Grain Marketing Plan Unanimously
Agreed Upen By . States April Z.

President J. r. Howard Of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
says that this plan marks sun-up for
the American farmer. Secretary OF
Agriculture, Henry G. Wallace, strong
ly favors it, pointing out three reas-
ons why: first, 1t avoids weaknesses
that have broken down previous or
CARNATIONS and b uilds on principles
that have been found sound in the
past; second, 1t does not undertake to
wipe out great marketing machinery
built up through long period; third,
it does not attempt to create mon
opoly nor to fix prices. This great
system as it is put into action and
continues to grow, with the whole
hearted cooperation among yourselves
will enable you to market your crops
more cheaply and more uniformly
through the year and secure for them
fairer prices for producer and con-
sumer.

been a decided Improvement In export de-
mand in their section, and the basis is

the new crop Will begin to move in any

spot demand has encouraged hope in
some quarters that any distress cotton will
be marketed before fresh supplies begin
to come in. According to Washington ad-
