oflFices in Illinois and Iowa. He was 

 transferred to Baltimore, Md., as branch 

 manager in 1933, and later to Louis- 

 ville, Ky., to sell grain to distilleries. 

 He returned to Kansas City in 1938 

 and became a member of the Kansas 

 City Board of Trade and in charge of 

 the coarse grain and consignment depart- 

 ment of Farmers National Grain Cor- 

 poration. 



In 1938, Hassell went with the 

 Federal Crop Insurance Corporation, 

 Kansas City, as chief of the commodity 

 and traffic division and in that position 

 had charge of large purchases of wheat 

 for the government. 



In July, 1942, Hassell transferred to 

 the Commodity Credit Corporation after 

 grain operations of the CCC and 

 Federal Crop Insurance Corporation 

 were merged through his recommenda- 

 tion. This merger resulted in large 

 savings to the government. 



A native of Texas, Hassell was gradu- 

 ated from Fort Worth High School 

 and attended the University of Texas 

 for three years. He served on the 

 Mexican border and in Mexico with 

 the Sixth U. S. Cavalry in 1916-17 and 

 in France with the Sixth Field Artillery 

 Brigade Headquarters in 1918-19. 



Hassell is married and has one 

 daughter. He is a member of the 

 Central Park Methodist Church of 

 Buffalo, Buffalo Corn Exchange, Buffalo 

 Athletic Club, Buffalo Flour Club, 

 Central Park Men's Club, and National 

 Grain and Feed Dealers Association. 



Whaf Are Motives?—

its patrons. There have been a number 

 of instances in which business concerns 

 have stated that they did not want to do 

 business with cooperatives. It is notice- 

 able, too, that much of the campaign is 

 directed against purchasing cooperatives 

 which, as was pointed out before, are 

 doing only slightly more than 20 per cent 

 of the total volume of business done by 

 farm cooperatives. Very little, if any, 

 propaganda is directed against the coop- 

 eratives which are serving newspapers, 

 grocery stores, furniture stores, drug 

 stores and similar businesses. 



Local companies last year paid more 

 than $480,000 of federal income tax. 

 These companies which are alleged to be 

 "tax free" are paying more than a million 

 dollars per year in federal income taxes. 

 But the same charges continue to be made

by persons who either are misinformed 

 and have not made an effort to verify 

 their statements or who misrepresent the 

 facts. 



This leads one to inquire as to the 

 motive back of these charges. Are they 

 designed to secure a change in the tax 

 laws or is there some other objective.' As 

 previously pointed out, cooperatives and 

 the payment of patronage dividends help 

 to maintain competition. Consumers are 

 afforded some protection against price 

 fixing schemes. 



Farmers do not want monopoly either 

 of big business or of cooperatives. They 

 do not want any unfair tax advantage for 

 cooperatives. They are concerned that 

 we keep our competitive system with its 

 rewards for individual enterprise and 

 initiative. 



They believe cooperatives are a part of 

 that system. They believe that farmers 

 have the same right as other businesses 

 to set up cooperatives and to obtain the 

 savings resulting from cooperative opera- 

 tions. They believe cooperatives, both 

 farm and business, provide competition 

 and help to prevent monopolies. Are 

 the persons talking about unfair tax ad- 

 vantages of farm cooperatives really con- 

 cerned with taxation, do they want tax 

 reform or are they attempting to destroy 

 the competition of farm cooperatives. 



Wormy pigs were more quickly and seri- 

 oiisly affected with necrotic enteritis than 

 were healthy pigs when both were equally 

 exposed during careful tests.
