4 FARMERS GRAIN TRUST.
How Kansas Producers Me. and De-
feated a Monopoly.

The farmers who marketed grain at
Solomon, Kan, organized q co-opera-
tive shipping association, with q cap
ical stock Of $500 divided into shares
Of Sl2.JU each. No member could own
more than sixteen shares and the ma
jO-icy held only one share each. No
stocEhOlder was allowed more than one
vote in meetings Of the association. no
matter how many shares he held. This
was to prevent any individual or cor
pOration from securing a controlling in
Ierest in the stock OF the association
and running it contrary to its original
purposes.
An experienced grain buyer was en-
ployed Oh a salary as manager OF the
business. an elevator was leased and
on June Il, at the beginning Of the mar.
vest OF 1901, the elevator was opened
for business.
Under the bylaws Of the association
every member is required 10 sell his
wheat to the farmers associate but
a provision is inserted whereby ne NAV
dispose Of it outside of the association
by paying into the association treasury
q rebate OF | cent a bushel on all so
sold This provision is regarded as the
bulwarE Of the association and pre-
vents the syndicate from forcing IL out
of business.
Within TWO months after the associa-
ton had opened It's elevator il had han
died over lCOCCU bushels Of wheat
paying its members from TO 9 ceurs
below the Kansas City price. although
the normal price was 10 cents below.
while tho syndicate price was 10 cents
belOw-a clear gain To .he farmers of
from TO cents JusheI AS a result
rhe syndicate received very little grain
and kept its elevators running al lnss
Soon after the farmers elevator omen.
ed one Of the syndicates ordered the
price advanced to point that would
make the farmers dissatisfied with
what they were receiving at their orn
elevator and tempt them to bring their
grain to the syndicate. thus keeping tho
farmers elevator from getting any
grain, which, under ordinary circum.
stances, would force 1t out Of business
The syndicates had been paying IS
cents a bushel, but this one syndicate
advanced the price to 30 cents, while
the farmers elevator was paying 50
cents
Instead Of attempting TO meet this
advance the manager OF the farmers
elevator simply weighed the wheat for
the farmers as fast as they brought IL
in and then sent II to the syndicate ele-
vator to be sold for 80 cents a bushel
The farmer then returned to his own
elevator and paid in cent a bushel OF
what he had received, thereby netting
81 cents, considerably more than he
would have received had it not been
for the competition caused by the farm.
