nounced at the office Of the Equity

ers in this district have pledged a to-
tai Of 100 cars or 120, 600 bushels of

loan, known as the war finance COR
poration loan.
Under a pooling plan. a farmer
draws so per cen of the value Of his
local grain as soon as it is marketed.
The grain is put into actual storage
and is sold as the market needs it.
thus, it is kept off an overloaded mar
ket.
1t was explained at the Equity
Grain Growers pool Office that the
war finance corporation loans permit
farmers to make their tax payments
which become due next month, ana
give them an opportunity to hold
their grain through the period of de-
preston. 1t was also stated that the
price of wheat is now 20 cents less a
hushel than what the quotation was a
month ago.
Reports received show that So

trtct. Barnes county farmers have
pledged 17.77s bushels, and Kragnes,
