NEWS OF NATIONAL INTEREST
Three Big Events in Chicago This
Week.

Decisions of nationwide interest and
Importance will be reached in three
big meetings called to discuss Fruit
Marketing, Grain Marketing and Live
Stock Marketing on three different
days in Chicago this week. The i'm
portance of the meetings is apparent
from the interest shown in every sec
ton of the country affected by these
industries.
California is sending twenty-five
delegates to the Fruit Marketing Con-
ference and other states are sending
delegates from the fruit growing sec
tions. J. d. Pancake, who is one of
Colorado's delegates to the Ratifica-
tion Conference, Of the grain market
ing plan of the Committee of Seven
teen, will also represent Colorado at
the Fruit Marketing Conference.
On April 9Th. the delegates from
the grain growing states will either
adopt or reject the plan adopted by
the Committee of Seventeen. The plan
has largely been adopted at every
state meeting by practically unani-
nous vote, and if adopted at this
meeting will no doubt begin to func-
ton in time to handle this years
grain crop. Under this plan, the con-
sumer as well as the producer will
get relief as a result of its operations.
The second meeting of the Live
stock Marketing Committee of Fifteen
will be held on April 7th to consid-
er reports of subcommittee which
have been at work for some time on
the livestock marketing problems on
a nationwide basis. C. Z. Collins,
who is a member of this Committee
from Colorado, will represent the live
stock interests of this state.
All of these meetings will be in
charge of C. H. Gustafson, Director
of the Cooperative Marketing Dc
partment OF the A. F. B. F.

Advance News from Washington

Concerning impending developments
at the Capital Of interest to farmers,
the Washington Farm Bureau office
has this to say: THE possibility Of
an embargo being placed against the
importation Of certain agricultural
products passed with the announce
ment that the administration had de
cided, at the request of President
Harding, Immediately to re-enact the
emergency tariff legislation vetoed by
President Wilson. The statement by
President Harding indicates that the
schedules of the tariff legislation may
be changed somewhat and that it may
be limited to only few agricultural
products and be in the nature Of an
embargo. Undoubtedly a great deal
Of pressure will be brought to bear
to include certain items and strike out
others; it is impossible to forecast at
this time, with any degree Of accur-
acy, what the result will be. 1t seems
tariff action for agriculture will be at
tempted as soon as Congress convenes
on April 18th. 1t is a well-known
fact in Washington, however, that
great many members of Congress vot-
cd for the emergency tariff with the
belief that the President would veto it.
In fact, statements to this effect have
been made in the Records by members.
Whether these men will now assist in
passing similar Legislation when it is
certain to become law is a question.
