Plan Formulated
For National Wheat
Growers Agency

the closing session of the national con-
ference of representatives of Wheat
Growers association from ten states
in this country, which ended here
yesterday afternoon, plans were made
for establishing national selling
agency, through an amalagation of
all the state associations.
The amalgamation to serve as a
central agency is to be called the
American Wheat Growers, Associated.
Geo. c. Jewett, Minneapolis, general
manager of the Northwest Wheat
Growers, Associated, Geo. E. Duis,
Grand Forks, N. D., president of the
North Dakota Wheat Growers as
sociation nd w. H. McGreevy, Car
men, Okla, were chosen as a COM
mittee to draft a plan of operation,
constitution and bylaws to be pre-
sented later to the boards of directors
of the various state organizations for
adoption.
The salient features of the plan
discussed at the meeting is as fol-
lows: two. trustees from each state
association would form a central
board of trustees for the American
Wheat Growers, Associated, this
board to be vested with power to
sell all the wheat Of the organization
which is diverted into channels out
side OF the section in which it is
grown, SO as to avoid competition be-
tween state units. This board would
also serve in an advisory capacity in
regards to local sales, thus having
control of all wheat offered on the
market. 1t was also the sense of the
meeting that the American Wheat
Growers, Associated, should be in.
corporated, with capital stock OF
otherwise, at the discretion of the
board of trustees.
A central selling agency would be
established, as well as sub-agencies at
the various tleminal points wherever
it is deemed advisable.
Among the speakers who took part
in the discussions was w. C. Robin.
son, of London, England, represent.
ing Heatly & Co., European agent fo,
J the Northwest Wheat Growers, AS.
sociated. He pointed out the need o1
organized effort on the part of the
American producer, in order that he
might take full advantage of the
world market. Individualism must be
subordinated to cooperation; the
speaker pointed out, for the reason
that it is not humanity possible fol
the individual farmer to act efficiently
in the matter of marketing his pro.
duct.
Senator F. C. Cliff of Ortonvillt
was also invited to give his view o1
the remedies needed to bring about {
better system of marketing. His re
marks were greeted with enthusiasm
by the Wheat Growers present. H.
pointed out that farmers must orga
nize and adopt the same business
tatics as other industries if agricul
ture is to survive. Cooperative marke
ing, he said, was the only thing tina
would stabilize price of the farm
ers' product for it would give the pro
ducer the same advantage on tn,
market that the line elevators now en-
joy, but the difference would be tha
the growers would reap the profi
!; which formerly has gone into privat
hands. recommendations were ais,
made that the work of organizing tn
growers in Minnesota and South Da
kota be undertaken as soon as pos
sible.

This includes forests of Idaho, Wash

grazing allowance of these two dis
tricts is approximately $4,000 cattle

The development of the Columbia
Basin project will add to the state OF
Washington another such great sheep
producing center as the Yakima Val
ley now is. At preesnt the Yakima
Valley is the sheep center of the state,
the hub of the industry, with its Won
derful hay production, and trails lead
ing in all directions to summer ranges
in the forest reserves. The warm, dry
weather, together with the bountiful
production of alfalfa hay makes the
territory ideal for wintering and for
feeding ground. Here the ewes can be
held until they are shorn and the
lambs are large enough to go onto the
ranges. Here also the "cut-back"
lambs, those too thin to be marketable
in the fall, can be fattened for later
sale in the spring when there is a
scarcity of fresh lamb and mutton
The Columbia Basin is going to be
just such another center to this i'm

THE ENFORCEMENT ACT

Last week witnessed one of the bit
terest nights ever enacted at Annapo-
lis. With the advocates Of absolute
prohibition lined up on one side and the
vets" out for blood on the other, a
battle royal was assured.
10 the ordinary layman the whole
proposition was so jumbled up il il
difficult TO draw definite conclusions.
The original bill had as its object util.
iE'hg state and county forces for the
Enforcement of bone dry law. Be-
cause Of its drastic nature the measure
lost many delegates who would hive
supported II in more reasonable form.
Soon friends and enemies began to
tack on amendments until the original
hiii lost lots of its force. When test
votes came the lines were clean cut
with those classed as "drys" coming
on as victors in the majority OF cases.
The amended bill has been sent on It's
tortuous journey, but still has hard
row to hoe before il becomes law.
we have no sympathy for the wills.
Key interests, but on the other hand
we have little patience with paid "dry"
agitators who would condemn all TO
perdition who do not agree with them
an every detail. Their very aggres.
siveness raises danger signal as to
ther sincerity and lessons their efrec-
uVeneSs by driving away logical
friends Of their cause.
The vote Of Harford's delegation
was no surprise as the line was pretty
closely drawn on this issue during the
primary campaign. While all may not
agree with delegate Norris on his dry
stand, none can fail to admire his
spunk in consistently sticking to his
guns when all his colleagues lined up
on the other side.
After all. is not the subject being
approached from the wrong yiaw
point? Legally prohibition is an ac-
fact while actually this is
Tar from true. Just 80 long as reput.
able citizens wink at bootlegging and
violations of liquor laws the measure
will be Of little value no matter what
enforcement acts are passed. At pre-.
sent there are too many people willing
70 slide through every available loop
hole. Until the public can be made
zee the economic and moral wisdom of
further laws will be Of
little value. II is a mans sized task

THE CrRE FOR HARD TINES

THE CIRE FOR HARD TINES
Since the period Of depression has
set in hundreds Of lcf0rmcrs and would
Dc economists have offered cure all
.uiutions 10 public which was grasp
ing for an easy way out. Many Of the
plans were purely theoretical, othcrs
were strongly sOcialistic and still 9TH
ers had no merit whatever. The con
sequence is the public ha. formed all
sorts Of conclusions ana every street
corner orator can give you new rea-
son for hard times and the cure.
The period Of depression was newt
able. During war times money flowed
freely, work was abundant and jobs
easy, credits were stretched almost to
the breaking point, and little business
was conducted on substantial, per
manout basis. At the conclusion OF
the war the world once more started TO
get on sane basis and the crash came
for those who were satisfied only with
an easy living.
soon the agitator- and theorists be-
gan to rant and tell u what would
bring back flush times. None Of these
struck the true note and il remained
for sound thinking business men 10
give tho true solution for hard times
Work. BY this We mean Work spelt
with 4 capital letter, not limited by
scant hours Of half hearted effort or
dependent upon eXorbitant pay.
One Of our young farmers struck the
key note few days ago. While 9th
ers were freely recounting the hard
ships they had stood during the season
and predicted utter ruin for the coun-
ty this young man casually remarked:
81 paid --- hundred dollar. off on
my mortgage this season" When his
astOundcd audience asked how he had
done il he replied, by staying home
and working. While some of our
prominent farmers were riding around
discussing hard times | was putting
the same energy on growing and har-
vesting crops" For such man as
this success Is inevitable whether his
calling be that of farmer, carpenter OF
what not.
There is no royal road to success and
there never was time when sheer gr,
and energy was more at "A premium.
The world is rapidly getting sick of
the indolent habits war times nurtured.
II is demanding viril men who think
for themselves, have the interests of
sound government at heart, and are
not afraid TO contribute their part to
the worlds welfare through hard work.
For such men hard times will moi exist
for If ono opportunity is shut of they
will doggcdly hew another road to sue
cess.

our shoulders squarely behind our
tasks and stop dreaming of the days
