Lancaster Farming, Saturday. Sept. 14.1974
Dr. James Beattie, Dean'of Agriculture at Penn
State, told a farm cooperative meeting in Lancaster on
Tuesday that he sees a change for the better in public

educate the public about the
aims and objectives of the
coops. That’s part of the

“Many directors who are
elected to cooperative

perience can lead to bad
mistakes, not just by big
cooperatives, but by small
ones as well,” Detweiler
concluded.
