COOPERATION FOR RURAL PEOPLE
Discussion of their responsibilities as committee members and a study of cooperation for rural people featured a Regional meeting of members of the Southern States Farm Home Advisory committees in Elkton, North East, Rising Sun, New Castle, Middletown, and Newark, held in North East recently, with Mrs. Sara Porter Ellis, Richmond, Director of the Southern States Farm Home Service, as program leader.

Mrs. Ellis outlined the program, organization, and operation of Southern States Cooperative, explaining how it is endeavoring to aid farm families. She pointed out that Southern States is working with more than 150,000 farm families in its territory and that it is now establishing a cooperative program in Kentucky. The speaker emphasized the necessity for the farm home to have an opportunity to solve its problems and better its economic position, explaining that all groups of people must be getting along reasonably well if the whole of the society is to prosper.
