Retrenchment the Kew

Elimination of wasteful practices in
administration and a close adherence
to the plan of the committee of seven
teen will mark the new regime in
charge of the U. S. Grain Growers.
Inc, according to a statement issued
last week at the Chicago offices by
c. H. Gustafson, president; James K.
Mason, vice-president, and Frank M.
Myers, secretary.
The statement points out that while
radical changes were made in the
board, the selections were made by a
majority of the membership, repre-
sented by elected delegates. "While
compulsory pooling was not direct
issue, the time came when the direc-
torate had to be either wholehearted-
" in favor of a pooling plan or in
favor Of the plan of the committee of
seventeen" the statement says.
{ 1t asserts that the company expects
to be in position to market grain for
its members in several Of the large
markets Swithin 80 days. With re-
spect to the attitude of the U. S. Grain
Growers toward other organizations,
the officers say they will do all in
their power to make use of existing
organizations, "but not at the expense
of sacrificing the original plan Of the
committee of seventeen"
The membership last week increased
2,506, to a total of 55,285. The in
crease in Minnesota was 1913 and the
aggregate 2,202.
Henry Lau of Tracy, new Minnesota
member of the board Of directors, is
one Of the outstanding farmers of the
state. He is interested in his local
elevator and widely known as breed
er of better seed corn.

On the complaint of a farmer, old
Ephraim had been hailed into court
charged with chicken shooting. His
lawyer had made a fairly good case
for him and for a clincher had the
plaintiff recalled, hoping to make him
contradict his own testimony.
