CORN BELT FARMERS
WOULD BACK BUREAU
If HIT HARD, CLAIM
Cspecial to The Palladium. }

CENTERVILLE, Ind, May q
Corn belt farmers would support the
farm bureau even more strongly II
they had been as hard hit as the cot
ton farmers" said F. P. Boyle, of the
farmers state cooperative buying
agency, speaking to the Center town
ship farmers Monday night. In this
state, farmers have not been as hard
hit as in the south where they realize
that organization is vital necessity
if they are to continue farming"
Formation of commodity organiza
tions such as live stock shipping asst
Citations, dairy marketing companies
and cooperative elevators is used b,
many farmers as an excuse for nc
joining the farm bureau, said the
speaker. They say these companies
will save them money and pay profit
on their fees. What they do not re-
alize is that such organizations have
been planned, organized and support
ed by the farm bureau, and in almost
all cases would not exist now nor con-
tinue to exist without the farm bureau.
Urges Coal Purchased
Purchase of coal at once if any is
needed during the next 80 days was
advised by Mr.. Boyle, who stated that
prices are rising now but will still re-
main reasonable until the big demand
begins to develop. Prices of 1925 to
$2.75 at the mine, with a freight rate
of $3.50 to Indianapolis have been paid
within few days for Pocahontas.
The federation also has an option on
the output of a mine in West Virginia
which will sell at dollar a ton, if its
full output can be taken.
County officials, in many parts of
the state, are buying through the fed
Grafton at the suggestion of their To-
cal farm bureaus, said Mr. Boyle
"They are cutting their tax expendi-
j lures for coal by one or two dollars a
ton" he stated, and the coal is being
| handled through local dealers who get
their usual handling charge so no one
| is harmed"
Buy In Quantity
! I'VE are often able to place fertil
! iZer orders or feed orders at dollar
to two dollars under the market, >
! said the speaker, explaining the bar
gaining advantage of the Federated
/ Marketing service with its huge buy
j ing power, an advantage not possessed
by local dealers. Buying in quantity
placing orders in job lots where some
dealer or manufacturer is anxious t.
get rid of goods, or taking the full
output of a small factory, are some
of the methods of cutting under the
market. In order to get such prices
the bona fide orders must be ready
to place, however, he said. In CASE
bids are asked or the supplies bough
