But part of the land will go to other projects. More low-cost houses, for example, might be built on a 100-acre section of the land if the co-op can get the necessary Federal loan.

Plans for the new land also include a "vegetable bank." Co-op farmers would use part of the land to grow vegetables, and would then freeze them for distribution to hungry families throughout the rest of the year.

The Co-op is located in one of the most chronically-depressed regions of the country. Sunflower County, like the rest of the Mississippi Delta, has a heavily-black population, but the black families there live on a median annual income of $450.

Land owning has been a particular problem for the Delta blacks. In Sunflower County-where the biggest land-owner is Sen. James Eastland (D.Miss.)-only 71 of the county's 31,000 blacks own any land.

To get the money the co-op needs-from the $46,000 land payment to the $1500 price of a freezer for the vegetable bank-Mrs. Hamer has begun another national search for funds.

The co-op's representative at Harvard is Lester Salamon, teaching fellow in Government. Salamon said yesterday that contributions could be mailed to Freedom Farms Co-Op, c/o Quincy House office #4.
