sales days be discussed, but the mat
ter of purchasing sacks, freight rates.

jects important to the farmer VIII
also be discussed at length.
| Especially will the subject of grain
sacks come in for discussion. Sacks

is constantly advancing. The farmers
feel that this is an unreasonable price
and steps will be taken to investigate
to ascertain IL the conditions warrant

movement ever started In VnhNiIa

the leading wheat producing counties

Several million bushels of wheat are
marketed in this county every year
and the farmers feel that if a small
fraction of a cent on each bushel is
saved, or If a small saving is effected
in the purchase of grain sacks, that
the organization will have accom-
plished its purpose.
