A, OF G, TO HELP FARMERS SELL
WHEAT AT PROFITABLE PRICE

The Minot Association of Commerce
at special meeting of it's board OF
directors today, heartily endorsed the
movement, the object of which is to
enable the farmer to dispose of his
spring wheat at reasonable price
Halvor L. Halvorson addressed the
board and explained at considerable
length the present difficulties of the
farmers.
The following resolution was adopt
ed:
Whereas, it has come to the atten-
ton of the Association of Commerce
of the city of Minot, that there is
bonafide effort to form an organiza-
ton enabling the farmer to name q
price on spring wheat, based upon the
cost of production and reasonable
profit to the farmer;
And, whereas, we know that the
present price paid the farmer at the
local elevators is below the actual
value Of said grain, and feel that the
premium which spring grown wheat
should bring for milling purposes, IS
not now reflected to the farmer, now
therefore, be it
Resolved that we heartily endorse
such movement; that we believe the
farmer who produces the crop is the
best informed on the cost OF produc.-
ton and that the public will support
the producer in demanding q tar
price therefor, that so far as IS pro-
per for our organization, we will give
all aid and support possible in fur
thering the organization and cooper
alton of farmers in North Dakota,
tending to create fair price market
for his grain.
