STOCK PRODUCERS
TO Be PROTECTED
BY ASSOCIATION
Employment of Experienced
Agent Expected to Elimi-
nate Further Trouble.


INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. April so.
After wrestling with the livestock
marketing problem for several
weeks. OFFICERS OF the Indiana Fed
Grafton OF Farmers associations and
members OF the permanent live
stock committee OF the organization
believe they have evolved a work
ing plan which will be Of great
benefit and protection TO the stock
producers OF the state and shippers
from adjoining states Under the
proposed plan the federation will
have an experienced livestock agent
as It's representative at the India
uaDOlis stock yards. and later at
uther yards about the state. whose
duty will be TO look after all shin
ments which are consigned through
his care. a small fee OF one cent per
head on hogs. calves and sheep.
and four cents per head on all cattle
20 be added.
The federation is to pay the sal
any OF the livestock agent. who in
no way VIII serve as a commission
broker. One of the features of the
new plan is that the producer may
cOnsign his shipment 10 the com
mission merchant with whom he has
been doing business through the
farmers agent, or he may leave the
matter entirely 90 this agent, who
in turn. will place the stock at the
disposal Of the commission mer-
chant best able 10 handle the con-
signmcnt. Officers Of the fedora
ton believe that with an active rep
Tcsentative at the yards looking

much trouble which has been expo
rienced in the past can be elimin-
ated. They also point out that IL
viii give them q better chance to
cooperate with farmers organiZa-
tiOns IL neignboring states. The
small fees to be collected for the
service are 20 be turned over to the
