cipal whcat-growing States has been
organized with at least 81 per cent Of the
growers signed up under afive-year con-
tract TO deliver all their wheat.
2--ln case of overproduction in any
year il will be necessary to store the sur
plus and perhaps cut the acreage the follow
ing year.
3-The interests of the public are to
!. be protected by including on the board of
directors, with full voting powers. repre-
sentatives of the Department of Agri-
culture and the Federal Trade Commits
sion.
Reviewing the question, MIR. Lyman
says the proposal that the farmers take
unto themselves the power to fix abso-
lutely the prices for their products has
met with considerable approval and has
been the cause for the building up of
cooperative agencies. The assurance has
always been he suggests, that if the pub
lie is given square deal, the public
will feel much safer with 100000
growers than with $4,000, 900 SPECTATORS.
Mr.. Lyman points out the opposition
which was offered to the Capper-Vol-
stead bill in the last session of Congress
because the opposition contended the
farmers wanted to form a "price-fixing
monopoly" Not only the wheat farmers
are interested, for the question extends to
every producer, he insists.
,'Elf we believe the plan is sound and
want it to succeed" he adds, 'sit seems
obvious to me that there are certain
things to do, and without delay. In the
first place, will it not be necessary to come
to an understanding with the consumer
and with one of the consumers chief
spokesmen-the American Federation

FARMERS PLANNING
TO CONTROL PRICES
Definite Steps on Proposal as to
Wheat Will be
Considered.

Washington, Aug. 5-Plans by which
organized farmers VIII put into opera
tion gigantic pricc-hNing monopoly

iuencc in extending such a pr ogram to
producers of all other food commodities
will be considered by the National Board

held IN Columbus. Ohio, September |
to :. according to announcement last
night from the headquarters OF the or
ranization.
The plans already have taken shape
and received the Endorsement of one or
yaniyation Of farmers. Committees are
studving them and preparing for final
action. fhe evidence offered is that for
the FIRST time the nation Is 20 be. con-
frontcd hv the question of orga nizatlon
vt farmers to control the prices of their
products
With the announcement went forth a
warning to the members OF the National
Board of Farm Organizations IN which
Charles \ Lyman. secretary, insists that
be interest Of the consumer and hls
attitude toward a farmer prlce-fiXlng
monopoly must be first ascertaincd, that
nn alliance must inevitably bee had with
one organization represent ing the con
sumcrs. the American Federation ofIabor,
bat there Is danger of an onslaught from
consumers enraged and encouraged by
cltv politicians and that through the
tremendous advantage m voting power
the consumers or city population might
"a retaliation take from the farmer what
hps been gained IN the way Of cooperative
organizations for the distribution OF farm
products
APPROXIMATELY 4.00G farmers grain

tstes more than three-lourths Of the farm

here Is general feeling on the part OF the
self.hclp organizations that grain marketing
methods should be improved. there Is
still a Justified belief that cooperative

Some improvement was reported by
the department in late cotton in North
Carolina, but no material change was
indicated in South Carolina. In the
latter state, tho department said
weevils were doing much damage in
the central and southern portions and
were increasing northward toward
Lancaster county.
The crop made fair to excellent pro-
gress in Oklahoma and fairly good ad-
vances in Texas; fair crop being in

and light rains in Arkansas were fa-
vorable in that state although the crop
continues in poor condition in the
southern portion and lowlands al
