OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of the National
Wheat Growers association. which
has been signing 100 per cent pooling
contracts for this years crop, said his
board of directors would have to pass
on the plan adopted yesterday which
call for optional pooling. In any case

Northwest Group Beaten.
The northwest group which also
was defeated in it's fight for compul-
sorry pooling, should come into the

its own organization and continuing
its 100 per cent pooling contracts, ac-
cording to the view of George c. Jew

day. Jewett is general manager of
the Northwest Wheat Growers associ-
alton, which is the selling agency for
state associations in Washington,
Idaho, Oregon and Montana.
Il am going back to recommend to
the 1000 members of the Northwest
Wheat Growers association that they
join the new national marketing cor
poration," Mr.. Jewett said. II will
recommend that they maintain their
present form of contract calling for
100 per cent pooling; that they main
tain their organization and that they
harmonic their interests with the ma
tionaI body in such a way they may
become proper part of the large
national movement.

plishment of these things has not been
worked out, but it is expected that it
such a way that the Northwest Wheat
Growers association can come in as an
organization" "a
