Outlines Objects.
ss5 Governor Nestos in his speech out
lined the proposed objects of the
meeting. saying that it was his pur-
. nose merely to suggest possible rem
efies and to crystalline this sentiment
in this state to foster and support
grain marketing organizations. ne
also suggested that efforts might be
) made to induce the federal govern
1nent to extend credit to foreign
wheat buying countries, encourage
i storage Of wheat on the farm, even
- ro' so far as to enact legislation
4 ~ hermit the bondingsof the lSranar.
ie. IN the farm. This latter sugges-
fion would thus, he said, permttsoi
storage receipts being issued to the
{ uacr as collateral for loans.
The governor also brought out fore.
.Ih,v the need Of making q distinction
hefween durum and spring wheat foi
milling in government statlstlcs as tne
figures are misleading when the twe
are combined. as only tne lA.ter
which is the lesser portion OF the two
!, = used for bread purposes. l
