addressed the audience on the sub

ber of the executive committee, and
one of the leading men engaged IN
the preliminary work of this national
organization, which is operating thru
the American Federation OF Farm
Bureaus. The Grain Growers AS :
sociation is separate and distinct from
the Wheat Growers Association, as
the grain growers expect to handle
all kinds of grain, while the wheat
growers will handle wheat alone. The
Grain Growers will make use of the
present system of marketing thru
cooperative elevators as far as pos
sible, and secure other storage and
elevator facilities where needed.
There is a difference in the plans Of
the two associations. The Wheat
Growers require 100 per cent compul-
sorry pool, while the Grain Growers
permit the, selling of grain OF all
kinds on the market and consign-
ment made to the Grain Growers
Selling agency. While the Grain
Growers urge the 100 per cent pool, ],
as far as possible, that is not q re-,
ouirement as it is desired to avoid
any legal difficulties which q COM
pulsory 100 per cent pool might in
yolve under the Sherman Antitrust.
