NFO NEWS The July meeting of the St. Joseph County NFO was held at the Grange Hall on Elm Road Tuesday, June 29. with president Loyal Burkholder presiding. This was perhaps the most informative and interesting meeting that we have hau m several months.

Him- are some of the facts that were brought out: No one can deny that NFO has played a very important part in increasing the aog and cattle prices in the past several weeks. 1 Chain store invt«t gat ions going on now. No group m America pushed harder for these investigations than the National Farmers Orgamzatic n. It was brought out in these investigations that one buyer for one chain handles 25 per cent of all beef consiuned in the New York metropolitan area. A few national chain stores had repealed the law of supply and demand and fixed livestock prices by controlling the drowsed meat price at the top. 2. Supply and demand: Our recent holding action played a big part in causing shipment of lightweight cattle anil breeding stock in the case of hogs and this, no doubt, is contributing to our present (tens of red meat I hogs and cattle numbers going to market now. 3 NFO marketing arrangements are causing some honest competition among the buy rs of livestock.

Farmers ask the Question, "Hogs have gone above the asking price of $22.75. What now?” Our aim was not only to force the price up. but to get that contract so that we know what w<i will be getting a year ,rom now. Hogs could go back to a sl3 figure if we fail to bargain togeth r for contracts. Grain survey sneers were Lllm out and the grain cha.rman, Claude McEndarfor. asked that all members hold and store th ir wheat. NFO will lie bargaining tor a price on grain. Our maikeung arrangements are working good. We invde the non-memb.x to join with us. This opportunity won't last form■< r, so let's get with it. By selling alone - competing against your neighbor, you are buying low prices for tomorrow. The farmers in the know, are in the NFO, so th<y might survive in 1965.
