The formation Of a secret ORGAN

yesterday by representatives OF the

evolve. they said, was cooperative
marketing that would eliminate
many OF the expenses now incurred
in hauling food. and while increas-
ing the return 70 the producer en-
able the consumer to purchase his
foodstrffs ut a lower price.

commenting on the combine report
1T Is. however. entirely possible
to handle the grain crop by co-op-
erative means in such a way as TO
cut down costs all along the line

reducing the price to the consumer.
IL is a plan OF this kind which the
federation has in mind. In view of
the effect such a plan OF distribution
