WHEAT POOL REJECTED

Declaring the project not feasible,
the resolutions committee OF the ma
tional board of farm organizations
has rejected a plan drafted in COM
mittee for the formation of a nation
wide wheat pool, to be controlled by
farmers, according to news dispatches
from Columbus, Ohio, where the
board has been holding its sessions.
1t was pointed out to the committee
members that the proposed pool
might be a violation of the Sherman
antitrust law. The best farmers
could hope for, it was said, was the
right to market their products coop
eratively.
