For many years he was q Sunday

He took an active interest in the

ly under his control until it reaches
the ultimate consumer. His organi-
cation will undoubtedly be able to
provide a selling service at less cost
than under the present system. In
the end this selling service will en-
able the local organization to buy
this grain on less margin than it now
is bought and will also mean greater
patronage dividends at the end of the
year. This plan will make it possible
to start operations Immediately by
utilizing the existing local elevator
system, as many local elevator COM
panies are already truly cooperative

Consignment means that the grow
will deliver his grain to the local
organization for sale, the grower to
determine the time of sale. When
sold by the local organization
through the national sales agency
the proceeds of the sale will be hand
ed to the grower less the actual x
pense of handling that grain.
The grower must keep in mind
that the method to be used in handl-
ing the growers grain locally shall
be determined by the members of the
local organization. If rs per cent of
the members vote for any one plan
of the members must use that
plan.

national sales agency and, second,
bind himself to sell for five years all
his surplus grain through that ag-
ency.
The growers contarct will provide
that he shall deliver his grain to the
local organization affiliated with the
national sales agency. The local or
ganization may be either an existing
farmers elevator company which has
become affiliated with the national
sales agency or it may be a local
grain growers association. In either
cast the members of the local or
.ganization will be the members of
the national sales agency. An eleva-
tor company to become a part of this
system must meet these following re-
quirements:
1. 1t must be purely cooperative.
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1921-03-17

This means that the elevator COM
pany must distribute its earnings on
a patronage basis. Farmers eleva-
tor companies that are essentially
stock companies because earnings are
distributed only to stockholders must
re-organize and become purely CO.
operative if they wish to join this
marketing plan.
2. Stock ownership in the eleva-
tors must be limited to grain grow
ers. This qualification will bar re-
tired farmers and others who own
elevator stock and who do not quality
now as grain growers.
3. Stock in the elevator company
must be available at a reasonable
price to every grain grower in the
territory. Many elevator companies
may have to re-capitalize and issue
new stock to make this possible.
The intent is that every patron of an
elevator company shall have an OPP
portunity to become a stakeholder.
A. Stockholders will probably be
required to become members of the
national sales agency.
This plan to retain the existing
elevators as a basic part of the mar
keting system is a noteworthy fea-
ture. The plan will require the re-
organization of many elevator COM
if they elect to cooperate,
although reasonable time is to be al
lowed for reorganization. Where
existing elevators do not wish to o
operate, the grain growers of that
locality have the other alternative
form a local grain growers associa-
ton and provide for the handling of
the grain of it's members. This can
be done by any of the following
methods.
L. Contract with a farmers priv
ate or line elevator to receive grain
and load it for shipment for a handl-
ing charge to be agreed upon between
the local organization and the eleva-
tor company;

must provide an elevator. If it must

organization must finance it. Many

will be organized will be confronted
Immediately with the problem of Sc
curing elevator facilities. Initial eff
forts will be directed toward bring
ing existing elevator companies into
this marketing plan. Where this can
not be done, and in localities where
there are no farmers elevator COM
panies, members of the national sales
agency will form local grain growers
associations. Then these associations
will choose one of the methods out
lined for handling locally the grain
OF their members.
This plan does not call for scrap
ping the existing systems of farmers
cooperative elevators. 1t opens the
opportunity for them to cooperate.
Where they elect not to cooperate
it remains for the grain growers of
these localities to organize indepen-
IDENTIFY of them and provide for their
own elevator facilities.
The relation of the local organiza-
ton to the national sales agency is
the same whether it is a farmers CO.
operative elevator company or a To-
cal grain growers association. The
local organization must sign a five
year contract to sell all the surplus
grain to its members through the ma
tional sales agency. Thus we find
two contracts-one running from the
grain grower to the local elevator
company or local grain growers as
ISOLATION. and the other from said To-
cal organization to the national sales
agency. These contracts will be
binding and will probably provide for
liquidated damages if violated. They

Then each member must also sign
a contract with the national sales
agency to sell all his surplus grain
(wheat, corn, oats, rye, barley, flax,
etc. through the national sales ag-
ency. This contract will run for five
years. Surplus grain is taken to mean
all market grain-grain not used by
the grain grower for seed or feed.
Members may be permitted to sell
their local mills for local milling pur-
poses but not for resale purposes.

are now being drawn by attorneys
of the Committee.
Three Methords of Selling
Three plans have been provided
for handling the surplus grain of
members. Each local organization
will decide by three-fourths vote
which plan it will use. Briefly these
plans are:
1. Pooling;
2. Direct sale;
8. Consignment.
Pooling is the ideally cooperative
method because under this system
every grower receives the same price
for the same quantity and grade of
grain that is pooled. Where grain is
pooled the local organization will be
empowered to sell the grain at such
time as seems most advantageous.
Pools may cover any period up to n
year. At the end of the pooling per-
iod the local organization will return
to the grower the average price re-
ceived for the grain of his kind, va
riety and grade, less the actual ex-
pense of handling. Just what this
handling expense will be is not
known, but it must be enough to
maintain the local and the national
organizations. The grain grower has
every reason to expect that his own
system of marketing will not cost
him as much as the other mans sys-
TEN of marketing, which is the pres
system. Handling costs will very
in local organizations and will de-
pend upon the efficiency of the local
managers, the cost of maintaining an
elevator, volume of grain handled,
etc. The handling charges of the ma
tional sales agency will be uniform.
Under this plan of pooling, the local
organization may direct when grow
shall deliver their grain to the
elevator because it is immaterial
when the grower sells as he will re-
ceive the average price received dur
ing the pooling period.
Pooling involves the problem of fl
nancing and advancement to the
grower of a certain per cent of the
price ultimately received for his
grain. Just what per cent will be
advanced has not been determined.
This may be 60 per cent or rs per
more or less. This point will be
by the national sales agency
which will take care Of these advan-
through its financing plan. Pool
ing insures the grower receiving the
price for his grain depending
on kind, variety and grade. If the
pool covers the period of a year he
will receive the average price for that
year.
The Committee of Seventeen has
gathered statistics which show con-
,lusively that growers, under the
marketing system, market rs
