ed Nevada State Marketing Associa-

Lyon county was the first to secure its
quota in the proposed organization

jcct to dues only i'll the department

ketable products would be informed

aud how he can best take advantage of
it.
No Marketing Guarantee-The asso-
ciation would not undertake or guar
antee the marketing of any product
1t would undertake, however, to sup
ply every possible timely information
to producers as an aid to marketing; F;
to seek local and outside markets for
products to establish and recommend
basis of fair prices from time to
time on products Of local sale, such
as hay and grain: to investigate plan
and report feasible ways and means
to remedy any marketing situation
and OF do all reasonable things else
within its ability to improve the mar
keting situation and dispose of such
products.
1t is further contemplated that the

ment requiring credit in the better
marketing or disvosal Of its products
will act as committec to confer with
banks and ascertain the terms and
conditions. and, if practicable, pro-
vide the ways and means for obtain
ing such credits.
County Organization
Similar to the General Association
Each county branch association
would be organized on plan sim
liar to the general association, with
like officers, executive COMMITTEES mar
keting councils and departments. The
chairman of each county marketing
council would be the representative
member on the like marketing council
OF the general association, i'll the event
that his county is one OF the largest
producers of such product.
County Employees, Expenditures and
Dues-Through its representatives on
the marketing councils OF the general
association, each county would be IN
formed of the nature and extent OF
the service it could expect IRON the
general association. 1t would now be
entirely in its discretion to supplement
such service with any additional SER
flee and to pro-rate the cost OF the
same among the local producers bene-
f;ted In general however, 1t is not
anticipated that such necessity would
arise except in special instances.
Summary
The particular merit OF the foreso-
ing plan of organization may be sum-
married. as follows:
Firstly combining in one general
association all farm and livestock pro-
ducts, a co-overative division OF over
head costs is effected. thus reducing
the market assessment on producers to
the minimum;
Second-The total assessment tor
the marketing OF any product is de-
voted to the marketing OF that prod
uct exclusively no member is charg-
ed for any marketing service IN whioh
he is not "a producer nor is liable tor
more than his equitable pro-rata there
OF, and
Third-The marketing OF each OF
the major products, hay livestock
and wool, potatoes and grain is gov
erned independtly by marketing
council of producers of such prod
nets. with all minor products grouped
in charge OF council OF producers
thereof until such time as the pro-
ducers of auv one of such minor prod
ucts wish to create and iinance the
same as an independent department
y-Growers and Stockmen-lt is
obvious that under such plan no con-
Aict of interest could arise between
the buyers and sellers OF hay within
the association. On the Other hand
| II am persuaded that the service
which the information division can
render stockmen relative to market
ing livestock and wool will be found
