The "Committee of Seventeen" has
spent five months studying grain mar
keting and its evils.
1t will urge the establishment of
farm-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
operate on foreign markets directly
representing 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
Exchanges throughout the whole coun'
try be opened to farmer-owned com
mission companies and that grain pro
ducers perfect system of coopera'
tive marketing based upon the princi'
pies which have been so successful on
the Pacific Coast and known as the
California Plan"
Above all, the practice of short sell
ing is to be stopped, II the Commit
tee OF Seventeen can accomplish It's
purpose.
The movement to market grain CO.

and manipulators who all along nave
