AUDITOR REPORTS WHEATCROWERS
RECEIVED AVERAGE OF Is CENTS
BUSHELS MORE THAN NON-MEMBERS

The Idaho Wheatgrowers Association netted
members 18c a bushel over the average market price
received by wheatgrowers outside the association, and
members should feel remarkably well pleased with
the results obtained, according to the statement of
the Edwin A. Wilson Company of Twin Falls which
made the audit, completing it July first. Copies of the
audit have been mailed to members of the association
in the various parts of the state.
A difference of ST. 20 a hundred between the peak
and low price received for the wheat over the season
was q condition almost without precedent and result
ed in considerable amounts in excess of the average
price, being paid members of the association whose
wheat was in the early pools that were sold. This diff
ference according to the report was over $4,000 and
will be compensated for when the next crop is har-
vested.
Directors of the Association anticipate that the
general expense of their organization will be greatly
reduced this year. First the preliminary expense of
organizing an office will be eliminated. Second the
volume of wheat handled will be incomparably great
er. Third, interest paid for Temporary advances, in
surance, and miscellaneous general expense will be
materially lowered, due to a steadier market and bet
ter organization.
The average price received by the Association
was $170R per bushel. The total expense amounted
to S .12H per bushel and the reserve to supply work
ing capital amounted to S .03A per bushel making a
total deduction of .15H per bushel. Directors believe
that this amount can be materially reduced during the
coming season.
