leading farmers organizations of the
nation here today.
Henry C. Wallace, secretary Of ag-
riculture, conferred with farmers on
marketing plans and assured them of
government assistance In selling
their grain.
Wallace declared there was just as
much reason why the government
hould assist the farmers in develop
ing methods for marketing co-opera-
tion as there are in aiding them in
increasing production. II ~. ~

state ratification convention, the Min

join with practically every other state
in voting, to ratify the plan to create
a cooperative farmers grain corpor-
alton on a national scale. Twenty
three states sent representatives to
the meeting here today. o. - -
The convention was to elect a ma
