A unanimous decision to promote q
membership solicitation campaign fol
the United States Grain Growers was
the action taken by the Wayne county
farm bureau directors after hearing ar
explanation of the plan of the company
given by two of the organizers at .
meeting in the courthouse Wednesday
afternoon.
A brief history of the causes which
led to the formation of the grain sell
ing agency was first given by ]. +
Scholl, who referred to the findings Of
agricultural inquiry commissions, the
Roosevelt country life commission
Wilson's commission, and Independent
inquiries by the farmers organiZa

Reduce Margins
Co-operatives in other countries
said the speaker. have invariably beer
able to make great reductions in the
margin on which the products of mem
bers are handled.
That the United States Grain Grow
ers is not a monopoly for fixing hlgf
prices, or intending to work any in
justice to grain handlers who perform
a legitimate and useful service, was
| emphasized by the next speaker, Lew

Mr. Shuttleworth, who was born II
Delaware county, is captain of one o

Strong testimony to the success o

by the speaker, who had several years

and every community establishes ont

ana have been due only to following
unsound and homeopathic prin

Four Local Outlets
The plan of the company, said tn,
| speaker, will allow for four local out
