The hunter who nome with a

LEAGUES PLAN

Cooperative Marketing Scheme Better
Than That of Cal. lila
Fruit Men.

The plan for co-operativ" !arketing
Of wheat advocated by / agricul-

Forum at Fargo, N. d. 'verthe-
less. Il coming fact. How The adj
vocacN of cooperative mHtlarting by
the Forum is simply to detract from
the Nonpartisan League plan of manu-
facturin& the wheat into flour within
the state. Its scheme is to give Il
body blow to the mill and terminal
elevator system now in process of de
velopment at Grand Forks. by advucat-
ing something different. for political
effect.
Whatever may be said in favor of
cooperative marketing of whpataac-
cording to the California prime and
rlisin plan, which is right and bound
to come, nevertheless. the North Da-
kota plan does not conflict with mat
scheme in the least. bus is ever an i'm

Huge Annual Saving.
ON the basis Of Il 100000, 900 blshel
wheat crop the saving to North Da-
kotl farmers on the b~i-productS alone,
reckoning a profit of 5000 Il ton. will
amount to not less than S3.OOO.OOO
annually. Moreover the bran and
shorts are needed. at cost. for the on
enlargement Of the livestock industry
especially for d~airying-but which
the general plan of cooperative wheat
marketing, advocated for political our
poses by the Fargo Forum, would cost
the farmers Of the state $4,000, 00GOO
more than by the marketing plan now
being developed by the Nonpartisan
League and opposed by the Forum.
Then in addition there would be the
freight to pay. In the final ANALYSIS
it simply means Il saving of $4,000. 900
plus the freight, to North Dakota
farmers. under the League Plan. as
against $4,000, 600 profits to the mill
ing combines of the Twin Cities. or
from whatever source the Bran and
shorts would ONE II shouldn't take
farmers long to decide for whom the
Forum is giving its services.
The cooperative plan for marketing
wheat is all right. but the North Do-
kota plan. which does no CONFLICT. is
infinitely more economical, since it re-
tains within the state the elements of
fertility that otherwise would be ex-
ported.

manufacturers of Japan In a critical
position Production in nearly all
centers has either ceased or been re-

Iowa Farmers
Cooperate to
Purchase Stock

The Iowa State Union Incorpora-
tod, with n following in its own mem
bership, and thru cooperative con-
neotion with other organizations,
numbering about 10000 individual
farmers, has established an order
buying agency on the South st. Paul
1.-Two stock market. according to news
from the Union stock yards there.
This is n new departure for the
Iowa State Union, and it IL wholly
hon-profit and cooperative. It's pur-
pose Is to furnish farmers Of Iowa
and adjoining territory an agency
where they can buy tho hardy wes-
tern cattle and hogs for their own
feed lots without going into the
hands or the spectators. Until now
this buying has gone thru various
spectators who have become n fix
ture in the South st. Paul market,
these spectators taking the live
stock from western farmers who were
bringing thin cattle to market, sort
ing them, feeding them day or two,
and then resellins them to Iowa and
Illinois farmers Mt substantial ad-
vance in price.
1t is expected that this advance in
price will be absorbed by the new or
ganization, or ip other words that the
advance in price will not take place,
MS the purpose Is to establish direct
dealing between the sellers and buy
ers. and to furnish the feed buyers
with their live stock at the lowest
reasonable prices. The new organiza-
ton, 1t is announced, will work In
harmony with the Equity Co-Opera-
tive Exchange in tho same market.
which was the first farmers selling
agency to be established there.
This new live stock venture follows
n campaign for membership in which
more than 40 meetings were held.
and In which live stock marketing
was one OF the features.
