National Grain GroUers
Will Assemble in Cost
Finding Conference

Chicago, Nov. 27.-With seven.
cent bread predicted and the world
a billion bushels short in its wheat
crop, grain farmers of the United
States took big step here today to
relieve the situation when call was
issued to organized growers to meet
in Chicago for special cost-finding
conference to be held December 8-9.
The meeting is called by the Ma
tional Council of Farmers Coopera-
tive Associations representing 300,-
900 organized grain farmers in nine
leading grain states whose business
this year, according to Department
of Agriculture estimates, will total
one and half billion dollars. The
grain farmers will come together un-
der the auspices of the National Con-
ference on Marketing and Farm Gre
dts in the fourth annuol session at
the Hotel Sherman December 40.
"The organized grain growers are
not in favor of an embargo on grain
EXPORTS" according to Herman w.
Danforth of Washington, ILL.,, presi-
dent of the National Council. "They
contend that the law of supply and
demand should be allowed to work
unhampered. They maintain that an
embargo on one product would be;
class legislation. Our farmers pre-,

fer to overhaul present marketing
methods from country elevator tt
export markets"
The Equity Cooperative Exchange
representing 10000 organized farm
ers of the Northwest, will participate
in the Conference. The Canadian
grain growers will send a delegation
and a speaker. The Farmers Grain
Dealers Association Of Illinois, Kan
sas, Indiana, Minnesota, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Ohio, Nebraska,
and Iowa are arranging to send del
egates. Two train loads of North
western grain farmers will be head
ed by Governor Lynn J. Frazier.
'Tt was the grain marketing prob
lens of the North Dakota farmers
that finally brought about the revolt
of the farmers, and formation of
the Citizens Non-Partisan League
that endorsed farmer candidates for
political offices from top to bottom
and split old political alignments up
in the election just held" said Sec
retary Charles W. Holman of the Ma
tional Conference on Marketing and
Farm Credis. "The farmers now are
ready to take hold and run their
state with men who will see that
