u hornets nest among the
growers.
The grower insists that the
product Is his until he sells Il
and that he has the same right
to sell II on the track after his
car is loaded as he has before
the car is assigned to him.
The position of the grower is
that If he were allowed to
sell the car on the track to the
dealer paying the highest mar
ket he would frequently gain
several cents on the hundred.
For instance. under the rules
now in force. if a dealer who
is paying Sl.l0 a hundred
spots n car to grower the
grower is compelled to accept
his price for the potatoes not
outstanding that other deal
ers may be paying $3.50 to
whom he could sell if he had
the car with the right to sell
on the track. This condition
has occurred several times

son.
