At the mass meeting Of farmers held
last Saturday. for the purpose Of de-
Gliding as to whether it would be ad-
visable to build a new cooperative ele-
vator or to consolidate with the Farm
ers' Cooperative Elevator Co., it was
the general sentiment that it would be
preferable to unite with the present
organization. With that purpose in
view coWmittee of six was appointed
to solicit subscriptions for shares at
$50 each in the Farmers Cooperative
Elevator Co., the proposition being that
forty or more shares must be taken in
this concern at the above price When
this condition is met there will be a
reorganization of the company It. is
thought that there will be no trouble
in securing the required b. number of
shareholders and strong reorganiza-
ton may be looked for. The farmers
have taken very sensible move in re-
gard to this elevator question, as the
building Of another elevator here is
hardly warranted.
