FUTURE OF GRAIN
GROWERS ASSURED
Organization Head Tells
Of Great Work
SPEAKER IS AT WINDOW
More Than 1900 Farmers In
Minnesota HaveFJoined In
Four Months
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.l


Window, Mimi, February 1S.-The
future of the United States Grain
Growers Inc, as national coopera-
tive grain marketing organization,
rests upon its ability to obtain for its
members more money for their pro
ducts than they have been able to
obtain through privately owned chan
nels of distribution, G. H. Gustafson,
president of the growers, told produc
ers of southwestern Minnesta at
meeting here today. Efficiency of
operation and elimination of wasteful
practices will accomplish this end, he
said.
From an organizational standpoint,
the future of the company is assur-
ed" he Ssid. I'VE now have more
than 4,7300 members in twelve states
Something more than 110,000,000 bu-
shells of grain are under contract for
FIVE years This work has been done
at a cost of less than one fifth cent
per bushel We have elevator affil-
iations at more than 1000 local ship
ping points. If we did not obtain
another member, We would still be a
powerful factor in the grain markets
The big task ahead of the officers OF
the company and of the delegates
who are to attend our first annual
convention to be held at Chicago
March 81, is to establish sales facii
tiles that will market this grain eff
fcently and profitably." r
The Work In Minnesota
Mr.. Gustavson said plans for this
undertaking are being made but that
no final eclsion would be made un-
til after the March convention The
grain growers president spoke high
ly of organization work in Minnesota.
More than 1880 farmers of the
state have Joined N four months" he
said. "The campaign is being extend
ed as rapidly as necessary ground
work can be done. A recent capitu-
lation shows that 5000, 10000 bushels
of grain already is under contract in
this state alone. The most prominent
farmers-men who work exception
ally large acreages-have been
among the first to join"
Explaining the necessity for indiv-
idual contracts, he said the organi-
cation wanted as members, only men
who mean what they say and say what
they mean, in writing If necessary
There is no intention tC be arbitrary
In the matter of contract enforcement
but we insist that every member has
before him in legal form a statement
showing his obligations to the com
pany and what he may rightfully ex-
pect of it." he declared ..fI

Animals To Be Serious Menace
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.l
Duluth, Mimi, February 18.-Num-
erous reports of the boldness of
wolves in northeastern Minnesota
this winter indicate, according to old
time trappers here, that the timber
wolves. driven from their haunts by
extreme hunger really are becoming
a serious menace.
Not only have the wolves preyed
upon deer in the forests and sheep
capes of settlers from unexpected at
tacks of large packs Of the beasts
have been recounted here
Running in large packs as OF old
when settlers dared not to leave
their homes at night time, wolves
are reported to have invaded poultry
sheds and even stock barns in quest
of food. "r....s
To combat the danger, settlers and
farmers in some communities have
organized hunting clubs to search for
the beasts in groups and to defend
settlers homes should thew be made
the object of an attack by 4 pack,
However, because of the deceitful
cunning of the wolf, little in an Of
fensive wsy has resulted from the
efforts of these clubs
So great has become the menace
that the farmers, especially those
who have herds Of sheep, are max
ing extensive plans to enclose their
pastures with woven wire fence in
the hope of repuisi2g attacks OF the
settlers common enemy.
Driven to desperate attempts TO
secure the least morsel of food this
winter. the wolves IN large numbers
have fallen the prey to the many
trappers operating throughout the
region Many expert trappers report
unusually profitable business this
winter, the return being boosted BY
the SIS bounties received for wolf
pelts. One man reported here when
be brought three wolf pelts in, that
his receipts for Wolf hides and pelts
had amounted to $500 so far this
, winter

United States Senator William NJ.

gave considerable time to current
problems in agriculture. and especially
cooperative marketing.
II have held TO the position right
along" said the Senator, that co.
operation is not combination. The
Sherman and Clsvton acts forbid COM
binations In restraint OF trade, but
they encourage associations designed
TO foster trade. Farmers asked for
this cooperative law, 70 that they
might be able to do a larger and safer
business fouEded upon scientific trade
principles. They did not ask to be
released from responsibility tor acts
Of commercial or industrial oppres-
sion. They only asked that by afirra-
tive action Congress recognize the
principle Of collective bargaining"
Summarizing the work Of Congress
In solving farm problems, Senator
Calder said: "The present Republican
Congress amended the Federal farm
loan act, providing an additional fund
Of S25,0o0,000 for the Federal Farm
Loan Board. This makes available for
that important farm loan agency a

campaign speech tonight asked his
audience If it desired to be represented

In this manner DR.. Copeland charged

went on. "The water-power interests
resisted all Mr.. Smiths efforts to be
put under the regulating power. Of the
state, but we have put through legisla-
tion which prevents their old charters
being stumbling blocks any longer, and
which conserves the rights of the .peo-
pie. There is the story of how the
corporate interests Jared under Mr..
Smith, and how they have Jared under
me-"
Discussing the executive budget, the
Governor called attention to the "frn,
patient, consistent courage" of Presi--
dent Harding in backing General
Dawes against Treasury raiders, which,
he said, illustrated the fact that an
executive budget such as Smith de-
mands will not make the machinery
Of government work unless the head
Of the administration resists the re-
quests Of special interests, a thing
which Mr.. Smith has boasted he did
not do.
