During the war an experimental kelp-
potash plant was established BY the

that the plant could be made self-sus-

from the Summerland plant at Is

be made to pay the operating cost Of
the entire enterprise. It has been
definitely established by large-scale

they found the sentiment was strong
for Taft, they laid down on Fair

I'm 1912 they made the fight for
Taft delegates against Colonel Roose-

they secured from the Taft organiza-

I'm 1916 they tried to organize and
sell the Missouri delegation to Soma

chicago, June 24.-Direct selling of
grain by Illinois farmers instead of
thru the Chicago board Of trade is
now being Investigated by the I'LL
nois Agricultural Association and It
is sounding sentiment IN farming
communities Of the state. In the
nine congressional districts where it
has broached the proposal w. G.
Eckhart, director Of the associations

the meetings were unanimously for it.
The Illinois Agricultural Associa-
| ton is one Of the strongest state farm
bureau federations in the country. 1t
reports a membership of $4,000 and
is operating this year on budget of
SSSo,00O.
d. 0. Thompson, secretary of the
association, said in explanation of the
proposal that the association is now
holding q series Of meetings thru its
grain marketing department in every
congressional district in the state.
Their object is to consider plans for
improving the marketing of grain;
which in Illinois Is chiefly corn and
oats.
There are now 700 farmer owned
elevators in the state" continued the
agricultural association executive.
we feel that there is decided room
for more and are encouraging their
establishment. Their advantage for
a fa ap.Ypaa nfh n iy,c iSs
that they save him the profits on
handling grain that private owned
elevators turn to private individuals.
Farmer elevators also make a
competitive market at the shipping
point, where private owned ele-
vator having monopoly may set it's
own price.
I'VE are considering in connection
with the farmer elevators the possi-
with the farmer owned brokerage
house for handling the grain sold
thru these elevators At the present
time the farmers elevators handle
65 to 20 per cent OF the grain sold in
Illinois. In time I am convinced they
will handle 80 to 95 per cent Of all
Illinois corn and oats sold.
"A farmer brokerage house would
mean that instead of sending grain
to the terminals the farmers would
be able to sell direct to the big buy
ers, to feeders in the south, and to
the export trade.
This would cut down farmers
transportation costs and tend to elm
mate the speculative element in grain.
"The meetings held in the nine
congressional districts were attended
by presidents, secretaries and man
ayers of farmer elevators, presidents
and directors Of county farm bureaus,
and representative bankers. At the
close of each meeting we asked for
a vote on the farmer brokerage house
proposal, and in each case it was
unanimous.
81 think myself that such a step
is near at hand. If a house is estab-
lished, I cannot predict whether it
would be located in Chicago or down.
