Farmers ship Traln Load of wheat.

A lot of farmers in Oklahoma county
banded together and shipped a train
load ct wheat TO Kansas City. The
Times-Journal makes the following
sensible remarks on the venture:
ut is frequently asserted that com
mission men and railroads always com
bine TO prevent the farmer marketing
his own wheat. This of course has
never been true, but that did not pre-
vent the idea becoming generally prev
alent. This train of wheat belonged
to farmers and was handled By farmers.
They got the highest price ever real
lied by farmers in Oklahoma But
their success does not argue that the
grain men always make large profits.
1t is risky business and men break
up as often as they win. Occasionally
a dealer gets rich but big per cent
of the grain dealers break.
