MARKETING SYSTEM

AMERICAN FARMERS FEDERA
TIoN TAKES UP THE MAT

Omaha, Neb., Dec 10.-Representa-
tives of 10000 farmers organizations
throughout the United States gather
ed here today for the first convention
of the American Farmers Federation,
which was organized last August at
Kansas City. The convention opened
at Hotel Millard this morning, with J.
A. Everitt of Omaha, president of the
federation, presiding. Aside from
the completion of the organization
work, whereby all farming districts in
the United States will be combined
in the federation, the one big prob
lem that is before the meeting is the
perfection Of marketing system The
various forms of this measure were
discussed by able speakers, and they
provided for the establishment of a
central system that would work with
the present local farmers associations,

1t was pointed out that the local or

its infancy, and many Of the delegates
from remote sections were not alto
gether sure that such big body would
be able to benefit their particular To-
cality, the meeting took on an enthu-
siastic aspect from the start. Tomor-
row and Saturday further meetings
are to be held, for further considera-
tion and discussion Of the practical
points of organization and scope of
work to be undertaken
It Is estimated that the small
amount of two cents per acre for land
in cultivation will provide sufficient
funds to establish the most efficient
central organization. It is expected
that the federation will approve this
plan of financing the plan.
The big central idea, as advanced
today, is the formation of a system of
county or district clearing houses re
porting directly to a national clearing
house on crop conditions and avail
able supply. The national clearing
house would undertake to meet pre-
vailing demand at any given terminal
market and prevent congestion of the
market, which so often brings loss to
the producers.
