METHOD FOR MARKETING
AMERICAS WHEAT CROP
viii be Worked Out at National Con
vention of the Wheat Growers
Association
tAssociated Press)

Wichita, Kan; Jan. "a financial
plan to control and market wheat at
a price based on cost of production
plus a fair profit" will be worked out
at national convention of the Wheat
Growers Association of America
early in the spring, it is announced by
W. H. McGreevy, secretary and treas
Irer.
Organization of the association, the
membership of which exceeds 100000
according to Mr.. MeGreevy, will be
completed in the early months of 1921
in the wheat producing states of the
middle west, he declared. He includ-
&c Minnesota, North and South Da-
kota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma,
Texas and parts of Colorado and Mon
tana.
''The financial plan to be adopted is
one that will enable the wheat grower,
who requires money to carry him over
the period while he is waiting for
suitable marketing conditions, to bor-
row money On his wheat at a reason
able rate of interest,"" said Mr.. Nc
Greevy.
1.-The pooling plan of holding ouI
wheat requires the wheat grower to
sign agreements which are binding
and effective. wherein he agrees tc
market no wheat until the price of oul
association, based on cost plus a fair
profit, is received.
'The wheat grown by the member!
Of the association shall be marketed
Gradually and uniformly throughou
the year as the flour mills and the ex
porters may require to supply tn,
Legitimate demands of trade.
"That no injustice may occur TO tn
wheat growers, while holding thei
wheat to be marketed under thi
plan, a storage price that will be fai
and just will be allowed to the whea
grower for each month he is require
to hold his wheat for proper market
irg conditions. This storage pric
, will enable the wheat growers to de
. liver their wheat uniformly to maEke
Throughout the year without discrimi
i nation and injustice to any one Q
them.
"In answer to the question some
times asked as TO the meaning of th
words on our membership card
: where a member signing agrees Il
! abide by the regulations adopted b
5 such organization for the purpose {
Regulating and marketing the pric
of our wheat after 1919 would ss
:. that this obligation of our membe
S snip is necessary to a Uniform al
: concerted action by it to accomplis
e the objects of our association.
"All rules and regulations a
adopted by our membership either
d national convention or by committe
e 50 authorized by it; so that all OBJ
i cations of our membership are of
e own choosing and are not at any tin
a arbitrarily forced upon it"

q. G.. Il. Service.)

New YOrk-On "Wednesday of last
week the delegation of the newly
organized "Agudath Israel arrived in
America for the purpose of acquainting
American Jcwry with the aims and pur-
poses of the reccntly-established organ
ization.
The "Agudath Israel" has aroused
considerable opposition and much
hatred in East-European countries he
cause of its unfavorable sta d
towards the Zionist Organization and
towards fundamental Zionist aims.
Much of the theological basis of the
"Agudath Israeli movement rests on
the theory that Palestine must he re-
established as n Jewish theOcracy. 1t
is opposed therefore. in essence. to the
secular nature of the present Zionist
or ganzation.
DIR. Birnbaum, the head of the Delega-
ton sent to America, is n wcll-known
character in Jewish affairs in Europe
whose reversal on fundamental pheno-
was very close in spirit to the i'll
tlucncc of the tragic events thruOut the
world swung his mind to religion so that
he became strictly observant and n firm
adherent of Judaism DR.. Birnbaum is
the author of numerous works on
sociology and philosophy.
DR. Hildesheimer. one of his col
leagues, is son of the wellknown
Rabbi Hildcsheimer.

to build and equip the medical school

There were 500 physicians in the

Proaaksos~Ail,sr y aesaeias who clWia
to this country for the specific pur-
pose of raising funds for the Hebrew
University in Jerusalem made the chief
part as follows:
"The Jewish students have always
been handicapped in their pursuit of
knowledge. In many countries the
universities and higher schools were
closed to them except to a small per-
centage. In some of them, while no of
fetal restrictions existed. there was a
tacit understanding that no Jew should
be admitted to higher grades of profess
sorship.
"The existence of the Jewish Univers-
Iity in Jerusalem will give an Op
portunity to the Jewish mind to eX-
press itself and to receive due credit.
The Medical College will undoubtedly
Ike the most important department of
the University. as we Jews have always
cxcelled in this particular branch of
science"
