SCOUTS HIGHER PRICE
IN JOINT WHEAT SALE.
Chicago Trade Board Head Sees
Disaster in Cooperative
Marketing Movement.
By the Associa ted Press.

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO, October 12.-Application
of fruit marketing rules to grain and
cotton is "the greatest blunder ever
made in the cooperative movements"
John J. Stream. president of the Chi
cago board of trade, declared here
last night.
THE thought seems to prevail" he
said, that cooperative ventures are
in some way superior to the efforts of
the Independent dealer or the present
marketing system. while official rec
ords show that they are subject to
precisely the same hazards of any
other business"
Department of Agriculture reports,
he said, showed 243 farmers associa-
tions had failed since 1912 but added
that cooperative marketing could
serve distinct purpose in the han
ding of perishable crops. such as
vegetables and fruits, where it is
necessary to create or stimulate the
demand.
Farmers have been told by ILL
advised organizers that cooperative

such talk is ridiculous. Should there
be successful movement to pool or
store wheat and hold II from market
! any price advance would be only
| temporary, for sooner or later the
| wheat would have to be sold.
| IF 1t were held from market any
length of time 1t might bring dis
aster. for with the unnaturally high
prices the greatest wave of wheat
growing in history would sweep the

inevitably bring ruin for innumerable
producers and owners of wheat"

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, October 12.-
A fixed price by the government on

farmers burdens, Henry c. Wallace,
Secretary of the United States De-

address yesterday to delegates to the
seventeenth annual sessions of the
International Farm Congress. in prog
gress here.
ANY fair price that might be fixed
Mr.. Wallace said, would be q stimu-
lated price and would do more harm
than good. For 1000 years govern
ments have tried to adjust prices,
and, in an exhaustive study of their
methods and the ends attained fall
ed to f1nd single success.
Would Mean New Problem.
TO buy and hold the surplus grain
would be harder on the specialized
grain farmer than the price condi-
tion that now exists, for next year
and every year there would be a sur
plus. Hence. to buy the surplus one
year only postpones the situation the
farmer viii have to face later"
Mr.. Wallace made a prediction that
q solution of the farmers problem
soon would be forthcoming from the
United States government. mo group
as important to the country as the
great agricultural body can be per-
mitted to remain in need of assist

ministration are working on the prob
lem and some time later will make a
