Service Brand Feed program is 

 a cooperative statewide program spon- 

 sored by the Illinois Agricultural As- 

 sociation. The program makes it pos- 

 sible through local distributors, such 

 as the Grundy Grain and Supply Com- 

 pany, to grind and mix home-grown 



grains in the localities where the feed 

 grain is raised. It permits taking ad- 

 vantage of the purchase of protein in- 

 gredients under volume contracts and 

 provides for the manufacture and dis- 

 tribution of precision pre-mixes con- 

 taining vitamin carriers and other es- 

 sential ingredients and guarantees to 

 the purchaser a quality product at a 

 considerable saving in price. 



The savings to be made are largely 

 savings in transportation which the 

 farmer would ordinarily pay shipping 

 his grain into the market and shipping 

 the mixed feeds back. Certain pre- 

 mixes involving possibly 250 to 400 

 pounds in each ton of complete feed is 

 prepared by the Illinois Farm Supply 

 Cqmpany in its central mills. 



The local distributor provides the 

 locally grown grain where possible, 

 purchases his protein ingredients to the 

 best advantage, purchases the pre-mix 

 from the Illinois Farm Supply Com- 



w 



I. F. Holderman, left, is the new president 

 of the Grundy cooperative, and I. W. 

 Bookwalter, from whom the elevator prop- 

 erties were purchased, is on the board of 

 directors. 



The elevator taken over by the new 

 Gniady cooperative did an annual busi- 



ness of 400,000 bushels of grain and ISOO 

 tons oi feed. 



pany and mixes the feed under quality 

 control supervision and sells the feed 

 to the farmer in bags carrying the Serv- 

 ice Brand label. The Service Brand 

 feed program in no way interferes- 

 with the Blue Seal Feed program car- 

 ried on for several years by the Il- 

 linois Farm Supply Company. The 

 formulae of Service Brand feeds have 

 been prepared by the formulation com- 

 mittee of the Illinois Farm Supply 

 Company in consultation with recog- 

 nized nutritional authorities. 



The Plant Food program in whichi 

 the Grundy cooperative also will par- 

 ticipate as a local distributor is another 

 statewide cooperative program. The- 

 lAA has designated the Illinois Farm
