HUGE FARM MARKET
TO Sell GRAIN ON
COOPERATIVE
S100, 100000 Organization
Plans to Eliminate Mid
dleman's Profits.

New York. May 2s.-The greatest
agricultural marketing organization
in the world was launched here to-
night when plans were completed
for the Farmers Finance corpora
ton.
The corporation. which was form
ed for the purpose of handling the
country's grain crop on a co-opera-
tive basis. will have a capitalization
of 500, 100000 and potential pow
er Of at least $1,000, ,oo0,ooh, Incor-
poration papers will be filed-jp Do
yer, Del, next week.
VIII Function Immediately.
According to officials. tile corp ora-
ton will begin to function immedI-
ately, and may be able to handle a
portion of this years crops. The
principal objects of the organiZa-
tion were described as follows:
elimination of speculation IN
grain
Sterilization of grain prices. with
equal benefit TO farmers and con-
suneis.
Increased acreage, with conse-
quent greater production.
Abolition of unnecessary costs by
direct shipments and elimination ot
middlemen's profits.
II this experiment Is successful,
ii was stated. farmers organiza~
tIons throughout the country will
apply the same principle to other
agricultural products. The United
states Grain Growers, Inc, OF which
the Farmers Finance corporation Is
a subsidiary, will form another sub
sidiary to handle grain exports.
Plan to Handle other Products.
Committees similar to the one
which has just completed organiza-
tion of the finance corporations are
now at work on corporations to
handle livestock, fruit, milk. ana
dairy products. tobacco, poultry
garden truck. and cannery products
c. H. Gustafson. president of the
new organization, explained that
the finance corporation Will have
1000, 900 shares of nen-voting stock
with a par value of 500, which will
be sold only to grain growers. The
voting stock consists of but Il
shares of nondividend-payin
shares, held by the United States
Grain Growers, Inc, and will be
voted b ythe latter's directors. BY
this system the officials believe they
will be able to insure permanent
control of the finance corporation
by bonafide farmers,
VIII Sell Bonds to Public.
Additional funds will be raised,
as needed, through the sale of bonds
to the public, with the enormous
quantities of grain and the paid-in
capital as security. Through this
means the officials are confident they
will have potential financial
power of at least $1,000, ,e00, 900, and
possibly as high as Sk500, 100000
in the future.

GIVES GERMANS,
CHANCE TO CUT
INDEMNITY Bill
Discounting B on d S for
Cash May Afford Her
Opportunity.
Especial Cable TO The wsshington Herald
and United Nevs.)
Nv CHARLES NJ. MCCAIN.


and United Nevs.)
BY CHARLES NJ. MCCAIN.
LONDON. May s2.-Germany may
cut her indemnity bill of s33.ooo.-
600. 900 almost in half, it developed
here tonight.
The possibility arose from the
fact that the allied countries are
so anxious to get real money from
Germany that the long-term bonds
to be issued from Berlin probsbl
will be offered to investors at a
heavy discount. possibly as much
as so per cent.
"ConsiderabIe- Reduction.
Austen Chamberlain. leader Of the
house of commons, has stated def
nitely that Germsny's indemnity
bonds will be marketed as soon
as possible at a considerable re-
duction." According to British finan-
ciers, the emphasis in ChamberIain's
statement comes on the word CON
siderable"
Germany's bonds are to be
turned over to the reparationk
commission. The copmission. ac-
cording to present plans. will de-
eide when-and if-the bonds are
to be marketed.
The reparations commission
plans to safeguard the issue in
every way possible and the first
bonds to reach the market will
not be in large lots.
Buy Back at Discount.
Germany's chance to reduce her
indebtedness lies in the fact that
she can buy back her below par
bonds. 1t is believed the individ
uaf Germans. to whom a 1000 mark
note has that exact value, regard
less of what others think of "a.
will be the ones to purchase the
bonds from investors of other ma
tions.
Involved in German purchases f.
the possibility that Germany will
hang back on interest payments
rather than create a bull mar
ket" for the notes by promptly
meeting them. The allies do not
guarantee the bonds and financiers
hope that Germany will show her
intention of going through with
her reparations payment by taking
up large amounts for herself.

a very small payment on a piece of
land-enough to give him a foothold
and who had a lot of hard work in
him, and who had a good wife, as
most of them have, has been able, by
living very economically, denying
himself and his wife the luxuries and
many of the comforts of life, to hang
on, paying out on the farm, and
finally to see it growing into a val
