FARMERS TO SOLVE
MARKET PROBLEM
Soil Tillers' Delegates to Gather In
Chicago to Ratify Proposal of
Committee OF Seventeen

CHICAGO. April 6.-Ratification of a
national cooperative grain marketing
plan proposed by the Farmers Grain
Marketing Committee of Seventeen will
be taken up for consideration here today
ut conference of farmer representatives
from the - important producing
states of the country.
Delegates to the meeting number 107.
all of whom were chosen at state meet
ingS held by the committee in March.
Delegates We're apportioned on the basis
of the average value of grain marketed
i'm each state during the past 10 years.
The chairman of the ratification con-
ference will be ]. X. Howard. president
Of the American Farm Bureau fedora
ton, who in July of last year called a
national marketing conference that led
TO the creation of the committee of sew
cLteen.
The final report of the committee will
be presented today by its chairman. G.
III. Gustafson, a Nebraska farmer who
heads several large farmers cooperative
organizations.
IF the marketing plan and the recon-
mendatiOns of the committee are ac-
cepted by the conference. it will result
in the immediate formation of farmers
national grain marketing company, Mr..
GustafSon said. The hearty approval
with which the plan was received at the
state meetings indicates that several
thousand existing cooperative elevators
will at once affiliate with the national
grain-marketing company. so that it can
handle an appreciate part of the 1921
crop.
Although the committee of seventeen
is made up of representatives from many
different farmers organizations. who had
been trying to solve the farmers market
ing problems in many different ways,
every member of the committee is agreed
upon the proposed plan"
