Last Day In Signing
Saturday was the last day for
signing elevators and associations in
North Dakota for the 1921 crop. Or
ganizing work from henceforth will
be confined to the signing of indivi-.
dual contracts for the 1921 crops.
and elevators and associations for
the 1922 crop. There have been sign
ed 101 elevators and local growers
associations. according to Mr.. Bur-
dick, including five Equity elevators
which signed Professionally, upon
the concluding of arrangements be-
tween the national Equity officers
and the United States Grain Grow
ers. j. NJ. Anderson. president of the,
Equity, has just wired that such an
agreement was reached in Chicago

q H. 3. Fuller secretary OF the North
Dakota Farm Bureau federation, re-
turned Sunday from Chicago, where
he attended. a conference of delegates
from II states, to go over matters
connected with Grain Growers In
some states there had been some dis
satisfaction on the part of Farm
Bureau officials with the work of the
Grain Growers, but a complete agree
ment was reached at Chicago, and
the work of organization will now be
pushed In all the grain growing
states. with the American Farm Bu-
reau federation everywhere lending
its hearty assistance.
Officials of the United States Grain
Growers are expecting considerable
in the way Of developments from the
visit of Barney Baruch. financial
advisor of the Farmers Finance cor
poration, to Europe. 1t has been Mr..
i3aruch's contention that the farmers
should sell their grain by going di-
rectly to those who wish to buy. It
is believed he will make arrange
ments by which the United States
Grain Growers will be able to dispose
OF most Of their surplus direct to
Europe without paying any middle
man. In Germany Mr.. Baruch was in
conference with Hugo SHINES, Ger
many's greatest financier. 1t is thot
not improbable that he may visit
Russia before his return to Amer
lea, in view of Russia's present great
need for food. and the fact that trad
ing has now been resumed between
Russfa and the United States.
The 1O1 elevators that are mem.
bers of the association are located in
the following named counties:
Barnes, Burleigh, Bottineau, Cass.
