Isaac H. Hull Wins Cheers’ For Service to Farm Co-ops

Yesterday, president of the Indiana Farm Bureau Co-operative Association; today, “grand old

- !man” of Indiana co-operatives.

That's Isaac Harvey Hull, whose retirement as president of the association yesterday drew from 600 stockholders in county co-operatives a long wave of applause in appreciation of his 25 years service. / Mr. Hull, 66, combined vision with a missionary spirit 25 years ago to make farm co-operative a paying proposition after~he and farmer neighbors in La Porte County Went broke. ” How well he succeeded is illustrated by the worth of the association today-<$30 million—and

1948—more than $100 million. Essence of the manner in which he erased a $12,000 deficit and built up to today’s gigantic financial standing was the idea having county co-operatives ‘own the state organization, instead of the other way round. ~Anvther point he stressed—one | which is still stressed today-—is the emphasis on staples needed and used by the farmers. Sets World-Wide Pattern That is why association holdings today are in feed seed, fertilizer, lumber mills and coal mines, not to mention factories. Eighty-six county co-operatives servicing 92 counties are now ~in Indiana. The
