Especial to The Argus.)

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 13.-Con-
servation and caution are two of
the aims of farmer-owned grain
marketing system, according to R
1. Mansfield Of the Chicago Board
Of Trade. The benefits of a ma
tional organization of grain grow
ers would be many, survey among
producers made by the Illinois Ag-
ricultural association revealed.
In the last of series of three
articles, issued by the state agri-
cultural association, is given the
following result of the survey:
The national movement for a
farmer-owned grain marketing sys-
tenn, the Illinois campaign of which
began last week in LaSaIIe and
Mclean counties, is a struggle rem
iniscent of the opposition waged
against the first farmers coopera-
tive elevators.
The new grain marketing corpor-
alton has six organizers at work
among farmers and elevators in
each of the counties Organized
grain dealers have their represen-
tatives busy lining up opposition to
the farmers campaign.
The aims of the organized grain
dealers, as expressed in signed
statement from r. l. Mansfield of
the Chicago Board of Trade, are:
ITO acQuaint the producer with
the extreme danger of abandoning
the competitive markets for any
untried system of cooperative mar
keting based on a nationwide pool
ing of grain.
ITO spread the doctrine of con-
servatism and caution.
ITO emphasize the necessity of
retaining sound economic beliefs
and practices.
ITO oppose all class legislation
and the attempt of special interests
to bring about bureaucratic con-
troll. a thing foreign to the basic
principles of this country, and tc
establish a closer bond of friend
ship and good will between the pro-
ducer, the dealer and the consum-
err"
The s250,0O0 fund pledged by
grain interests is not a ~propo-
ganda fund" as has been charged, |
Mr.. Mansfield says, but is for
an educational campaign among
farmers"

FARMER-OWNEDG GRAIN MARKETING
SYSTEM TEACHES CONSERVATISM
AND CAUTION, MANSFIELD SAYS

, ed that cooperative farmers were
''Townleyites.
Beware of the bolshevist, the
socialist and the anarchist" he is
quoted as having said. Look for
the gang that wrecked North Da-
kota, that leaped into Illinois over
night, and under the guise of the
'people'ss friends spread a most
deadly poison-the same poison
that Russia knows. These cats
have severed the cord between the
farmer and the grain dealer COM
petely in some parts of America"
The farmer has only set about in
an orderly way to create his own
grain marketing company, says c..
H. Gustafson, the Nebraska farm
er, who leads the new corporation.
''The grain grower is not seek
ing special class legislation. He
neither needs it nor believes in it,
But If you tell the farmer of today
that the present grain marketing
system is perfect and cannot be i'm
proved upon, he will not believe
you. He knows better and has
learned by experience. He knows
that there is something wrong with
a farm credit and marketing sys-
tenn that compels farmers each year
to dump 70 per cent of the grain
crop on the market within so days
in order to get ready money, and
then see the Spectator take the
real profit from their grain"
The farmer is well within the
bounds of economic justice in or
ganizing his own grain marketing
system, maintains Howard Leon
ard. president of the Illinois Agri-
cultural association.
"Other business men market their
own products-why not the farm
err" Mr.. Leonard, asks. at is only
economic Justice, not alone to the
producer but also the consumer"
The greatest and most signif1-
cant test of farm organization in
all its history" is now at hand, de-
clares A. J. Bill, agricultural editor
of the Bloomington Paragraph.
Il have watched and reported
the farmers work and purpose in
to make their own grain
to better stabilize the grain
and make it more nearly
reflect the years supply and de-
he says, "and l have a pro-
found respect for their organized
efforts and accomplishments. They
have worked together as never be-
fore, worked deliberately and sin
cerely and with much investigation
and expert advice"
