mittee of Seventeen" This committee
is the most important of all named
by Mr.. Howard and its decisions and
recommendations will be watched thru
out the nation.
One of the main purposes of the con.
ference is to put an end to the "present
practice of selling grain, cotton and
other farm products which the sellers
do not own at the time of SALE"
The committee is going into the
subject of buying imaginary grain,
chiefly wheat and corn, which never
existed except in the minds of specu-
lators and men operating on the boards
of trade. This practice has an adverse
effect, says the American Farm Bureau
upon thre entire grain market and has
been a detriment to grain growers.
Formers and Elevators.
The "Committee of Seventeen" has
spent five months studying grain mar
keting and it's evils.
It will urge the establishment of
farmer-owned elevator companies and
sales agencies to operate on local and
terminal markets throughout the land
and in the farmers interests.
Further recommendations to be
made are, export companies to market
grain abroad and sales agencies to OPP
crate on foreign markets directly rep
%resenting the producers and not the
spectators.
The committee is determined to
bring about reforms Of the abuses
from which wheat and other grain
growers now suffer.
They will demand that the grain ex-
changes throughout the whole country
beopered to ~farmer-owned commission
companies and that grain producers
perfect a system of cooperative mar
keting based upon the principles which
have been so successful on the Pacific
Coast and known as the "California
Plan"
Goodby to Grain Gamblers.
Above all, the practice of short SELL
ing is to be stopped, if the Committee
of Seventeen" can accomplish it's pur-
pose.
The movement to market grain CO.
operatively is meeting determined OPP
position on the part of grain dealers
and manipulators who all along have
found wheat and orr a spectators
paradise and have made immense pro-
fits which rightfully should have gone
to the producers.

ka, president of the Nebraska Farm
Bureau Federation, is chairman of the

SIN the past the farmers of Anne
themselves to trading among them
selves. They gave no thought of laws
of supply and demand and took what
was offered for their products.
Gin many sections this is still the
case, but a change is coming because
the World War taught the farmer that
he must begin to function in relation
to the whole world.
"The American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton has for it's biggest job the
placing of agriculture in its proper re-
%lationship to other industries. Its re-
%lationship is not proper at present, but
this will be corrected.
Would Prevent Cutting Market BY
WhOlesals Dumping.
"Under present economic conditions
the producer of wheat must sell his
grain direct from the thresher and the
cotton grower must sell his cotton di-
ect from the gin because neither is
provided with adequate storage facil.
ties. Dumping any commodity upon
the market means lowering the price
then and there.
at is our aim to correct these ills
w Il gaining III JitIlSlH udllN dH1
hope to be able to have a voice in shap
ing important legislation, both national
VI state.
"We do not favor congressional ac,
ton in those things which the farmer
can remedy himself. However, it is
worthy of serious thought on the part
of everyone to find a way to insure the
farmer more than a mere living on the
farm. He must have cost of produc-
ton plus a reasonable profit, the same
as industry demands. He only asks
fair play.
o the Farm Bureau Would Function
Distribution.
The problems Of distribution of
farm commodities are most perplexing.
I'VE are trying to solve them by the
appointment of national committees of
representative farmers from practi-
cally every state to study the parti-
cular problems in which a certain
group of producers may be interested
For instance, we now have a commit
tee of II farmers who will devote time
and study to the solution of co-opera-
tive grain marketing.
"A similar committee will be com
posed of livestock raisers from all owe,
the United States to study livestock
marketing. There will be national
committees to study the marketing of
cotton, truck, fruit and wool. Also
the construction of bonded warehouses
for the storage of such commodities as
now tend to glut the market by being
dumpet wholesale when systematic dis
tribution V e a period of months or
a year would help to keep the price
steady.
Maintain Steady Market by Uniform
distribution.
For instance, it might be possible
to release wheat and orr or cotton
and similar commodities from bonded
warehouses in regular quantities over
y period of - months. Each month a
N%detinite proportion Of the crop would
reach market or manufacturers to keep
industry supplied and prevent over
production and over-supply with conse-
ouent reduction in demand and a drop
in prices"
President Howard SAYS that the Am
erlcan Farm Bureau Federation will
get behind every worthy farmers or
ganlation which needs support.
