SPUD MEN TO MEET
AT COURT HOUSE TOMORROW TO
FORM LOCAL MARKETING
ASSOCIATION

Tomorrow afternoon farmers in the
vicinity of Little Falls will assemble at
the court house in Little Falls for the
purpose of organizing q local associa-
tion of the Minnesota Cooperative Po-
tato Exchange. The meeting is called
for 1880 p. m. Farmers have shown
great interest in this movement and
there is demand for quick action.
Articles of incorporation will be adop-
ted and officers and board Of direc"
tors elected.
E. P. Nauertz, one of the directors
of the State Exchange and 9. b. Camp
bell, county agent, will be present at
the meeting to outline procedure and
take up the work Of organization.
More than 30 locals are ready to at.
filiate with the State Exchange and
probably twice that number will pc
in operation before the crop is harvest
ct. Michigan with similar organiza-
tion has been in operation about two
years and has 95 local associations.
The Michigan Exchange, says G. E.
Prater, sales manager, "shaved the
dealers margin from 4Sc down to &c
per cwt. and saved the Michigan farm
ers the neat sum Of 81 $50, ,714."
The Minnesota Exchange will mean
more to the potato growers than the CO.
operative creamery to the dairyman,
or the CO. operative livestock shipping
association to the stockman.
Potatoes are a perishable crop, sub.
ject to quickly huctuating market and
thru necessity in the past, have been
handled by discriminating buyers on
speculative margin.
The new marketing association elm
mates guess work. Thru its daily te!e-
graphic market quotations from the
larg gest cities, growers protect them
selves against shipping to an over
stocked market. By selling the pota
toes on the pooling plan the grower as
sumes the risk and receives the highest
market price for his product:
Every potato grower in the vicinity
of Little Falls should attend the meet
ing Saturday.
