TT was pointed that If the mar
keting plans of the American Farm
Bureau Federation COMMITTEE OF 10
r finally adopted the cost of produc-
ton will be used undoubtedly as the
basis Of future marketing of the crop.
< !. s. s. Marketing Plan.
THE Committee of IL is working
toward a marketing system, somewhat
in accordance with the methods fol-
lowed by the Fruit Growers Exchang-
es of California which nave been in
successful operation for the last 10
years. These plans comprise h fol
lowing:i First, a cooperative selling
organization which will be a non-stock
company operating without profit and
selling the crop direct from the pro-
ducer to the miller thus eliminating
all unnecessary middle mems profits
and speculation. This organization will
attempt to distribute the sales of the
producer over the entire IL months OF
the year rather than to permit the
Cutting of the market in the new fall
months when the farmers ordinarily
sell their wheat. Second, a bonded
warehouse association which will be
a stock company but which will never
buy or sell a bushel of wheat since II
WIZ dSI, PUTTY do d COACCl Us
Farmers will have the control OF this
warehouse giR each state and will re-
ceive the income from storage from
the selling price of the crop.
The basic idea Of the organization
hinges around$sa legal contract with
the individual producer covering a
period of years in which the farmer
agrees to sell his product only through
his owl association. Since the produc-
err ordinarily must have money in the
fall, the bonded warehouse association
will issue warehouse receipts which
are bankable paper to the extent of
about 1870 of the estimated selling
price of the product, Thus the farm
ers will be able to nance heir years
expense but at the same time the
trolls the sale OF the sale Of the pro-
duct.
= gsy:.PPractically the only difference be-
tween some of the cooperative ex-
onsthea Pacific coast and such
IAN exchange for wheat growers con-
:sists of the number of producers. 1t is
contemplated that at least 51% and
preferably 1870 Of the wheat growers
should unite in this tremendous organ
ization. Unless more than one-half OF
the wheat is thus controlled through
the cooperative exchange it will not
be possible to control the distribution
of the. crop of the country.
when the details of the plans are
perfected and the methods Of hnanc-
ing are worked out. the whole system
