Farmers' Unions.
Co-operative effort continues to hold the interest of Maine farmers. The 180 local farmers' unions in the state for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1920, did a business with the central body at Waterville exceeding $3,000,000. This does not include the business of the Aroostook federation of farmers, who bought large quantities of fertilizers, spraying material, etc., as well as sold a sizable portion of their crop in an organized way.
There seems little doubt that Maine farmers did co-operative business last year of over $5,000,000.
