tions range from s268 tof$9O0.
Dodge Brothers also announced
material reductions effective today.
the grain in the pool is finally sold
thru the selling agency, which deals
directly with millers and exporters,
and saves the heavy expense of mid
dlemen. The title to the grain in
the pool is no relinquished until the
final sale is made.
The Grain Growers are not favora-
bfe to curtailment of productions,
but believe that with the+proper SELL
ing service all surplus over and a.
bove the 60O,O00,0OO or more bush
| els wheat needed for consumption in
this country, can be disposed of in
other parts Of the world, at a fair
and reasonable profit. There is no
intention of creating trust to un-
duly increase the cost of bread or
other products of grain, but it is
Eintended to guarantee a profitable
price to all grain growers members
Of 1.-The associations. The headquart-
ersof the association are in Chicago.
Among the capitalists of the coun-
try who are interested in the work
Of Financing the grain growers is
Barney Baruche and many of the
leading bankers in New York and
other states have expressed a readi-
ness to purchase the debenture' bonds
to provide all working capital nee
essary.
Ascampaign ofseducation,,s said Mr..
|Schilling, will be made to show cas-
tern penplesthe paed9of, rest toring ng4sprosi
lifts to agriculture as very few reafize
the condition which farming is now,
in and see it as we see It,. The aver
|age city resident thinks the farmer
lis wealthy, and that all were profits
in the sales of farm produce made
during the following the war.
The speaker said, to show. the fal-
lacy of this opinion, that a wagon
load Of hides, sold at present prices,
would not pay for the cost of. the
harness on the horses hauling the
load, and that in the south profits
on a bale of cotton would not buy a
suit of B. V.ED.'s. The speaker said
THAT Mr.. Baruch, one of the leading
financiers in America, is farmer
himself, owning cotton land and is
familiar with the situation has en-
listed his abilities and his time in
solving marketing problems of his
section of the country, and will as
sist in the work being done by the
Grain Growers for the west and
north.
Farmers are organizing and must
stick together.
The Board of Trade in Chicago is
attempting to fight the program, and
recently dispatch stated that a
large number of farmers of Illinois
had gone to Springfield to kill the
Lantz Bill, which would prevent spec
uldtion in futures on the Board of
Trade but the farmers were city
farmers, ball players and others who
looked like farmers, and their ex-
|penses were paid in special trains. It
cost, 1t is reported, $50 900 to finan-
ce the trip.
The recent decline in the cost of
seats on the Chicago Board of Trade
showed that the plans of the farm
ers to change the marketing system,
and prevent sales of wind wheat
promised to be success and that s
value OF a spectators seat on
Chicago Board OF Trade had shrunk
about half within the last few:
months. The wheat crop of this
country has been sold Sc times dur
ing the past year, with a profit of
over $50, 900, !, 900 to the SPECTATORS.
Foreigners bought our surplus wheat,
ma making a net profit of 80 cents 9
bushel to the sellers, who were not
farmers. ntwO years time the grain
growers will be in position to export
this surplus grain, and return the
profits to the prod dlcers instead OF
being absorbed by those who never
raise q bushel OF wheat.
Grain growers were asked to study
the plan and get information from
their county agents, and from the
executive com mftteei the headquart-
ers of which Is ID the Mallers Build-
