FARMERS TO COMBINE.
international Trust Nav Be Re-
suit of a Conference.
THEY WILL HOLD THEIR WHEAT.


Minneapolis, Mimi, April 13.-All
the farmers of the world iii a sort OF
international trust to restrict the
production of wheat and raise prices
is the plan which it is hoped TO carry
into effect al the international agri-
cultural conference in Paris, July 9-16.
1t is proposed to ask the farmers OF
the world to reduce their wheat out
put by 20 per cent and not to sell a
bushel for less than 81
J. c. Hanley of St Paul. Mimi.
executive agent OF the Farmers Al
lance and Industrial union. the
national cotton growers association.
the farmers federation of the Missis-
sippi valley and the national grain
growers association, is the chief
promoter in the agricultural trust in
America.
Prof. G. Rutland of the University
of Fribourg, Switzerland. is the chief
promoter OF the plan in Europe.
The idea was conceived by these
two men Independently. Mr.. Hanley
who has been interested in many
hOld-your-wheat schemes, is promi
nently associated with the farmers
elevator and various cooperative un
dertakings. He has long believed
that if the farmers would only come
to an understanding as to limited
production and agree to sell only
when their price could be obtained
they could easily master the situa
ton.
| AS professor of economics Prof
Rutland had come to the same con
clusion. His study of the agraria1
problems of different countries lee
aim to believe that the only cure fol
the widespread troubles of farmers
which are more severe in the old thar
the new world, is to restrict produc
ton.
Both were hard at work getting h,
idea into practice when they encOun
tered each other through correspond
ence. Since then they have beer
working with a common idea. viz
To persuade the interna tional agri
cultural congress to indOrse the plaI
and recommend it to the various
national associations for application
next year.
While 20 per cent reductionin acre
age is desired, Mr.. Hanley points our
that if only 5 per cent can be secured
the worlds wheat crop will be reduced
about 125, 100000 bushels, which i!
enough to bring the price at Liver
pool up to 81. To help out the effect
of a restricted production the far
mers are to hold their wheat for 90
days and are to market it at not les:
than ST bushel.
almost everything the farmer
buys" said Mr. Hanley, lis regulated
in price by some trust. On the Other
hand, all that the farmer sells has it,
price determined by the competition
of all the rest of the farmers OF thu
world. The farmers propose to unite
stop ruinous competition among
themselves and to make the wOrlC
pay a fair price for their product "
/ Following the Paris conference it il
hoped to have established a perma
nent international grain growers as
