worked out at national convention
| OF the Wheat Growers Association
| Of America early in the spring. it is
announced by w. n. McGrecvy. Sc

months Of 1921 in the wheat produc-
ing states Of the middle west. he de-
clared. He included Minnesota.
North and South Dakota. Nebraska,
Kansas, Oklahoma. Texas and parts
of Colorado and Montana.
New Financial Plan
"The financial plan to be adopted
is one that will enable the wheat
grower, who requires money to carry
him over the period while he is wait
ing for suitable marketing cOndi-
tions, to borrow money on his wheat
at a reasonable rate Of interest.
said Mr.. McGreevy.
THE pooling plan Of holding our
wheat requires the wheat grower to
sign agreements which are binding
and effective, wherein lie agrees to
market no wheat until the price of
our association, based on cost plus
a fair profit. is received.
The wheat grown by the men,
bers of the association shall be mar
keted gradually and uniformly thru
out the year Is the flour mills and
the exporters may require to supply
the legitimate demands of trade.
TO Regulate Storage Price
'"That no injustice may occur to
the wheat growers. while holding
their wheat to be marketed under
this plan, a storage price that will
be fair and Just will be allowed to
the wheat grower for each month he
is required to hold his wheat for
proper marketing conditions. This
storage price will enable the wheat
growers to deliver their wheat uni
formly to market thruout the year
without discrimination and injustice
to any one Of them.
I'm answer to the question some
times asked as to the meaning OF the
words on our membership cards
where a member agrees TO abide by
the regulations adopted by such Or
ganiZation fer the purpose or regula-
ting and marketing the price OF our
wheat after 1919. | would say that
this obligation Of our membership
is necessary to a uniform and con-
certed action by it to accomplish the
objects Of cur association.
"All rules and regulations are
adopted by our membership either
in national convention or by com
mjttees so authorized by it: so that
all obligations of our memberships
are of it's own choosing and are not
at anv time arbitrarily forced upon

Plan Decided On

Wichita, Kan. Jan. 7.-Creation
of sales commission which will
have charge of marketing some five
hundred million bushels OF wheat
raised by members Of the National
Wheat Growers association, was de-
cided on today at meeting or the
executive board of the association.
It was announced that the plan is
the outgrowth of the recent farmers
strike" when the association issued
q proclamation calling on its mem
hers to withhold wheat from the
market until the price reached $3
bushel.
The commission will determine
the amount of wheat to be marketed
in each state each month. to provide
a steady flow Of wheat thruout the
wear, rather than hasty marketing
of all grain at harvest time.

that Cedric became Sir Cedric De
La Roche, or knight Of the crag,
taking his name from the very spot
where his resource changed defeat
to victory.
From then through the bitter
days of King Stephen. with It's

And coming to the end Of this

in imagination to those great
hearted men who tore from royalty
their just rights and made possible
these United States Of 1891.

we are in no condition to carry out
the balance Of the program.
Not that there is the least mental
strain involved in the perusal Of the
saccharine pages Of Mr.. Wright's
latest effort at world regeneration by
means of the novel. The plot Is as
obtrusive as the skeleton Of Gigantic,
